Word of mouth recommendations are usually the best source of information. I am 64 and had a hard-working life as a mechanic and had back problems since I was 24. It’s now June 2024 and if someone had told me last Xmas that I would be walking tall and able to do normal things again, l would have laughed at them. By normal I mean get dressed without using a pair of BBQ tongs, drive a car without pain, put a pair of socks on, or be able the bend far enough to tie shoelaces.
Time and patience with Eric, via twice weekly sessions over 2 months, has given me my mobility back. 6 weeks on my back at Xmas, was not pleasant, sleeping in any position was difficult, not eating right because I couldn’t stand long enough to prepare anything good.
I’m glad I took the time to come down from Qld to get treatment from Eric. He told me recently that even he was pleased with my outcome as I was a troublesome case.
Nothing happened overnight. Days after each treatment there was a minor improvement. The first couple of sessions were tough, I couldn’t figure out how to get off Eric’s table, walking was a bit difficult and I thought why am I putting myself through this? Now after a maintenance session I have no problem getting off the table and I don’t need to sit down before I leave.
Trust me, if you want instant gratification take a pill. If you want a long term solution listen & learn for Eric. You’ll be glad you took a recommendation from me, just like I am grateful to my sister for recommending Eric. I’ve been told twice now I needed an operation to fix my back. That’s never going to happen while I can be healed using natural methods like those from Eric at BUDDHA’S TOUCH HEALING.
Sincerely
Brendan
When I first met Eric, I had severe and chronic depression. I spent a lot of my time lost in this fog that made life feel hopeless and frightening. Since taking the Tibetan herbs given to me by Eric, I’ve felt an increasing sense of calm. Sometimes I can feel a wave of healing washing over my body. He reminded to push myself; and although it was difficult at first, I now feel physical and mentally stronger. My relationships with others have been improving, and I feel more at peace when under stress. Friends have gradually been offering me opportunities, and people have remarked how bright and lively I seem.
Meeting Eric was the first step into the rest of my life. I’ve never been so optimistic about my future and health. I feel that there was a hint of fate that had Eric and I meet, and I know that thanks to him I am on a journey of wellness that I never thought was possible.

Throughout my teenage years I was very sporty, healthy, energetic and happy. As I approached my 20s my health was mysteriously taking a turn for the worse. I went to see many doctors in clinics who tried patching me up with countless temporary fixes, but nothing worked. In fact, things were getting worse; my gut was more painful, I felt sick all the time, I wasn’t digesting anything, my skin was reflecting my chaotic hormones, and it all made me anxious and apprehensive. After a few years of pain, exhaustion, loss of motivation, and an operation to remove my gallbladder at 21, I still did not feel better. I felt lost and didn’t know what to do, except to give up. That’s when my close friend Amy suggested I see Eric and since then, I have seen more than my health - my entire life - change completely before me.
With two treatments per week for the better part of a year, and a continuation of one treatment per week for 6 more months, Eric reinforced for me how important it is to put myself and my health first, to really listen to my body and my intuition, to be proactive about reading my energy levels, and helped me develop deep knowledge to be equipped with the strategies I would need to continue taking care of myself holistically for the rest of my life.
I have always been someone to pour my energy into the people close to me, without paying attention to how much that depletes my body’s ability to function normally. One of the most important things that Eric taught me is the notion that an attuned awareness of my energy levels is the key to understanding my health status. Over the months, my healing experience with Eric was teaching me the ways of an entirely new lifestyle, and I began actively practising the ability to check in with myself, to identify what my body needs at regular intervals, and in response, to proactively perform the strategies Eric taught me, alongside his treatments. Ultimately this was a way to remind me of the importance of preserving some of my own energy for myself.
From his extensive knowledge, passion and intuition in his healing practices, Eric has initiated enormous positive changes in my health and lifestyle which I would have thought impossible, that I never would have learnt about during my medical studies, nor would ever have come across if I had continued seeing doctors practicing western medicine. Two years on, Eric’s guidance and treatments continue to influence me every single day, and I will continue to cherish the knowledge he passed on to me every day to come. I am forever grateful for Eric, for his knowledge, dedication and patience, and all the support from his
entire family.

