Being exposed to disease and suffering led Brendan to the practice of meditation to cultivate compassion. Over the next six years, he embodied the value of treating the whole individual and not just the disease. Then, a six-month journey through India opened his eyes and heart to the multitude of holistic healing modalities available around the world. It was also by virtue of other holistic healers that Brendan moved to Santa Monica to study Chinese Medicine at Emperor’s College.
Brendan’s passion extends to other healing modalities including Meditation, Yoga, Ayurvedic Medicine, Tibetan Medicine, Tui-na Massage, Homeopathics, Flower Essences, Aromatherapy, and Sound Therapy. Brendan lives in Santa Monica and enjoys traveling to India, Nepal, China, and Tibet and silent meditation retreats both in America and abroad.
