UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS

January 25, 2010

We all search for answers to the questions: Who am I? What is my purpose in life?  I know I did and these questions drove me nuts for a good part of my life.  I was always searching for those ever elusive answers to nagging questions, ‘what am I here for?’ and ‘why me?’

I did not find the answer in religions of any kind, though some came close but there was always something missing. Always something that didn’t add up. Meditation helped settle my mind some but I was not able to make sense of what I was feeling and ‘seeing’.

I met Dr. Desmond three years ago and was treated for acute back aches.  During these sessions we talked about energy; how we perceived it, how the flow is part of our lives and how it guides our lives.  With a lot of skepticism I listened to him and over time I learned to ‘feel’ the energy and connect with it.  I still don’t know the answers but I have learned that the answers are ever changing and that in the end the answers do not matter.  It sounds rather simple when you read this, but to actually feel it and be totally okay with it was the challenge and sometimes still is.

As I went through the program, Evolve with Desera – The Practice of Conscious Living, I learned to notice me, myself, how I was thinking and how I reacted to the environment and to people around me and how it all made me feel.  I am now a much calmer person, much less prone to judge others.  I take life as is and enjoy what it has to offer without worrying about what will happen and without getting caught up in the drama of it or the drama created by others.  I do, by no means, consider myself a guru or like ‘grasshopper’ in the old Kung Fu TV series!!

I AM more at peace and ready to live the rest of my life to the fullest and I am ready to help others connect with themselves and find their answers within.  There is so much more I could write.  Maybe when I write my memoirs!

Last July, after years of reading all kinds of self-help books in quest of a better life, I found myself feeling very sad, lost and unhappy. I understood in my mind, the concepts of how to be living a life of happiness and fulfillment but I could not feel it.

It was then that I came across an ad in the newspaper for this program, “Evolve with Desera  – The Practice of Conscious Living”. It got my attention but I let time go by. The next month I was walking into my favorite store and saw Dr. Desmond’s card and I thought “I need to give this a try” and I did.

For the first time I followed my instincts and I made the call.  Now I can say it is the best thing I have ever done.

The program not only has changed my life for the better, but is giving me the tools to live life to the fullness.  I have just started the third phase of the program and already I am feeling strong, happy and motivated to continue being open to the happy life that all of us deserve.

Be brave and take the chance for yourself.

To those searching . . .

When I first came to see Dr. Desmond for acupuncture treatments I was troubled with physical ailments, stress and addictions.  Little did I know that I was to venture into a program call “Evolve with Desera – The Practice of Conscious Living”, which is healing on a much deeper level. 

It is difficult to describe in words how truly powerful and beneficial this program has been to my healing!  After just a few months I feel I'm on my way to a totally new way of living.  Today I feel so strong and balanced that I am able to deal with whatever comes my way in life!

If you (like me) are tired of all the other healing practices out there that promise to work - - but don’t - - I highly recommend this program.  Healing works on many different levels but one must be committed to doing the work for oneself. 

This program will take you on a journey of self realization, into pure energy and the results will truly manifest in your life like you’ve never experienced before!

To Whom It May Concern:

Dr. Sterling Desmond is a long standing professional in health care, counseling and personal coaching.  His determination, focus, mental clarity and personable nature make him a mentor, ally and friend to anyone seeking his professional help or his personal support and guidance.  He is the kind of man who 'finds a way to make it happen' for all those who entrust themselves to his care.  Having had the privilege of working with Dr. Desmond for several years, I have seen this first hand.

Dr. Desmond is well established in all aspects of acupuncture and Chinese medicine and has been for many years.  He also has extensive experience in qi gong, yoga, meditation (more than 30 years) and is more than qualified with his training and experience to teach in any of these areas.

I would heartily recommend any program taught, overseen or directed by Dr. Desmond. 'Evolve with Desera' is such a dynamic program.  Dr. Desmond's work in this area is not so much learning as it is about transformation of being! Many people talk about personal growth, the soul connection, and self actualization.  Dr. Sterling Desmond and Rea Ciera have encapsulated a program that will truly 'get you out of the box'.  Letting go of one's old non productive patterns in life, the Desera way of dying and being born into true being, enhances all aspects of one's life.

