Bob set about bringing together a team of specialised therapists with some of the highest qualifications and experience among them to help him establish new and exciting training academy.

Bob writes: I am a health practitioner with a Psychology degree and Nursing qualifications but I do not practice medicine and I am not a doctor. I do not heal, cure, treat or diagnose disease. Clients should always see their doctor and follow their advice.

My work is complementary to healthcare but is not a substitute for conventional medical treatment of any kind, but my work can/does support conventional medical treatment.

No promises or guarantees are given about the results of my work, my clients hold their own power for their wellness and my work supports their desire to be well.
