Holistic Therapies
Alongside working as a clinical physiotherapist for 25 years, I have also offered holistic treatments to patients both in an at-home and clinical setting. Where patients are open to it, I tend to combine physiotherapy with one or more alternative therapies. Time and time again we see remarkable results when working in this way – combining clinical techniques and treatments supported with holistic therapies.
Although traditionally holistic therapies were not accepted by the medical community, they are increasingly being prescribed alongside allopathic treatments as clinicians begin to see the benefits of ‘alternative therapies’ – as I have myself. Now things are slowly changing – and I’m proud to be at the forefront of that as our name suggests! Holistic treatments offer patients greater flexibility and choice in their care, along with having fewer side effects and being minimally invasive with the added benefit of relaxation.
I offer a variety of holistic therapies both in conjunction with and independent of physiotherapy. To learn more about any of the therapies I offer or to book a consultation, please get in touch.
Clinical Aromatherapy
Clinical Aromatherapy involves using therapeutic grade essential oils to help to calm and balance body and mind. Each individual oil has a different effect on the body, from relieving symptoms of menopause to reducing anxiety.
Clinical Reflexology
Non-invasive and deeply relaxing, reflexology is a holistic treatment that can be used to benefit patients with many different conditions. During reflexology pressure is applied at specific points on the feet to stimulate various areas of the body, promoting balance and wellbeing as well as increasing circulation and reducing stress and tension.
Reflexology Lymph Drainage
A specialist type of reflexology, focused on lymphatic drainage which removes waste and toxins from the body. This is especially beneficial for patients with chronic illness such as fibromyalgia, cancer, lymphoedema and arthritis.

Reiki is a type of energy healing developed in Japan which is designed to stimulate emotional and physical healing. Using light touch and hands placed on or over the body, universal energy is channelled to help relieve pain and anxiety, reduce stress and promote emotional healing.