I strongly recommend Dr. Desmond, his teaching, his guidance and his medical expertise to anyone who wants to attain true wellness.  This is both the most practical aspects of health and wellness and also in the most profound aspect of 'pure being'.

To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Lavone Woodburn, I am 66 years old and I feel healthy and energized. I haven't felt this way since 1970 when I had severe medical problems and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

Since I suffered a severe episode of MS in April of 2008, my eyes sensed a continuous spinning motion, which gave me vertigo. Anything that approached me appeared to be about to run me down, even in my own home when my husband approached me. It was quite an overpowering feeling. I was very restricted in my movements. I could not garden, go shopping, drive, read nor even watch TV. I felt like my wings had been clipped and there was no light at the end of the tunnel!

I saw my neurologist immediately but I had to wait 9 months for my January 2009 MRI. This test confirmed that I'd had a progression of Multiple Sclerosis.

In February 2009 I started twice-weekly treatments with Dr Sterling Desmond who is a Traditional Chinese Doctor. After the first treatment I felt immensely better, the vertigo had stopped.

I kept my previously booked appointment with the neurologist a few days after my first acupuncture treatment. When I got there I was given a form asking what my three primary concerns were? I realized that I no longer had any concerns! The neurologist went through all the tests and she also realized that I was better, and said, "I'll see you in a year"!

After my third visit with Dr. Sterling Desmond I had an appointment to see my Ophthamoligist, she too was surprised, and asked me "who I'd been seeing?" I realized then that I was truly better, and that day got behind the wheel and was back driving!

Dr. Desmond and Rea Ciera offer a program called "Evolve with Desera - The Practice of Conscious Living". Over the last two months I completed all three parts of the program and in it I learned how to let go of the past. It is a truly an exceptional experience. Their program has opened the interior of my heart to the possibilities of attaining perfect health on all levels, physical, mental and spiritual. Not in some distant nebula future or through some external process, but by teaching me of its existence already within me. I truly feel an abundance of energy. I feel healthier, and at peace.

I feel that Dr. Desmond has given me my life back, with no restrictions! Thank you Dr. Desmond and Rea

To Whom it May Concern:

How do you say thank you to two people who have changed your life forever?

I was, for as long as my childhood memory serves me, raised by a cult. During that time I suffered many forms of abuse, sexual, mental, and physical. I was forced to attend six days a week. I felt at the age of five very much alone, afraid, and completely isolated from regular society. Although I attended school occasionally, I can never remember passing a single grade. I ran away when I was sixteen. I am now sixty-seven and have spent my life tied to mental health practitioners, taking copious amounts of drug therapy, and was committed to the mental health hospitals a total of three times. I also found myself suffering from severe anxiety attacks, nothing seemed to work. Personal relationships were difficult. Life was harsh.

In February of this year I found Dr. Desmond and Rea. I took Dr. Desmond's acupuncture and energy treatments, and in the space of two treatments found myself free of pain from long term hip and back problems. My hip had caused me a great deal of pain and I was waiting for surgery. I had difficulty walking. After a few more treatments to my total amazement I no longer was plagued by anxiety attacks. I had until this time spent my time hiding from my family and friends and felt it very difficult to leave my home for any reason.

Dr. Desmond then recommended his and Rea's program. This was definitely not going to be in my plans, anxiety….people, I thought there was no way. He arranged a very small group, three in total. He was not gentle in his persuasion, and you might say I went with fear and trepidation.

I completed all three parts of his program. I cannot tell you about the program because that would be up to him, I can however tell you that I for the first time in my life am truly happy and feel totally free of my past. I am visiting friends with such freedom....no anxiety.... just love in my heart. He has done with his program what thirty years of psycho-analysis and many different doctors have never been able to do.

Can I recommend his program... please contact me. I have a joy and freedom in my life that I never dreamed possible. I am forever grateful to Dr. Desmond and Rea for all they have done. How do you thank them?
