Biofield Tuning
We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.
Biofield Tuning
I started my journey with Biofield Tuning in 2014 after meeting the creator, Eileen Day McKusick, at a conference at the California Institute for Human Science. We were both presenting and were equally enthralled by each other’s presentation. We became fast friends and due to my vast experience in the medical/health and research field + my many years teaching alternative therapies + teaching energy healing classes already, Eileen personally asked me to become one of the first Biofield Tuning Teachers, and soon after I was promoted to the International Lead Teacher, Research Assistant and Nonprofit Outreach until 2021.
Biofield Tuning is a sound healing modality that helps to relieve mental, emotional and physical stress, it is a targeted therapeutic system that uses tuning forks to help restore balance via the nervous system.
Physical matter is music solidified ~ Pythagoras
We are electrical beings: the energy that powers our brain, heart, muscles, fascia, and bone is electricity. Anything that is electrical produces a magnetic field perpendicular to it, which is measurable and has been studied in detail by the HeartMath Institute; they have measured the field of the brain and heart up to several feet away from the body.
What this means is that anything that is alive (electrical) produces a magnetic field (or bio-field) around itself. Both are measurable and scientifically proven.
Tuning forks produce coherent waveforms which are able to locate dissonance in the bio-field around the body. The coherent waveform from the tuning fork will find dissonance in the field and then recalibrate that dissonance back into harmony.
Dr. Bruce Lipton and I in India - post BT session
What does this mean?
By slowly working through the field using physics (resonance to find and entrainment to harmonize) the body will come back to equilibrium and homeostasis and thus, health. An easy way to understand this is - if you have a guitar that is in tune and mine is out of tune, if you keep playing an ‘A’ I will listen to your ‘A’ (resonance) and eventually I can tune my guitar to match your ‘A’ (entrainment).
This physics-based medicine allows the body's nervous system to move away from the sympathetic fight or flight response and relax into a parasympathetic rest and digest response; this is where healing can occur most efficiently. What we have found through thousands and thousands of clients is that the dissonance the tuning forks can find in the field can be directly linked to memories and emotions.
Simply put, Biofield Tuning is a way to use sound medicinally.
In our view, the biofield is the blueprint that the body follows, this contradicts what we were taught when we were younger, but withhold disbelief for an moment - this is entirely possible since to this day science has been unable to locate where memories are stored in the brain. So what if?
Time and time again, we have found that circumstances in life cause an emotional response and these are recorded in the biofield - you can think of them as a disturbance in the force, these areas have mass and a different density from the air, and because of this the practitioner and the client can hear the change in tone, pitch, timber and sometimes even volume. This takes the subjectivity out of the session as you are an active participant.
I like to think of this process as you coming home to yourself: I wrote a blog called Returning your Sparkle, Your Childlike Essence that you can refer to for a greater description of this process.
It’s a pretty simple concept when you think about it.
Remember third grade science class when we were told everything in the universe vibrates? We do, tables do, the air around us does… By treating the body (a vibrating particle) for an illness, disease or other issue (a vibrational imbalance) with coherent vibration (harmony), the body is able to recalibrate itself.
What’s the coolest thing about this? A state change is noticeable to the client regardless if they are in-person or if the session is done over a distance.
I trained under the creator of Biofield Tuning herself, Eileen Day McKusick, who was not only my mentor but my very best friend. Under her guidance I became an Advanced Certified Practitioner and then she personally asked me to become one of her first Biofield Tuning Teachers due to my extensive background in energy healing, vast knowledge of the health/medical field, prior years of teaching alternative therapies to medical professionals, and teaching energy healing classes across the US.
Eileen and I have traveled all over the world teaching together and speaking at conferences including Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine (AIHM) several years in a row, The Science of Consciousness Conference in San Diego in 2017, The Science and Nonduality Conference (SANDS) in San Jose in 2019, the Sound Healing Conference in Malvern, England in 2019 and the Advanced Medicine Conference in South Dakota in 2021.
Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. ~ Plato
Because of my deep and insatiable love for travelling the world and visiting sacred spaces, I was able to expand Biofield Tuning globally and was promoted to the International Class Coordinator and Lead International Teacher. I was the Lead Team for Tuners without Borders, which was Biofield Tuning’s non-profit side to help those less fortunate. I have been on several missions to Jamaica and during Covid I began my virtual outreach to the Navajo Nation and Hopi Reservation to support them with Biofield Tuning during Covid-time. I have a recorded session available on my video page.

