Dr Robin Kelly – Doctor, Author
Robin Kelly has, for 25 years, integrated Western, Eastern and modern mindbody concepts within his medical practice in Auckland, New Zealand. A past and current co-president of the Medical Acupuncture Society (NZ) and a founding trustee of New Zealand’s MindBody Trust, he studied Acupuncture and Chinese medicine in the 80s running teaching workshops for health professionals and doctors.
Since the 90’s his overriding interest has been in researching the roles consciousness and quantum theory play in the deep healing process. As a result, he has published two books released internationally, Healing Ways – A Doctor’s Guide to Healing (Penguin 2000), and The Human Antenna – Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Energy Psychology Press 2007.) He is currently writing his third book, due out in 2010.
The Human Antenna was recently awarded Science Book of the Year at the 2008 US National Best Books Awards.
Over the past few years, Robin has introduced Energy Psychology techniques, alongside medical acupuncture, to his practice, and he regards this as one vital step in helping people regain full ownership of their healing. He lectures and runs workshops on the deep healing process, and the compassionate approach to health, both within New Zealand and overseas. He has given many radio and TV interviews over the past few years.
Robin is also a passionate singer/songwriter with 4 CDs of original songs released over the past 12 years. He is married to Trish, a registered nurse and midwife, who helps run their home-based practice. They have three children – Sophie, Lucy and Toby.

Glenn Compain – Policeman, Author, Mentor
Glenn Compain is an Auckland frontline policeman working largely with troubled youth, and he′s seen things that would haunt your nightmares. Violent gangs, rampant drug and alcohol abuse, soul-destroying promiscuity, parents unwilling or unable to tackle the mess their kids are making of their young lives.
Glenn′s experience has taught him that every child is at risk at some stage during their formative years; that there are many influences in their lives that their parents can′t hope to control. His message is that it is the parents′ job to give their children the skills to make good decisions when the tough times come.
By sharing his own story and experiences from the frontline Glenn gives concerned parents the tools they need to spot the danger signs for their children themselves. While he doesn′t claim to have all the answers, his commonsense approach and experience with troubled youth make his insight and ideas valuable tools to empower parents. A book for parents, teachers and social workers, this streetwise, straight talking look at today′s world will have everyone talking.
Glenn Compain is of Maori, Samoan, African American and French ancestry. At 19 he led a team of voluntary aid workers to Uganda, where they worked with orphans and child soldiers during the civil war.
In 2004 he co-founded the Village Community Services Trust with ex All Black Michael Jones, which continues to deliver mentoring to over 500 young people at risk in schools across Auckland.
In 2005 he was approached to contribute to the Team Up campaign, a nationwide Ministry of Education campaign featuring Tana Umaga.
In 2006 he was commissioned by land Transport NZ to develop a resource to address the high level of road fatalities amongst Maori and PI youth. A compelling and charismatic speaker, Glenn Compain is a powerful new addition to the HarperCollins social and parenting list, and follows in the footsteps of Celia Lashlie and Nigel Latta.
