About Eileen

Eileen McKusick has been working with sound therapeutically since 1996, and is the originator of Sound Therapy Body Tuning and Sonic Facial Rejuvenation. A pioneer in the field of sound therapy research, Eileen has developed a number of techniques for treating pain and a wide variety of other imbalances with the penetrating tones produced by medical tuning forks.

In addition to her own 13 years of research and practice with tuning forks, Eileen has studied with noted sound expert Zacciah Blackburn and is a Certified Sound Healer through his Center of Light in Ascutney, Vermont. She is currently at work on a Masters Degree in Integrative Education.

In addition, she has trained and worked as a massage therapist and yoga instructor, and has been studying the healing arts in one form or another since 1987. She has also had a successful parallel career in business and was the visionary and founding partner of the Connecticut landmark restaurant, The Vanilla Bean Café.

Eileen teaches and lectures regularly on the use of sound in healing, and has made numerous presentations at Johnson State College here in Vermont. She has also appeared several times on the local cable show, "Connect with Amy Miller" and conducted interviews with Amy for her radio show as well.

Eileen’s unique sensitivity and ability to “understand the language of vibration” has allowed her to map the bodymind:

“If you think of the body and the energy field that surrounds it as the mind, then this process of sending sound waves, like sonar, into this environment, gives us the opportunity to explore and map the terrain.

I have discovered that the same states of mind—such as sorrow, anger, guilt, worry, and so on—seem to reside in the same places in each person. Just as neuroscience has mapped the brain, this process has revealed to me where in our body and its field different emotions, relationships and history reside.

It has been a fascinating process to see this universal pattern emerge.”
