Dr. Larry Trott

Dr. Larry Trott (right), He is affectionately known as “Doc Trott” – Since birth he has been successfully overcoming life threatening health challenges, always being conscious of his body, mind and spirit. He was born in September, 1953 in the islands of Bermuda with a rare heart condition known as Dextrocardia, which means his heart is on the right side. This was Doc Trott’s first major health obstacle. Throughout life he continued to face numerous challenges, inspiring him to pursue and study many diverse healing modalities from around the world. He now shares these healing practices today as Director of Sankofa: The Wellness Center in his native Bermuda, and while teaching during his travels.

Ironically, the name Doc Trott has been a family nickname for four generations, dating back to his great grandfather. However, this Doc Trott is the first to hold the title of Doctor of Metaphysical Studies, and to become a health care practitioner. He began his studies in martial arts, yoga, meditation and spiritual development in 1970. Since the early 1980’s, Doc Trott has taught thousands of people from all walks of life about wellness.

Doc Trott’s most radical, personal healing experience came in 1999, while he was touring with the Bermuda African Dance Company in Ghana, West Africa. It was on this trip, while expressing his long time passion as a drummer for the dance group, that Doc Trott contracted triple malaria and typhoid fever. Double malaria itself is often fatal, and malaria’s symptoms are typically recurring. Doc Trott completely recovered from these life threatening illnesses. Additionally, he suffers no resulting health issues since his full recovery, which he credits to his qigong practice, positive attitude, and healthy lifestyle. Doc Trott’s near death experience with Triple Malaria instilled even more passion about sharing the amazing benefits of natural healing. Ultimately, the message he received from his experience is that every person is 100% responsible for their own healing and well-being. In his ideal world, people choose their health care professionals and become empowered to pursue their own wellness.

Currently, he is in the process of filming an adventure, health & travel TV series called Escapes With Doc Trott. The series, which will be seen in late 2012 and beyond, captures exotic locations around the world and spotlights healing traditions of each native culture. He is a bestselling co-author of ‘Bouncing Back: Thriving in Changing Times’, producer of the DVD, Peaceful Wind Qigong,Vol I, and creator of the double audio CD set, My Health is My Wealth: How to Live a Happy, Healthy and Whole Life. Doc Trott received his doctorate in Metaphysical Studies at Delphi University. He has certifications in Transpersonal Psychology, Holistic Health, Qigong Healing; Tui-Na (Chinese Medical Massage); Korean Hand Acupuncture; Color and Sound Therapy, and other energy based therapies. He is a member of the Registry of International Spiritual Healers. Doc Trott is married to Dr. Karen Simons, his Sankofa co-director, and is the father of one grown daughter, Danilee, all of whom consider Bermuda home.
