Who Are We?

Tuning Fork Therapies Australia was founded by Toni Cross and her eldest son David in 2005. Over the years, they have helped many people through delivering workshops, writing books and offering personal or remote treatments and coachings.

Australia is my homeland and the country that I love. It was my dream and my privilege to bring the healing power of Tuning Fork Therapy to its shores. Thus, in 2005, I became the first pioneer of tuning fork therapy in this country.  

I am an accomplished Tuning Fork practitioner,  trainer, and author. Having been a teacher since I was 20 years old, has given me many years of hands-on experience, making me a very practice-oriented teacher.  The most important thing to me as an instructor is that by the end of a workshop, students can actually DO  what they came to learn. I believe that teaching is my particular gift to share with the world and my greatest joy is in helping others to access their individual healing pathway.   

My experience with tuning forks began in 2005 when I went to New Mexico USA to study and become the first Acutonics teacher in Australia. Thus, Tuning Fork Therapies Australia was born. Then in 2015 and 2016 I travelled to Vermont USA to study Biofield Tuning after reading ‘Tuning the Human Biofield’ by Eileen McKusick. I returned to Australia to become the first Biofield Tuning teacher in 2015, thus adding another branch to Tuning Forks Therapies Australia.

I am a very caring idealist with a desire for my students to reach their full potential.  As an acupuncturist I have dedicated my adult life to educating others in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Being a keen researcher with a special interest in everything philosophical, Western, Eastern, ancient or modern, I have authored multiple textbooks to support students. I was also commissioned by several publishing companies to write two technical Chinese Medicine textbooks.

Driven by my desire to quench the thirst of students who are searching to deepen their knowledge, I have created a series of webinars for groups such as Healthy Seminars, TCM Academy, eLotus, China Books, Singing Dragon and the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA).  

Over the years I presented at various international conferences in the USA, Germany, England, Austria, Poland, New Zealand and Australia as well as stand-alone seminars in the USA, Netherlands, Denmark, Ireland, England, New Zealand & Australia.
