INSTITUTE DIRECTOR & FOUNDER
Manohar Croke, MA, CCP,
Diploma Esogetic Colorpuncture

Manohar Croke is the Director of the U.S. Esogetic Colorpuncture Institute and was formerly a founder and co-director of the Institute for Esogetic Colorpuncture, USA (started in 1992). Ms. Croke has a Diplomate level certification in Esogetic Holistic Medicine and trained with Esogetic Colorpuncture originator, Peter Mandel, starting in 1988. She continues to update her skills through the International Mandel Institute. Since 1992, she has taught hundreds of students throughout the United States. She has also authored and published numerous articles on both Esogetic Colorpuncture and Kirlian Energy Emission Analysis, as well as giving many presentations at holistic health conferences.
Ms. Croke has maintained her own private practice in Esogetic Colorpuncture and Kirlian Energy Emission Analysis for 19 years (see “private practice” for further information) She holds a Masters degree in Transpersonal Psychology and is currently completing her PhD in that field. She is trained in somatic methods of trauma therapy through the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute. She is also a Teacher-in-Training in the Diamondlogos system of spiritual therapy, with 19 years in-depth study of these teachings. She blends all these skills and knowledge in her healing work with private clients, as well as her students. Here is what students have to say about her work:
“Manohar’s teaching is organized and full of pertinent information, and she presents the material in a clear way, making sure that every person understands the concept/treatment. She has seemingly infinite patience and compassion, and she allows plenty of time for students to try out the treatments on each other. The last class I had from her was the best colorpuncture class ever!” – Peggy Bull, M.A., CCP
“As a teacher, Manohar is thorough, caring, and able to relate information in a way that is easily understood. She has both a breath and depth of knowledge that she draws upon in her teaching with each individual. I have come to value her wisdom and gentleness of spirit and share her enthusiasm for both teaching and learning of Esogetic Colorpuncture. Her passion is inspiring, and I would recommend anyone looking to gain knowledge in the field of colorpuncture to embrace her as their teacher” – Robert M. Greczanick, EAMP, CCP
