Jim graduated from the Physical Therapist Assistant program at NorthShore Community College in 1995, with an Associate degree in Science.He received his Physical Therapist Assistant license in 1996.

The PTA program at NSCC has a strong and in-depth focus towards understanding the multiple aspects of the human body in its muscoskeletal functions. Anatomy and physiology are the basis of all that we are and all that we do every day. Included in the curriculum is also an in-depth study of Neurology, Kinesiology ( motion ) as well as therapeutic exercises geared towards rehabilitation post injury or surgery.  Jim has found that, through working with hundreds of people, we are all in some way in need of physical re-tuning from time to time.

His subsequent work in physical therapy rekindled his interest in massage, energy work and holistic healing.

In September 1997, He achieved his certification as a REIKI I practitioner and began including it in his healing sessions. During that time Jim felt a stronger sense of and draw towards a deeper understanding of REIKI. In September of 1998 he achieved his REIKI II certification.
