Education & Training

Background & History

I have been a practicing Mental Health Therapist since the 1980s working in schools, youth service agencies, community mental health clinics, drug and alcohol treatment centers and private practice. Initially I was providing individual, couple and family therapy using conventional methods. Then I had an experience that changed my life. A fellow health professional had a toothache that was causing him a lot of pain. He asked me heal it. As I placed my hand on his face, I experienced a warm surge of energy flowing from my hand to his face and shortly after his pain was significantly reduced. I began using this energy and other forms of energy that I seemed to access naturally to help other professional colleagues and friends with their physical and then, eventually, emotional problems and blocks. They were so impressed that they started to refer their own patients to me to remove emotional and physical blocks that conventional therapy could not relieve. People who benefited from my energy work who were also in traditional talk therapy found their sessions and progress to be much improved.

My specialty was born.

At that point I knew that the healing energy that was naturally flowing through me was very effective in addressing emotional and physical imbalances. I felt, however, that it would be good to supplement this energy with training in a variety of popular energy healing techniques. The end result was that I mastered many techniques and put a lot of diplomas on my wall but my clients kept asking instead for the type of energies that I had been in tune with naturally.

I realized that it was possible to attune to a variety of even stronger and higher group of these energies found in nature. Many of these higher healing energies had the ability to heal more quickly and deeply a particular illness or weakness. I found that I could "custom blend" energy frequencies for each client's needs. I began to create a lifestyle where I was spending much time in wilderness areas meditating, praying and becoming a stronger healer. I also found that I had a spiritual connection with Christ so I began using him as my guide in gathering and using new healing energies. Although I ask Christ to help me in my work, my healing is not of a religious nature and I welcome people of all beliefs. This gathering of energies started in 1996 and has occupied most of my focus since.
