Biography

Dr. Bulbrook’s career expansion covers over 52+ year’s primarily serving higher education in leadership positions in academia starting in community college education in nursing, then higher education at Texas Woman’s University to University of Utah. Then she was guided to move out of country to Memorial University of St. John’s Newfoundland, Canada, and from there to Edith Cohen University in Perth, Western Australia. On the side her role was a practitioner, educator, and researcher in a range of energy therapies starting with Therapeutic Touch, Healing Touch, Touch for Health, Transform Your Life through Energy Medicine (TYLEM) her own creation blending her profession as a psychiatric mental health clinical specialist with energy therapies. This expansive background of energy therapies was not only taught throughout USA and Canada but also taken to Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Peru where she worked with traditional healers while education professors, nurses, and other health care and lay people. Her journey served to capture the worldwide perspective on education, health and healing to address local, national and international ways to improve the human condition where she gained first hand perspectives on worldwide needs, values and challenges. The issues of “what if”, “why” and “how” dominated her search to understand the broader perspectives of world strategies, cultural norms, and expectation how to prepare individuals, families, and communities for being in the world, surviving and thriving. We are not alone and need each other standing as equals became her trademark and motto in search how to prepare educators in different cultures regarding the blending cultural needs with innovative strategies and techniques of national heroes of health and healing with native traditions. She stood alongside those she served as equals not as “I am better than” or “have all the answers” to a “we are one”, “united by our humanness as equals” “each with different perspective on the meaning of life”, living in this world in a cooperative way with a win-win perspective as her personal guiding light which serves as the philosophy in her new role leading Akamai University as their first woman president and innovator holding the light for the faculty and students to shine their light.
