To Whom It May Concern:
In 1977, Des approached Scottish Nuclear
regarding the possibility of holding Shiatsu
clinics on site for our staff. It was decided
that we (Dr. Christopher Kalman and I) should
interview Des to gain a better understanding
of both himself and Shiatsu. We were impressed
by his professionalism and knowledge and
concluded that he should be given a period
of probation in which we could assess the
impact, if any, that Shiatsu would have on
the staff.
At the beginning, the Shiatsu clinics were
on a half-day basis. As Des became busier,
word of his clinics spread to our headquarters
at British Energy in Edinburgh and, due to
demand, Des started a clinic there. Now Des
holds two clinics per month here in East
Kilbride and is always fully booked, such
is the demand, with all levels of employees
using his services.
The feedback we have had has all been positive
and Des has successfully treated a broad
spectrum of complaints ranging from stress
to sports injuries. I personally believe
these sessions help alleviate pain and keep
employees at work as well as raising their
feeling of wellbeing.
I cannot recommend Des highly enough. In
fact, he has become such a part of British
Energy that he has even been issued with
a security pass.

Dear Des
I am writing
to let you know that at last week’s
staff meeting the team spoke of the lift
they get when you come to the office for
one of your therapeutic surgeries.
With the good vibes after the most recent
visit, I think even the new boys in the team
will soon be plucking up the courage to submit
themselves to your tender mercies.
Many thanks once again. These sessions are
doing wonders for our staff relations. As
they are only costing us the time and space,
they are great value too for the company.
Kindest Regards.
Yours sincerely
Don Spence
Managing Director, Spence Allan Associates.
