Epic Counselling & Consultations started in May 2018 offering Counselling, Numerology Readings, Proofreading and Document Drafting services. It sprang out of a need for Chase Neil to use his skills to sustain himself, having left the classroom due to illness.
Chase had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune disease that had him suffering from persistent bouts of diarrhoea, fever, joint pains, sore throat and mouth ulcers for days on end between 2015 to 2021, detrimentally affecting his teaching job. With meditations having very little effect, Chase made the decision to unburden the school administration, resigning in May 2018, and began to work from home, both tutoring English online and utilizing his proofreading skills, numerology and I Ching reading skills, and counselling skills he gained from doing Guidance Counselling as an Elective with his English Diploma at the Mico University College and from the BA in Guidance Counselling degree course that he had all but completed except for final examinations and Practicum at the International University of the Caribbean (IUC) - [Although he had to discontinue completing practicum due to his illness, he had gained counselling skills that could be offered on a freelance basis, referring cases of a too complex or sensitive nature] to offer a myriad of freelance services.
It was not until he discovered Acupressure and Reflexology later in around December 2018 via the book 'Acupressure and Reflexology for Dummies' that the services offered by Epic Counselling & Consultations became truly refined. Through applying the pressure point and reflex zone massage techniques employed in acupressure and reflexology, Chase was able to achieve a greater amount of relief and freedom than he had experienced through surgery and drug prescriptions, motivating him to offer these services along with those of proofreading and numerology & I Ching divination-and-counselling.
After completing a Diploma in Psychology in 2019 with XSIQ Ltd Australia via ALISON (Advance Learning Interactive Systems Online) and a Diploma in Acupressure & Reiki and a Diploma in Life Coaching in 2020 with New Skills Academy to hone his skills, Chase combined life coaching, astronumerology-I Ching counselling, acupressure, reflexology and Reiki to create Touch Therapy Life Coaching. After completing a Diploma in Medical Astrology in Herbalism, Chase added herbal medicine to his natural treatment repertoire of acupressure, reflexology and Reiki, and registered Epic Counselling & Consultations with the Companies Office of Jamaica as a business operating from his home office, offering the services of natural medicine consultations, Touch Therapy Life Coaching, numerology counselling, and document proofreading & editing.
With the subsequent adding to his knowledge and competency through continued practice, additional research and successful passing and qualifying for a Diploma in Herbalism, Natural Medicine & Anatomy, and a Bachelor in Metaphysical Science with Certification in Spiritual-Mind Treatment Practitioner in 2024, as well as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine Advanced Diploma in 2025, Chase has since focused more on Natural Medicine Consultation and Touch Therapy Life Coaching services.
