Welcome...

Complementary Therapies have become more popular in recent years as people look for alternative ways to boost their health and well being. I feel that Complementary Therapies should be seen not just as a "treat" but as a regular part of our lives in today's stressful and fast paced world. Stressful living and long working hours can have a negative effect on our bodies and if not addressed may lead to physical symptoms and chronic health conditions. Regular treatments can help to balance the body, relieve tension and give a warm sense of well-being, leaving you ready for another day.

Complementary Therapies work along side medical treatments or consultation, not to replace them. A therapist would never advise to reduce or stop taking any prescribed medication and would suggest a G.P. appointment if she/he felt it neccessary. Treatments can be used to help reduce any associated symptoms from conditions or side effects. Complemetary Therapies use a holistic approach. The word holistic is from the greek word "holos" meaning whole, which looks at a person as a whole incorporating mind, body and spirit.

A full medical consultation is always taken at the first meeting, but I will ask on contact if there are any on-going medical conditions and if any regular medication is taken. If this is the case then I will need to write to your G.P. to obtain their consent before treatments begin. At subsequent visits you will be asked how you felt after the previous treatment and if there have been any changes to your health. All information given is in strict confidence and will be treated as such.
