Holistic Health Professional, Issi Gispan, Tells Us How Quantum University Played a Huge Part in his Success Story

Challenging Beginnings

After graduating from Quantum University in 2020, Issi was certified as a Holistic Health Practitioner by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. His journey could have gone in a completely different direction, though. Raised in Israel, Issi quickly made his way to the top of his class. Being labeled as a “gifted student,” he was selected to undergo “psycho technique tests” in Tel Aviv. Upon passing these tests, he was awarded scholarships to study for life. His father, however, had different plans. 

Instead of following his passion, Issi was diverted to a religious school. Because his family was very orthodox, the expectation was for him to study to become a teacher. Although Issi completed religious school through year 12, he knew that teaching was not his calling. Instead, he enlisted in the army for three years before coming to Australia. It was here that a transformational shift in his thinking occurred.

A New Worldview

A new life in Australia, paired with the life-changing experience of military service, provided Issi with an opportunity to reflect upon his Orthodox upbringing. He concluded that his previous understanding had been “narrow-minded,” so he immediately set his mind to the task of learning as much as possible. He became a frequent visitor to Sydney’s expansive Mitchell Library, where he researched and studied a range of topics to help him better understand the inner self as opposed to only what he had been “programmed” to know. Issi’s path to Quantum was emerging.

Deeply inspired by Zig Ziglar and Dr. Wayne Dyer in the late 70s, Issi recalls frequently attending seminars, often being the first in line. He accredits Ziglar and Dr. Dyer as being the mentor who truly changed his thinking process. It was during this time that Issi became aware of the subconscious mind and its importance in health and well-being. Upon Dr. Wayne Dyer’s death in August 2015, Issi made the decision to put on his mentor’s shoes and continue to spread his teachings. Finding the right university to complete his training, however, was a challenging task. 

Quantum Life

After searching for Australian schools offering Holistic Health Science programs, Issi continued to come up short. There were no institutions in alignment with his values, belief systems, and objectives. Finally, he came upon Quantum University. At last, a program that offered every course he wanted would lead him down the path to achieving his goals. He spent the next two years passionately chasing his dreams. Issi’s grueling schedule is proof positive that when a person really wants something, they’ll do whatever it takes. Issi attended Quantum classes day and night, working his job in the afternoons and often studying until 2 AM. Ultimately, he graduated with an average of 94.45% across all of his subjects and extreme gratitude for the wealth of “beautiful and insightful” curriculum at Quantum.

Rising Above

While Issi received his certification as a Holistic Health Practitioner upon graduation, he has still had to meet many challenges. Australia does not recognize holistic health as a modality. Even so, Issi swims against the tide daily, practicing all modalities and using his experience, case studies, and neurofeedback to provide a compelling argument to change the status quo within Australian healthcare. In order to build a loyal client base, Issi has paired his natural extroversion and passion for helping others. Although sometimes new patients are skeptical of a holistic approach to their health, Issi builds their trust by looking at each individual as an entire person, coaching them in wellness, and carefully monitoring their reactions, responses, and results. Sometimes this means offering 20-30% of clients pro-bono work as a means of developing relationships, helping those in need who can’t afford the price of healthcare, honing skills, and breaking down barriers.

Transformative Healthcare

Today, Issi is partnered with two chiropractors and a natural medicine expert to offer a holistic healing practice in Australia. He has been successful in transforming the way many people view overall health and well-being and has seen incredible results in providing neurofeedback to neurodivergent individuals, including children with autism and adults with ADHD. The feedback received after successful healing techniques have helped people in need is what fuels Issi. If he could offer any advice to those following a similar career path, Issi would remind students that “helping humanity is not all about money.” The true reward comes from offering transformative healthcare solutions that will change lives for the better. 

It is this deep passion for helping others that continues to drive Issi toward his dream of opening a comprehensive medical center that is open to holistic and functional medicine. Here, patients will receive stellar, holistic solutions that will allow for a greater quality of life while paired with medical doctors who can provide surgeries and other practices in the event of an emergency. He will not be satisfied until he has done his part to transform the way that Australia views and responds to holistic healthcare and until every person has learned about what is possible with this type of healing.

Continuing Footsteps 

Just as Issi has followed in the footsteps of Zig Ziglar and Dr. Wayne Dyer, we hope that current and future Quantum students will be inspired to follow Issi’s path. Regardless of major or focus area, Issi’s passion, drive, motivation, and strength serve as a template for success and changing the world for the better.
