About Me
Hi, I’m Christopher Donnelly.
I’ve been a healing energy practitioner and Access Bars facilitator for almost a decade, but my journey didn’t start with a certificate - it started with a desperate need for change.
For 20 years, I lived in the heavy fog of clinical depression. I was heavily medicated, feeling lost, and honestly, I forgot what it felt like to be me.
After beginning to receive Access Bars, I discovered that most of the difficulty I was facing in life was because I was trying to be normal. I was trying to fit in and be normal like everyone else. But the truth is, I’m not normal and I’m not like anyone else. When I regained my power, I stopped trying to be anyone else and that’s when my life changed because the truth is there is no normal.
This was a profound shift in my mind and body that changed the entire trajectory of my life. I knew right then that I couldn't keep this to myself.
Today, my mission is to show you that you aren't "broken" and you don't have to stay stuck. I’m here to share these tools and teach you how to use them, so you can stop just surviving and actually start creating a life you love.

TESTIMONIALS
Michelle - June 2026
“After having two Access Bars sessions with Chris, I've been really impressed with the experience and the positive changes I've noticed. From the moment I met him, Chris created a calm and welcoming environment that made it easy to relax and trust the process.
After each session, I felt lighter, more at ease, and less caught up in the stress and mental chatter of daily life. I found myself worrying a lot less - which is a significant difference for me, feeling more patient, and approaching challenges with a clearer mindset.
I was so encouraged by my own experience that I also brought my son, who has Down syndrome and Autism, for a session. He responded very well and seemed noticeably calmer and more relaxed afterwards. It was wonderful to see him benefit from the treatment in his own way.
Overall, Access Bars has been a really positive experience for both of us, and Chris has been professional, caring, and easy to work with throughout. I would happily recommend that anyone curious about Access Bars give it a try - you may be surprised by the difference it can make.”
"I tried access bars a while ago with Chris, when he gave me a full treatment, and that was amazing and life changing; I was going through big changes in my life, and after a painful and slightly toxic relationship, and my mind was thinking and analysing a lot, most of the time in a negative way, after the access bars session with Chris I felt liberated of some of the tension in my body and mind, many of my worries lifted, and I was like lighter and more present and grateful for the beautiful life I have.
It's almost like it instantly released those stores emotions and some of the trauma from my body, hence my mind. I actually told myself I should discover more about this technique which seems so simple yet achieved so much in just one treatment.
This last session, where we did interchange with Chris and two more people, I loved the fact that I was not only able to free myself from tension and totally relax myself, but to actually help the others do that too, and I loved this interchange, and felt really good and empower from it.
After a session you will at least feel a deep sense of peace and relaxation, and at most feel a shift in your perspective on life and letting go of old patterns and habits which hold you back in life and create pain and anxiety in you.
Thank you Chris and all others for this opportunity to experience access bars again as a group this time."

“I met Chris during my travels, and he offered me an Access Bars session.
I was feeling quite a lot of tension in my body before starting. During the session, I felt things gradually releasing, as if my body was letting go little by little.
By the end of the treatment, I experienced a deep sense of calm throughout my whole body, along with a strong feeling of gratitude.
I also really appreciated the open and easy exchange with Chris afterwards.
Thank you”
Emanuela - April 2026
"I experienced a very deep sense of relaxation and mental clarity during the Access Bars session. Chris explained the process very clearly, which helped me feel comfortable and fully engaged. I also appreciated the exchange of practice, where I received the treatment and was able to practice on him as well, making the experience more interactive and grounded.
I have explored several modalities before, including kineosology, emotional freedom techniques, and acupuncture. Compared to these, I found Access Bars to produce very immediate effects. Even though the session lasted only about 30 minutes, the results were noticeable almost straight away.
Before the session, I had strong pain in my right leg for about a week. After the session, the pain reduced significantly, and I only became aware of the improvement about half an hour later. The pain continued to decrease over the following days and eventually disappeared completely. I experienced this as a release of physical and nervous system tension, as if a burden had been lifted from the body.
From my reflection on the experience, it felt as though the session helped release emotional and mental pressure connected to control, stress, and accumulated internal tension. The shift was not only physical but also emotional, allowing a sense of lightness and clarity to return.
The session also brought insight into my internal patterns. It highlighted areas where I hold tension and resistance, and helped me observe them with more awareness and acceptance. Chris also brings a very unconventional and open perspective, which supported me in reframing certain patterns I tend to hold.
Overall, the experience gave me a sense of mental space and relief, almost like a reset from my usual internal pressure. I left feeling clearer, more relaxed, and more connected to a calmer state of mind.

"I did the Bars course with Christopher and also received and gave treatments. It was so interesting how it works and the energies that went through my body and also the client's as well. Christopher is a pro, very relaxed, explains everything so well and I would highly recommend this treatment and the course! It's powerful! Christopher and Ann-Marie are definitely powerful people with great vibes. Thanks a million, I feel so lifted and clear headed. 5 starts out of 5."
Gayle MKs - September 2022
"Had my first access bars treatment and it was so powerful! I felt the energy shift throughout my body. Would highly recommend Chris as a practitioner, he has a lovely gentle energy. He explained the process well and was very informative. I slept like a log that night and the next day felt like a new lease of life! Felt self limiting beliefs shattered and confidence resorted. I'm still buzzing from the experience. Thank you so much!"
Alexandra - May 2026
“After receiving a series of three treatments from Chris, I noticed a clear shift in my negative thought patterns that I often find myself looping through.
Each session brought a deep sense of relaxation and mental clarity, and his straightforward way of explaining the process made it easy to fully settle into the experience and I felt safe throughout the treatments.
I was surprised by how quickly Access Bars created noticeable results for me. The treatments also helped me release built-up stress and internal tension in my body, leaving me feeling lighter and more at ease.
Overall, the sessions felt like a reset - bringing calm, space, and a clearer state of mind. I will definitely be reaching out for more treatments in the future.”

“For over twenty years I have been involved in and exposed to a wide range of healing modalities in a variety of settings, ranging from Mexico to the pueblos the American Southwest, to France and Spain. I have also been a yoga practitioner and teacher for a decade. Having known Chris Donnelly and his work for two years I have benefitted enormously from the sessions he has carried out with me. The experience has greatly impacted me both physically and spiritually. It has been both enriching and transformative. have had the opportunity to exchange with Chris at length about his own personal journey and the services he provides to others. From encountering other people who have undertaken sessions with him, I know he has the highest of reputations. Not content with being a healer and spiritual being, Chris has also dedicated a lot of time to assisting others in creating physical spaces where healing sessions can thrive, such as retreat centres. This exemplifies his holistic approach of combining the spiritual and the practical, bridging the illusory divide between everyday life and our deepest self. I highly recommend Chris to retreat centres and other venues, and to all those in need of comfort and healing .”
