acuAcupuncture aims  to help the whole person in order to redress the balance  of their physical and emotional needs. It is a system of healing which has been practised in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years. It is not painful and the needles used are not like most peoples perception of a needle, but rather, they are fine, almost hair-like in appearance.aims


During your therapy moxa and cupping may also be used.

#Hopi Ear Candles

Thermal Auricular Therapy (also known as Hopi Ear Candles) is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. These ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.  Accompanied by a relaxing facial massage to encourage lymphatic drainage.


fobwatch  #Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can help to change your mind!   Whether that is a simple change such as being confident about flying, stopping smoking etc. or a more complex change like getting rid of anxiety.   The therapy depends upon the condition, as do the number of sessions you will require.

Hypnotherapy is not about being put into a 'trance' and giving up control.   Hypnotherapy involves you entering into a very relaxed state , you do not give up control and you are aware of what is going on around you.   Under therapeutic hypnosis you cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do.

Whatever the problem it is always worth ringing me to discuss the ways that hypnotherapy could help. shopping cart

successSuccess Coaching is a process of focusing and fine tuning to ensure that you are getting where you want to be - even if at the beginning of the sessions you don't know where that is!   It about you finding your own way within a supported relationship, rather then someone guiding you.  it's the sensible way to cope with the stresses of modern day living and especially useful if you are in a demanding job.

#Metabolic Typing seeks to determine how you metabolize your food following celerysimple test. Once your type is known you can then be given a recommended food list for your type and guidelines to help you fine tune your diet to give you optimum benefits. The method in all cases will recommend whole and natural foods and lifestyle changes may be relevant. Like all natural methods development is long term(mths rather than wks) and educational.

The great thing about MT is that it's a million miles from one size fits all diets in that you learn how to tailor your own diet, sometimes from meal to meal, to help with your specific health concerns. Once you have spent some time with MT you begin to realise that a lot of what is said about nutrition in mainstream can be nonsense! Why? Because it often fails to meet your needs.

#Nutritional Coaching.  

saladNutrition is not about going on a 'diet'.   Diets are short term acts of sacrifice as you avoid your favourite foods temporarily always thinking 'I can't wait 'til this diet is over then I can have '*!$%^**'.

Nutrition uses the power of food with the help and support of a therapist to help you through the early stages of what should be a lifelong path to health and well-being - you can learn so much more. You don't have to think of food as your medicine either, as the old fable goes, as this makes you think food is medicine and tastes nasty! But you will start to think differntly about foods.

Nutritional Strategies are more about getting to know food and how it affects YOU! Using it to your advantage!

Discover those foods that make you feel better, perform better in all aspects of your life, achieve the look you would like and make sure you increase the quality of your life permenantly.  

Those who believe they are already on a healthy diet are often surprised at how nutritional therapy can still make such a difference.

Contact our Nutritional Therapist and ask how changes to your nutrition can help you.

colour wheel#Colour Therapy

Your choice of colour and the colours you don't choose reflect the balance of energy within your body.
In a similar way to being unable to not communicate you cannot not choose a colour.  Colour can be used to help aid the healing process within your body and has been used successfully in burns units for instance where blue walls have been shown to speed up the recovery rate of severly burned children.

Imbalances in your body energies can result in your feeling not quite right but without there being anything consciously wrong and sometimes that is an inability to funcation to your maximum potential with one energy area of your life.

Colour therapy uses you choices of colour to aid the process followed by a period of energy therapy which might include light, coloured material or crystals.  The aim being to give you the option to take a more balanced approach to approaches to life. £30

#Reflexology

or zone therapy, is the practice of massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the feet, or sometimes the hands and ears, with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or to improve general health.

It is believed that that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by manipulating these one can improve health.  It is also believed that  these zones reflect energy (Qi), and that blockages of energy in the body are reflected through "grit" or "lumps" on the foot.

A clinical reflexologist can often tell, simply by the conidtion of your feet where you may have problem in your body and it is not unusual to hear 'Have you got a problem with your right shoulder?' for instance.
Our reflexologist is Sam Holt

little girlAlexander Technique

The Alexander Technique is a practical method of learning to restore the natural poise andbalance that we had as young children. Lessons are taught on a one-to-one basis so that theteacher can assess individual movement patterns by using light hands on contact, togetherwith verbal explanation.
The Alexander Technique works by helping you to identify and prevent the harmful posturalhabits that aggravate, or may be the cause of, stress, pain and under-performance. Lessonsare tailored to individual needs but are applied to daily activities such as sitting, standing,driving a car or sitting at a computer. It can also be applied to hobbies or interests such asgardening, playing golf or playing a musical instrument.
You will learn how to release tension and rediscover balance of mind and body. With increased awareness you can:be poised without stiffness move gracefully and powerfully with less effort be alert and focused with less strain breathe and speak more easily and freely be calm and confident
Kim Cant is our Alexander Technique Teacher

Counselling
We live in a complex, busy, changing world.  In this world, there are many different types of experience that are difficult for people to cope with.  Most of the time we get on with life, but sometimes we are stopped in our tracks by an event or situation that we do not, at that moment, have the resources to sort out".  If we cannot find ways to sort this out in our family, with our friends, or with a priest or doctor, etc., then "Counselling is a really useful option at these moments".  John McLeod, An Introduction to Counselling, 2003.
Bev Henderson is our Counsellor
