I have had a fascination for healing and growth since the early ‘70’s. At the birth of the self-help “movement,” I was in a re-parenting group that was modeled after Jacqui Lee Schiff’s work and included Transactional Analysis as a framework. It was led by Caroline and Scott Mason to whom I am very grateful. I attended many other workshops and seminars. As a young man I was very curious about psychic phenomena and in school I began developing my intuitive abilities as I noticed for example, when what people were saying did not match my perception of the energy coming from them.

Massage and bodywork followed starting in 1977. I practiced with friends and their friends in between my musical activities and while learning many new modalities began to practice professionally.

Also in 1977 I began to attend and to play music for Emilie Conrad’s Continuum Movement studio. It was a rich exploration of the undulating wave of consciousness through cellular movement. My understanding of the body and its healing abilities was deeply enhanced by Emilie and her work. I was honored to collaborate from the area of sound and music. Much of what I learned there later informed my practice of Tantra and healing.

Two other important teachers in my life were/are: Rev William Rainen and Stephen Levine. William has been a mentor for me in the psychic arts and through whom I’ve had many discussions with the Grand Spirit Dr. Peebles. I’ve learned a great deal from William and Dr. Peebles and began to channel Dr. Peebles myself in 1997. Stephen Levine was a guide for me in meditation, healing and in how to be with those who were dying.
