About …
The Institute for Humanistic Energy Therapy

The Institute for Humanistic Energy Therapy provides opportunities for you to learn to access your own wisdom and knowledge to support yourself and your clients.
In experiential learning settings the Institute provides first hand experiences to establish what is good for you and what supports you best – in your professional practice or in day-to-day life.
It is the Institute’s vision to support individuals and groups to gain an understanding of what it means to help one’s self, to be one’s own health expert and to be responsible for one’s own well-being.

Us

We are providing counselling and healing sessions, courses and programs that have helped us to overcome physical injuries, diseases and pains like migraine headaches, chronic back and hip pain, knee, shoulder and other joint pains as well as physical trauma. We moved on from emotional and mental distress like depression, anxiety, grief, emotional trauma, stress and confusion. Everything we apply and teach has been experienced by ourselves as being helpful in the process of healing. We are prepared to work with your needs and to share tools to help you move on.

Married since 1996 and both working with youth at that time we decided to head towards the field of Humanistic Psychology experiencing the growing effects of client-centred communication within our relationship and with our clientele. Seeing quick results achieved by Energy Therapies in counselling work we focused especially on intuition-based techniques as every client is unique with his or her personal history. Clients that would have come 10 or 12 times for counselling before can reach the same outcome in 2 or 3 energy-based sessions.

Comparing the results of sessions we did separately from each other with the outcome of treatments we did together, it became apparent that 1 plus 1 equals at least 3. Clients have made a much greater progress working with the two of us together. Committed to provide the best service, we decided to work together as a team providing the male and female perspective, the male and female energy-flow for our clients’ progress.

Today, we run a private practice and the Institute for Humanistic Energy Therapy on a beautiful acreage just outside of Parksville, BC, Canada. Together with our children, we grow most of our own food and raise goats, chicken and some pets.