It was my greatest pleasure teaching alongside Eileen for many years and teaching Biofield Tuning around the world to hundreds of students. It was an honor expanding and growing Biofield Tuning to all corners of the world, and touching the lives of so many different people in so many different places.
In 2021 I started to focus on my Masterclass on Illumination: The Wildish Wolfish Way. I have tuned hundreds of people trying to get unstuck, find their path, heal and return to themselves. I have hosted events and performed remote sessions all over the world - literally - and now serve the San Francisco / Bay Area where I continue to tune and host large sound healing events.

I have known and been good friends with Jess since meeting her in 2014 at the Subtle Energy Conference in San Diego, and I have had the good fortune to travel, work and teach alongside her all around the world. Jess has a very comprehensive understanding of the biofield and of Biofield Tuning, and provides brilliant and insightful feedback as a practitioner. She has a vast background in performing and teaching about a variety of alternative therapies and healing modalities. I have given and received many tune ups with and from her and I would highly recommend Jess as a practitioner. ~ Eileen Day McKusick
I would love to tune you and bring you back into balance with yourself and your environment! Please let me know how I can support you on your healing journey <3

Subtle Energy Research at the California Institute for Human Science
Sometime in the year of 2013 I worked for a company called Psy-Tek Subtle Energy Laboratory in Encinitas, California that happened to be on the same campus of the California Institute for Human Science (CIHS). I was hired by Psy-Tek because I was a Certified Clinical Thermographer, and Certified Clinical Thermography Trainer, which I had been for years at the time working all over the United States offering safe health scans for women who preferred scans without the harmful affects of radiation.
While at Psy-Tek I became trained to research subtle energy using a variety of different subtle energy measuring devices from all over the world. We tested different products, services, modalities and even people - and their effects on their subjects. Different energy healers like Reiki practitioners, Pranic Healers, Theta healers and Biofield tuners would come in and want to know how effective their technique was. Sometimes we tested products like energy patches or Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency (PEMF) mats or other various things that had been ‘energetically-altered’ to give the wearer a boost in health so that they would feel more vibrant and lively. Sometimes people would just be curious if a new diet or supplement was working and ask us to do a case study for them. Chiropractors, Acupuncturists and other holistically-minded people would have their patients come in to do a ‘before’ and ‘after’ scan to see the reduction of inflammation or the alignment of chakras.
We used Thermography to assess inflammation; Thermography is really just medical-grade night vision and was given from the military to the medical field because they realized the medical capabilities to assess a person’s inflammation as it relates to their body. We know that inflammation is the beginning of any degenerative disease so this scan has huge indications as far as catching disease early. We used this scan for baseline ‘before’ images to assess if a specific product or modality was able to reduce inflammation.
We used a Russian device called the Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) and its successor called the Biowell and its attachment called the Sputnik. The GDV used Russian Technology called Kirlian Photography along with the Korean Su Jok Hand Acupuncture system. When these two technologies were united they were capable of measuring the health rays emitting from the fingertips, and then interpreting the health rays through the map provided through the Su Jok Hand Acupuncture system. The Sputnik is an attachment to the GDV and is able to map coherence in the environment and therefore assess if coherence is going up or down.

