Dominick Hussey, B.Sc (Hons) Ost Med, D.O., N.D., I.C.A.K., N.A.E.T. · Affiliate Member of the Ontario Association of Osteopaths. . Registered Osteopath of the General Osteopathic Council (UK). . Member of the International College of Applied Kinesiologists. . Accredited NAET Practitioner. http://www.theallergyco.com/practitonersOttawa.php http://www.capitalosteopathy.com

Dominick began his working life as a Marketing Executive after graduating from Aston University in Birmingham, England with an honours degree in Managerial Studies.

After three years he decided working in the business world was not for him and set off on a 10 month trip backpacking around the world. On returning to England he looked into the idea of becoming a physiotherapist.

He was unable to get a place at a college but undeterred he looked into other therapies and eventually decided on Osteopathy. He was accepted on the 4 year degree course at the BCOM. In June 1997 he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Osteopathic medicine, a diploma of Osteopathy and a diploma of Naturopathy.

He began his Osteopathic working life working as an associate at the Aston Clinic in Surrey, England. It was here that he was first introduced to Applied Kinesiology or muscle testing diagnosis. Fascinated by AK he took a 100 hour AK Course run by the International College of Applied Kinesiology. With this new skill it gave him a deeper insight into his clients' symptoms.

For several years he developed and refined these skills including learning how to do allergy testing using AK. While looking for the cause of his osteopathic patients' symptoms he found more and more that they linked to food and environmental intolerances. By getting people to avoid certain foods and chemicals so there symptoms resolved. Later he found many emotional factors also played a strong role. To begin with he would use Bach Flower remedies to resolve these issues. Getting clients to avoid certain foods would resolve their symptoms but to eliminate large food groups such as grains or dairy is not easy.

Then in 2003 Dominick went to see a practitioner who did NAET, he too had a number of food intolerances. The practitioner used AK to identify his intolerances and then used an acupressure treatment to eliminate them. For Dominick NAET was a great success and meant he could go back to eating foods that had previously given him problems. He immediately realised that what could help him would also benefit his clients and so booked himself on the soonest NAET course. Not only did his osteopathic patients benefit but also clients with other allergy related problems such as Asthma, Eczema, and Hayfever, ME and so on.

One of his first patients was his girlfriend (and future wife) Sue who suffered with IBS. She was helped and impressed so much by NAET that she changed her career from a police officer to a brilliant and successful NAET practitioner.

From January 2009, Sue and Dominick are going to make the beautiful country of Canada their new home and are excited to be part of the Integral Health Clinics future.
