Complementary Therapy
Complementary therapies are a range of therapeutic treatments that work alongside the conventional medicine that you receive from your doctor to support your wellbeing. A Complementary Therapist practises holistically and therefore takes into account symptoms of the mind and body and will consider all aspects of an individual’s lifestyle, including diet and work life balance.
Many people use remedial massage therapies to support a huge variety of health concerns from debilitating headaches, the draining effects of anxiety and stress, and helping to cope with the emotional and physical symptoms relating to prolonged illness of Cancer and Cancer treatment.
The benefits of Complementary Therapies have become more widely recognised in recent years and are used in a variety of different healthcare settings to assist our mind and the body’s natural performance, by helping us to relax and unwind enabling restoration and a feeling of being better.

Your first treatment
This will include a consultation free of charge to inform you about your chosen treatment and to allow me to learn a little about you. We will create a treatment plan together which will be reviewed after your sessions. I practise in a Holistic way and consider all aspects of your life to support your wellbeing; therefore we will discuss medical history as well as diet and lifestyle. Everything that is discussed during your appointments is fully confidential.
I work from home in a safe, peaceful and relaxed environment and your comfort and care is my priority. Home visits can be arranged for small groups of people and for clients who may have difficulty getting out. Additional charges may apply for me to travel longer distances from my base and this will be discussed and agreed prior to my visit. All treatments offered can be adapted or mixed in any way to suit your personal requirements.
