Profiles

Rick Babington is an advanced student of Acutonics® he began his studies in 2010, and most recently I had the opportunity to work with him when he traveled to the UK to take the Unwinding Trauma class that I taught there. I suspect he felt drawn to this class in part because it gave him an opportunity to explore his British and Scotch/Irish heritage, as he related to me it feels quite natural to wear a kilt.

Although Amanda Simon is based in the United Kingdom, she has made many trips to the Mothership in New Mexico to complete her course work since beginning her Acutonics studies with Joanie Solaini in England in 2016. Currently, she is visiting with us to work on her thesis, her last remaining requirement to become a Certified Acutonics® Practitioner. Traveling to the US is not a hardship for Amanda as she has come to love the Southwestern United States, the people, light, indigenous cultures and wide open spaces. She has already forged many bonds of friendship with people in New Mexico.

Over the past twenty years, one of the most gratifying experiences for me personally has been the international growth of Acutonics and the opportunity to meet and work with students from around the globe. I just had the pleasure of meeting Olga Bettoni, who attended the new elective that I taught in the UK. Olga’s interest in Acutonics began while she was in acupuncture school.

Will Morris comes to Acutonics from his work at the intersection of medicine, astrology, and music. He has a history of using the astrological chart to select sound frequencies for the healing process, so the Acutonics approach was a perfect fit.

Holly Wilson Greene is a force of nature, generous and kind, with a passion to make a difference in the world and a genuine appreciation for Acutonics. I first met Holly at Acutonics Camp several years ago, a student of Katie Mink and Laurie Herron, and an Athletic Trainer for over fifty years, she was demonstrating techniques for taping injuries – I still have and use the tape that she gifted to me.

Eeka King is an experienced acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner, nationally licensed (in Australia) with AHPRA and a member of AACMA. She has completed extensive training in astrology and has been a seeker of spiritual and esoteric wisdom since her teens. In clinical practice for more than fifteen years, she sees clients at Bayside Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Clinic, Brunswick Heads (near Byron Bay), Australia and also offers Acutonics sessions from her private studio space. As a senior licensed Acutonics faculty member for the past six years, Eeka offers the full Acutonics curriculum. Many of her students are near completion of the full certification program, and she will be starting new groups through certification this fall. Her upcoming classes can be found below.

MichelAngelo, long-time member of the extended Acutonics® family, has a new book of astrological essays that is available on Amazon. Random Ramblings of an Astrological Autodidact is self-reflective and insightful. The essays are engaging and thoughtful offering in-depth analysis of multiple horoscopes including those of rock stars such as Elton John and Elvis Presley as well as authors, composers, and other individuals of note. Given his astrological specialty, a number of these essays focus on medical conditions, accidents and premature deaths. There is tremendous depth in these wide ranging case examples of peoples’ lives viewed with an astrological lens. Big congratulations to MichelAngelo for the Five Star reviews on Amazon.

Keith is a Cancerian born in Southwark, London on July 12, 1950. I was privileged to have a safe and secure childhood with loving parents, a lovely sister and my black Labrador dog, Jess. As an early teenager I loved being a boy scout. It truly was a time of innocence, wonder and adventure.

While preparing for an annual excursion to Brasil to see my daughter, I’m remembering a man I met there nearly five years ago. In January of 2014, the height of Brasil’s steamy summer, Alaine and I hiked the Atlantic Forest surrounding Paranapiacaba, a tiny railroad town near São Paulo that has seen better days. Per state park regulations, no one can enter the forest without a monitor ambiental (environmental monitor), and ours was a big, loquacious, adventuresome man named Marcos Vital.

A native of Canada, Patty now makes her home in Taos, New Mexico (just north of the Mothership). It was through her studies at California’s Hellerwork Structural Integration School that she ended up in the States and, in a roundabout way, after studying with Donna and Ellen, found her true calling: using Acutonics as a way to treat the equine species. Patty has been working with horses, and creating better relationships between horses and their riders, for over 15 years.
