Since leaving Hong Kong at the age of 18, Alice Tobin has worked all over the United States, from New York to North Carolina. She has opened and operated six of her own businesses and traveled to seventeen different countries. In 2006, Alice sold her last business and began aiming for retirement. It didn’t last long. In 2007, Tobin’s curiosity and passion for learning pressed her to attend Donna Eden’s  presentation on energy medicine at the National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine conference being held on Hilton Head. Energy medicine is a practice utilizing simple exercises consisting of correct breathing and posture and a focused mind, coupled with a system of twisting, pinching, massaging or tapping on the skin over energy points, to reverse or balance out bad or unequal energies that can cause pain. Practitioners claim that energy medicine can be used for any physical, mental or emotional disturbances.