Call it my good karma that i stumbled across Eric and his clinic . I was at an all time low health wise - my body was physically and mentally burnt out suffering bad neck and shoulder pains. Eric told me i was a hard case but told me in no uncertain terms he could get me back to full fitness again . I have been seeing Eric twice a week for a month now and can honestly say i can already feel a vast improvement. My pains have nearly all gone and my energy levels have been restored. Eric's techniques, kindness & compassion set him a side from other healers . The patient's well being is his priority. I fully recommend Eric for any one who is carrying around body pain ! I am a work in progress looking forward to my next visit to the body rebuilding clinic.
Jim from Central Coast
It is with great please that I am writing this recommendation of Eric’s wonderful work.
The day I turned up at Eric’s rooms, I was in terrible pain and at a loss as to what to do with the situation I found myself in? In my 57 years I had never had a back ache and certainly never experienced nerve pain, for which I am very grateful.
Just before Christmas, I started suffering with what I thought was Sciatic pain? I went to a GP in early January, and after testing and ultrasounds it was thought to be muscular and I was sent to Physiotherapy. 3 weeks later I was in chronic pain, I ceased the physio and after a further visit to the GP I was referred to a neurosurgeon.
I couldn’t get an appointment to see the surgeon until the 13th of March.
By the middle of February I unable to work and was taking ridiculous amounts of anti inflammatory and pain medication.
One of my sons was talking to a friend of his about the pain I was in, and it turned out that the friends father had seen Eric on a few occasions for different injuries and swore by his excellent healing treatment and highly recommended I go and see him.
After my first appointment with Eric he couldn’t stipulate strongly enough, that I should never consider surgery and that he could fix me.
I started seeing Eric every 3rd day. By week 2 I could drive myself to appointments although still painful, I was able to drive.
I went to see the Surgeon on the 13th of March after an MRI revealed a synovial Cyst in my spinal Canal that was compressing the nerve root. I explained to him that I had been seeing Eric for treatment and by that time my pain level was considerably better, he accepted this and suggested I continue with the treatment as it was obviously working.
I returned to work on the 25th March and now only have slight twinges, I am truly grateful to Eric , he is very knowledgeable and caring and I highly recommend him to anyone who has a problem with any part of their body.
Thank you Eric

I was diagnosed with scoliosis as a young teenager, and like many others with this condition, I accepted that back discomfort and muscular imbalance was the norm. Endless massages and physiotherapy managed symptoms, but never with lasting results. Eric was recommended to me as a massage therapist. I am thrilled to say he is so much more than this.
Through a series of treatments, Eric has relieved and corrected muscular imbalances, significantly straightened my spine, and given me lasting relief of symptoms that I have never had. I now stand taller, sleep better, have clearer skin, and have so much more energy.
I cannot recommend Eric enough. He is a master of his craft. His deep understanding of the mind, body and spirit has provided me with life changing results. I am so grateful to have had this experience.
Sara, Terrigal
“Our first experience with Eric came several years ago when a friend suggested my husband see him regarding an ongoing lower back issue. He had consulted many practitioners and tried a range of treatments over the past 30 years, all of which had only given him temporary relief. During a particularly painful episode, he decided to give Eric a call, albeit feeling quite sceptical. Over the next 6 months Eric worked his ‘magic' and my husband has been virtually pain free for over 5 years. He has however, seen Eric on 2 occasions since, for maintenance only. Previous to seeing Eric he would experience periods of excruciating pain and would need to lie immobile for days sometimes weeks at a time, unresponsive to conventional treatments. Currently my children and myself are seeing Eric for varying issues and we are all progressing well. I have many longstanding injuries (ligament damage, elbow tendonitis, hip and knee issues) and as Eric explains, some problems may respond quickly and other issues will take longer, as one problem is alleviated another may surface a bit like peeling an onion, which is what is occurring for me. Far better that I find out now that I have the beginnings of arthritis than waiting a decade or 2 when it will be much more difficult to treat. Just be patient and ask questions, Eric is very forthcoming about what he can do to help you. We are very grateful to have found him.”

Eric has been treating my 16 year old daughter for hormonal imbalances which meant that her cycle had all but stopped, having had only 1 period in 18 months. Even though her diet was very nutritious, she loved her smoothies and acai bowl breakfasts, Eric made some recommendations regarding not eating cold foods, as her system needed warmth. She took his comments on board and with weekly treatments with Eric for about 1 month, then fortnightly, her cycle has now all but returned to normal within a 3 month period. Her skin is also beginning to clear without having to resort to medication. Eric has the capacity to treat more than superficial conditions, he has a deep knowledge of how the body works and is very intuitive. Once he restores the circulation to the afflicted area, the body has an innate wisdom to heal itself. Thank you Eric, we are very grateful.

