Kiss FM Radio Station
Running a radio station is a stressful job anywhere in the world. In a place like the Algarve, working in both Portuguese and English language programming and advertising, with a mixed resident and tourist population, it is even more complicated. No wonder, then, that Paul Buick, owner of leading radio station Kiss FM, was “a bit stressed out” when he first came to see Douglas.
Paul had no previous personal experience of healing but was persauded to try by Douglas’s Algarve co-ordinator to give it a try. When he arrived for the first session he was his normal stressed self. At the end of the session, he was “floating” as he put it – and became an instant convert to the cause!
“It was amazing,” he said, “I just laid on the couch, and Douglas put his hands on my shoulders. Nothing dramatic happened, but I feel totally relaxed and peaceful now, as if everything has been calmed down and sorted out. Great!”
Paul is now one of Douglas’s regular clients, booking a series of sessions when Douglas visits the Algarve. “It keeps me sane,” he says – and that has to be good for the airwaves!
One of Kiss FM’s most popular DJs is Owen Gee – or, to give him his full correct title, Sir Owen G Window, Knight of the Order of St Michael. The honoour was bestowed by His Highness the Duke of Bragança, Pretender to the Portuguese throne, to mark the enormous amount of work that Owen has done for charities and deserving causes over the years. But to most people, he is Owen Gee, former rock drummer and friend to many a pop star of those glittering days of the ‘70s and ‘80s who brightens up Sunday mornings in the Algarve. Owen is another convert to Douglas’s special form of healing, and another ´regular´when Douglas visits the Algarve. Owen has suffered with a variety of problems with his back and hips following a serious of painful operations. “I lived in constant pain after the operations,” said Owen, “but following a couple of sessions with Douglas, the pain had gone, and as well as that, I feel much better in myself.”
