Why did you get interested in Psychic Phenomenon?

I first became interested in psychic phenomenon in the late 1980s when I began having strange personal experiences that I couldn't explain.  At the time, I was only months away from completing my two Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics. Being scientific-minded, I decided I could not pretend these experiences didn't happen. I needed to know what I was experiencing and why it was happening. I began reading metaphysical books and newsletters and searching for someone who could give me my answers.

By 1995, life was getting exciting. I was having even more strange experiences, but they were fleeting and somewhat random.  I began personal studies with a gifted psychic who I met through a mutual friend. Again, my progress was exciting but fleeting.

In late 1996, I was drawn to Psychic Horizons Center in Boulder, CO. I enrolled in their clairvoyant training program and began studying with Mary Bell Nyman and Hope Hewetson. It was at Psychic Horizons that the real excitement began. My eyes were opened to a world of experiences I had previously only read about in books. Seeing auras and reading energy became normal, everyday events. Even the seemingly insignificant events in my life started to take on new meaning. Most importantly, I discovered that I could look inside and find my own answers.

In the following years, I began giving psychic readings and healings professionally and continued my training through graduate clairvoyant classes, teachers training and spiritual workshops on a wide range of topics including Astral Travel, Relationships, Male/Female Communication, Ascension, the Light Body, and Past Lives. I served on the board of directors for Psychic Horizons Center for 3 years and was ordained a Suffragan Bishop (Right Reverend) of the Church of Inner Light in January 2003.

From 2003-2006, I studied Trance Mediumship with John Fulton, founder of the Aesclepion Healing Center in San Rafael, CA. This intense training was instrumental in helping me access my channeled healing abilities. Through years of training and practice, I developed confidence and poise in communicating with and channelling Spirit Guides. I use my trance medium abilities daily in both my personal meditations and my hand-on healing practice.

In 2003, I co-founded Spirit 2 Spirit Communicationswith Ken Bechtel to offer personal development classes focusing on practical applications of spiritual awareness. Together, we taught classes for developing intuition, healing relationships, self-healing through meditation, living your wildest dreams, and more.

In 2005, I began studying with renouned psychic  Jim Self. Jim’s teaching helped me take my personal spirituality to a whole new dimension. His Next Steps program fueled my move to Sedona, and his Mastering Alchemy program completely changed my perspective on life. Jim’s guided meditations inspired me to bring through the Sacred Heart Healing modality which I practice and teach today.

In May 2005, I expanded my spiritual teaching over seas, offering a 2 day mediumship training in Uganda, Africa. I love to travel, as it always opens my mind to new opportunities.  This trip inspired me to put aside all other efforts and make my spiritual teaching and healing practice my full-time endeavor.

In November 2005, I relocated from Denver, CO to Sedona, AZ, to engage my full-time clairvoyant reading ,energy healing, and spiritual coaching practice. I also teach personal development classes on intuition and mediumship, and lead guided meditations, group healings, and Earth healing at the Creative Life Center.  Sedona has inspired me in so many ways, and I am very grateful for the continued support of this amazing  spiritual community. You can read more about many of Sedona’s healers on my 100 Healings website which tracks my healing tithing project in Sedona.

Moving to Sedona also spurred a flurry of spiritual travel.  From 2005-2008, I completed Michael Tamura's Advanced Healer’s Apprenticeship Series in Mount Shasta, CA.  I also completed Jim Self's "Into the Center" program. The combination of Michael & Jim’s incredible teaching and the healing energies of Mount Shasta helped me find new personal depths and a long sought calmness inside.

In January 2008, my teaching took on a new, yet familiar, twist. Fascinated by the physics, sacred geometry, and mystical studies of Nassim Haramein, I applied for his intensive "Galactic Federation Emissary" program. The experience was incredible - expanding my awareness to whole new dimensions. Upon completion of this program, I began offering seminars to share Nassim's important work.

Each year brings a new element into focus in my journey to bring healing and happiness to the planet. During 2009-2010, I traveled extensively, offering teaching and healing programs in the United States, Europe and Asia.  In 2010, I married my lovely wife Hisami Reiko, a naturally gifted psychic, healer, and teacher. Our relationship continues to fill me with incredible love, learning and awareness.

In 2011, I moved my home base to Tokyo, Japan, where I offered in-person healing sessions and spiritual training programs. I continued to travel to the US and Europe on regular teaching and healing journeys, and I offered ongoing support through remote reading, healing, and training programs.

In 2014, I met the wonderful people at Mindvalley and released my first online training program, Duality, which combined many of my training programs into a single program to introduce energy work to everyone.  It's success led to an additional 60-day online quest with Mindvalley, called Unlocking Transcendence, which guides people through a daily journey for unlocking new awareness.

Working with Mindvalley opened my eyes to the amazing impact which can be achieved through online training. Instead of reaching individuals through private sessions, or reaching hundreds of students per year in live seminars, my free online classes reached tens of thousands of people at once, and we enrolled thousands into the full training programs each year.

In 2016, I decide to focus where I can have the biggest impact. After 10 years in full-time private practice, I decided to take a break from private sessions and live workshops, to free my energy & time to create a bigger impact in the world.

Coincidentally (wink wink), the same year, I attended my wife Hisami's Spirit Mind seminars with an interpreter. I was blown away by her profound insights and teaching. It was clear to me that bringing Hisami's message to online training was the biggest impact I could offer the world.

Thus, I began working with my wonderful wife Hisami, to create our new company Spirit Mind Living and team to bring her amazing teaching and message to the world.  

PS:I'd like to slip in a quick thanks to all my wonderful teachers, students, clients and friends who share and enhance my journey. I love you all!
