Body Massage

Massage has both a physiological and psychological effect. A full or part body massage can soothe away the tension accumulated in the body from day to day stress and tension, leaving the recipient feeling calm and relaxed in mind and body. For further information contact Fiona Forster.

Bowen Technique

The Bowen Technique is a gentle remedial therapy becoming increasingly recognised as a safe and effective holistic treatment for muscular-skeletal disorders, work and sports related injuries, hayfever and bronchial symptoms, migraine, stress and tension based problems, general relaxation and body balancing.

It's gentleness and non-invasive style make it appropriate for all, from the new-born to the elderly. Treatment can usually be given through loose clothing and in itself is a relaxing experience. For further information contact Fiona Forster.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses an altered state of awareness, induced by a state of deep relaxation, for the treatment and relief of a wide variety of physical and psychological symptoms.

There are many different techniques which can be used to help you. Some conditions require relatively little intervention, whilst others require deeper exploration of memories and beliefs which could be adversely affecting your life.

You are always in charge of the hypnotic session, and can leave the hypnotic state at any time, just as easily as you entered it. It is important to note that no-one can be hypnotised against their will nor forced to do or say anything they do not want to do. For further information contact Traceyann Croshaw

Nutrition

A nutritional consultation offers an holistic, individually-tailored approach for your specific symptoms.

It is often assumed that the modern diet is perfectly adequate. However, research shows that many people today are suffering from lack of essential nutrients such as vital vitamins and minerals. This can lead to the general feeling of being unwell, and in the long term, may lead to serious illness.

Additionally, there may be inherited genetic requirements for extra nutrients. Stress also creates a need for extra nutrients, as does illness. If antibiotics have been prescribed, these can upset the intestinal flora and lead to overgrowth of yeast and bacteria that can cause digestive problems. A nutritional therapist will work closely with you to resolve these problems.

If you suffer from any of the following complaints, a nutritional consultation may help you:

headaches/migraines • allergies • irritable bowel • bloatedness • fatigue • pms • arthritis • sleeplessness • depression & anxiety • candidiasis • ME • blood sugar problems • infertility • skin problems • managing the menopause • being overweight •
