1. Energy Kinesiology Narrator: Tell us how you first got started in Kinesiology.
I began exploring integrative health including Chiropratic, Nutrition, Reiki and Dowsing beginning in 1984, and internal alchemy in 1987. Then on three separate occasions people from Halifax, London and Montreal, who had travelled to where I was, and who had a connection to a direct or indirect connection with the Taoist Tai Chi ® Society of Canada....each had a significant role in introducing me to manual muscle monitoring. The pieces started fitting together. I feel my mission is to cherish that 'health is wealth' and my contribution is as a volunteer through the International Taoist Tai Chi ® Society, and as a professional facilitator to attend to whomever sincerely asks for assistance.
2. What is your educational background.
I have studied what people call:
"water safety" and "life-saving" Instructor Training with the Canadian Red Cross Society and the Royal Life-Saving Society, and "first aid/CPR" with the St. John's Ambulance Society.

3. Tell us about the modalities you employ and how your clients benefit from them.
I set up a number of sole proprietorships under the names of "A Centre of Experiential Oneness," "Wellness and Transformation," "Playatwork FUNdamentals," and "Well-being and Transformation." My practice operates through a Division called, "Metta (loving kindness) Institute for Well-being." I operate by appointment at a storefront, by phone/Skype and by email. I developed the "Unfolding Synthesis" combining principles from Zen Kinesiology, William Linson, Marshall Rosenberg, and developed "Eleven Directions Integrated Learning (ELDIRIN)" based on client-focused intentions, goals and noticing. People feel good and at the same time save time and money. My practice is primarily based on the work of Margaret Fields Kean (Margaret Ann Richardson Kean), and its antecendents of Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Touch for Health®, and Brain Gym®. I also blend in the principles of Neuro-Kinesiology, Non-Violent Communication, Conflict Resolution and Mediation, and Global Conflict Transformation.
4. Please share a case history of one of your clients.
A woman hundreds of miles away in Sudbury, Ontario, told me over the phone of shoulder pain that acupuncture, massage and physiotherapy did not alleviate. We made arrangements to schedule a telephone appointment at a mutually convenient time. She called again and over this distance, I muscle tapped energetically the upper trapezius muscles. Her response to the immediate relief was “how did you do that?”
In another case history, the experience was similar. A one-legged man at Virginia Beach looked in pain and I asked if I could be of assistance and he agreed. After a couple of body alignment techniques, there was a loud crack and his (torqued) knee pain disappeared and in astonishment he declared “How’d you do that?” I then noticed another level of discomfort and with permission I attended to his atlas wedge and the migraine headache pain he told me he had... dissolved.
5. Would you like to share anything else?
When we seek assistance we can go within as we have all the ingredients inside already. And if we go within and do not find the answer, we can ask our guidances and the Divine Light of all our relations including our ancestors.
I attach an amazing article on The Inherent Symbol of Flow related to water dynamics and Dr. Wayne Cook's hookups both based on the principle of a lemniscate "8" or figure "8.:FLOW
I also attach an article for growing community called "Energy Balance Exchange" Growing Community regarding evenings I co-sponsor www.energybalanceexchange.org, with Spiritual Frontiers Canada, www.spiritualfrontiers.ca at no cost to participants.
