Dr. Yardley is a national teacher, author, as well as a therapist. He has a doctorate in zoology with specialties in psychobiology (mind-body interconnection) and sexology (the study of human sexuality). He is EAGALA certified. His experience includes over twelve years of clinical counseling in both private practice and medical and university settings. He is also certified in advanced clinical hypnotherapy, energy release (breathwork) therapy, Morita therapy, and life coaching.
On a more personal note, he is father of three grown children and grandfather of four. His middle child, Chris, was a troubled teen and now is a successful adult and father. His two daughters and his eldest granddaughter are stories within themselves. The youngest daughter was a teen pregnancy at 14. Mom and Dad found themselves playing the role of continuing to be parents to the mother and both parents and grandparents to the granddaughter. Our children and grandchildren have been unbelievable gifts in our lives.
In addition to his book WindWalker: Journey into Science, Self, and Spirit, he has published over 75 articles, manuals, and papers in biology, sociology, spirituality, and counseling. Dr. Yardley is Professor Emeritus of Zoology of Clemson University with over 25 years of teaching and research in molecular biology and genetics, from which he draws heavily for his psychobiology specialty.
