About 15 years ago, after practicing kinesiology for 22 years and teaching qigong, he discovered a technique for treating depression he named Emotional Mindeze Therapy (EMT). Unlike many health workers, Richard has sufferered depression himself and understands what his clients are going through. After 5 years of seeing positive results on himself, Richard could not deny EMT's ability to help people and started to apply the technique professionally.

It has been successfuly improving the quality of life for many clients ever since Richard realises every person is different .He is passionate about reaching out to as many people as he can and works with his clients to develop an individual program that's right for them.