I had 2 knee operations and for the past 3 years my pain has gotten worse. I have seen many Physiotherapists and masseur over the years . I would get relief for a day or so, until a friend recommended me see Erik.
My first treatment was ok, but Erik said I had nerve damage, and if I let him do his treatment he would be able to help me be pain free. I would be in pain just sitting in the car for 10 minutes, trying to bend down or even sitting on the couch and having many sleepless night due to pain. Having seen Erik for a few treatments, I could see the difference. I was able to bend my knee. Erik looks at the whole body, not just the area of pain. Even though the treatment sometimes hurts I think it's a good pain. Have to think about the future surgeons, operating table, rehab $$$or Erik Natural Traditional methods. He is very knowledgeable and professional in the manner way he works . I had to drive 5 hours after my last treatment, I was very worried how I'm going to cope. To my surprise I managed with no pain. Would like to thank Erik for all his help and support.

Eric has saved me twice. First when my body system all but shut down after being put on medication for 5 months. I became so ill I had to leave my studies and work. I didn’t know where to turn for help. Doctors only wanted to prescribe more drugs making situations worse. I tried several therapies and specialist before I found Eric. After the first appointment I felt the positive effects. Within a few months I regained my appetite, zest and vitality. Within the year I decided to study part time, while working full time in a well renowned restaurant which I went on to manage.
The second time I was overexposed to a toxic substance which damaged my central nervous system. This left me with vertigo, severe migraines and loss of coordination. I was unable to walk outside unaided, drive, socialize or work. Again, I sort out specialist within the field but only found information and no remedy. Eric was able to reset my body into a healing cycle. Slowly I was able to regain my independence as my body became stronger and symptoms disappeared.
Eric has extensive knowledge of the body matched with the right techniques to repair. A mind of wisdom and a heart of service and help.
Amy, Central Coast
I have had a neck problem for over 20 years and have tried all methods of tradition treatments until being referred to Eric and he is absolutely amazing. He has reduced a bulging disc in my neck and worked on a cure rather than a maintenance program. Eric is so knowledgeable and caring and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who has a problem with their body as I am confident Eric will provide a solution.
Paul Ivery, Point Frederick
I am 49 years old and until 3 years ago was a very healthy and active person, unfortunately on a trip to North Queensland I ate a toxic crab which left me in a coma and completely paralyzed after a few weeks in hospital I was able to walk again but the poison has left me with a lot of health issues some have been quite serious I even had a blood clot hemorrhage behind my eye and lost my sight for a while. I am the only known survivor in Australia therefore medically it has been difficult to deal with having had so many tests and taking prescribed medication my health just continued to deteriorate to the point in January 2018 I was finding it hard to even get out of bed and would sleep 3 days solid my whole body hurt I had put on heaps of weight my mental health was suffering everyone said how unwell I looked and I certainly didn’t feel or look like my former self. Then in May 2018 I was very lucky to be recommended to Eric. ( This was by former clients whom where due to have knee and shoulder surgery which became unnecessary after being treated by Eric) I really didn’t know what to expect but was feeling quite desperate at this stage from my first visit I believed for the first time since I was sick that I had hope. I had treatments twice a week for 6 weeks and the diffence is remarkable. My energy levels are back to normal, I am able to do 99% of my previous activities, have lost all the weight and feel so much more mentally alert I feel like my old self and everyone cannot believe how well I look! I now have a treatment once fortnightly and look forward to the euphoric feeling I experience. If you have any health issues and are contemplating if the treatments Eric offers is for you I highly recommend you let him work his magic on you! I am so grateful to have met this delightful man and his family. Best wishes in your journey back to health and well-being.

I have great pleasure in providing a testimonial to the skills of Eric . I am a 55 year old builder & have developed many ailments from work & sporting injuries .
Starting with Sciatic pain, shoulder injury, heal spurs, torn hamstrings & arthritic knee . I can honestly say that Eric has freed me of any pain in these areas & from once relying on voltaren , panadeine, Nurofen , I no longer need any of these & feel physically strong .

I travel up from Sydney for Eric's treatment. It's a method that has been passed down through generations I gather, which generates genuine healing effects on the client. Once you have been exposed to a knowledgeable practitioner such as Eric, you realise how many out there aren't nearly as proficient. If your back or body or even psyche need a bit of repair, or even a lot, I would consider Eric a excellent therapist who knows what he's doing. He's confident with his art and it's good to know and trust you are in very good hands.

