Acupuncture
There is evidence that acupuncture was being used up to 3,000 years ago. It is the insertion of fine solid needles at certain points on the body to alter function.
Western medicine acknowledges a role for acupuncture, and trials have shown it to be of benefit in conditions as diverse as infertility to knee pain and migraines. Acupuncture has been shown to stimulate the body to release endorphins and cortisol, thus providing a role in pain management.
Acupuncture is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Bach Flower Remedies
Bach Flower Essences work by working on the individual rather than the disease or its symptoms. The purpose of the remedies is to support your fight against illness by addressing emotional factors such as depression, anxiety and trauma that are thought to impede physical healing. They can also be used preventatively at times of anxiety and stress and are particularly helpful for the many people who feel generally tired and unwell without a specific medical diagnosis. A combination of remedies is put together specifically for your individual needs.

Bowen technique
Bowen is performed through light clothing using thumbs and fingers on precise points on the body. Rolling movements are made which aim to disturb the muscle, soft tissue and energy within the body. There are periods in which the client is left resting, this allows the body to make the changes and adjustments needed to reduce pain, relieve tension and initiate the healing process.

Confidence Coaching
Confidence coaching helps you to take back control of your life. Change starts from within and confidence coaching focuses on developing your self esteem and your self awareness - your core foundations. You will discover how well you really know yourself by becoming aware of your habitual patterns of thoughts, language and behaviours. Once you are aware of them you can then decide whether they support or hinder you and with the support of your coach, begin to make the necessary changes to put you back in the drivers seat of your own life.

Counselling
At times people seek counselling for life crisis, past traumas, relationship difficulties or emotional issues. A counsellor offers a safe environment from which to explore and journey to where their client wishes to be. With a better understanding and new skills they can deal differently with things as they arise.
