Our faculty come from all over the world from many professions, including business executives, artists, medical doctors, psychotherapists, and other health-related professions. They are an incredible group of dedicated, highly skilled BBSH trained teachers and healers who lovingly serve in offering students and BBSH their experience, wisdom, guidance, and support.

The professional faculty members provide a uniquely powerful and safe environment in which healing can take place on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
