Who do we support?

Holistic therapies for long-term health conditions

In your first consultation, we'll listen to what you are experiencing, consider your wider health and medical care, and recommend an approach that feels comfortable and manageable.

​​

​One week, your priority might be pain and muscular tension. The next, you may need a gentler session focused on rest, sleep or emotional wellbeing. Your treatment plan will move with you and, where appropriate, we may combine several therapies to provide the most suitable support.

Reflexology

Acupuncture

Reflexology applies gentle pressure to specific areas of the body, typically the feet, creating a relaxing experience that may help settle the body’s stress response. When pain or fatigue  place the body under continual strain, this non-invasive treatment provides space to release tension, rest and feel better able to cope.

Acupuncture stimulates the body to produce endorphins and serotonin, which are the body's own pain and stress relieving chemicals. This may help manage persistent pain, headaches and muscular tension while also supporting relaxation and better sleep.*

CranioSacral Therapy

Using an exceptionally light touch, CranioSacral Therapy works with the head, spine and sacrum to reduce held tension and encourage your body's ability to heal. For clients living with persistent pain, headaches or fatigue, it can help you to feel more comfortable day to day.

Combined Treatments

With several therapies available under one roof, we can thoughtfully combine treatments to create a truly personalised approach. Where appropriate, this may include supportive techniques such as Fire Cupping or Red Light Therapy for lymphatic support, depending on your symptoms and needs.

How we've supported clients with chronic conditions

Bev, 5* Google Review

"Jo is an amazing lady. She puts you at ease and is just so knowledgable. She works really hard to find a solution to whatever issue you have. I have been suffering acute back pain for over two years which has really affected my quality of life. I have tried everything from physiotherapy to really strong painkillers and have had no relief from the pain. Jo performed acupuncture on me and it’s was literally like a miracle. I walked from her clinic completely pain free. My back pain has been complex and evolving and she has listened and understood everything I have told her and found a solution. I am so so grateful to her and feel that she has given me back my quality of life which is priceless . Thank you Jo xx"
