Jana Sullivan Founder of Light For Therapy
Magazine, The New York Times, on the CNN Health Report and have been sold world wide. “Since I had a lot of emotional pain and learning disabilities, I studied psychology in college. I found that when I connected deeply with my clients’ emotions, it accelerated their healing process,” said Sullivan. As a single parent with three young children, she moved her family out West and fulfilled a childhood dream of owning horses. When Casi, her 8 year old pregnant mare, had a twisted gut and eventually was euthanized, a light went on for Sullivan-driven by her compassion and distaste for pain-and she was motivated to develop an alternative healing method for animals. “Standing by helplessly and watching someone I love suffer and waste away was intolerable, and veterinarian care was hours and sometimes even days away,” Sullivan noted.
After years of research and engineering failures, she created a product using red, infrared and green LED’s that helped relieve pain from injuries and from such conditions as arthritis in horses. The products won the Equitana award for “Most Innovated New Health Product” in 1997. Soon the owners were using the units more on their own aches and pains than on their pets and horses. So in 1998 Sullivan sold her companies, Light Force Technologies, Light Force Therapy, and Light Force Canada to a group who obtained FDA approval for human use, and she once again devoted herself full time to her family.
However, the physical and emotional suffering which started with the 9/11 disaster convinced Sullivan that her creative talents once again were needed and she formed Concept & Design Enterprises with the help of her children. C & DE updated hundreds of studies and articles on light therapy, including NASA and the US Government’s use of the technology. Audio sound was added to the benefits of light therapy after her son attended the Clinic for Inner Change in Denver for an inherited neurological disorder, identified as incurable by a medical group. “The results were nothing short of a miracle,” Sullivan declared. Dr. Munson, MD and Director of the clinic, used sophisticated sound wave equipment to effect changes in the brain’s ability to expand its capabilities, especially in cases of head injuries, stroke and learning disabilities in children.
“I saw that there were many good people out there who had fallen between the cracks, like my son. And our country and government is based on the premise that no one should be left out. That left room for me to enter with the idea to market directly to the public, making this technology easy and inexpensive to use by anyone with inflammation or pain.” Double-blind tests for products to help alleviate bed sores and muscle atrophy as well as for depression and insomnia, based on Sullivan’s psychotherapeutic background, will soon be initiated. “Pain, whether physical or emotional, is universal. It respects no ethnic, religious, economic nor age group. And if my inventions can alleviate the suffering of one person, one child, one dog, one horse, so they can enjoy the short time they have left on earth, then I consider myself blessed..very blessed,” Sullivan said.
