Dr. David Kearney is among the West Coast pioneers of energetic medicine. A native of Ireland, Dr. Kearney immigrated to Australia when he was 13 years old. In 1975, after receiving a diploma from the Acupuncture College Australia, Dr. Kearney joined the faculty there and began lecturing in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane. During this time he also attended the New South Wales College of Naturopathy and Osteopathy in Sydney.
As one of the few qualified figures in Oriental medicine in the late 1970’s Dr. Kearney was invited by the California Acupuncture College to become head of their acupuncture department (the second institution of its kind accredited in California). Over the next several years, while simultaneously building a private practice, Dr. Kearney served as one of the early consultants to both the National and State Acupuncture Boards, helping to create and write the first National Board Examination. During his time at the College, he was instrumental in the implementation of Orienal Medicine on the West coast.
Indigenous influences have deeply informed Dr. Kearney’s professional education. In India, he studied with Mahatma Satyanand, Doctor of Homeopathy and Ayurvedic medicine in New Delhi. Dr. Kearney and Dr. Satyanand combined Oriental and traditional Indian medicine, producing profound results for patients who sometimes formed a line down the block.
Over a period of 15 years, Dr. Kearney traveled nationally and internationally as the road doctor for various musical acts. He is recognized with special acknowledgments on Bob Dylan’s album, Knocked Out and Loaded, as well as George Harrison’s album, Cloud Nine. He has worked with countless other celebrities, as well as a cross section of patients from the private sector.
Dr. Kearney has enjoyed teaching and demonstrating the principles of power healing through his private practice, and has expanded his teachings to a much wider audience through seminars. He has also experienced success with a wide variety of patient cases, including rehabilitating patients after severe spinal cord trauma, assisting with childbirth, alleviating pain and helping to improve the quality of life for thousands of patients. He has also practiced on Olympic athletes, a wide range of sports injuries and has worked on international athletes at UCLA. Some of his patients have included Gold medalists.
He has taught workshops for performers as well as for the private sector. His Transformative Self Healing Course, “Power Healing,” has been a popular teaching tool for decades. The course has been taught extensively, and has helped thousands of people gain the practical knowledge presented more extensively in “Just Chaaa.” The video Power Healing that paired with the workshop features an opening interview with Ringo Starr, who attests to the value of Dr. Kearney’s breathwork.
My approach is the culmination of many years of figuring out what really works – and what doesn’t. I learned on my own healing adventure, there is much more to deep and complete healing than symptom relief. I look at what’s going on with the energy system, how unprocessed emotions might be affecting that, and help you become rebalanced. I have a knack for seeing things from a different angle and finding all the reasons you might not be letting go of that which you are desperately trying to recover from. I will be there for you every step of the way but I will always put you in charge of your own healing.
For more than 20 years, chef Flo cooked for her many students and celebrity clients the way she had learned in her native France: rich in butter and creamy sauces, heavy on meats, eggs and dairy. Then a paradigm shift happened. She began to see how certain foods had a profoundly positive effect on the health of her autistic daughter and on Flo herself. She created her own food pyramid based on three principles: vegan, gluten-free and pH-balanced. Menus began evolving. Flo started using dense plant-based hypoallergenic foods like sprouted grains, nuts, vegetarian proteins, fresh greens and produce from local farms.
Flo was determined to use this shift to help others receive the dietary components needed to achieve health through food. With her 25 years of culinary expertise and love for flavor, she put weekly meals together to fill the needs of those wanting a more balanced way of eating that was convenient and cost a fraction of health food store prices.
Flo’s journey of ‘health through food’ balances her company values of fresh and raw food nutrition with social and environmental consciousness; being aware of how what we eat affects the earth itself and all animals that live on it. Purchasing seasonal and local, she is able to provide the best quality products that are cost efficient, reduce the carbon footprint, and are cooked with the intention for your good health.
“I started making small changes, the slightest switches; those changes became strong habits. I started making it my ambition to locate recipes to eat healthy, wholesome foods. I seek strength, health and longevity and want the same for my clients.”
