Having studied herbology under Dr. Christopher, and Ayurveda under Dr. Saboda (a student of Vasant Lad),
Dr. Kusmis still finds both modalities very helpful. She studied acupuncture at the University of Colorado, but after
receiving additional training and certification at the Institute of Bio-Molecular Education and Research, Dr. Kusmis came
to prefer electro-acupuncture, since quicker results can be achieved by this non-invasive modality.
Interested in subtle-body energy emanations,
Dr. Kusmis studied and experimented with radionics for decades, as well as biofeedback and numerous other electronic devices.
She also received a MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Connecticut.
She remains knowledgeable about numerous electro-therapies, although she now favors healing with energetics which use
the human body as a finely tuned instrument instead. She is a Reiki Master and Certified KatharaTM
Bio-Spiritual Healing Facilitator.
She
was in a PhD program in bio-medical engineering at Syracuse University, but although she excelled in her studies there, she
chose to withdraw in order to move to Colorado under the advise her child's medical doctor, who said a climate change
would alleviate the child's respiratory problems. She
later received her PhD in comparative religion, also becoming an ordained minister. She is a Level IV MCEO Ordinate Consummate
(Melchizedek Cloister Emerald Order).
After
receiving training in clinical psychology, she became licensed as a pastoral counselor. Upon receiving certification in Ericsonian
Hypnotherapy in conjunction with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Dr. Kusmis incorporated that modality into her counseling
practice.
While in Colorado,
Dr. Kusmis founded and operated three pre-schools while simultaneously working as a computer design engineer for IBM Corporation,
specializing in bio-medical equipment. There she developed a long term friendship with another IBM scientist, Dr. Marcel Vogel,
who trained her in the effective usage of VogelTM precision laser-cut quartz crystals for
healing.
Dr. Kusmis is
also a skilled intuitive, perhaps from having devoted an hour each morning and evening to spiritual meditation for over
35 years. Believing everyone can develop their own powers of discernment, she teaches clients a technique which activates
their ESP and higher sensory capabilities.
As
clients experience results from "switching on" these current flows to enhance their own innate knowingness,
their self-confidence increases and they begin to realize they have many more options! Feeling empowered by this, many choose
to continue on with classes to activate additional capabilities for energetic self-healing. The resulting feeling of well-being
and consciousness-expansion is a joyful discovery, as clients progressively work with the powerful energetic techniques which
Dr. Kusmis teaches!
Dr.
Kusmis is also an effective motivational speaker, enthusiastically introducing alternative approaches to maintain health and
wellness. Organizations wishing to motivate their employees to make healthy lifestyle choices can benefit by sending them
to these powerful presentations! Arrangements can also be made for Wellness Seminars to be conducted on site.
Since she attends several holistic conferences every year, she has developed
professional contacts worldwide. Knowledgeable about methods generally unknown, she provides referals to expert
practitioners outside the USA when appropriate.
In
addition to her many other activities, Dr. Kusmis still makes time to work with clients on an individual basis. She understands
the challenges involved during the transition period of making important life-style changes. Warm and sincere, she always
finds it meaningful to provide loving support to those who might otherwise feel overwhelmed. Innformation on her personal
background follows.
