His ongoing specialty and love is long-distance Attunement work.

She completed a five month certification class the following summer and then became an Advanced Practitioner in 2007. She is a cofounder of Seacoast Attunement Practitioners; a collective of five women who love finding alignment and sharing it with others.

She has a passion for raising chickens, gardening and being a student of Ashtanga yoga which she has practiced for 10 years. She is very appreciative of the beauty of Attunement.
![]() Judy Hunt Judy is a certified life coach and a graduate of the Institute for Professional Empowerment Coaching (iPEC). She and her husband, David, are both Advanced Attunement Practitioners. Together, they run the Northport Attunement Center at their home in Northport, NY where they offer individual Attunements, spiritual counseling and life coaching, group sessions, classes, and retreats. Judy began receiving Attunements in the spring of 1987. At the time, she was in a great deal of pain and unable to stand up straight as the result of a severe back injury. She experienced, first hand, the miraculous power of Attunement as her body healed, her heart came to rest in the current, and she began to live a life beyond healing. She is also a songwriter who, together with her music partner, David Washington, co-produced Starfire, a CD of their original songs.
