Suffolk’s premier centre of integrative
medicine and complementary therapies
WELLSPRING – the
name
A name for the centre was sought with a ‘water’
and ‘health’ aspect. The centre is in Lower ‘Brook’ Street and
leads down to the ‘Waterfront’ from Ipswich town centre.
Water is essential for life itself and it maintains a healthy
body. A ‘well’ is a deep source of water and also means 'in good
health'. A ‘spring’ is a source of water rising from the ground and
the beginning of a flow of water that can spread outwards to reach
many people.
Wellspring provides health and healing to those in Ipswich and the
surrounding area of Suffolk and East Anglia
WELLSPRING – the source
Desiree Shelley, Medical Herbalist, opened
Wellspring on July 18th 2005 as a place to practice herbal medicine
and to work collaboratively with like minded professionals.Once the
premises had been found a six month refurbishment programme got
underway. The result is a modest interior, which is warm and
welcoming from the reception area to each of the five individual
consulting rooms.
WELLSPRING – the ethos
All the therapists at Wellspring are
committed to offering health and healing to their clients. We all
work together for the benefit of the client and never work in
competition with each other.
Each therapist holds a nationally recognised qualification in
their area of expertise and are members of a professional
organisation that oversees their programme of continuing
professional development.
Potential clients are welcome to talk with their chosen therapist
on the telephone or for a short informal consultation at
Wellspring. We believe that it is important to feel comfortable
with the therapist to gain most benefit from the therapy. We are
also able to offer some taster therapies to try before you commit.
The more you know about your chosen therapy the more effective it
will be.
WELLSPRING - the vision
We see the centre as a tranquil haven where people come to
replenish their energies, seek solutions to their physical or
emotional problems, or maintain their good health. It is like the
first drop of water in a still pool that radiates ripples of
wellbeing from the centre out to an ever increasing
circumference.
WELLSPRING - the
future
There are many paths open to us all as we travel through life. As
a building, Wellspring stands firm in Lower Brook Street, offering
health and healing to all who take the path to our door.
When clients leave they take our principles of caring and kindness
into the outside world and so the ripples of our vision extends to
others.
In the future it is hoped that we will work closer, in an
integrated way, with our NHS colleagues and that we will take our
mission of health and healing to wherever we are led.
Kind regards,
Desiree Shelley
