1992, I was river rafting on the Colorado River. One day on the trip, I fell from a cliff into the Grand Canyon, about 50 feet – didn’t really measure the distance. I landed on a ledge and survived. I compound fractured my T-12 / L-1 vertebrae. That day I was lucky, I was still alive.

I realized in that moment that nobody can live your life for you. No person can bring you back from broke except yourself. No doctor and any advice can get you get back to normal, if there is a normal. I needed to learn how the body works. I knew that to repair myself, I needed to know my anatomy.

1996, I took a course in Structural Integration Therapy. My teacher, Menlha had just started her Kootenay School of Rebalancing in San Juanillo, Costa Rica (becometocostarica.com). I spent 5 months in a group of 30 wonderful people, learning a deep tissue bodywork, part structural integration/ part trager. Nice to learn massage on a white sand beach.

1997, I studied Zen Shiatsu in Whistler, BC. My teacher was Karen Cruishank. Meridian lines and acid and alkaline pH. She was adamant about the healing properties of sea salts and short grain brown rice. Her focus was on Japanese macrobiotic cooking with wild foraged foods and their many medicinal uses. We learnt that energy comes from all walks of life – the ground, the heavens, the food, the water and our family lines.

Presently, I am studying from the Quantum Biofeedback Scio Epfx system. It is an universal educational system using frequency to alter the neural pathway to dis-ease. thequantumalliance.com is the best source of information for this new technology. Also reading an article in odemagazine.com/doc/61/neurofeedback will bring you up to speed.

My yoga teachers have been great influences to my insights to the body and the way it moves and works. One of my goals is to have the financial income to study with my yoga teachers as seriously as I have in my past. Since they are all around the world, I will also have the pleasure of travelling to see them. mountainyoga.ca, www.hathayogashala.com and shadowyoga.com I am presently working for yyoga.ca and meeting a whole new slew of great teachers.

To my teachers, thank you for your training and your patience with me.

Please take the time to look at my teacher’s websites, it will be quite inspirational. I am grateful for all that they have taught me and I hope I can represent them as the inspiration they were to me.
