LuAnn is a native Texan who began writing poetry as a child and later earned an MFA. She started her career teaching college students which led naturally into counseling. She worked with children 

at Bridges Treatment Center using poetry and rhythmic techniques, and with young adults at Randolph College.

Dark Night of the Soul 

and with those experiencing symptoms of earth changes.

LuAnn trained with Dolores Cannon in

Quantum Healing Hypnosis, using light trance to access a higher part of the self which possesses phenomenal wisdom and healing power. Clients record their own voice providing the answers they seek.

Neuro-integration, based on applied kinesiology, is a light touch method using hand patterns and motor response to bring correction to nerve transmissions between the brain and body. New neural pathways facilitate healing of both conscious and unconscious issues.

Mandala Art Therapy is based on Carl Jung's discovery that the unconscious speaks in symbols. The Great Wheel of the Mandala depicts twelve stages of the life journey, providing a wealth of information about one's shaping experiences and inner reources

S.U.M School 

A renowned master of Asian martial arts, Master Jesse Teasley has specialized in Tai Chi Chuan for forty years. Born and raised in New York, he has studied with some of the world’s  most famous Tai Chi masters in New York City China Town, Canada, Hong  Kong, Shanghai and at the Purple Cloud Temple in the Wu Dang Mountains,  the birth place of Tai Chi. He has received numerous gold medal awards  nationally and internationally and is one of the few Americans who has  been honored as a Grand Master in China. He has choreographed music  videos and stage productions as well. In 2004, he and his students from his New York school were invited to represent the US at the Cultural  Olympics in Korea. He now has schools in New York and Virginia and leads  classes, workshops and seminars worldwide. 

Our school is a traditional school. We call it “The S.U.M. School” to  call attention to the Supreme Ultimate Method that is the core of the  training. The Supreme Ultimate Method’s “Three Words of Salvation” are:   #1. Practice; #2. Practice; and #3. Practice.  Through practice we  discover secrets of individual and group success. Repeating drills over  and over again brings deeper engagement with the movements and the  timing.  With repetition the practitioner develops physical, mental and  spiritual awareness:  the practice becomes a moving meditation.
