HOW IT CAME ABOUT

While training for Advanced Kinesiology Diploma, Eoin and Monika worked together on case studies and research and while treating clients with chronic issues together in the same room, discovered techniques and methods to speed up both the effectiveness of the session as well as the healing process.

With two minds working on the same problem, they soon discovered ways to shortcut several parts of the sessions which was often necessary, as some of the clients had severe physical challenges – from being unable to move due to chronic pain through to brain injury survivors.

Many of the clients would not have been ‘treatable’ due to the severity of their conditions – that’s where the double practitioner sessions were born: out of necessity and a determination to give the clients the best possible chance of recovery despite major health challenges.

The results were very impressive, with more than 86% having more than 50% reduction in symptoms during or after the first session.

More than this, clients reported ease of comfort – as double practitioner sessions are much less tiring for the client due to the techniques used. They can lie down or sit passively for the majority of the session if needed.

Monika and Eoin found that for complex cases, having two minds working simultaneously on the same client was extremely beneficial and when the case studies and research project was concluded, decided to give thought to incorporating these methods into clinic.

In the same way that a second opinion is sought out and considered useful by doctors and consultants in complex cases, so too with holistic healing: having two qualified practitioners with different backgrounds and skillsets means twice the chance of getting to the root cause!

For clients who are impatient or don’t enjoy going for treatments, double practitioner sessions can be an advantage as it is possible to get double the amount done in the same time!

As clients can benefit from extra assistance as well as unique techniques, they often found lessened after-effects of sessions when double practitioner methods were used – as they were able to be more restful and passive while the practitioners did more of the work.

Founder & Practitioner, Eoin Duffy

Eoin is a qualified practitioner of Kinesiology, having completed his Professional Diploma from TASK Ireland. He also holds Diplomas in Cranial Therapy, Yoga teaching, and is currently studying Bsc in Osteopathic Medicine at the prestigious ICOM (Irish College of Osteopathic Medicine), adding to his personal and professional experience in natural health modalities gained over the last 15 years. 

Duffy Health was set up to provide the highest quality, solution focused holistic therapy drawing from a wide range of natural health approaches, carefully tailored to suit each client’s individual needs. The clinic benefits from a multi-practitioner approach where knowledge and skillset of practitioners are combined in finding solutions for clients.

Eoin's passion for discovering root causes to health issues rather than merely treating symptoms led to multiple courses and time spent abroad gaining experience in state of the art health resorts and clinics worldwide including Bali's famous 'The Legian'. He has been blessed to learn directly from luminaries such as Dr Ganesh Mohan (Medical Dr & Ayurvedic expert) and Ralph McCutcheon (Renowned Osteopath, Kinesiologist & healer) amongst others. He has taught yoga both abroad and in his native Ireland with specialist classes for conditions such as Autism and those recovering from chronic illness.

In Clinic, Eoin enjoys challenging and complex cases and his wide research interests include chronic pain, stress and anxiety, and autoimmune disorders. He collaborates closely with other practitioners (some of whom work in clinic) and if a client has an issue which is a better fit for therapy elsewhere, he has good contacts in the field of natural health for referral.

Eoin is Chairperson of PIPS Hope and Support Newry, where he has served on the Board of Directors for more than 5 years.
