George first started exploring the healing arts as a child, studying with family trained in the herbal medicines of the Iroquois tradition. Later, he would further embrace his Mohawk roots by immersing himself in traditional Iroquois and Intertribal singing which he now uses as a healing tool. Coming form a family lineage of healers, he is following in the footsteps of his G-G-Great Grandmother Bridget O'Reilly who was one of the founding nurses of Calvary Hospital in NYC for Palliative Care of the sick and dying. After receiving a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences from Cornell University, George conducted herbal research in the Amazon Rainforest with the Ye'Kuana people under the mentorship of Eloy Rodriquez PhD. George has been involved in research of holistic modalities at Stonybrook's Complimentary Alternative Medicine Center and currently works at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the Integrative Medicine Service where he researches pain treatments. In addition to research, he also maintains a private practice for Energetic Healing in midtown Manhattan. More recently, he is completing a 3 year intensive certification in Energetic Healing and Psychic Development at the Fire and Wind Healing Institute: www.fireandwindhealing.com. This school was founded by Martha Piesco-Hoff and Lawrence Hoff. Martha completed the instructor training at the Barbara Ann Brennan healing school, served as Dean of the Snowlion Center in Provence France, and is a teacher at "Home of Angels" school in Finland. Lawrence has studied with such healers as Michael Harner and Sonny Richards of the Pine Ridge Reservation, as well as teaching Tai Chi Chuan and Gurdjieff work for more than 20 years. Since studying at the Fire and Wind Institute, George has found a way to integrate his past experiences into his current healing style.
