Dr. Mark

I'm a board certified Doctor of Chiropractic in my 17th year of practice, which has also included 10 years of field research on social brain development. In 1999 and 2000, I published peer-review research in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research and was awarded Researcher of the Year in 2000 for it. Since then, I have served as an Associate Editor for the journal and also sat on the Research Committee for the 2003 revisions of the Council of Chiropractic Practice Clinical Practice Guidelines. I've done consulting work for various human performance software companies and have been a post-graduate CE instructor since 2001.

In 1995, my son Kyle was born 8 weeks premature with congenital heart defects. His surgeries left him with a paralyzed vocal cord and many developmental delays. This propelled me to study brain development in general and social brain development in particular. My work traveled into the Special Needs community, where many of the Neuro-Linguistic Programming skills I was certified in back in 1995, soon after Kyle's birth, were honed. I was able to expand my network of progressive practitioners and scientists to the point where the World Chiropractic Association created a position for me called Director of Collaborative Education. In the early part of 2004, I co-created a program called Thresholds for chiropractic students and special needs instructors that was taught at Life University in Marietta, GA. I was able to develop a series of brain-based learning workshops since that time and have been able to deliver them through live demonstrations and teleclasses.

My focus now is in offering experiential workshops on Universal Somatics, which represents the culmination of my years of interdisciplinary study on the science and art of social neurobiology. I have recently created an LLC partnership to be able to deliver this material to the general public, students and practitioners over the internet and our new body language center in Larchmont, NY. In 2008, I'm intending to publish a book on this topic too. 

Professor Val

While working as a School Psychologist at a Residential Treatment Center, I designed and implemented a classroom program for children with Asperger’s Syndrome and related disorders.  Parts of the program have been published in several academic journals.

I am presently conducting research projects in the areas of Universal Somatics and human sexuality and writing a book on Dissociative Identity Disorder with a woman who has been diagnosed with DID.  Additionally,  I have been featured on WRKI FM in Brookfield, CT  and on News 12 Westchester with regard to my therapy services.  I have been published in a variety of academic journals including the New York Association of School Psychologists publication "School Psychologist" and "Advance for Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists".  I have been featured in the Journal News multiple times.  I have served as chairperson of several community-based organizations and was appointed as a member of the Adjunct Faculty Advisory Council at a local college.  

Dr. Jeb

I graduated from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic in Dec. 1991. I am originally from the San Francisco Bay area and attended The University of California at Davis before going to Chiropractic college.

While at chiropractic college I met Dr. Nora Rozell, the beautiful and talented love of my life. We were married just after graduation from Chiropractic School in Dec. 1991. We practiced in Sonoma County (wine country) until 1994, when in the span 6 months we were blessed with the first of 4 children, sold our practice, said “until we meet again” to our friends and family.

We packed up our 3 month old baby boy, two dogs, two cats, all our worldly possessions and made the transcontinental journey to Keene, NH. We have had 3 more children since then (and one on the way, due in Dec. 2005), making us the proud parents of 3 boys and a girl, none of whom*, have been vaccinated or ever been given a prescription drug including antibiotics (If that sounds interesting, I’d love to discuss it with you.).
