Practitioners
Acupuncture
Nicola Scholes
Following a career in nursing and midwifery, Nicola began practicing Acupuncture in 2000. Traditional acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles which go back nearly two thousand years. The aim is to restore natural equilibrium. It is very well suited to modern life because it views the body as a whole and is based on the premis that physical, emotional and mental wellbeing are interlinked and that pain and illness are signs that the body is out of balance.

Osteopathy
Mandy Banton
Osteopathy is a system of manual medicine that focuses primarily on the musculoskeletal system. Using many of the diagnostic approaches applied in conventional medicine, osteopaths try to establish the structural cause of physical symptoms and use techniques to restore the optimal function of the body without the use of drugs or surgery.
Osteopathic treatment aims to relieve pain, improve function and promote healing, as well as reducing the likelihood of problems recurring. It has proven to be very effective in the treatment of, for example, sports injury, work strain, backache and joint pain.

Shiatsu
Liz Pavey
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing hands-on healing art originating in Japan and informed by Chinese Medicine. Shiatsu can help to restore balance on physical, mental and emotional levels. It works with the body’s natural propensity for health through encouraging effective flow of Ki (vital energy) throughout the body. Fully clothed, the receiver lies on a futon while relaxed pressure, gentle manipulation and stretches are applied to their body. Receiving shiatsu can help to alleviate stress and illness, increase vitality, and maintain health and wellbeing.
