John Diamond, MD, (born 9 August 1934) graduated from Sydney Medical School in 1957 and was awarded his Diploma in Psychological Medicine in 1962. He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, a Foundation Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, American Holistic Medical Association, a Diplomat of the International College of Applied Kinesiology and is a Fellow and past-president of the International Academy of Preventive Medicine.[1] He is an Honorary Advisor to the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation and its Japanese sister organization, The Koushikai Foundation.[2]
Diamond is the founder of Life-Energy Analysis, a system based upon Applied Kinesiology (founded by George Goodheart).
| “ | His development of Life-Energy Analysis in the 1970s (originally called Behaviorial Kinesiology) and his discovery of the link between the meridians and the emotions, are just two examples of a remarkable body of work embracing a wide range of disciplines, the result of over forty years of research and clinical practice. ... Diamond was the first medical doctor trained in applied kinesiology to become a Diplomate of the International Board of Applied Kinesiology (1976) and he is the only doctor trained in applied kinesiology to have studied personally with Florence Kendall, publisher of Muscles-testing and Function that first inspired George Goodheart. | ” |

He is also the author of bestsellers Your Body Doesn't Lie (originally released as Behavioral Kinesiology), and Life Energy: Unlocking the Hidden Power of Your Emotions to Achieve Well-Being. His recent book Facets of a Diamond: Reflections of a Healer is endorsed by Bernie Siegel and Caroline Myss.
Diamond now practices as a Holistic Consultant in New York. He has founded The Institute for Music and Health and The Arts-Health Institute to train those interested in learning how to use the arts as a therapeutic modality.
The Institute for Music and Health (IMH), formerly CPD Music LLC, is a center based in New York’s Hudson Valley providing training and service in the area of "music for wellness".[4] The IMH is directed by Peter and Judith Muir, who disseminate the work of Diamond through a variety of programs for all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Their approach is called the Diamond Method for Music, which espouses an altruistic philosophy. They run community outreach programs involving interactive and intergenerational music-making — connecting mainstream and special needs children with seniors.
