Biofield Tuning

What Biofield Tuning does

Biofield Tuning is a sound therapy company founded in 2010 (with founder Eileen Day McKusick's clinical research dating to 1996), headquartered in Colchester, Vermont. The company's core offering is a sound therapy method that uses precision-crafted tuning forks to interact with the human biofield, the body's electrical and magnetic system. The technology stack centers on proprietary tuning forks at specific frequencies—notably the Sonic Slider at 93.96 Hz (the 12th harmonic of the Schumann Resonance) and Fibonacci-based weighted forks—a patent-pending Circuit Boot accessory, and a proprietary Biofield Anatomy Map developed by the founder over 25+ years of observation. The company monetizes through multiple channels: a four-level practitioner certification training program (Foundations → Practitioner → Advanced → Mastering Artistry) offered in-person and virtually; direct e-commerce via the Biofield Tuning Store selling tuning forks, the Sonic Slider, accessories, and books; live and recorded audio/distance sessions delivered globally; and a specialized Biofield Sports Therapy program developed in partnership with GC Foster College of Physical Education and Sport in Jamaica.

The company serves three primary customer segments: individuals seeking alternative wellness and self-care (stress, anxiety, pain, sleep, athletic performance), health and wellness practitioners who integrate Biofield Tuning into their existing client practices, and aspiring sound-healing professionals seeking structured certification. A nonprofit affiliate, the Biofield Tuning Institute (BTI), conducts peer-reviewed, IRB-approved research in partnership with the Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI) and the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), including an Anxiety Feasibility Study and an ongoing 3-year controlled study. Distribution combines a global certified-practitioner directory (2,000+ students trained worldwide since 2010), e-commerce, audio/distance sessions, and a physical clinic in Burlington, Vermont. Biofield Tuning is founder-owned, operates without external institutional investment disclosed, and positions itself within the vibrational/alternative medicine category.

• Consciousness and Healing Initiative (CHI)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 December 2020BTI partnered with CHI (an organization with a team of established Biofield Science researchers) in December 2020 to conduct an Anxiety Feasibility Study. 15 volunteers with clinical anxiety received 3 distance Biofield Tuning sessions. The study yielded 2 peer-reviewed papers showing significant anxiety reduction in 13/15 completers. Building on this success, CHI and BTI are now undertaking a fully funded 3-year study with 60 volunteers and a control group. CHI also partnered with BTI on the 2017-2018 Inter-Rater Agreement study funded by the Forrest and Frances Lattner Foundation.
• Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerBTI is conducting a Bone Density Study in partnership with IONS. The study utilizes bone density scanning technology to test the efficiency of the Sonic Slider and the 21 Day Sonic Video Series in increasing bone density through regular use.
• GC Foster College of Physical Education and Sport (Jamaica)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerBTI partnered with GC Foster College in Spanish Town, Jamaica to create a pilot Biofield Sports Therapy (BST) program.
