He has been on a spiritual journey throughout his entire life. Having studied several spiritual paths and recognizing truth in most, he has been a student and teacher of a course in miracles for the past 31 years. His core belief is healing through the mind with Spirit as guide and healer. While listening in meditation he was gifted with a healing process/meditation that according to some authors was also taught by Buddha. Following this inner guidance he helps others to open a space and connect with their own ability to heal. And with the help of Spirit as the actual healer, to wake up to our true nature in peace and joy.
