Dominick began his working life as a Marketing Executive after graduating from Aston University in Birmingham, England with an honours degree in Managerial Studies.

After three years he decided working in the business world was not for him and set off on a 10 month trip backpacking around the world. On returning to England he looked into the idea of becoming a physiotherapist.

He was unable to get a place at a college but undeterred he looked into other therapies and eventually decided on Osteopathy. He was accepted on the 4 year degree course at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine. In June 1997 he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Osteopathic medicine, a diploma of Osteopathy and a diploma of Naturopathy.

He began his Osteopathic working life as an associate at the Aston Clinic in Surrey, England. It was here that he was first introduced to Applied Kinesiology or muscle testing diagnosis. Fascinated by AK he took a 100 hour AK Course run by the International College of Applied Kinesiology. With this new skill it gave him a deeper insight into his clients’ symptoms.

He has continued to develop and refine these skills including learning how to do allergy testing using AK. When looking for the cause of his osteopathic patients’ symptoms he found more and more that they linked to food and environmental intolerances. Getting clients to avoid certain foods would resolve their symptoms but to eliminate large food groups such as grains or dairy is not easy.

Later he found many emotional factors also played a strong role. To begin with he would use Bach Flower remedies to resolve these issues. Then in 2003 Dominick went to see a NAET practitioner and discovered that he too had a number of food intolerances. The practitioner used AK to identify his intolerances and then used an acupressure treatment to eliminate them.

For Dominick NAET was a great success and meant he could go back to eating foods that had previously given him problems. He immediately realised that what could help him would also benefit his clients and so booked himself on the next NAET course. Not only did his osteopathic patients benefit but also clients with other allergy related problems such as Asthma, Eczema, and Hayfever, ME and so on.

One of his first patients was his girlfriend (and future wife) Sue who suffered with IBS. She was helped and impressed so much by NAET that she changed her career from a police officer to a brilliant and successful NAET practitioner.

Sue was born and raised in the UK. Her father is an ENT surgeon and her mother is a physiotherapist, so she has been around medicine her entire life. After a 15-year career as a police officer in London, England, she found her own calling in medicine in the natural healing arts.

She had always had problems with food allergies, suffering from Irritable Bowel, sinusitis, lethargy and brain fog. For many years she had avoided certain foods, particularly yeast and milk, her worst allergens. She also had a severe allergy to coconut. She was introduced to NAET when her future husband Dominick started treatment for his own allergies and later completed the course to become a practitioner. Naturally he treated her for her allergies and she found that she was able to return to eating all of the foods that had previously been a problem, including the coconut.

First certified in Holistic Massage, Sue decided to study the use of this powerful new technique for treating allergies. She graduated as a NAET allergy therapist from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, UK and went on to work in several health clinics in England. She has worked with chiropractic and osteopathic practitioners, and in a conventional primary care medical setting. Her unusual skill with this powerful technique has allowed her to treat people of all ages. Like acupuncture, this tool can also help animals, and Sue has treated horses, for which she has had a lifelong passion, and other small animals.

Like many passionate learners, Sue has incorporated principals and techniques from other disciplines into her work. She has studied nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, bodywork systems, Bowen Therapy and mind-body techniques. After moving to Ottawa in early 2009, she continued as an allergy specialist in a multi-disciplinary clinic. She was invited to join the Seekers Centre in Ottawa in December 2010 based on her successes with their patient referrals.
