What are alternative therapies?
Therapies like acupuncture, reflexology or Reiki are holistic approaches. They work on the whole system - mind and body - by releasing, amplifying and supporting our natural healing mechanisms. Although distinct from the purely pharmaceutical or surgical treatments that define mainstream medicine, they are nonetheless increasingly being accepted and integrated into the delivery of NHS healthcare as respected and meaningful disciplines in their own right.
My range of therapies can be used to ameliorate a variety of health needs and conditions, many of them the outcome of the pressures and stresses of modern life. These can include insomnia, lack of energy, anxiety, back and joint pain, digestive conditions and addiction to food or cigarettes. They can also help with many of the issues that surround conception, pregnancy and the post-natal period.

Foot Reflexology
Reflexology has been a highly effective healing system for thousands of years. However, since the beginning of the twentieth century our understanding and practice has been significantly enriched by the volumes of research and development that have led to the methodologies we use today.
Facial Reflexology
This unique type of reflexology works on the same principle as classic foot reflexology but the techniques that make this such a powerful healing process also deliver an immediate beautifying effect. Facial Reflexology is actually two treatments in one.
Pre-Conception, Pregnancy and Post-natal Reflexology
Pregnancy is an important and significant event in any woman’s life and Foot Reflexology can provide you with support at every stage from pre-conception to post-natal support. The only exception is during the first trimester when treatment is not recommended.
Micro-system Acupuncture
This relatively recent approach to treatment has been developed from traditional Chinese medicine and Western clinical experience and is based on the bio-holographic theory that the entire system is represented on smaller parts of the body (microsystems).
Hopi Ear Candles
Ear candling uses sound frequency vibration to balance pressure in the head, to remove crystallised wax from the inner ear and to drain mucus from the sinuses. It is the sound of the flame that vibrates the small bones of the inner ear creating a massaging effect.
Cupping
Cupping therapy alleviates many different symptoms and provides relief in a wide range of health problems and conditions. Cupping is particularly helpful for pain relief, soft muscle tissue injuries, acute and chronic infections, and combatting tiredness and depression.
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle but powerful method of healing. A respected Japanese technique, it channels life energy through the practitioner to target the root of the problem as well as the symptoms. Reiki is not a religious practice; it is a wonderful method for supporting natural health for everyone.
