Washington, DC – Dr. Philip Cross is the founder of Kenyon Consulting LLC, where he provides economic and statistical consulting services to law firms, businesses, non-profits and government agencies.Dr. Cross specializes in econometrics, which combines statistical analysis with economic theory to draw inferences about economic outcomes. Dr. Cross has worked on a wide range of litigation matters both on the plaintiff side and the defense side. He says both sides are happy to retain him because they know he will deliver unbiased, scientifically-grounded economic and statistical analysis.Unlike the economists one might see on cable news, who are typically macroeconomists, Dr. Cross is a microeconomist; he doesn’t study the economics of large entities like countries, but rather the economics of small entities, like workers or customers or firms.In a wrongful termination lawsuit, for instance, Dr. Cross’s job is to calculate how the worker’s future wages are impacted by the alleged wrongful termination.Originally from Australia, Dr. Cross has spent 20 years as an economist in academia, government and consulting.Prior to launching Kenyon Consulting, Dr. Cross taught in the Economics Department at Georgetown University.“Some of the analysis that I do can be a little bit high tech, and one of the skills of being an expert witness is breaking down technical concepts in a way that a lay audience can understand,” says Dr. Cross. “So when I testify in front of a judge or a jury, I draw on my experience teaching college students, finding the right level of detail to explain what I'm saying in a way for to understand.”For more information, visit www.kenyon-consulting.com

Vancouver, BC – Jonalyn Greene is the founder of True Healing Potential, an alternative healthcare practice specializing in mind and body energy medicine.“To move past our issues, we need to process the stuck emotions that are embedded in the physical body. Emotions are really energy in motion,” says Jonalyn. “That's why mind body energy medicine has such a profound, lasting effect. It’s a whole energetic shift. And it just makes me feel so good to see my clients shed those layers of sadness or pain so their light can shine.”In her practice, Jonalyn uses two specific energy healing modalities: BodyIntuitive and BodyTalk. BodyTalk and BodyIntuitive explore the deeper layers of the imbalance causing symptoms or disease. These modalities help to uncover the story behind the symptoms.

We have to remove the cause to remove the symptoms.”Choku-Rei translates to “May the power of God be with you.”“We are here to learn to heal,” says Welsh. “We're here to learn how to share our gifts.”For more information, visit www.chokureicenter.com
