This certificate connects me directly to the founder of osteopathy.
It’s something I’ve always quietly valued but in building CBD One, it’s taken on a deeper meaning.
If you look closely, you’ll see the faint signature of my then 96-year-old mentor, John Wernham, a remarkable osteopath who practised and lectured into his 100th year.
He was taught by J.M. Littlejohn, the man who brought osteopathy to Britain in 1917…
And Littlejohn was taught by A.T. Still, the founder of osteopathy himself.
So in a very real sense, the principles we apply at CBD One today are part of a living lineage of hands-on, patient-focused healthcare.
I didn’t start out in this world.
Around 30 years ago, I was a burnt-out teacher, unsure what came next—until I sat next to an osteopath at a wedding.
I asked him what he did.
He said: “I help people get better without using drugs.”
That was my light bulb moment..
It set me on a path that eventually led to founding CBD One, bringing together modern products with real clinical understanding of the body.
Here at CBD One this has never just been about products.
It’s about:
• Understanding how the body actually works
• Helping people take control of their health
• And carrying forward knowledge that’s been refined over generations
I’ll admit, I can still be a bit forthright about health (my family would definitely agree 😄)
But it comes from a genuine place:
I care passionately about helping people feel better.
And that’s what sits at the heart of CBD One.
