Complementary Therapies to Enhance Your Wellbeing

Complementary therapies are non-traditional physical healing practices that tap into the mind-body connection and help you access your body’s own inherent ability to shift energy, boost mood and ease pain. Or they can, quite simply, act as a means to cultivate a profound state of relaxation when stress prevails.

We all relax in different ways, and our approach towards alternative therapy should be no different. Our expert therapists offer a bespoke service based on your own unique requirements, so you can embrace the spirit of trying something new with the confidence that your needs are being met. Since relaxation is the aim of the game, all you need to do now is choose the therapy that best resonates with you. Could you be about to meet your new wellbeing fix?

We know that plants can be a powerful force for healing, but have you tried tapping into the energetic fields of flowers to reach your wellbeing goals?

This ever-popular traditional Chinese medicine technique is used to balance the energy flowing through meridians (pathways) in the body, and is also used in Western medicine to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue which acts as a natural painkiller.

This bodywork technique might be gentle, but it can have a mighty effect on many avenues of wellbeing.
