Peter Hey

I was born in Medellin, Colombia, where I grew up and graduated as an Electronic Engineer. Once graduated, I went to Stanford, California, to do a Masters in Computer Design. After finishing my studies, I worked for 15 years as an engineer in Silicon Valley. I was part of two startups, which were successfully acquired by bigger telecommunications companies.

In spite of an earlier life full with awards and accomplishments, my inner life was so conflicted that, in the end, I quit my job, in spite of not having any ideas about my future. It was the beginning of a (long) sabbatical to explore the direction I wanted to take in my life. I sold my house and furnishings and donated "stuff" as much as I could. I bought a small van with a bed and kitchen and went traveling visiting the national parks in the US. I love nature. This started in year 2000 and ended up lasting around 10 years.

By 2009, I decided to study Hypnotherapy at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I got certified as a Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Interlife, Natal and Past Life Regression Therapy. I also got certified as a Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner.

In 2011, I moved to Mexico to be with my life partner who had a great job opportunity there. While living there, I got my certification as an EFT practitioner, through the AHEFT (Asociación Hispana de EFT).

Once we returned to the United States in 2015, I decided to write a book, expanding on the topics that I talk about in my workshops. That is how "Leading Mind" came to be. I live with my wife in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
