Summary of Therapies
Nutrition & Kinesiology
Our nutritionist is able to advise on a range of allergies, food intolerances and other dietary conditions. After an initial consultation to discuss in detail your lifestyle and medical history, kinesiology is used to test muscles, identify underlying problems and to re-balance your energy system.
A dietary programme is then recommended to enable the client to recover health and well-being. It is advised to have a check-up session after a month when progress can be followed up. Eventually, it is hoped that any supplements and changes to your usual diet can be reduced to a maintenance dosage as part of recovering good health.
Kinesiology is a science which gives insight to the underlying causes of health problems. It works on muscle responses and on the body’s energy systems which controls all functions of the body; particularly the mental processes and the emotions. Kinesiology restores the connections and helps you go forwards.

Bowen Technique
"Subtle in its approach and powerful in effect. The
Bowen Technique is considered safe to use on anyone, from babies to the elderly."
The Bowen Technique was developed by a gifted and innovative Australian therapist named Tom Bowen in the 1950's. Relaxing and soothing to receive, the therapist uses thumbs and forefingers to make Bowen's unique sets of gentle, rolling-type moves, which are then alternated with leaving the client to rest for a few minutes.
The moves are focused on crucial junctions of muscle and bone, nerve pathways, blood and lymph circulation and energy flow. The pauses allow the body's different systems to respond to the moves with the subtle and fine adjustments, which help to relieve tension, reduce pain and initiate the healing process.
The Bowen Technique is not necessarily a 'long-term' treatment programme. A small number of treatments are often adequate even for long-standing complaints. The Bowen therapist does not diagnose, but rather treats the individual while also focussing on any areas of concern.
A treatment can be given through light clothing. Some of the wide range of conditions which respond well to a Bowen treatment include: back pain; sciatica; frozen shoulder; tennis elbow; pelvic problems; digestive problems; fluid retention; migraine and headaches; circulation problems; stress and tension; depression; teeth grinding; M.E.; low energy; sports injuries; childhood problems (glue ear; bed-wetting, etc.,); P.M.T.; menstrual irregularities; menopausal problems.
Cost
One hour: £30.00
Body Massage/Aromatherapy
The aim of the massage is to relax the body and mind and to create a feeling of wellness again. As well as soothing away stress and tension, massage will help conditions such as headaches, backache and specific muscular aches and pains.
Different massage techniques are used to improve blood circulation to the muscles and nervous system and to eliminate waste products via the lymphatic system. Massage can also be invigorating, which in turn will boost energy levels and increase mental clarity.
Massage has a profound effect on all levels of our being. It plays an important part in helping to keep our bodies functioning in a balanced way. During the massage, your body will be covered with large towels; each part uncovered when being worked on and re-covered as the massage moves on.
Costs
One hour: £26.00
Deluxe Body Massage (1½ hours): £32.00
Back, Neck and Shoulders (30 minutes): £23.00
Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic therapy for activating the healing power of the whole body through applying pressure to different points in the feet. The ancient Egyptians first used this natural therapy and it has been traced back to the year 2330 BC. Reflexology helps normalise your body's functioning. It helps break down tension and alleviates stress as well as improving nerve functioning and blood supply throughout your body.
Reflexology is a therapeutic massage compatible with all forms of medicine, whether homoeopathic, naturopathic or herbal.
Whilst it is not a substitute for treatment prescribed by a medical practitioner, it can be used for a variety of conditions, such as: acne; asthma; bronchial symptoms; chronic fatigue; colon problems; eczema; headaches; high blood pressure; infections; lack of energy; leg pain; lymph drainage; migraine; muscular pain, tension and cramp; PMT; menopausal problems; neck and shoulder pain; water retention and Parkinson's symptoms.
One hour: £23.00
Indian Head and Shoulder Massage
A gentle massage of the shoulders, arms, neck, head and face. You remain seated and fully clothed throughout this extremely relaxing massage. It can be used on all ages - from babies to the elderly. As well as stimulating the circulation in the scalp and improving hair condition, Indian head and shoulder massage improves circulation, alleviates headaches and eyestrain; decongests sinuses; mobilises stiff joints; helps muscle fatigue and improves lymphatic drainage.
Costs
One hour: £23.00
Homeopathy
"A gentle system of natural medicine for treating people of all ages for most common conditions."
HOMEOPATHY is a 200 year-old system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances given in mainly tablet form, which triggers the body’s natural system of healing. Based on your experience of your symptoms, the homeopath will prescribe the most appropriate remedies for you.
Homeopathy works on the principle of
“like cures like” - that is, a substance that would cause symptoms in a healthy person is used to cure those same symptoms in illness.
At the first consultation the homeopath will usually spend at least an hour, sometimes longer, asking detailed questions about your current health, medical history, and lifestyle. Some of the questions may seem strange, but the important thing to remember with homeopathy is that it treats the individual (you) in a holistic way, and so it is looking to understand how you experience your symptoms and how they affect your life. The aim is to match you with the most appropriate medicine.
Follow-up consultations will involve discussing the changes that have occurred, so that the homeopath can understand your response to the prescription and what the next step of your treatment should be.
Costs
First consultation:(1½ hours): £48.00
Follow up visits: £32.00
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy has been acknowledged for centuries as a safe natural and effective way to treat unhelpful habits and thought patterns. Working with a therapist, you can delve into your inner world and induce a state of deep relaxation to unlock your motivation, confidence and natural ability to learn new skills and behaviours.
Anyone can be hypnotised if they want to be and while in the hypnotic state you will have complete control over your own behaviour. Like day-dreaming, you can enter and leave this state at will.
Everything you learn is stored in your subconscious and this can be accessed directly when you are in a relaxed state. As your therapist I will use various techniques to explore new ways of thinking and by stimulating your innate healing ability you can overcome fears and make lasting change.
Whatever your issue, it can be amazingly effective and unlike other therapies it does not usually rely on lengthy courses of treatment. Everyone responds differently but many people make lasting changes in just 1-3 sessions.
Hypnotherapy is a natural, non invasive therapy where it is possible to achieve lasting results in relatively few sessions.
There are not known to be any detrimental side effects.
Costs
All Consultations 1 hour in length: £50.00 (First Consultation (1½ hours):
Stop Smoking: £70.00 per session. Three sessions recommended or £200 for three sessions booked in advance.
Remedial Massage and Personal Fitness and Training Advise
By applying pressure and friction across and along the muscle fibres, the remedial massage therapist breaks down adhesions in the connective tissue and restores range of movement. The release of muscle tension improves:
Blood flow to the injured area
Speeds up the healing process
Breaks down scar tissue
Reduces stress
Aids pain relief
The application of Remedial Massage is a way of maintaining the muscles in their best condition. Lumps, bumps and knots in the muscle are weak points and if left untreated may potentially lead to injury.
