Research interests
I have 30 years' experience as a registered Clinical and Health Psychologist and academic in the Queensland, Australia.

I have a particular interest in biochemistry changes after psychological interventions and have recently completed fMRI trials, cortisol studies and vagal tone measurement before and after energy psychology and meditation studies.
