George Dominguez

What I do is not so much my job as it is who I really am, and I love every minute of it! I don't wear different hats at home and at work, there is only one hat I wear and that is the hat of...George Dominguez.

I am very interested in, and love the artwork and history of, the three most amazing civilizations (in my opinion) in history. Ancient Egyptians, Polynesian Kahuna Healers and the Chinese were the most advanced as far as philosophy, technology and healing knowledge. Hence my Oriental decor, affinity for Hawaiian shirts, and choice of the Egyptian Ankh as my logo and business name. We have lost far more than we now know of the healing knowledge of these three civilizations.

I knew I had a gift of healing most of my life, yet I chose to develop my fighting skills early on (Yin/Yang balance you know). I am a veteran of the Martial Arts since 1984, who learned to heal on the "field of battle so to speak", since I learned Kung Fu the real Chinese way. I learned to first fix the damage I would later learn to do, then I learned to evade and block, then after rna year of mastering that I finally learned to throw my first punch! Four years later I was an accomplished Kung Fu Black Belt, and healer of sports injuries.

Since the field of Natural Medicine was young at the time, I did not even think about considering it as a career. In High School I was dual enrolled in College level Electronics Engineering and Microprocessor Technology, as well as programming classes. I figured that was the wave of the future and would enable me to easily find work and make good money. I worked my way up the ranks in a bank, from teller to Assistant Manager trainee, to Information Technology were I could use my education on hardware and software issues. I loved that career until the Savings and Loan crash, when we were all laid-off and our little bank was swallowed by Barnett Bank.

At the age of 21 I opened my first business, an electronics repair and installation shop called All About Electronics, in Miami Florida. My partner and I had a wonderful 2 years or so before Hurricane Andrew devastated the city and our little business. We chose to move north to Melbou e Florida and open the shop there, and six months later we folded and the only thing I had to show for it was a tan and some great body surfing and shark near-miss stories. I tried securing work in the electronics or programming field but nothing panned out.

Over the next 5 years or so I married my first wife, had my first son, and tried my hand at various careers with varying degrees of success. I felt fundamentally empty, knowing I should be doing something else in my life and not admitting the fact that I should have been healing others. After burning out in the corporate world, and not knowing what else to do, the opportunity to study Natural Healing and get a Master's Degree literally fell in my lap. I finally acquiesced to my calling, asked God for help in making it happen, and embarked on a five year mission starting September 1998.

In order to learn everything I felt I needed to be the best healer I could possibly be, I have:

Attended classes at Louisville School of Massage.

Completed my Master's in Natural Health with honors through Clayton College of Natural Health.

Attended Acupuncture school at the International Academy of Medical Acupuncture one weekend a month in Indianapolis.

Interned/apprenticed with a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist full time for 2½ years..

Completed my Doctorate Degree in Naturopathic Medicine through Trinity College of Naturopathic Medicine.

Trained myself in Kahuna and Reiki energy healing systems

It all just happened almost on its own, and don't ask me how I had the energy for all that and a second son with a subsequent divorce!

What really impressed upon me the true power of natural healing is the fact that I suffered from chronic pain for years. After the car accidents, fighting injuries, and general "I am invincible" stupidities I was a physical mess. My entire spine felt like it was on fire all the time, and my congenital scoliosis and degeneration made it worse. I was treated for 6 months while interning; I experienced what I was learning to do for others. After 6 months I awoke one day with absolutely no pain whatsoever. That was in 2001 and other than minor discomfort from time to time, I am still free from pain and my scoliosis is gone!

After taking about a year to recover and get my head on straight again, I met my soon to be second wife and soul mate/best friend. We decided to move in together a few months before our wedding, and WHAM!, the office I was working in took a nose dive financially and I was laid off indeterminately in May of 2003. I have always had tough circumstances and decisions to make in my life, yet this one took the cake. I had no money, no clientele, a non-compete contract, and the knowledge that statistically speaking women have a much greater chance of making it in this field than men.

My soon to be wife sat me down one day and said the words that energized my determination to make it no matter what! She told me I was one of the best at what I did, I had a gift from God and He would not let me down. I had the bedside manner and personality to make it, and this was the opportunity to go it alone and do it my way! So I put my nose to the grindstone and started working from home to build my practice. As a blessing and confirmation that I had made the right choice, I ended that year making a little more tha I would have if I had not been laid-off. God is so good!
