A pioneer in the human biofield and the fields of therapeutic sound and electric health, Eileen Day McKusick has been researching health since the mid-1980s and focusing on how sound impacts health since the mid-1990s. As the originator of a unique sound therapy method called biofield tuning, Ms. McKusick uses tuning forks to detect and correct distortions and static in the human biofield. Since 2015, she has excelled as the founder of the Biofield Tuning Institute, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that conducts grant-funded, peer-reviewed research on the human biofield and biofield tuning. It is also the home of Tuners Without Borders, which provides sound therapy tools and education to underprivileged communities. Likewise, Ms. McKusick is the president and chief executive officer of BioSona, LLC.
Since 1996, Ms. McKusick has conducted comprehensive research in vibrational medicine, sound, music, color, electric health and tuning forks, garnering her a profound reputation as a trailblazer in the field of sound research. Notably, she created the biofield anatomy map, an intricate anatomy and physiology map of the human body’s magnetic fields. Leveraging this creation, individuals can make targeted adjustments in the magnetic field to alleviate issues such as pain by harmonizing the flow of energy. In this regard, Ms. McKusick has published studies on biofield tuning as a potential treatment for anxiety and other mental and physical health problems.
As a result of her discoveries, Ms. McKusick frequently appears on podcasts to discuss her ventures, aiming to elevate her impact and reach a broader audience. As the human biofield industry and biofield tuning grows in popularity, Ms. McKusick is seeking opportunities to engage with more diverse audiences. Currently, she is involved in “Sing the Body Electric,” a practice she developed alongside two other professionals that compiles the 42 tones of sonic anatomy, reminiscent of sounds that reflect the natural vocal exploration of infants. Leading in-person and virtual workshops, Ms. McKusick teaches participants to engage in sound-based exploration that facilitates emotional and physical cleansing.
Ms. McKusick draws upon a bachelor’s degree in wellness and alternative medicine and a master’s degree in integrative education, both from Northern Vermont University. Her master’s thesis, “Exploring the Effects of Audible Sound on the Human Body and its Biofield,” published in 2012, garnered her the Academic Excellence Award. Most recently, she completed doctoral coursework in integrative health at the California Institute for Human Science.
In accounting for her success, Ms. McKusick credits her deep religious faith, having sought guidance through prayer and deriving a sense of purpose from her conversations with God. Looking toward the future, she aims to complete an extensive study involving 100 individuals who wish to benefit from five transformative biofield tuning sessions conducted over Zoom. In addition, she anticipates publishing another paper in a prominent medical journal.
