Gilbert’s initial career was 30 years service in the U.S. Army Infantry where he commanded several organizations numbering from 40 to 430 personnel.  Much of this career was spent in Latin America where he had the opportunity to work with many indigenous tribes and their medicine men.   In the latter part of his career, he experienced an accident that left him partially disabled and emotionally depressed. After several weeks of medical evaluations and treatments, he was discharged from the hospital on crutches.  Where the medical community was unable to heal him; it was through the intervention of several Reiki practitioners that he was able to truly heal.

Today, Gilbert is well know on the East Coast as a Holistic Heath Practitioner working with many several alternative modalities such as Reiki Jin Kei Do, the Trager® Approach, and Psycho-Therapeutic Reiki®.  It is through the integration of all of these techniques that he is best able to address the various physical issues and emotional challenges that clients and patients present.