I had bulging discs and consequently back surgery 10 years ago. Now it’s back and confirmation from my neurosurgeon, after an MRI, it looks like back surgery again. I have been in constant pain for over 6 months and just getting worse.
A friend of mine saw a sign outside Eric’s place and went in and made enquiries for me. I contacted Eric and made my first appointment for 27th June 2018. It was an initial 12-hour drive to get there, and in excruciating pain by the time I arrived. Now I drive just over an hour for my appointments with Eric.
My pain was radiating down my right leg, which Eric concentrated on. I was almost pain free after my first couple of appointments. Now I have no pain in my leg, but feeling some discomfort in by back area. Eric has now started working on that area. And once again I’m almost pain free.
Eric is professional at all times. whatever he does, it is extremely effective.
He is very knowledgeable and happy to explain his treatment methods with you. I don’t ask a lot of questions as I totally believe and trust in Eric’s treatment for my pain.
I always feel good and pain free after my sessions. I have been seeing Eric regularly since my initial appointment.
I will continue my 1-hr drive for my sessions with Eric. I am pain free right now. I believe in maintenance sessions and will continue to see Eric even though I am not in pain.
I am so happy to have found him. I am in no doubt that once the word gets out how amazing Eric is, it will be hard to get an appointment to see him.
I would recommend Eric for your treatment, whatever it may be.
Theresa, Cessnock
I suffered from a torn shoulder with reduced range of motion, pins and needles in the fingers and pain down the arm, I had tried Remedial Massage & Physio with no success.
I booked with Eric as I was running out of options.
With the treatment received I have full range of motion, no pins and needles and no pain down the arm.
I would recommend this treatment and I will continue to see Eric.

In March 2018 I encountered severe pain and loss of strength in my left shoulder accompanied by tingling in my fingers. At 59 years old and a keen surfer this was real set back as I could not push up on my surfboard to get to my feet. I went and saw my GP who prescribed painkillers and suggested rest and light exercise, no improvement was forthcoming. A month later I had a CT scan that revealed a bulging disc in neck and thus a pinched nerve, the symptoms continued with alternating pysio and chiro weekly that did nothing. I continued working and taking Endones to mask the pain and had no real improvement with pain level at a 7 or 8 out of 10. I was contemplating a referral to surgeon when a friend at Budgewoi gave me Eric’s number. I was sceptical but went to see Eric in June, he said not a big problem and that he can fix and that I would feel much better the next day. The next morning the pain had eased and therefore I took no Endones, by lunchtime the pain was a 2 or 3 out of ten. I attended Eric’s every week for 2 months, every week the symptoms lessened until they were nonexistent, at that point I knew I was healed and Eric said no need for any more appointments. It is now September and I am back surfing and exercising to build up my strength and stamina. I have no doubt that Eric’s expertise and methods eliminated my ongoing physical issues. I would recommend Eric as a source of healing and also knowledge concerning you body and wellbeing

“Being born with a genetic condition that effects my respiratory and digestive systems, my immune system had to work overtime from my late teens and had eventually become severely compromised.
After Eric’s consistent and wholistic treatment, I’ve just managed to get through my first winter in ten years without developing a full blown chest infection. Eric genuinely believes and cares about what he does, and the results speak for themselves…” - Israel Cannan (33, Central Coast)
Eric is a fantastic therapist. I went to him for a shoulder injury. After the first session the pain in my shoulder had subsided . Eric is a very experienced healer with a deep understanding of how the body works. I would highly recommend him. Wayne
Last year, on my birthday, I could not stand up, could not put any weight on my right leg. The bursa in my hip was inflamed. Eric told me that I would be ok by Christmas, and true to his word, I was. I am very grateful to Eric for his help and healing.
Eva Pratt, 63 years old, Central Coast
After sustaining spinal injuries and suffering for years after treatment from chiropractors & physiotherapists who could never seem to reduce my pain or give me more mobility, I came across Eric and explained my situation to him. After 3 treatments in 2 weeks I not only have no pain, but was able to return to the play the sports I enjoyed before my injury. In the years I have been treated by Eric I have also suffered other injuries such as complete shoulder rupture which have been treated by Eric without the need for surgery. I have recommended Eric to many family & friends who also now swear by Eric’s healing hands . The care and genuine interest to improve my situation from Eric is second to none and I cannot say enough about how he has improved my health when i thought all hope was lost! Matt
"I have been seeing Eric for a number of years now from when he healed a shoulder injury from a car accident to more recently for stressful and emotional situations affecting my physical and mental health. He knows without me saying what things are going on from the changes to my body. I always feel an improvement straight away. He is genuine, kind and caring. He knows what he is doing and it's important to him that he helps you. I trust, respect and believe in him!! Thanks Eric."

I wish to say thank you to the best remedial therapist possible, Eric. 5 years ago, I was involved in a serious MVA, rolling my car across 3 lanes of the M1 sustaining a complete fracture of the C2 vertebrae, as well as continuing pain and problems with my back. I attended much therapy following the healing of the fracture without much help. That was when I was advised to visit Eric after a stint in hospital with severe back problems. I could not believe how quickly he had me back on my feet and how he has maintained my good physical health since. I have recently spent another stint in hospital with a nerve in my neck causing pain and loss of use of my arm, again Eric has rescued me and is making such a difference to this.
