The CCM story

When David Corby, co-founder of CCM, left a life of high finance to reconnect with the world around him, a yoga session at sunrise led to the dawn of an idea that would change things forever.

Originally working as a chief economist in the financial market, Corby’s life took an unexpected turn when his wife almost died following a serious illness. One day on his arrival at work he was struck by the thought that he was wasting his time — he wanted to do something different, something meaningful. On completing a short course in kinesiology and seeing the results kinesiology was having on his wife’s recovery, Corby realised he was hooked. During an early morning yoga session, he had a revelation. What he envisioned was a place that offered inspired learning, led by highly trained and well-respected mentors, dedicated to providing the right knowledge, practical experience and career development coaching to those wishing to pursue a career in complementary and transpersonal medicine. Together with founding partner Ondrej Bursik, the dream became a reality and the College of Complementary Medicine was born.

Twenty-one years later the college follows the same philosophy, offering heart-centred accredited vocational training for people looking to add purpose and meaning to their own lives and to the lives of others.
