research & Development
At Project Healing Hive, we are dedicated to leading the way in innovative clinical research to revolutionize mental health care. Our focus is on developing and validating integrative therapies that combine traditional and holistic approaches to provide comprehensive, effective treatment for mental health conditions and overall wellness.
Why Our Research Matters:
​
Holistic Healing: Our research validates the effectiveness of treatments that address the whole person, integrating mind and body for comprehensive care.
​
Scientific Rigor: Despite being a smaller nonprofit, our studies adhere to the highest standards of scientific research, ensuring robust, reliable results that advance the field of mental health.
​
Accessible Care: We focus on developing therapies that are not only effective but also affordable, accessible, and easy to integrate into daily life, making mental health care more inclusive.

Research Initiatives
Beehive Immersion Therapy (BIT)
As PHH founder Kristen was seeking help after the loss of her child's father, she found that the standard model for mental health care was not helping and most recommendations for alternative therapies were too expensive and not covered by insurance leaving Kristen feeling the frustration that many others have experienced with standard model mental healthcare.
Kristen began spending time at her friend's apiary, a quiet sanctuary she never imagined would become her place of healing. Surrounded by the steady hum of bees, Kristen found a surprising sense of calm. The rhythmic buzz became a harmony of healing, helping to soothe her dysregulated nervous system. Scientific studies suggest that the frequency of bee sounds can help regulate the nervous system, reducing anxiety and depression. As the weeks passed, the bees’ gentle vibrations became a balm for Kristen’s soul, slowly mending her shattered heart and restoring a sense of peace and balance she thought she’d lost forever. This experience became the first hypothesized treatment model that PHH would begin its research.
Pilot Program
Our Pilot Case Study is designed to observe the impact of BIT on participants over the course of an 8-week program.
Research Goals
Using Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and Neurofeedback (NFB), researchers will evaluate neuroplasticity, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and breath pattern awareness.
Complementary
Integration
Model (CIM)
Studies show that Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM) may help improve neuroplasticity and cognition and may decrease depression symptoms. By integrating CAM therapies into a standard model CBT plan, neuroplasticity may have the ability to improve cognition and reduce depression symptoms making the CBT treatment more effective. Neurofeedback (NFB) is a noninvasive treatment for mental health issues. NFB uses sensors and a Brain Computer Interface to measure brainwaves, allowing individuals to observe and modulate their own brain’s activity. A feedback and reward system helps patients achieve brain states associated with self-regulation, attention, focus, and other improvements relative to behavioral health conditions. NFB helps address patterns of dysregulation associated with irregular brainwave activity found in trauma.

Pilot Program
This Pilot Case Study will observe the effects of CBT integrated with specially selected evidence-based CAM modalities (including yoga, biofield therapies, and nutritional psychiatry) have on individuals with anxiety and/or depression over an 8-week period.
Research Goals
Using Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and Neurofeedback (NFB), researchers will evaluate neuroplasticity, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and breath pattern awareness and how those findings improve cognition making CBT more effective and promote long-term mental and physical wellness.
