                 Dan Geiger, 3825 Trailmaster, Billings, MT 59101, 406 861-5547.

I grew up in Bridger and moved to Billings for 8^th grade and freshman year at Billings Central. Sophomore year I decided to go to the Passionist Fathers Seminary in Missouri. Stayed two years, figured it was a good way to get a new Oldsmobile as that what a lot of the priests were driving.  In the meantime my parents moved to Great Falls where I finished my senior year at GFC. Although I was at GFC only one year made a lot of good friends and enjoyed the wild times of Great Falls in the 60’s.

Went to the College of Great Falls and moved back to Billings to get a counseling degree from Eastern in ’70.  Got married had two daughters, Marie 39 and Keri 37. Divorced and got remarried in ’95 to Diana. She has two kids, Lyon 41 and Sara 38 and between us we have five grandkids that are like magnets, a special time in our lives.

Had the bounty to care for my parents Frank and Anna, in their last days which allowed them to pass on at home with us. I learned a lot and grew from that experience.

Spent 25 years in counseling and then specialized in hypnotherapy in ‘98. I have been fortunate to be able to help others over the years. In ’98 Diana and I volunteered at the Baha’i World Center in Haifa, Israel for three years and loved it there and traveled every back road in Israel. In 2002-‘03 we traveled around the world stopping in four continents and 15 countries doing volunteer work for the Baha’i Faith. Here I did a lot of therapy for folks who didn't have any other resources. Always loved to travel and count about 40 some countries since high school. I like the back alley travel and usually stay with families. Sometimes I set up small clinics in a school and provide therapy for folks without resources and do the therapy with a translator. Yes, you can hypnotize someone with a translator. I treat folks who can’t find help through traditional western medicine, lots of neurological, PTSD, depression and most every physical aliment. If you’re really interested: Google; Dan Geiger hypnotherapy.

The past four years I have been spending a month in Mongolia and a month in China teaching hypnotherapy at clinics, universities etc and having a private practice. About 50% of my practice in now on Skype or phone with folks scattered all over the world.

Diana works with women on personal issues, service projects with the Baha’i Faith and enjoys doing interior decorating from hut to palace when we travel.

My last adventure was: Google, Peking to Paris Race. My next adventure is driving from Germany through Siberia to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia next spring about 7,500 bumpy miles and hopefully not too many mosquitoes.

I still work a day or so a week but spend my time on the ski slope, back packing, writing travel stories or just being a duffus. Built a new house a couple years ago and learned how to a climb ladder, wire, plumb etc. Will probably continue working part time until I’m 99 as it gives me an avenue to travel and provide service.
