George Hondruk was born to first generation Immigrants: His grandparents on his dad’s side were mixed European, and on his Mom’s side were from Ireland. His dad settled in New York City after the war and met mom there through a paternal relative. The Hondruks moved to New Jersey when George was seven; George is a product of a catholic family and the catholic schools, served in the Army during Vietnam, and married his first wife right after college, taking a position in transportation of people and freight with her dad’s company in Connecticut, where they subsequently had two delightful daughters.

After that marriage fell apart, George met whom was to be his second wife, a very spiritual part indigenous lady. His spiritual growth and journey began then, and they subsequently moved to Vermont, where he again worked in the people and freight-moving business, and then as a registrar and health worker at the regional hospital. He and Maya became Reiki and EFT Tapping practitioners. George’s oldest daughter moved up with him, subsequently became locked into substance misuse, and passed away 11 years later from ‘being addicted to addiction.
