Listed Treatments & Complementary Therapies

Acupressure
Acupressure is thought to be one of the oldest healing systems in the world, predating even acupuncture.
Acupunture
Traditional acupuncture, which has been in continuous use for nearly 4,000 years, treats not only your main complaint, it works on your overall health and vitality. For this reason, it is not unusual to find that, in addition to improving your main complaint, secondary problems, as well as sleeping, appetite, general energy levels and zest for life get better.
Allergy and Intollerance Testing
A food allergy can be defined as any adverse, and often immediate, reaction to food in which the immune system is involved.
Allergy Treatment
New treatments for skin complaints and asthma are among those to be considered for use across the NHS by the government’s drugs advisory body, as part of its next appraisal programme.
Animal Healing
Like humans animal can get into a state of imbalance. This imbalance may express itself as a physical illness or as an unfortunate change in behaviour. Animals have no human thoughts or feelings, although it sometimes seems that way. Sometimes we misunderstand what our animals need just because we give the human thoughts and feelings, and this can worsen the imbalance. With the help of healing it is possible to get through to your animal in a soft and gentle way. By supplying healing energy you create a possibility of balance. The healing will supply energy to your animal, which simultaneously will activate the self-recovery of the animal. At the same time the healer – through communicating with your animal – will be able to find the course of the imbalance as well as to what you as the owner can do for your animal. Healing is not only a treatment of symptoms.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils to promote well-being and restore harmony to the body, mind and soul. A professional Aromatherapist is trained in using and blending essential oils and thus creating specific remedies for various conditions, taking into account mental, emotional, physical and energetic states. Essential oils and aromatic plants have been used for healing purposes over thousands of years by all the great civilizations of the world. The recent popularity of aromatherapy oils is in fact a revival of an ancient healing art.
Baby Massage
Babies simply love to be touched. In fact, they thrive on it — it's a critical part of growth and development. All that skin-to-skin contact not only helps you and your baby bond, it can comfort your baby when he's upset and sometimes ease the symptoms of colic.
Baby Reflex
This therapy is absolutely wonderful in helping babies and children. Reflexes on the feet are very gently stimulated to relieve colic, teething problems and for calming and relaxing baby. Parents can be taught to treat their babies by a qualified baby Reflexologist. Teaching can be on a one to one basis or a group of parents.
Bach Flower Remedies
A simple healing system devised by Dr Edward Bach in the early 1930s. The Bach Original Flower Remedies are 38 plant and flower based remedies that can help people to manage the emotional demands of everyday life. Each remedy aids a specific emotion. When a person is out of balance the remedies can redress this balance. Recent research into the links between emotions and the immune system supports the view that emotional and physical health are linked. In todays way of life we all need something to help us and this is a system that is so simple.
Between Lives and Birth

Colour Therapy Healing
We all have our favourite colours and colours we dont particularly like. There are reasons for this. We have life experiences all the time, these will involve colour. A negative life experience will make us dislike a particular colour just as a positive experience involving a particular colour will make us feel more warm to that colour. A strong adversion to a certain colour can imply that there is an imbalance in that particular area of the body. Our repsonses to colours can tell us a great deal about our personality and also about what is going on in our lives at that time, it also shows us what lessons we are learning and gives us help about how to reach our goals.

Energy Interference Patterning Vibrational Healing
EIP is based on the premise that we store and carry emotions in our cells and that these stored emotions can have a negative affect on our lives. Scientists are now proving this to be true. When we encounter situations that create a negative emotional response a thought pattern is created. This thought pattern is then stored in our cells. EIP raises awareness of these thought patterns which may be causing dis- eases within our body or attracting difficult lessons or relationships in our lives and helps us to release them. It is these negative thought patterns which create our experiences and attract to us people and situations that will reflect and confirm this pattern. For example if you hold the patterning that you cannot trust people you will constantly attract people into your life who you feel are untrustworthy.
