Biography
“Meadowsweet Photography”
Teara Ashby has deep educational roots in the fields of health care and sciences. She began by completing an Associate’s Degree in Applied Chemistry and Biology at Camosun College in Victoria, BC with a laboratory internship in Breast Cancer Research at the Royal Jubilee Hospital.
She then completed first aid training to become a paramedic, and eventually an assistant coroner in Victoria. After her reconnaissance in the real world, she returned to the University of Victoria to complete a Bachelor’s in Science with a double major in Biochemistry and Microbiology before heading to Toronto to earn a Doctorate in Chiropractic at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Still not satisfied, Teara completed her training at the Vancouver Campus of the Canadian School of Osteopathy, Manual Practice. Here she presented a thesis entitled The Quantum Body: A Qualitative Exploration of Sutherland’s Fluid Intelligence which was awarded the Andrew Taylor Still Award for Excellence. In addition to her extensive formal education, Teara mentored directly under Geneviève Forget, DO, Bernard Darraillans, DO(F), and René Briend, DO(F). She is the Assistant Instructor of the Human Cadaver Workshop through the Massage Therapy Institute in Davis, California, and runs two popular public workshops on understanding hormones and the internal visceral anatomy. Teara is currently writing a book on The Quantum Body, which amends our outdated understanding of the human body to incorporate new discoveries in water research as it relates to the fields of quantum physics, biology and chemistry.
