FAQs

Healing from Adrian is relaxing and comfortable. He is very friendly and completely down to earth. All you have to do is sit back in a chair and let Adrian do all the work! Usually, he will sit behind you and gently put his hands on your shoulders or back to begin the healing process. You don't have to remove any clothes or be smothered in strange potions! Nothing is 'weird' or out of the ordinary. Adrian simply sends healing energy through his hands into your body. He doesn't even have to be touching the affected area for the healing to find the right place. You can bring friends and family members to your sessions if you wish, and you are free to chat the whole time. Adrian deliberately keeps his clinics informal and friendly so don't hesitate to ask him any questions you have regarding your condition or treatment, or any aspects of his healing in general. Just don't ask him about his cycle racing or you may not be able to shut him up again! For most people the healing will make you feel very relaxed and calm, it is an extremely soothing and comforting experience.

No. Absolutely no belief is necessary for healing to take place. This point cannot be emphasized enough. All that is needed is a desire to be well. There hasn't yet been a horse, a dog, or a baby that had any 'belief' in Adrian, yet the healing happens just the same. You do not need to have any 'faith' or come from any particular cultural or religious background. An aspirin will work whether you believe it or not, so will Adrian.

If you only believe in what can be proved then give healing a chance to prove it works. Adrian has treated thousands of sceptics, few were as sceptical as Adrian used to be. Doctors, consultants, nurses, vets and scientists have all come to Adrian for healing and all have been healed and cured. Adrian views his ability in as rational and scientific a manner as possible. He encourages others to do the same.

Yes, Adrian is a healer NOT a doctor. If you have health concerns you must speak to your medical practitioner. Many doctors come to seek healing from Adrian, but remember, healing is completely different to traditional medical treatment. It does not work in the same way. Adrian can not remove your appendix or re-set a broken bone! Healing works on an energetic level, it can be very powerful, but sometimes a prescription for antibiotics is all you need!

Healing is a natural ability. We all have the gift to a greater or lesser extent. It cannot conflict with any spiritual belief. Adrian treats people from all faiths including Christians, Pagans, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, atheists, sceptics and believers. Whatever your beliefs, you can still enjoy good health. The ability to heal transcends any doctrine or system of belief.

That's no problem at all. Nobody is ever turned away. Ever! Healing is for everyone. We all have a right to be well. Contact the clinics directly, or contact Adrian via email. Adrian is happy to treat people for free.

That's a tricky one. Some people are very quick, others take much longer. In general you will know you are improving from the first couple of healing sessions. That improvement will give you confidence to continue. A chronic condition of perhaps ten, twenty or thirty years is unlikely to vanish in a week, although that has been known. Speak to Adrian when you have treatment and he will have a better idea once he has been able to tune into your energy. People do heal overnight. They also heal over a few weeks or a few months. You must give your body a chance to rebuild. Create the right environment, and it will happen.

Usually, yes. Most people once they are cured never have that problem again. Some may need the occasional top-up to keep them well, but once Adrian is confident your condition is cured then you can also be confident that it's gone for good.

Adrian has a phenomenal success rate, for many conditions it's one hundred percent. This would include chronic migraines, gastric reflux, depression, and many more. Other conditions, such as bad backs, necks, hips etc, would have a success rate somewhere in the high nineties. Over the last fifteen years he has treated thousands of different complaints. Many were considered untreatable or incurable. The majority have responded extremely well to treatment. If you are in doubt, please contact Adrian and ask directly.

Yes, Adrian treats children and babies. Healing is soothing and relaxing and children quickly learn that a healing session is a nice experience and very different from a trip to the doctor's or hospital! Adrian has a gentle affinity with children and they will usually relax with him even when they are in pain or scared. Children respond extremely well to healing and often show remarkable speed in recovery.

Adrian has become world famous for working with cancer. Rightly, there are laws in place in many countries that prevent people from making claims regarding the cure of cancer. Adrian does not claim to heal cancer. However, he has had an enormously beneficial impact on many hundreds of cancer sufferers. The vast majority have passed Adrian's name onto others and his reputation has spread around the world. People will only recommend something if they are happy with it, so it is fair to say that he can provide a great deal of relief to those suffering from this condition. If there is any doubt, Adrian's cancer treatment can be provided for free.

Of course, that is no problem at all. Adrian is happy to work with people having conventional medical treatment. However, it can sometimes slow his work and chemotherapy certainly affects his sensitivity so that he may not be able to sense your energy as deeply as usual. But many hundreds of people have been successfully treated while also having medical treatment. Ultimately, medical treatment makes no difference to Adrian's work.

If you are unsure about, or want to change, your medical treatment, you need to speak to your doctor and to your family. Adrian cannot advise you on this. When asked, Adrian will always tell you to discuss your concerns with your doctor and then with your family. Its your choice and everyone must be in agreement with your choice. People often forget that they are in control of their treatment and have the final say. Its important to your wellbeing that everyone supports your decision. Recently, a patient chose to have palliative chemotherapy, but her family were against this due to their perception of the side effects. Adrian supported his patient in her choice, and persuaded her family to give her their full support too. Its a common situation where there may be disagreement within a family as to the course of treatment, but the person receiving the treatment should be the one who makes the choice. Adrian cannot and will not give advice on your medical treatment, but will support you completely in your choice.

To an extent, yes. But you mustn't overload your body. Treatment from Adrian can be very powerful and so you need to give your body a chance to heal. Too many treatments can confuse it's healing mechanism. Speak to Adrian directly about your circumstances. Adrian's treatment will in most cases override other treatments, this could mean you are wasting time and money in having them. Adrian usually considers that Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Herbalism and Chi Gong/Thai Chi seem to work best with healing.

