Robert Stevens, BA, ND, NTS (I-68)
Director of NMSNT and Instructor: Polarity Therapy, Reflexology, Philosophy of Natural Therapeutics, Steven’s Flower Remedies and Essential Oils, Colon Therapy, and Introductions to Radionics and Core Synchronism.
Before graduating from NMSNT in 1976, Robert had already trained in Hatha Yoga, Foot Reflexology, and western herbalism. After graduation he continued his studies in Natural Therapeutics by training in Polarity Therapy, Cranial-Sacral Therapy, Colon therapy, and nutrition. In 1981 he completed his Doctor of Naturopathy degree. Robert has given seminars and workshops on Cranial-Sacral and Polarity Therapy throughout the country and around the world. Since 1977 he has maintained a private practice in Albuquerque and has been an instructor and the director of our school. His work with clients has been a valuable continuing education tool, allowing him to develop a new modality, Core Synchronism, which combines elements of Polarity Therapy and cranial osteopathy.

Don Cornwell, Ph.D, DOM, NTS (I-19)
Director of Education and Instructor: Polarity Therapy, Body-Mind Counseling Skills, Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Cranial-Sacral Therapy.
Don graduated from NMSNT in 1979. His teaching and private practice demonstrate an integration of numerous energy therapies. He believes in having many skills with which to approach the needs of clients, and in combining those techniques in individual ways according to the clients' responses. Don's training reflects this diversified approach to therapy. He has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and a Doctorate in Oriental medicine. He is a registered Registered Polarity Practitioner and studied with Pierre Pannetier, the successor to Randolph Stone (the developer of Polarity Therapy). Don also received his certification as a medical Qi Gong instructor in 1998.
