I inherited a tradition of healing from my father who was trained in Traditional Swedish Massage by his father. My grandfather was a boxing trainer and massuer from Clyde Bank, Scotland. I later trained and worked as a massage therapist and weight trainer at Lloyd's Gym & Spa in Aspen, Colorado. Further studies included yoga, massage, reflexology and prana theraby with Hawaii's McKenzie Institute for Traditional Chinese Medicine followed by Kriya Yoga training and initiation at the Self-Realization fellowship retreat center in Encinitas, California (known as 'Swami's' among southern California surfers). From 1980 to 1997 I served as an Oregon Certified EMT II and Firefighter with the Powers Rural Fire and Rescue Service.