Very important indeed. Adrian will always consider this aspect so that changes in your diet or nutrition can be integrated into your treatment if required. Healing will be much faster if the correct ingredients are in place in your body. Adrian can recommend many books and websites where you will find a massive amount of information regarding diet and nutrition. Adrian is a big believer in having a clean and healthy dietry regime, and is passionate about the value of fresh fruit and vegetables. He is also a great believer in the Bristol Cancer Centre diet, and can point you in the right direction if you are interested in integrating this into your treament. The Bristol Cancer Centre (Penny Brohn Cancer Care)is world famous and run by doctors. This diet has been tested over many years and proven to complement their other treatment strategies. Adrian tries his best to intergrate the highest nutrition standards into his own lifestyle, and is living proof that a vegan diet doesn't make you skinny and weak!.

The best way is to ring one of his clinics and speak to Julie or Sue. They can give you an appointment or put you on the waiting list. The waiting list depends on your age and your condition. People with cancer, and children will always get priority.

Adrian used to work over ninety hours a week travelling from one patient to another, but the hours of travel meant that he wasn't able to see all the people that needed him. He now works mainly from clinics in Herefordshire and Worcestershire in the UK, and from Madrid in Spain. He also frequently travels to other parts of Europe and America as needed. This means he can see more people and waste less time in travelling. The more people who receive healing the better. However, anything is possible. Please contact him directly via email. He will always do his very best. He will not charge you any extra if he needs to visit you.

He can. Adrian sends distance healing all over the world every day. In general this form of healing from Adrian is extremely effective. In some cases it is truly amazing. More can be read on the Distance Healing page. Obviously, there is no charge for absent healing although a donation to a charity of your choice is always a nice gesture.

This is one of the most common questions that is asked about Adrian. Adrian does do some interviews, but he is not hungry for publicity as many therapists unfortunately seem to be, so his interviews and articles are few and far between. In the past he has turned down requests from major newspapers such as the Times, and he has refused on several occasions to appear on national television to talk about his work. Several media groups have become aware over the years of many of Adrian's more famous clients, but all of his patients remain strictly anonymous whatever their background and under no circumstances are any details ever released to the press or anybody else. Adrian has always had a distaste for self-publicity - a reason why this website was so long in the making - and is very easily embarrassed when the spotlight of the media is turned upon him. But he has now come to realise that he also has a duty to let a wider audience know of his work so that people suffering an illness or injury are aware of the help they can receive from a healer. He still refuses to advertise and only agreed to the creation of this website on the condition that it remained a source of information and not a method of 'selling' a course of healing. A few articles and interviews that he has agreed to over the years can be found on the Media Page and doubtless there will be more interviews and articles in the future, but don't expect to see Adrian in the pages of Hello magazine any time soon!

So many people have asked this question! They will be pleased to know that Adrian has finally agreed to at least start thinking about his book. That's a big step forward. Adrian hasn't been able to take time out to write his book, valuable though it would be to clients, other healers and people interested in healing. It may require him being strapped into a desk and supervised for an hour every day, but we are confident some words can be forced out of him in the end!

Yes. Adrian runs a number of courses both for beginners and more advanced practitioners. No previous experience is needed and an average course is composed of professional healers, people who have never done healing, people who have recovered from an illness after healing, doctors and other health workers. In general all participants are able to heal to a good level after completing just a single day with Adrian. Adrian regularly runs workshops at the Benqi-Absa clinic in Madrid as well as courses in England. One professional healer who attended a workshop in 2008 commented that he had felt more in one day than in the previous four years of healing! For more information on courses and workshops, take a look at the Workshops page.

A-ha! That's the million dollar question. Details of the workshops and lectures at the Benqi Absa clinic in Madrid can be found on their website http://www.benqi-absa.com. For details of workshops in Britain and elsewhere, please send us an e-mail, and we will let you know when the next course is scheduled.

Of course. Anyone, no matter how sceptical, old, young, and whatever their belief system can heal. Healing is easy. It's like any talent. We can all ride a bicycle, but very few of us can win an Olympic gold, or the Tour de France. But with training, and dedication, and plenty of application, we can at least learn to ride that bike fast. It's the same with healing. Natural ability helps but application is just as important. A genuine desire to help, a lack of ego and an empathy for others are just as important as spiritual awareness and training, and you don't need a certificate on the wall to prove your ability! There are no certificates or awards from Adrian's courses. You will know you can heal at the end and you won't need a piece of paper to remind you. Adrian is only interested in teaching people who want to use their skills for the benefit of others. If gaining a 'qualification' is your only motivation, then there are numerous reiki and therapy courses available from other practitioners that would serve you better.

It's certainly very satisfying, that's for sure. Adrian says that being a part in someone's recovery is an amazing experience. Being told that someone's life has changed for the better makes all the effort worthwhile. But there is tremendous pressure too. Adrian is very often the last resort, and without him there is no hope. But Adrian needs to remain honest about his abilities. He never gives hope unless he truly believes there is a chance of recovery. If he agrees to treat anyone it's because he thinks healing is a very real possibility. He never turns anyone away, especially those people who can't afford normal healing and tries to fit in as many people a day as he can. Everyone is welcome. Occasionally, people bring strange ideas and agendas to the healing. People have become abusive when the cure wasn't instant. In some cases people were angry when it took more than a few minutes. Others have offered large sums of money to move to the top of the waiting list, or even used intimidation to force their way there! Despite this, the goodwill and kindness of so many thousands of people puts these rare examples into perspective. There will always be negative people but the world is a wonderful place and hope and positivity will always win in the end. Good actions create good effects. Bad actions create pain. Intention is what counts.

Yep! If you need healing then come along and see for yourself. People really do throw their sticks away and walk. He changes lives forever. The most remarkable healer of his generation? Yes, his patients certainly think so!
