Dr Andy Yates

Dr Andy Yates was raised as a Roman Catholic in Stratford on Avon, England. He joined the Royal Air Force in 1975 for 21 years, as an engineer, teacher, and IT expert. Events conspired to make him begin to question his beliefs.

In 1982, his first daughter, Cassandra, started an internal process of self-evaluation. Cassandra was born with immature heart and lungs, and survived only 3 days.

Dr Yates and his first wife grew apart, in 1991, they both re-married. This was a happy time for him; his life was blessed by his second daughter, Maxine. She was a beautiful and happy child, but it was discovered she had a brain tumor. After surgeries, chemo, radiation, and spiritual therapies, Maxine died at 2 years and 7 months.

Dr Andy and his partner, Dr Heather, began a life quest for understanding. In 1996, he left the RAF and moved to the USA. He began a 14 year career in corporate IT, from a technician to a Senior Manager but his quest for knowledge gradually focused on the healing arts. He studied hypnotherapy in 1999, and followed that passion to a doctorate in 2005. He also studied Reiki, becoming a master and trainer.

In 2004, his stepdaughter Tanya was murdered, a tragedy made more traumatic by incompetent police work and cover-up. Dr Yates found great joy in playing didgeridoo, flute and hand drums with his partner the dancer, and his best friend Caroline, a wonderful person and musician. In a freak accident, Caroline died in 2005.

With music on the back burner, Dr Yates once more focused on the healing arts completing LMT training in 2006 to allow him and his partner to develop the fully holistic healing art, BioIntegration. He continued to expand his skill set with Cranio Sacral Unwinding and Neurolinguistic Programming.

Dr Yates has recently been to Peru to study sacred medicines and ceremonies, China to study Qi Gong, and Guatemala to study Mayan Shamanism. In 2010, Dr Yates left the corporate world to concentrate on writing, acting, and the healing arts.
