On the 4th of November 2004, I was at work in a shopping centre in Sydney, when I had a strange turn.  For the next six months, I was continually upset, crying constantly, with strong pains in my head and chest.  After this time the symptoms eased, although I still cried daily.  I was able to drive again (between bouts of depression/anxiety) and I gradually began to work one day a fortnight or so.     I remained in this state with no further improvements until my first visit with Guy on 13^th of July 2006.  Since this initial session, I have not cried, nor been worried.  I have been more relaxed and less vague.  I feel like a normal person again and my outlook on life has been totally transformed. Guy found that I had unresolved stress from the death of my mother that occurred in my early childhood.  Using kinesiology, he helped me to release this stress.  I’d recommend Guy’s work to anyone.  I have cut down my anti-depressant medication (Edronex) by half and have noticed no problems at all.

Prior to meeting Guy, I had a long history of suffering from depression; from my early teenage years until now (early twenties), I' d suffered from numerous painful periods of this illness. I had seen a number of specialists over the years: GP's psychologists, and psychiatrists, usually in addition to being concurrently "dosed up" on antidepressant medication.

During what felt like the darkest downward spiral I had ever been on and feeling very close to giving up, I was referred to Guy by a friend. I can truly say that after three or four sessions I was feeling fantastic! I got off the medication and was able to get on with life! And I was able to be happy.

From the bottom of my heart, I am so grateful to have come across Guy and kinesiology. Guy has proven himself to be a highly proficient, compassionate and "on to it" health care professional and mentor. I have found kinesiology to be a phenomenal science, truly able to give startling results for an extraordinary range of malaises, quickly and safely. It is my pleasure to recommend Guy and his practice to anyone.

I experienced depression and anxiety throughout the previous ten years, since the age of 14. Sometimes I would simply feel negative towards life, while other times I would be contemplating suicide as a possible ‘solution’ to my problems. I also suffered bouts of mild to severe panic attacks during this time.

I had a relatively normal childhood, so there did not seem to be any major problems to account for my tendency towards depression. The first feelings of depression that I remember began after my Mum stopped me from seeing my boyfriend.

I always felt it more natural to look at the negative aspects of a situation, rather than the positive. I often felt that there was something intrinsically wrong with me, something that I could never fix, and hence I was doomed to live an unhappy live, always expecting the worst. Eventually, the feelings of depression began to feel like a part of my personality, and I felt that changing or trying to get rid of such feelings would mean losing a part of myself.

Looking back, it seems that unhealthy things felt more ‘right’ to me than healthy things. I did try to feel better, by using diets, exercise, iridology, naturopathy, etc. However, I never seemed able to maintain any changes for long.

I experienced my worst case of depression between the ages of 20 and 22. After the breakdown of two relationships, I entered a period of self-loathing. I had trouble at university, quit my casual job and shut myself off from the world including my friends and family. I constantly thought about suicide and performed acts of self-harm, including cutting my wrists with razors and scissors.

Then, when I was 23, my Mum died all of a sudden and a few months afterwards I started to experience disturbing obsessive thoughts, which had been another feature of my depression-anxiety. I decided that I didn’t want to feel this way anymore, so I visited a GP who placed me on anti-depressants and advised that I had the type of depression which is hereditary, and that I would need to stay on the medication for at least a year to avoid relapse.

Initially I thought that the medication was helping, but after a while I did not want to be on it any longer. It did not stop my obsessive thoughts and it seemed to cover my problems up, rather than help me to deal with them. I could act happier and more outgoing, but I felt numb on the inside.

I had heard of kinesiology before, so decided to give it a go. After only two sessions with Guy, I was able to stop taking the anti-depressants. The kinesiology sessions have helped me to become more self-aware. They have been able to show me that my depression was acting as a familiar but repressive layer, stopping me from progressing with my life and working towards any goals. The more kinesiology sessions that I have, the more I feel my energy system becoming healthy, meaning that I now crave ‘healthy’ foods, thoughts and emotions, instead of negative, unhealthy ones. I am now working towards filling my life with positive thoughts and actions, to replace the negativity.

After a particularly severe depressive episode during mid 2002 I was prescribed a course of SSRI's . The results were quite effective and within a couple of weeks the symptoms had disappeared. I kept taking anti depressants until mid 2004 when I decided I felt fine and would be able to manage with out them. I cut the dose I was taking buy one half , several things then began to happen I experienced dizzy spells , mood swings , irritability and a sense of removal from reality . I put this down to withdrawal but after about a week I went back on the drug. I tried again a few weeks later but this on top of the previous reactions I began to experience stomach pains, bloating, constipation, a feeling of something being stuck in my throat. The local GP told me I was not yet ready to come off the drug and I should keep taking it, adding that "some people need to continue for the rest of their life”.

I went to see Guy, mainly about the stomach complaints which at the time I saw as a separate issue. He told me it was all interrelated and that he could help me to be SSRI free. Over the next eight months I had six sessions with Guy. Using Kinesiology he helped me to deal with the problems that were causing the depression in the first place and also to test for the appropriate dose to come off on. A few weeks after the forth session my stomach problems reached a crisis point and I decided to look else where for help, I cancelled further appointments with Guy . Guy called me up and encouraged me to stick with the Kinesiology as this was all just a part of the process. I did and after the fifth session I was able to come off the anti depressants completely. This time there was only minimal dizziness which only lasted for a few days. My stomach is still a little sensitive but generally feels 99% better than it was. The emotional baggage that caused the depression in the first place seems to have been dealt with. I no longer feel hopelessly depressed nor do I feel like I am artificially happy, just a sense of being back in touch with the world and my emotions.
