  Acupuncture   aims to treat the whole person in order to redress the balance    of their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. It is a system of healing which has been practised inChina and other Eastern countries for thousands of years.   Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture is not merely used to alleviate pain - it can also be used for a wide variety of other 'problems', for example; sthma, infertility, arthritis, depression, and skin conditions. It is not painful and the needles used are not like most peoples perception of a needle, but rather, they are fine, almost hair-like in appearance.

During your therapy moxa and cupping may also be used.

  Allergy Testing (food intoerance)

We have a range of tests which can be used appropriately to your needs. The basic blood test is for those who suspect some health issue may be due to a food intolerance.   This test would ascertain whether or not you have an intolerance to any food.   More advanced testing checks your blood sample against a range of foods. Speak to Barry Todd about food allergy/intolerance testing.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils, and other scented compounds from plants for the purpose of affecting a person's mood or health. Essential oils differ in chemical composition from other herbal products because the distillation process only recovers the lighter phytomolecules. For this reason essential oils are rich in monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, as well as other VOC substances (esters, aromatic compounds, non-terpene hydrocarbones, some organic sulfides etc.).

Aromatherapy is a generic term that refers to any of the various traditions that make use of essential oils sometimes in combination with other alternative medical practices and is generally offered in combination with a full body massage so that the oils are able to penetrate the skin and also are taken in through the nostrils.   A clinical aromatherapist can prescribe a mixture of oils to suit a particular condiditon and possibly more imporatantly will avoid certain oils that are contra indicated by certain conditions.

We have a number of aromatherapists

  Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy can help to change your mind!   Whether that is a simple change such as being confident about flying, stopping smoking etc. or a more complex change like getting rid of anxiety.   The therapy depends upon the condition, as do the number of sessions you will require.

Hypnotherapy is not about being put into a 'trance' and giving up control.   Hypnotherapy involves you entering into a very relaxed state, however, you do not give up control and you are aware of what is going on around you.   Under therapeutic hypnosis you cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do.

No matter what the problem, a free introductory appointment is recommended so that you can fully discuss your needs and have a clear understanding of what you can expect from the therapy.

Indian Head Massage  Indian Head Massage includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face, ears and energy balancing.  It is based on the traditional form of Champi (head massage) practised in India for over 1,000 years.

It is a wonderfully relaxing therapy. The massage is safe, simple to learn and very effective to give, without the need to undress or use oils. It can provide relief from aches and pains, stress symptoms, insomnia, promote hair growth, soothe, comfort and rebalance your energy flow which gives you a deep sense of peace, calm and tranquillity.

We have a number of therapists offering Indian head Massage

Reflexology

or zone therapy, is the practice of massaging, squeezing, or pushing on parts of the feet, or sometimes the hands and ears, with the goal of encouraging a beneficial effect on other parts of the body, or to improve general health.

It is believed that that areas on the foot correspond to areas of the body, and that by manipulating these one can improve health.  It is also believed that  these zones reflect energy (Qi), and that blockages of energy in the body are reflected through "grit" or "lumps" on the foot.

A clinical reflexologist can often tell, simply by the conidtion of your feet where you may have problem in your body and it is not unusual to hear 'Have you got a problem with your right shoulder?' for instance.

Reiki is a form of spiritual practice used as a complementary therapy for the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental diseases. Mikao Usui developed Reiki in early 20th century Japan, where he said he received the ability of 'healing without energy depletion' after three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama.

Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, which they say channels "healing energy" (ki). Practitioners state that energy flows through their palms to bring about healing and that the method can be used for self-treatmen as well as treatment of others.

Our Reiki practitioner is Chris(tine) Ticehurst and several other therapists are trainied in Reiki

   Success Coaching

Success Coaching is a process of focusing and fine tuning to ensure that you are getting where you want to be - even if at the beginning of the sessions you don't know where that is!   It about you finding your own way within a supported relationship, rather then someone guiding you.

  Metabolic Typing

 Seeks to determine how you metabolize your food following simple test. Once your type is known you can then be given a recommended food list for your type and guidelines to help you fine tune your diet to give you optimum benefits. The method in all cases will recommend whole and natural foods and lifestyle changes may be relevant. Like all natural methods development is long term(mths rather than wks) and educational.
The great thing about MT is that it's a million miles from one size fits all diets in that you learn how to tailor your own diet, sometimes from meal to meal, to help with your specific health concerns. Once you have spent some time with MT you begin to realise that a lot of what is said about nutrition in mainstream can be nonsense! Why? Because it often fails to meet your needs.

  Nutritional Coaching

Nutrition is not about going on a 'diet'.   Diets are short term acts of sacrifice as you avoid your favourite foods temporarily always thinking 'I can't wait 'til this diet is over then I can have '*!$%^**'.

Nutrition uses the power of food with the help and support of a therapist to help you through the early stages of what should be a lifelong path to health and well-being - you can learn so much more. You don't have to think of food as your medicine either, as the old fable goes, as this makes you think food is medicine and tastes nasty! But you will start to think differntly about foods.

Nutritional Strategies are more about getting to know food and how it affects YOU! Using it to your advantage!

Discover those foods that make you feel better, perform better in all aspects of your life, achieve the look you would like and make sure you increase the quality of your life permenantly.  

Those who believe they are already on a healthy diet are often surprised at how nutritional therapy can still make such a difference.

Contact our Nutritional Therapist and ask how changes to your nutrition can help you.

Barry Todd is our Nutritional Therapist.

Colour Therapy

Your choice of colour and the colours you don't choose reflect the balance of energy within your body.
In a similar way to being unable to not communicate you cannot not choose a colour.  Colour can be used to help aid the healing process within your body and has been used successfully in burns units for instance where blue walls have been shown to speed up the recovery rate of severly burned children.

Imbalances in your body energies can result in your feeling not quite right but without there being anything consciously wrong and sometimes that is an inability to funcation to your maximum potential with one energy area of your life.

Colour therapy uses you choices of colour to aid the process followed by a period of energy therapy which might include light, coloured material or crystals.  The aim being to give you the option to take a more balanced approach to approaches to life.

Andrea Lowe is the colour therapist
