PKP Contributor Passes | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 12:06 PM, 9 August 2011 NZST last edited 11:29 AM, 18 August 2011 NZST | Arnetta Hildreth on a TFH trip to Russia, flanked by Irene Yaychuk-Arabei and Dr. Wayne Topping. We celebrate the life of Arnetta E. Hildreth of Fonda, USA who passed away Tuesday, July 26, 2011 in her 87th year.
Born in 1924, married in 1940, she did volunteer work and also worked as a nurse in military hospitals during her late husband Dean’s military career. Arnetta later received her GED and completed nurse’s training in 1966 and was one of the first US TFH instructors to take PKP in the mid 1980s.
Arnetta and her daughter Marcia (Marty) contributed to several finger modes that PKP Practitioners and ICPKP students use on a daily basis. One mode is El #3c which they reported "with animals has increased the litter size and viability by 10% with pigs and decreased veterinary bills by 50%." Dr Dewe well remembers 'testing' this mode for the first time at 2am one morning when a farmer neighbour could not get a vet to attend his sow with a new litter of 13 piglets. He said "they've got real problems - an infection probably mate - please come do your magic stuff." In spite of El #3 being performed by a sleepy, somewhat sceptical Dr Dewe and an incredulous farmer, almost all piglets survived.
Marty, Arnetta's daughter, is the artist who drew the first 100 or so finger modes for us. As an Instructor Arnetta taught lots of small TFH and PKP classes, bringing the power of Kinesiology to many people. After her classes, or sometimes when she had a 'breakthrough' with a client, Arnetta would send Bruce & Joan a postcard with the good news. Arnetta's memory and her contribution will be treasured always. | [ Back to Mainmenu ] |
