Tuihl-hah-pah-nu     "She Who Looks Far"

I am a PhD level psychologist with a specialty in traumatology and psycho-neuro-immunonlgy----basically the study of body-mind regarding stressors that are chronic and acute and the relationships to a variety of emotional and physical manifestations. I have a long history of working with people with chronic and terminal illness. During the AIDS crisis I worked for ten years helping people live and die with dignity and faith. Along my path I became very ill with a complete physiological collapse and as the doctors have told me I was about 1 week away from dying. It was at this time that so many different healers came into my life. The timing has always been interesting to me since I had spent most of my life till then in the discovery of the more---source--other dimensions and the connection of all things; at a time when these questions were not acceptable in formal educational settings. Then there I was deep in the midst of a physical/emotional/spiritual crisis.

 I believe my illness was the divine  showing me the lived experience. Of all that I had come to question, to know and to learn. From my healing journey (which took years), I was led to many teachers. I have been so blessed to be mentored and apprenticed by great Tibetan and Chinese healers, Shamans, healers from many faiths and systems. I studied TCM, Tibetan medicine, acupuncture, herbology, naturopathy, and Shamanic studies, as well as meditation, yoga, chi qong, chakra energy, and balancing, esoteric healing, and of course many western systems of healing.

As the years progressed I realized that I needed to formalize my studies so I went back to school and received a second doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and since then am actively involved in completing my studies as a Medicine Woman. My Native American name is "She Who Looks Far." 

For all of his adult life, Ken had been drawn to the study of diverse perspectives and experiences of growth and healing.   He has sometimes found his way to a study or experience because of intellectual curiosity, but more and more often because of a his own healing or the need to facilitate healing of a client.  He has found that healing often needs to occur in multiple aspects of functioning, body, mind, and soul for change to occur.  His earliest studies and experiences were in American Indian and Shamanic healing.  His psychological perspective is influenced by Process-Experiential therapy, Jungian thought, Systems and family therapy, Psycho-neuro-immunology, and the study of trauma, grief and loss, and living with chronic and acute physical illness.  Even before he received his license in massage therapy, he had studied and experienced energy healing, structural body work, chakra and meridian balancing, various forms of meditation, and the intuitive orientation.
