WELcoMe TO Agape Therapeutic...
Who I am and how I got here...
I am a married family guy with two adult daughters and have been married to my lovely partner for over thirty-two years. I began my alternative health career in 1994 as a registered massage therapist.
Working with so many individuals for almost 24 years, you observe how the body and mind react to and process traumatic life experiences. Failure to address these issues appropriately always impacts the mind and physical body. Over the years, I have honed a unique set of skills in listening and working with bodies. I developed my ability to muscle test and work with clearing trauma, emotions, and blockages through both personal and professional experience.
These skills developed slowly. In 2010, I became certified in Emotion Code and then completed Body Code certification in 2015. After retiring as a massage therapist in 2018, I began furthering my education in bodywork, energetics, and physiology with Ortho-Bionomy (OB). My pace in completing the OB practitioner training has prompted recent trainings in mind-body coaching techniques. My greatest passion in my work is to help others climb out from underneath the weight of their personal and ancestral trauma histories.
When you unpack the baggage, you allow yourself to move forward, be lighter, and be clearer on how to realize your dreams and goals. I would love the opportunity to work with you. If you have questions please set up a 30-minute discovery call.

What I do...
Release Your Pain and Unhealthy Patterns...
Everyone experiences trauma during their lives. These traumatic energies are layered upon any unresolved generational trauma energies received at conception. ALL inherited generational and personal trauma energies have negative physical, mental, and emotional effects.
These negative energetic signatures interfere with how your body functions. They are held within your unconscious mind and body right down to the mitochondrial level. They are creating your pain and your unhealthy physical, mental, and emotional patterns.
At Agape Therapeutic, we use bodywork, coaching and energy medicine tools for discovering and releasing these negative energetic signatures. This enables complete unwinding and healing from the underlying root causes creating your unhealthy patterns - personal and/or generational.

The Universal Model of Change
Change and growth are a normal part of life. Your perspective regarding change is a choice, and getting stuck resisting change is exhausting and painful. As human beings, we can get stuck in any of the following nine areas of life.
- Business/Career
- Family (parents, siblings, Aunt's, Uncle's & 1st cousins)
- Health
- Intimate Relationships (partner only - can have intimacy without sex)
- Money
- Self-Love (how you speak to & show up for yourself)
- Self-Expression (how you speak to & show up for others in social relationships etc.)
- Sex (can have sex without intimacy)
- Spirituality
Fear and resistance to change are universal human experiences that create all kinds of unhealthy patterns and habits. The difference between resisting and leaning into change comes down to knowledge and understanding. Check out the following video to understand what you've been experiencing repeatedly in your life.

