About Richard Flook

Richard heads up the international training of META-Medicine®. Since early childhood, after the divorce of his parents and subsequent death of his mother from metastasised breast cancer, he has felt a deep compulsion to find an answer as to why this disease struck down the most important person in his life.

After the divorce, Richard and his two brothers were cared for by their father in the family home some 400 miles (600km) away from where their mother lived. He was only twelve years old when he experienced the horror of losing his mother and even though at a distance, he lived through the trauma of her struggle, seeing her endure a mastectomy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, secondary tumours and then her eventual acceptance of death.

It was on the day she died that he made the decision to try to discover a better way to assist people to heal. He knew intuitively that there was a connection between his parent's divorce, the massive distance separating his mother from her three boys, and the breast cancer. He decided to study psychotherapy at university but instead, through challenging circumstances, he found himself working and then running the family wine and spirit business.

Although successful in business, the decision he made when he was twelve years old was still burning in the back of his mind. Some twelve years later on in life at the age of thirty, he was able to follow his dream and through the intensive study of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP - an advanced form of psychotherapy) while successfully running the family business, he eventually became a master and qualified trainer of NLP, hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy® (an incredible system that, at lighting speed, releases emotions and negative decisions).

It was at that time he came across the work of the doctor whose basic theories form the foundation of META-Medicine®. He wanted to learn more but at that time could not train or find other information regarding these theories because they were hidden and also only available in German. However, hungry to share what he knew about META-Medicine® and to impart the knowledge of how the mind and body work as one in creating and healing a disease, he approached some of the medical leaders in the field of cancer care. He was told by the medical fraternity that there was no mind-body connection and medical science would eventually find a cure for all diseases. The conclusion he was forced to make was to leave this field alone until such a time that the undeniable truth of a psychological link to disease was proven and the information he knew was out there could become more freely available.

Confused and disheartened by people who were later to become his peers, and because of his successful background in business, he became a trainer in NLP communication techniques in major blue chip organisations: J.P. Morgan, Chase Manhattan Bank, Samsung, Sony Eriksson were among his clients.

Richard met Johannes Fisslinger, the president of the International META-Medicine® Association at a chance meeting in 2004. Johannes, a native of Germany living in Los Angeles, California, wanted to spread word of the amazing discoveries of META-Medicine® and, with a skilled team of medical doctors and experts including Richard, they brought META-Medicine® out of secrecy and into the international arena by making the information more easily accessible. Richard brought to the association his skills in training and education and is an active, integral member of the IMMA board. Since that time Richard has been involved in developing META-Medicine® worldwide, including introducing this groundbreaking material to Australasia, Europe, Scandinavia, North America and now the Middle East.

Richard is a pioneer of accelerated and advanced learning techniques producing some of the best practitioners of any discipline he decides to teach. Not only is he one of the most skilled practitioners of META-Medicine® and NLP, getting incredible results with terminal cancer clients, he also works with everyday people, assisting them in transforming their lives at the deepest level. He is renowned for teaching these complex skills with ease to new practitioners and potential trainers, so that they too can get the same miraculous results he does. Richard is a native of the UK lives in Canada, near Toronto with his lovely wife Kristin and his newly born son Oliver.
