Western medicine looks at the body as a war zone.
When you’re treating a place as a war zone,
there’s collateral damage.

I spent 13 years at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center — ICU, emergency room, hospital-wide chart review. I know what Western medicine can do and what it cannot.

In 2000, I began training under Matt VanBenschoten, a biophoton diagnostics pioneer who spent his career building a language to read the body’s energy field. For 15 years I worked alongside him. When he transitioned in 2015, I was one of the last practitioners of his methodology.

Since then, I have extended the work: adding G6PD enzyme deficiency protocols, refining the medicinal diet framework, and connecting Matt’s clinical system to the ancient wisdom traditions I have been studying for 35 years.

My whole start in life was about life and death.

A Language, Not a Technique

Biophoton Diagnostics is a system of hand mudra signals to read what the body’s energy pathways are communicating. I run signals on your energy body — the acupuncture meridian system — using Omura’s O-ring muscle testing to identify what is blocking the flow. It is a language. I have been speaking it for 26 years.

What’s Blocking the Energy

Most chronic conditions trace to what you are ingesting, what you are inhaling, and what your body cannot release. The medicinal diet identifies non-nutrients — salicylates, oxalates, solanine — that your body cannot process. Remove the obstruction. The body recalibrates. I have seen this happen in two days.

Three Energy Bodies

Beyond the physical body, we have an etheric body, an emotional body, and a mental body. A symptom that shows up on a Western test is already late — the energy body is the blueprint of what happens. The physical is where the symptom lands, not where it starts.

No one heals you. You are the one that heals you.
Most people’s souls are in the trunk of their car and they’re letting their cars automatically drive.
The symptoms are how our soul talks to our body.

If you are here because Western medicine has run out of answers — I may be able to help.

If you are willing to take responsibility for what your body is telling you — let’s work.

If you are looking for someone to fix you — this isn’t the right place.

All patients are word of mouth. If you found this site, someone thought you were ready.

Matt VanBenschoten transitioned in 2015.

For 15 years, I worked in his clinic. I am one of the last practitioners of his methodology.

I have extended it. That is the work.

The Teaching

I teach what I have spent 26 years learning: how to read the body’s energy field, how to identify and remove what is blocking it, and how to stop giving your healing away to someone else.

If you are ready to work.

In a first session, I ask questions — a lot of them. I take notes. I run signals on your energy body using hand mudras that correspond to pathogens, toxins, and patterns of energy movement. You will feel the O-ring test yourself — the difference between a strong signal and a weak one is immediate. From there, I build a herbal formula matched to what your body is showing, and identify which food items your body cannot currently release. Most people begin to notice a change within two to seven days.
