Eileen Day McKusick is a pioneering figure in vibrational medicine and sound therapy. As the founder, chief executive officer, and president of the Biofield Tuning Institute and BioSona, LLC, she has dedicated nearly three decades to exploring the transformative power of sound on human health. Her groundbreaking work includes the creation of the Biofield Anatomy Map, which has revolutionized the understanding of how magnetic fields can influence energy flow within the body. This innovative approach has been instrumental in addressing issues such as pain and anxiety through targeted adjustments in the magnetic field.
Ms. McKusick’s academic background includes a master’s degree in integrative education and a bachelor’s degree in wellness and alternative medicine from Northern Vermont University. Ms. McKusick’s master’s thesis, “Exploring the Effects of Audible Sound on the Human Body and Its Biofield,” earned her an Academic Excellence Award and laid the groundwork for future research endeavors. She also pursued coursework towards a PhD in integrative health at the California Institute for Human Science. Her studies and practical experience have positioned her as a leading authority in biofield research, therapeutic sound, and electric health.
Entrepreneurial ventures and research milestones mark Ms. McKusick’s career journey. In addition to leading BioSona, LLC, and the Biofield Tuning Institute, she invented the Sonic Slider, a tool that further exemplifies her commitment to sound therapy. Since establishing the institute, she has overseen research initiatives focused on biofield tuning and its potential benefits, including studies on anxiety reduction. Her work as a researcher and practitioner of biofield tuning began as early as the 1990s, laying the foundation for her later achievements. Before these roles, she founded Mama’s Special Kettle Corn and The Vanilla Bean Café, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit from a young age. Additionally, she owned a massage therapy practice where she first explored the healing properties of sound and vibration.
Ms. McKusick has contributed extensively to the field through research, writing, and education. Her peer-reviewed studies focus on biofield tuning as a potential treatment for anxiety and other conditions. She recently completed a study involving 100 individuals who received biofield tuning sessions via remote technology, demonstrating the efficacy of sound-based interventions. Her latest paper has been published in complementary therapies and medicine, reinforcing the credibility of her work. Her discoveries regarding the anatomy and physiology of the human biofield have been foundational in vibrational medicine. Through her work with tuning forks, she has demonstrated how the biofield can adjust the flow of electric current in the body, influencing overall health. By harmonizing the body’s energetic patterns, Ms. McKusick’s techniques have helped individuals manage pain, stress, and emotional imbalances.
Ms. McKusick takes great pride in her publication, “Tuning the Human Biofield: Healing with Vibrational Sound Therapy,” which has received notable recognition, including the Silver Novelist Award and a Gold Cover Award. This book, based on her master’s thesis, has played a significant role in popularizing biofield tuning. In a marketplace with millions of books, those focused on the biofield have grown in number since the release of her work, reflecting a growing interest in the subject. Her second book, “Electric Body, Electric Health,” further explores the concepts of vibrational medicine and electric health, solidifying her influence in the field.
Beyond her academic and professional achievements, Ms. McKusick is actively engaged in community service and educational outreach. She is associated with Tuners Without Borders, an initiative providing sound therapy tools and education to underprivileged communities. Through this organization, she has worked in locations such as Jamaica, helping expand access to sound healing techniques. She frequently participates in podcasts to share her expertise with diverse audiences. She is involved in “Sing the Body Electric,” a unique practice developed with Isaac and Torrel from Australia that explores vocal tones resonating with specific body parts for emotional and physical cleansing. She helps participants discover their inner voices through these workshops, promoting personal liberation and self-discovery.
In her personal life, Ms. McKusick was born in Sharon and has been married to her husband, Frank, for nearly three decades. They have two sons, now in their twenties. Outside of her professional pursuits, she enjoys biking and motorcycling. Looking ahead, she aims to publish her current research paper in a prominent medical journal to elevate her impact in sound therapy. She remains committed to advancing the study and application of vibrational medicine while fostering a greater understanding of the profound effects of sound on human health and well-being.
