Amaru Ra is a doctor of energy medicine. He got started in the healing arts early when, as a teenager, he learned breathing techniques to heal himself of asthma. He played division college football before serving 6 years in the army including 3 combat tours. Of course these and other experiences came with a lot of injury and trauma both in his body and in mind. After the army he became a registered nurse, but as he learned more about disease, health, and the human body and worked on his own healing, he began to realize the limitations modern western medicine has in creating real, sustainable health. He began to further my studies and deepen my practice to better support patients in their healing process. His work now includes Reiki, several forms of massage, chiropractic, breathwork, biohacking, naturopathy, somatic healing, and reflexology.
