Biography
'After a succession of destructive relationships in his
mid-twenties, Ben realized that he was reenacting the
traumas of his childhood and adolescence. Being very
intuitive, he began to develop an entire series of
intensive meditation practices to facilitate the
awakening of the innate healing intelligence residing
within the body and mind.
Ben began to explore a wide range of therapeutic
interventions and soon thereafter returned to the
ancient practices he had learned while training with
Horace Daukei, a traditional Native American doctor
(medicine man) from the Kiowa Tribe. Ben later went
on to train with Chinese Master Sifu Li Tai Liang. He
has incorporated these practices that have their roots
in the ancient Taoist lineages.
As Ben continued to progress in his own healing
journey, he could see these changes being reflected
back to him in the people he attracted into his life and
in his relationships. Ben began to facilitate this healing
process for others, enabling them to let go of
unhealthy attachments. By releasing what no longer
served them, they were able to attract healthier
companions with whom they could create more
meaningful and deeply fulfilling relationships.
He has over the years combined the elements of all
these practices and interventions into a
comprehensive system to facilitate the healing of the
body and mind, heartbreak and other deep emotional
wounds.'
