Met Des when I went for a massage due to an incredibly painful shoulder and neck. He was professional and listened to my concerns. The massage was successful and enjoyable. He can safely do deep tissue massage. I hate working out in a gym, so we hired him to come to our house to do personal training for my daughter and I. He did genotyping to give us a guide of what to eat that is best for our own individual body and type, helping natural metabolism and energy. The workouts were great, he was really careful to watch form and was able to do simultaneous workouts that suited each one of us. He really turned things around for our 17 year old. She liked his humor and soft, easy-going manner. He was creative in the workouts and varied the exercises so that they his the same muscle groups without being repetitive, keeping it interesting. You never know what he will come up with. Des is also kind enough to be as flexible as possible to accommodate our schedule. (sorry des, that was a challenge you met superbly). We continue to have him train us and now my husband wants in just for having met him and getting to know his personality, he feels comfortable. (Big accomplishment!). In a nutshell, if you want one person to look out for your health, wellness and fitness, Des is entirely capable and enthusiastic, might I say over qualified for the shape we are in, but that is changing fast thanks to his efforts and patience. Ask him if you want to talk to me, I will be happy to tell you more.

I am thoroughly amazed at Desmond's knowledge of the body, its needs and his massage skills. His creativity in working with the body by designing a massage modality to free the body to do what it was created to do certainly makes Desmond the therapist I trust when I want results rather than a rub down with oil.

Des is an outstanding professional. I have received a massage from him as well as nutritional and fitness training. As a massage therapist, he was able to give me relief from my tightened muscles. As a nutrition consultant, he evaluated what diet would work best for my body after analyzing numerous data. He really helped me to improve my form for certain exercises to avoid injury. I had a history of injuring myself while exercising with free weights. Luckily, I have improved several aspects of my with Desmond's help!

Des is a great personal trainer and massage therapist. I met Des several years ago when I hired him for personal training. Within 6 months my body had evolved -- super toned and strong which were my goals. He also provided massage therapy which were very intense yet left me feeling relaxed and energized. Go see Des!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
ALWAYS! To be honest, I tend to go for CEU's that are above my particular certifications, as quite frequently, I feel there is no need to shortchange myself.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
LoL! I was fat, unhealthy, had allerigies, eczema, was miserable and hated cameras. I wanted to do something about it. Mostly, I wanted to be able to pet and play with animals without sneezing my ass off and having an asthma attack. Ohh yea and I wanted to be able to go up and down stairs without feeling like I just dragged a boulder uphill. And I thought it would be nice to appeal to the pretty ladies that I so desired. So, I went and did something about it. I educated myself to an extreme degree. Now, I have endurance to burn for hours and if I want more, I just make some slight adjustments to my diet. I have 14 cats and two dogs where I live and I play with 8 of the cats and the two dogs every day. My skin looks great and doesn't itch. And I have shared my time with some VERY beautiful women. Life has been significantly transformed.
