About Empress Bridge

College Location
We are enjoying our Empress Bridge location as there is free parking available and cosy classroom space. It is great to have natural light and to see the sunshine!    (Click on the red star on the map for a larger image.)

All courses are taught by Marilyn Buan who brings her extensive background in the field of kinesiology, metaphysics, massage and spiritual healing techniques to provide a thorough foundation for students taking training at her College. She has been in private practice since 1988 working with children, teens and adults of all ages to improve the quality of their lives.

Kinesiology Background:
Marilyn began her kinesiology training in 1987. In 1992 she became an instructor of Touch for Health and Educational Kinesiology. She then introduced both programs into Grant MacEwan and Metro Community Colleges and became an active instructor for these institutions for over eight years. Touch for Health is still being offered today as part of Grant MacEwan's Holistic Practitioner Program. Brain Gym is now known in the Edmonton area due, in part, to the numerous talks and workshops on the benefits of Brain Gym that Marilyn continues to give to government departments, private businesses and community centres in and around the Edmonton area. In 2001, Marilyn updated her training with Dr. Bruce Dewe, from New Zealand, the founder of the International College of Professional Kinesiology Practice. Her center became one of two accredited colleges in Canada offering career training in kinesiology.

Metaphysical Background:
Marilyn recently expanded her healing work to include her passion for metaphysical studies, which began when she discovered the power of numerology. In 1982 she began studying astrology which continues to this day. Her fascination for the tarot came later but resulted in her first class being taught in 1996. She now enjoys working with clients to help them understand the blueprint for their life using the skills she has developed in these areas.

Career Training:
Marilyn is currently offering both general interest classes as well as career training to students interested in studying either kinesiology, metaphysics or both. Her passion to share her ideas and knowledge with others reflect her deeply held belief in the power of the human spirit to move us through the challenges that face us both personally and globally.
