Dr. Azra Bertrand is an award-winning author, physician, healer and mystic, and the founder of Biomancy University, a visionary new model of bio-magical education. He received his medical doctorate from Duke University, and also holds a degree in biochemistry. Dr. Bertrand conducted neuroendocrinology research at the National Institutes of Health in mother-child bonding and attachment, before completing his residency in family medicine through the University of California-San Francisco. Coming from a long line of healers, doctors and alchemists, Azra's desire to understand the energetic and emotional roots of health led him to train in Reichian bioenergetics with Dr. John Pierrakos, in the lineage of Freud and Jung. He integrated this understanding of soma and psyche into a 10-year practice of regenerative medicine in northern California.

In 2012, he left clinical practice to co-direct and apprentice in a feminine, Earth-centric mystery school, with his wife, Seren Bertrand, teaching thousands of people across the globe. During this time he received 6 international awards, including two Nautilus awards, for books on feminine-centered spirituality. His studies in magic led him to remote tribes in the rainforests of Indonesia, an apprenticeship with a Balinese Priest, education at a monastic university in India, pilgrimages to sacred sites across the world, and studies of magical practices in the Brythonic tradition. He is currently the director of Biomancy University, merging leading-edge science, somatics and mystery traditions, to awaken our bio-magic in connection with our living planet Gaia. miu Azra lives with his family in the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. www.azrabertrand.com
