Dawson Church, PhD, is an award-winning author whose best-selling book, The Genie in Your Genes, hailed by reviewers as a breakthrough in our understanding of the link between emotions and genetics. He founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare to study and implement promising evidence-based psychological and medical techniques. His groundbreaking research has been published in prestigious scientific journals. He is the editor of Energy Psychology: Theory, Research, & Treatment, a peer-reviewed professional journal, a blogger for the Huffington Post, and a reviewer for the APA’s Mental Health Mobile Phone Application Review Database. He shares how to apply the breakthroughs of energy psychology to health and athletic performance through EFT Universe, one of the largest alternative medicine sites on the web.

In his undergraduate and graduate work at Baylor University, he became the first student to successfully graduate from the academically rigorous University Scholar’s program in 1979. He earned his doctorate in Integrative Healthcare at Holos University under the mentorship of neurosurgeon Norman Shealy, MD, PhD, founder of the American Holistic Medical Association. After an early career in book publishing as editor then president of Aslan Publishing, Church went on to receive a postgraduate PhD in Natural Medicine, as well as clinical certification in Energy Psychology. Church and Shealy coauthored a book called SoMul edicine, which surveys the role of consciousness in medicine from the earliest times to the modern day. In 2007 Church founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit institution dedicated to education and research into evidence-based healing modalities. He has worked with over a thousand pain clients, with average symptom reductions of 68% 16, and co-developed the Skinny Genes weight loss program. In 2008 the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare initiated the Veterans Stress Project, a clearinghouse to connect veterans suffering from PTSD with energy therapists. Several thousand veterans and family members have received counseling through the Veterans Stress Project, and Church has twice been asked to testify before US Congressional committees on his work. Church is the former president of The Family Connection, one of 53 nonprofits named as “Points of Light” by President Bill Clinton, and is also a member of the Transformational Leadership Council.