At CIHS they had a Faraday Cage and Biophoton Counter - the Faraday Cafe is a copper shielded room to protect from all microwaves in our environment (think: WiFi). We tested the efficacy of remote healing sessions whereas the practitioner would be in the Faraday Cage sending energy out to clients, and vice versa. The Faraday Cage combined with the Biophoton Counter was how we were able to measure and ‘count’ the number of Biophotons (light emitted by a biological organism) emitted by the practitioner or by the client. What I found most interesting about the Faraday Cage is when I went in it I felt like I was going to pass out (I was around 25 years old at the time) - but when older people (50+) went in it they felt a deep sense of calm. I note our ages because this finding feels important - older people had not grown up with the microwaves that surround us daily, and younger people have - to me it was almost as if the microwaves we are surrounded by are a part of us, so taking them away stripped me of something my body was used to receiving.
When I started my Masters degree in Consciousness at CIHS I started using the Infiniti Biofeedback Software to run experiments for my Master’s Program and did research on the healing modality called KALOS developed by Dr. Valerie Gersch. Kalos blends Chinese medicine, energy healing and applied kinesiology to find and address the root cause of imbalance or illness in the body.
Dr. Gaetan Chevaliar, Dr. Hope Umansky, me, Dr. Juan Acosta
Lastly at CIHS we used a device called the Apparatus for Meridian Identification (AMI) which was able to measure the efficacy and efficiency of energy healing on the body in real-time by assessing how the treatment was affecting the meridians.
Working as a Subtle Energy Researcher at Psy-Tek and CIHS was groundbreaking, heart opening and mind expanding. I was able to research many different modalities such as Reiki, Theta healers, Pranic Healers and Biofield Tuners. I was able to work alongside people curious about their health and wanting to measure the effects of their own personal research / treatments and changes in lifestyle. I helped people learn more about the inflammation in their body. I watched how some modalities were more effective than others and watched these results in real-time.
My background is in the medical field and then because of a sickness caused by the allopathic medical model I switched early on to the alternative / holistic side of medicine. My understanding of anatomy and physiology, combined with my knowledge of ancient traditions like TCM and Ayurveda, with the addition of my subtle energy research background make me extremely well-rounded as a healer which is why many people use my services and keep coming back!

Anechoic Chamber Experiments at Hathaway Research Laboratory
Eileen McKusick, myself & another colleague traveled to Hathaway Labs located in Toronto, Canada in May of 2019 in order to conduct some research in an anechoic chamber. An Anechoic chamber, simply put, means "anti-echo" or a room designed to completely absorb reflections of sound or electromagnetic waves. This room designed by George Hathaway was designed to also not allow EM (electromagnetic) waves from entering the chamber from the outside. The chamber is also grounded; meaning any excess electricity is safely directed to the ground outside.
We had planned to meet up with a Toronto-based recording studio but they no-called no-showed, so we made due with a zoom recorder, oscilliscope, spectral analyzer and good old-fashioned note taking. Despite the recording studio not showing up we were still able to make some incredible observations with the help of George Hathaway and his quick inventions he was able to create to support us in our research & observations (i.e. the boom).
We were observing what we noticed as the 1. Tuning Practitioner 2. the session Receiver and 3. the Witness. We had a copper grounding wire that we took turns grounding ourselves to see what we noticed. We also tried putting the tuning fork in a boom and moving the boom around (like an arm) to see the effect of human vs machine as Tuning fork operator.
The following observations were noticed:
- We loved the opportunity to freely create experiments in an anechoic chamber that was able to completely isolate the sounds from the tuning forks
- Grounding (at least) one of us during the session was necessary: the tone brightened immediatley with one of us being grounded. With no one being grounded we all felt clausterphobic and had difficulty breathing.
- The session went without issue when the Tuning Practitioner (TP) or Receiver (R) was grounded. This makes obvious sense to us and is why breathing and grounding is paramount in the beginning of one's session. Having only the Witness grounded still created feelings of unease in the TP & R.
- None of us felt well when the fork was in the boom; we experienced difficulty breathing, and felt dissassociated. However, the moment one of us touched the boom to complete the circuit we all noticed a huge improvement in our feelings sense.
- We noticed that when the fork was in the boom we were able to hear the fundamental tone but not many high/low tones. When it was in our hand we were able to differentiate the variation between the high/mid/ and low tones. This variation is important as the difference in tones allows us to discover patterns and "hear" emotions.
Next steps:
- We'd like to conduct further research in an Anechoic Chamber
- We want to do a Spectrograph analysis in real time
- We want our recording studio people to show up in order professionally record the sound :p
