Dr. Simon Senzon
Simon Senzon received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Sherman College in 1999, and a Master’s degree in philosophy from Goddard College in 1994. He is the Director of the Subtle Energies Center and Co-Director of the Consciousness Studies Center, at Integral University. Dr. Senzon is certified in Network Spinal Analysis. He has applied his knowledge of the world’s wisdom traditions to his practice and to his understanding of the nature of consciousness. He has published several articles pointing out the need for an integral approach toward a philosophy of chiropractic and wellness as well as research on the effects of Network Care, infertility, health and physiologic development.
Simon is also the author of:

While an undergraduate in the history department of the State University of New York at Brockport, Simon completed several independent study courses simultaneously in his early attempts to develop an integral theory of history. His studies ranged from Hegel to Teilhard de Chardin to Bergson, Habermas, Toynbee, and Joseph Campbell. He completed his undergraduate degree in three years. His graduate studies at Goddard College culminated in a thesis focused on Plato, Kundalini, and the Body/Mind/Soul development. In order to ground his knowledge, Simon embarked on the study of science and his pursuit of a degree in chiropractic the same year that Wilber published Sex Ecology and Spirituality.
Informed by Wilber’s model, Simon spent the next five years immersed in his chiropractic education, while he also taught philosophy at the University of South Carolina at Union and Limestone College. He also worked tirelessly to contextualize and integrate an emerging philosophy of health and healing. During this time he served as research assistant to the President of Sherman College and upon graduation, was granted the first post-graduate research fellowship in philosophy.
During this time period, Wilber published Eye of Spirit and Marriage of Sense and Soul, which inspired Simon to start applying the Integral Theory to health, healing and human emergence. Chiropractic, he discovered, had been one of the first attempts in modernity to try and develop an integral profession, which ultimately was uninformed of the integral model and ended up flat in its overall approach to health, healing, and wellness.
Simon is intricately involved in the development of the first ever wellness discipline that is based on Integral Theory, subtle energy applications, and the integration of Body, Mind, and Spirit. This new discipline transcends and includes his previous training and demands a Second Tiered perspective on the development of consciousness, somatic awareness, and the organizing fields of subtle energy.
Simon is in private practice in Asheville, North Carolina, where he is also an adjunct faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Asheville in the Arts and Ideas Program. He has recently opened a Wellness Lifestyles Center where the vision is to create a community where Integral Transformative Practice evolves around his specialty of Network Spinal Analysis.
