In 1981 when Allan was a 23-​year-​old student studying psychology at York University in Toronto, his life changed the moment he was introduced to both Gurdjieffian Psychology and an advanced form of Gurdjieffian Mindfulness called Self-​Remembering by a psychology professor named Dr. Christopher Holmes. Allan was particularly intrigued by the fact that George Gurdjieff (1866? — 1949) was not only a master teacher who taught an ancient science of transformation, but was also known as an expert hypnotist and healer. Allan eventually ended up doing independent course work and his honour thesis with Dr. Holmes.

Allan eventually opened a natural health care centre in Ottawa in 1987 called Crystal Seas and two years later he became a Certified NLP Practitioner (Neuro-​Linguistic Programing) because NLP was largely modeled on the hypnotic techniques pioneered by psychiatrist and master hypnotist Milton Erickson. Allan then enrolled in a specialist course in Ericksonian Hypnosis.