Coaching, Energy Medicine, Ortho-Bionomy® & Intuitive Bodywork
Keep in mind that after a session, you can expect to go through an "integrative processing period" which may take up to 4 days to complete. With coaching and energy medicine, this period is for neurological reintegration, and with bodywork, this period is for physiological unwinding - these are both completely interwoven processes. There may be degrees of awareness/soreness with the body, and I recommend very gentle exercise, like walking or swimming.
Less than 20% of the time, there may be some symptoms associated with your processing, such as minor emotional irritability or fatigue. Occasionally, some people experience more uncomfortable symptoms such as headache or nausea. It always depends on the patterns you are clearing, and what's happening in all areas of your life. You can make the processing period easier by listening to your intuition, getting extra sleep, drinking a lot of pure water, avoiding overly stressful situations, and by increasing your self-care.
Some clients may feel subtle or dramatic changes right away, while others may need to receive additional sessions before shifts take place. Each person is unique with varied life experiences, so the pace of healing is not exact or predictable. Consider the image of dropping a pebble into a pond. The waves ripple out from the centre point over the entire surface of the pond. Healing energetic, neurological and physiological patterns creates ripples throughout your whole being.
Your course of action depends upon the goals and/or the issues you are addressing. Ultimately, personal health and well-being are your responsibility. I focus on creating safe spaces, coaching, energy medicine and/or intuitive bodywork sessions to assist you in clearing your negative patterns as quickly as possible, and then supporting you in following through with your strategic action plan or inspired action steps.
The Greek word, agápē (pronounced uh-GAH-pay), is a Greco-Christian term referring to unconditional love, the highest form of love or charity. Within a therapeutic context, agape is the intentional response to promote well-being when confronted by that which generates ill-being.
Have you ever been thinking about someone, and they then call you out of the blue? This is a common example showing how we're all energetically connected. During virtual sessions, I use intention for clearly tapping into a connection that's already present.
Some experts think the conscious mind only makes up about 0.1% of your intelligence. The other 99.9% is the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind archives everything we receive at conception from our lineages, as well as everything we experience from conception forward in life. It's like a binary computer and can be asked “yes” or “no” questions.
Muscle testing determines answers from the unconscious mind by the physical response to things that are true or false. To illustrate, telling a lie creates a weak muscle test, whereas speaking the truth creates a strong muscle test. It's really that simple.
Using a pendulum instead of muscle testing is something that’s easier on my hands. Specifically, I connect energetically to you and then ask the pendulum to swing in a direction that indicates a “yes” or the equivalent of a strong muscle test. Then I ask to be shown the swing direction that indicates the opposite.
Education and Training
I have an undergraduate degree in kinesiology and was a registered massage therapist from 1994 until 2018. In addition, my training includes-Practitioner training in the Emotion Code™, the Body Code™ System, Quantum Release, Root Cause, and Somatic Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Reiki 1 & 2; Facilitator training in PSYCH-K® (Basic, Master, and Advanced levels), plus a variety of other Energy Medicine modalities that use muscle testing; Student associate practitioner - Ortho-Bionomy Association of Canada (OBAC).
Coaching Overview
Coaching creates a repeatable, tangible, sustainable difference in the lives of people and it is NOT therapy. Therapy is necessary for individuals who cannot progress because of significant neglect, abuse, and/or trauma. Coaching focuses on moving from functional states towards optimal performance in any chosen area of life. Whether that is through Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), which is how our the brain works to create labels that either help us get the results we want or not; Root Cause Coaching (RCC) which is how our thoughts affect our emotion and our behaviors until we get down to the core thoughts, emotions, and behaviors; International Coaching Federation (ICF) which is the structured process of coaching by setting an agenda, asking empowering questions, listening, and having a structure of ethics; Somatic Coaching which is how to go inside the body and gain the wisdom stored inside the body; or Energy Medicine, which is working with energy and the unconscious mind in order to shift the repressed emotions embedded at a cellular and unconscious level.
My coaching philosophy is that you:
- Have the answers inside of yourself.
- Are the expert about your own life.
- Have the resources available or a creative way to get them.
- Are whole and complete.
Energy Medicine Overview
The physical body and the aura surrounding it is pure energy and, given the right conditions, has an incredible ability to heal itself. Negative energies can become stuck or trapped because of any sort of life experience. If they remain stuck, over time they can impair physical function and contribute to stress, trauma, sickness and even disease. In fact, most people live somewhere on a spectrum in this kind of state, suffering from it, but the good news is that this process is often reversible. Releasing energetic imbalances is a powerful way to restore health to the body, by simply making the conditions right for it to re-balance itself. I use Reiki, applied kinesiology with muscle testing and/or a pendulum.
Intuitive Bodywork Overview
My prior career as a massage therapist facilitated a great deal of training in a lot of bodywork modalities, which are used when muscle testing or a pendulum shows the modality is highly beneficial. The main modalities in which intuitive bodywork sessions are partly based upon includes Body Scan, Fascial Release, Swedish Massage, Ortho-Bionomy, Trigger Point Release and Visceral Manipulation.
The short answer is no, as I'm not a registered medical or mental health professional. The coaching, energy medicine and/or intuitive bodywork sessions provided are a co-creative experience where we tap into your body's inherent healing wisdom. If you are currently receiving therapy, we will need to have your mental health professional give you the green light to receive our coaching services.
Yes - I strongly encourage you to stay connected with all your traditional and alternative health practitioners when you're receiving any sort of sessions at Agape Therapeutic.
There is no diagnosing or prescribing with the services offered at Agape Therapeutic Health Services as I am not a registered medical or mental health professional. I do encourage you to remain connected with all your traditional and alternative health practitioners.
This will depend upon what shows up with muscle or pendulum testing. If your body wishes to receive Ortho-Bionomy them you're fully clothed. If your body wants visceral manipulation or a Swedish-style massage, then you're taking at least some of your clothes off. You are draped appropriately with a top sheet, and we work together to ensure your comfort.
