"The theory of Nonverbal Language Integration" shows how the ventral vagus nerve pathways of interpersonal communication can be exercised consciously and toned directly through specific facial expressions, gestures, and postures that promote rapport. Rapport involves respect, trust, and confidence. This new theory identifies the interrelationships between specific nonverbal language behaviors (pragmatics), biochemical messengers, parasympathetic vagus nerve activation, rapport, and learning.

As a speech-language pathologist since 1976, Dorothy Bohntinsky's career has focused on helping people to communicate. Her career began in clinical settings, helping children with delayed language and speech, and adults with a wide variety of communication impairments resulting from neurological damage. In the early 1990s, Dorothy expanded her work by writing a workbook and audiotape program to assist the non-native English speaker in speaking English clearly and effectively. She wrote a workbook on pragmatics to training the native English speaker to communicate with greater clarity and effectiveness. Between 1976 and 2000, Dorothy's writing was technical.
In 2000 Dorothy Bohntinsky lost her fourteen-year-old daughter following a four-monthlong illness. During the fourteen months that followed, she also lost her parents. Dorothy drew upon her clinical experience and writing skills to wrote a journal demonstrating her process of healing from significant loss. During this process, she realized that she was writing a book, "The Healing Room: Discovering Joy through the Journal," to help people communicate with themselves and to help others communicate with someone going through tragedy. Dorothy writes to understand life situations and herself better. She demonstrates to others an approach for enhancing self-awareness through writing. Her book, "Sustenance: Integrating Creativity with Rock Art," is based on her interest in Native American rock art. It shows how ancient images can inspire our poetic writing. Other her works include "Transformational Healing Through the Integration of Self" and "Nonverbal Language Integration for Exercising Vagus Nerve Pathways."
