He is an authority on nature-based communication and a global expert and teacher who holistically heals stressed trees, plants, and ecosystems with his own bioenergy-healing approach.

He also served as chairman of the Conservation Technology Information Center and worked with various agriculture-related groups, such as the United Soybean Board.

As founder and president of Plant Health Alternatives, LLC, Conroy has created a revolutionary alternative health care system for plants. To create Tree Whispering®, he combined modern plant science with advances in the new sciences (like quantum physics and holistic living systems) and the philosophy and practices from systems of ancient wisdom, to yield a totally new, leading edge approach to plant health that helps stressed trees and plants reverse their decline and grow healthy and vigorous. Conroy provides an on-site service that saves trees that others have given up on. The service re-establishes dynamic balance among the thousands of interacting and interdependent functions inside trees and other plants, working from the inside out.
