Greetings - Meet Dr Azra Bertrand…
Dr Azra Bertrand, MD is the founder of Biomancy University and Eco-Somatic Awakening, and an alchemical physician and wisdom author.
He graduated from Duke University School of Medicine, and has a degree in bio-chemistry. He has been a pioneering alchemical guide and healer for 25 years, working with over 35,000 people on spiritual, emotional and physical health – studying and living the quest to help people truly ‘come alive’.
His studies extended from family and relationship psychotherapy to neuroscience and clinical hypnosis – where he was personally trained in the power of the subconscious by Holly Forester-Miller PhD, who had major abdominal surgery under hypnosis without anesthetic. Dr Bertrand also studied hypnotherapy from childhood with his physician mother, who used hypnotherapy techniques for her patients having surgery.
He also spent two years engaged in primary research at the National Institute of Health Primate Center (NIH), observing primate behavior and its relation to the neuro-endocrine system, which gave him unique insights into the capacity to heal or pass forward emotional wounds, and the role of ecology and wildness in healing trauma.
After spending 7 years in formal medical training, he also underwent a 3-year apprenticeship with an alternative physician and author, who worked with the power of consciousness and dark field microscopy, a form of psychic-somatic blood divination. He ran an integrative healing pratice in California for a decade, which also included an apothecary, and worked with energy medicine, homeopathics and alchemical spagyrics.
In his quest to help restore vitality and radiance to people, Dr Bertrand studied in a lineage of spiritual somatic scientists. He immersed in studying Core Energetics for 4 years, including a 2-year teacher training course. This form of body-based psychotherapy was pioneered by Dr John Pierrakos, MD, a student of Wilhelm Reich MD, a peer of Carl Jung, and the pioneer of somatic therapy, which helps shift trauma and emotional blocks stored in the body, known as ‘body-armoring’, and transform psycho-somatic templates.
Biomancy & the entangled Eco-Somatic practice of Alchemical Eco-Embodiment is a holistic synthesis of Dr Bertrand’s education and lifelong studies in the ancient alchemical wisdom traditions, bioenergetic somatic healing and Earth Magic.
