In 1991, Richard moved to CT where he co-founded Healing Gateways with Joan Clark where they offered bodywork, counseling, and designed and taught over 100 different workshops on Bodywork, Metaphysics, and Personal Relationships.
In 1997 Richard and Joan developed EMA Bodywork, which uses specific bodywork strokes, essential oils, and music to create a profound healing modality. Over the next decade they trained a wide variety of EMA practitioneers, who now practice around the country. In 2000 Joan passed away.

Sandra Porter R.A.
For over seven years I have been studying and using essential oils with family, friends, and clients. I have completed a Master Apprenticeship Certification course and passed the ARC National Registration exam. For about the same amount of time I have also been a student and practitioner of EMA Bodywork, a wonderful modality that includes the use of Essential Oils
I am currently studying the Diagnostic framework of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine. After more than 200 course hours I find that it helps me to organize the complexity of the inter-relationships of all things in such a way that the role of a specific Essential Oil or Oil blend becomes very clear. It is my intention to continue to explore the energetics of the essential oils and learn from my teachers who share their experience and knowledge with those of us who are interested in developing knowledge and skill in the use of Essential Oils in our daily lives.
