Who is this guy George Dominguez?
I am a very happily married family man, with 2 children, 3 step-children, a son-in-law and a grand child (believe it or not!).
These are my wife and kids and
me, acting like the big kids we are at Hoosier National Forest on a
weekend camping trip early 2007.
This is my grandson, Parker. What a joy he can be!
We enjoy camping and hiking in the great outdoors, and spending quality time with our family and friends whenever possible.
On a more professional note...
I knew I had a gift of healing most of my life, yet I chose to develop my fighting skills early on (Yin/Yang balance you know). The field was young at the time so I chose to pursue more conventional occupations. In High School I was dual enrolled in College level Electronics Engineering and Microprocessor Technology, as well as programming classes. I figured that was the wave of the future and would enable me to easily find work and make good money. I worked my way up the ranks in a bank, from teller to Assistant Manager trainee, to Information Technology were I could use my education on hardware and software issues. I loved that career until the Savings and Loan crash, when we were all laid-off and our little bank was swallowed by Barnett Bank.
At the age of 21 I opened my first business, an electronics repair and installation shop called All About Electronics, in Miami Florida. My partner and I had a wonderful 2 years or so before Hurricane Andrew devastated the city and our little business. We chose to move north to Melbourne Florida and open the shop there, and six months later we folded and the only thing I had to show for it was a tan and some great body surfing stories. I tried securing work in the electronics or programming field but nothing panned out.
Over the next 5 years or so I married my first wife, had my first son, and tried my hand at various careers with varying degrees of success. I felt fundamentally empty, knowing I should be doing something else in my life and not admitting the fact that I should have been healing others. After burning out in the corporate world, and not knowing what else to do, the opportunity to study Natural Healing and get a Master's Degree fell in my lap. I finally acquiesced to my calling, asked God for help in making it happen, and embarked on a five year mission. In those five years I simultaneously went to Louisville School of Massage, completed my Master's in Natural Health with honors, attended Acupuncture school one weekend a month in Indianapolis, interned/apprencticed with a Naturopathic Doctor and Acupuncturist full time, completed my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, trained myself in Kahuna and Reiki energy healing systems, had my second son, and wound up divorced. Talk about a whirlwind!!! It all just happened almost on its own, and don't ask me how I had the energy for all that!
What really impressed upon me the true power of natural healing is the fact that I suffered from chronic pain for years. After the car accidents, fighting injuries, and general "I am invincible" stupidities I was a physical mess. My entire spine felt like it was on fire all the time, and my congenital scoliosis and degeneration made it worse. I was treated for 6 months while interning, I experienced what I was learning to do for others. After 6 months I awoke one day with absolutely no pain whatsoever. That was 7 years ago and other than minor discomfort from time to time, I am still free from pain and my scoliosis is gone!
After taking about a year to recover and get my head on straight again, I met my soon to be second wife and soul mate/best friend. We decided to move in together a few months before our wedding, and WHAM!, the office I was working in took a nose dive financially and I was laid off indeterminately in May. I have always had tough circumstances and decisions to make in my life, yet this one took the cake. How was I to interpret that? Had all that time and effort been for nothing, should I return to the corporate world, should I jump off a cliff, why had God forsaken me? I had no money, no clientele, a non-compete contract, and the knowledge that statistically speaking women have a much greater chance of making it in this field than men. My soon to be wife sat me down one day and said the words that energized my determination to make it no matter what! She told me I was one of the best at what I did, I had a gift from God and He would not let me down, I had the bedside manner and personality to make it, and this was the opportunity to go it alone and do it my way! So I put my nose to the grindstone and started working from home to build my practice. As a blessing and confirmation that I had made the right choice, I ended that year making a little more than I would have if I had not been laid-off. God is so good!
So here I am about 5 years later, older and wiser and more confident in my destiny. I have a beautiful office in the heart of Middletown, with a thriving practice and reputation. I am now a Licensed Massage Therapist and am working with my old mentor on licensing Naturopathy in this state. The future looks bright, and I look forward to working every day as I meet new people and help my patients regain their health and quality of life in an affordable way.
So there you have it, my life in a nutshell. Thank you for taking the time to read this and acquaint yourself with me, I hope you were entertained.
I was emailed a link to "The Optimist's Creed", and after reading it I pleadged to follow it too, as it so closely resonates with my general philosophy of life.

I am a 20 year veteran of the
Martial Arts, who learned to heal on the
"field of battle so to speak", since I learned Kung-Fu the real Chinese
way. I learned to first fix the damage I would later
learn to do, then I
learned to evade and block, then after a year of mastering that I
finally learned to throw my first punch! Five years
later I was an
accomplished Martial Artist Black Belt, and healer of sports
injuries.
I am very interested in, and love the artwork and history of, the three most amazing civilizations (in my opinion) in history. Ancient Egyptians, Polynesian Kahuna Healers and the Chinese were the most advanced as far as philosophy, technology and healing knowledge. Hence my Oriental decor, affinity for Hawaiian shirts, and choice of the Egyptian Ankh as my logo and business name. We have lost far more than we now know of the healing knowledge of these three civilizations.
What I do is not so much my job as it is who I really am, and I love every minute of it! I don't wear different hats at home and at work, there is only one hat I wear and that is the hat of...George Dominguez.
