Our Story

Originally I qualified as a registered nurse in 1984. I quickly realised a lot of my nursing patients had chronic diseases which were just being managed, sometimes not very well by the medical profession. I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to improve the health of my parents and perhaps to prevent illness. I then studied osteopathy and naturopathy and I have been working in alternative health since 1989, when I qualified as an osteopath and naturopath. In 2004 I qualified as a homeopath and in 2015 as a Bowen therapist. Homeopathy has been my passion since I discovered it in about 1999. It is a lovely gentle and effective therapy, which I have used to improve health and relieve illness in many people. What I like about homeopathy is that it can treat all sorts of problems which sometimes don't fall into the normal classification of medical disorders. It allows me to regard all symptoms as important and as part of the unique expression of an individual 's disorder. Symptoms are carefully recorded and remedies prescribed accordingly. The client's progress is reviewed at regular intervals. There has been much rubbish published in newspapers about homeopathy but there is also a lot of research being conducted which all points to the efficacy of homeopathy. Results of this research can be found on the Society of Homeopath's website. Bowen Therapy or Technique is a relatively new therapy which can give astonishingly good results for all sorts of physical problems. It is very gentle. A few rolling type moves are made on certain parts of the body which is then allowed time to rest and respond to the moves that have happened. As an ex osteopath I feel the results that can be achieved from Bowen are very impressive as it seems to be able to help long term problems that a person has had to learn to live with. Long term problems will usually need a course of treatment rather than just a one off. Patients often comment on second or subsequent treatments that considering how gentle and minimal the treatment is that the results are amazing. Again on the Bowen Technique website is all sorts of research into how the therapy works and it's efficacy. Suitable for all ages from babies to very elderly. It is possible to remain dressed for Bowen. If this is your preference, please wear loose clothing (not jeans). Conditions that I have treated include back, neck and limb pain and restrictions of movement. Stress, depression, anxiety, asthma, eczema, digestive problems including irritable bowel syndrome, childhood illnesses, candida, chronic fatigue, menstrual problems amongst other things.
