My teaching and professional credentials are rooted in Eastern systems of training and accomplishment. I am the first Westerner to be given permission by a sanctioned Lama of the Shangpa Kagyu Tradition to publicly teach the Tibetan 5 Element Tantric Methods for the purpose of sexual and spiritual healing. I have completed over 50,000 hours of sexual and non-sexual, lineage-based Tantric meditation and Tibetan 5 Element Healing Practices.

I have recited 111,111 mantras with visualizations of the following Vajrayana Diety Yoga practices of; Green Tara, White Chenrezig, White Mahakala, and I have recognized accomplishment in the Vajrayana Tantra practices of; Vajrasattava, Tummo, Black Mahakala, Manjushri, Medicine Buddha, and all 4 Ngondro components. I was an ordained monk of the Ishaya Order from 1999-2008. My authority to teach and practice Tantra is recognized according to the standards of our 2600-year-old Tantric Tradition. I teach with the blessing and permission of my root Lama, as is appropriate in authentic traditions of Tantra, and our school and work in this field have been privately approved by the head of the Shangpa Kagyu Tradition, the venerable Kalu Rinpoche.

We continue to teach the sexual application of Tibetan 5 Element Tantra with his approval and blessings. I have Founded the first and ONLY government-accredited school for tantric sexual healing in the world, and I developed the only tantra curriculum in the world classified as Acupuncture and oriental medicine (CIP Code 51.3302) and graduates of our school hold the National Occupational Code of “Practitioners of Natural Healing” – NOC Code 3232 – Practitioners of natural healing.
