"I worked with Des to get in touch with the feelings in my body, which I had been out of touch with for a long time. Des gave a great explanation to start with, which really helped to calm my fears. We then gently started to connect with sensations, but always in a safe way. He also taught me how to balance the exploration of uncomfortable feelings with moving to a safe, calm space when needed. With his help and support I was able to connect with my internal feelings and body sensations so much more than ever before and I felt more secure when attempting this. Des was so supportive and held the space so well that I never felt scared or overwhelmed. Learning this has helped me immensely in my own inner work and has given me so much more appreciation for the way my body carries stress and feelings. I highly recommend working with Des. He is gentle, but also brings knowledge, support and compassion to the work, which allows for a much deeper experience."

Working with Des has been really powerful. His caring process helped me to bypass my overthinking mind and drop into my body to allow the energy to shift. After my 2nd session with him, I really felt myself resisting the relationship I want. He encouraged me to stay with the feelings for the remainder of our session, and since then my communication with my partner has improved significantly. Some type of block that has been there for years, has really released. I'm so grateful for the session I've done with Des and would highly recommend!

I ‘m a woman in middle age who has had a long term skin complaint diagnosed as excema, and an underlying problem of anxiety and frequent low mood. Besides this some of the symptoms associated with the beginning of menopause are beginning to emerge. Over the years, I’ve tried several different ways to solve my health problems, gaining only partial and temporary success. In the past few months, I have been attending sessions with Des Richmond, after listening to a talk he gave in Galway. While initially skeptical, I have found the sessions very specific to the individual, yet broad enough in its’ holistic approach to cover what might normally be a confusing range of symptoms. This healing technique uses a gentle approach. Additionally, Des is a very perceptive and considerate therapist. The first difference in myself that I noticed was a lightened mood and more energy. After several sessions I definately feel happier, its become difficult to remain miserable and want to be active simultaneously! Furthermore, I have lost my craving to smoke and overeat, and am now exercising regularly. I’m pleased to say my weight has lowered, and strength and fitness levels have risen. For the first time in a long while, I am calmer and sleeping better. Also, the skin on my hands and face has improved. Importantly, I am interested in starting new projects again, rather than shutting down as I had been. Although my hesitance to try sessions with Des was due to concerns that my problems would be too difficult to deal with, I needn’t have worried, Des has a positive attitude, and helpful suggestions, contributing greatly to my healing- along with what I believe to be considerable patience!. My experience has shown me that sessions with Des were really effective in re-establishing balanced health. I would definitely encourage anyone seeking help with difficulties to contact Des Richmond.

Through Kinesiology treatments with Des, I was able to release emotions from loosing relatives from 30 years ago which has given me back my confidence big time. I also couldn’t walk fast at all and used to feel very tired very quickly abd my stamina was very poor. My energy levels are noe way better and my back pain is gone!

Des holds such a safe and caring space that deep emotional transformations are possible as well as physical ones. I would highly recommend Des for his work, and am extremely grateful to have found him. Some of the sessions that I have had with Des have been pivotal in my own healing journey.

Strong sudden sudden shocks/traumas can really put the body way out of sync! A recent experience where someone attempted to attack me on the way home from town one night had me feeling edgy, nervous and feeling on ‘high alert’.

Even having people walk behind me the following day had me feeling uneasy. I rang Des and asked if he could help. He was very kind to book me in at short notice. After one session I felt far better -the session greatly helped my body to process, integrate and let go of the incident enabling me to function in my new job. Otherwise, I would have needed to take time off and see a doctor.

The session worked in tandem with my body’s own wisdom (and was not imposed upon it like the western approach to healing). Des enabled my body to assimilate the core issues of the shock I had suffered, thus guiding my body to safely neutralise the experience. After the session my body tremors (from shock) stopped. Over the following three days my digestive system returned to normal and my clarity of thought returned. I’m very grateful to Des on a job well done!
