Bart Smyth is a Master Practitioner of 30 years in various Eastern and Indigenous philosophies, cultures and spirit ways as well as the popular Yuen Method.   He was solely responsible for bringing this entire body of work to Europe for Dr. Yuen, where Bart trained over 400 therapists.  He is also a Grand Master of Tai Chi and holds certificates in Thai and Hansa Shiatsu, Massage and Neuromuscular/Sports therapy.

After serious injuries from a car accident, Bart’s life shifted from owning a successful architectural design/contracting company in San Francisco to a global transformational teacher and healer.  As many healers have serious crisis situations in their lives, that is what happened for Bart and was the turning point for his life’s change.

In 1987, he began training with shamans in Central and North American traditions, as well in the Amazon.  After many extremely, intense years he was guided to study in Peru.  There he met Don Benjamin of the Shipibo tribe and was chosen to apprentice with him and finally initiated by Don as Medicine man in 1998.
