About Dr. Rick Kirschner

Born September 27 in 1949, Rick Kirschner grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. A cartoonist and aspiring artist through his school years, he played guitar and sang in several local rock bands. Rick sold his paintings and other artwork to raise the money to go west in pursuit of a career in music. He found some success in music in Hollywood in 1968, but walked away from music as a career because "it wasn't fun anymore." Returning home, he raised horses in Kentucky and worked as a manager in his family's business, attended Northern Kentucky University (then a state college), earned his bachelor degree in Human Biology.

Then he went on to a four year naturopathic medical school, National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, graduating in 1981 as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (N.D.). While in med school, he was mentored by an area physician in therapeutic communication. In 1980, he and a friend designed and offered a training program to his fellow students called the "Magical Nature of Communication." Over the next few years, the training became very popular up and down the west coast with all kinds of groups, and served as the foundation of what was to become his speaking and training career. He graduated from National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon in 1981. That same year, he was a founding partner in R&R Productions, which offered and sponsored training programs in communication and healthy living. In private practice, he specialized in the treatment of stress related illness.
