Dr. Dean Howell, ND, the Creator Of NeuroCranial Restructuring® (NCR®)

Dr. Dean Howell received his doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in 1982. His first degree was in mathematics, and he brought a mathematical perspective to medicine that created the quest for simplicity and empirical certainty in healing. Having taken very seriously the Hippocratic oath--which included the injunction to treat the cause rather than the symptoms of disease--Dr. Howell has striven to discover more and more precise methodologies that lead to permanent and cumulative beneficial results. NeuroCranial Restructuring® (NCR®), which Dr. Howell has been developing for over 18 years, is a powerful and dynamic new approach to physical medicine with broad application. Its effectiveness continues to increase as he incorporates more cutting edge energetic techniques into its operation.

Dr. Howell, the developer of NeuroCranial Restructuring®, is a licensed naturopathic physician. He lives in Western Washington  with his actor-writer wife, Trisha, his son, Derek, an aspiring actor, his son, Brandon, a future quarterback at Santa Monica Community College), and two dogs. His daughter, Selena, will graduate in Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in 2007. Her son, Xander, is an elementary student, and her daughter, Emlyn, was born November 2, 2005. His oldest son, Nathan, is a custom software designer for Microsoft. When he's not teaching or performing NCR® and developing it further, Dr. Howell bowls, plays golf, hikes, bicycles, watches movies, cooks, travels extensively and reads avidly.
