Pregnancy can be a wonderful time – one when your body undergoes many natural changes to accommodate a growing new life. A woman’s body changes during pregnancy. Those changes include the softening of ligaments, weight increase and changes to posture. That can lead to additional pressure on joints in various parts of the body, including the spine or pelvis can cause discomfort, back and pelvis pain. Other discomforts such as nausea and digestive issues can interfere with what should be a happy and exciting time. Osteopathy may help relieve the stresses and strains on your body during pregnancy and after birth by using gentle hands-on techniques to ease those aches and pains, and advice on how to maintain a strong and healthy body, both before and after the birth delivery by engaging with local health visitors and midwives. We are trained to screen for medical conditions and will tell you if you need to see another health professional such as your doctor or midwife. We do work alongside lactation consultants to give postural advice related to breastfeeding (See our Dr Silvia Pierini in House)
Babies & Toddlers
Osteopathic care can also help your baby or child grow up healthy and happy. We are qualified to work with babies and children. Babies’ skeletons are softer than an adult’s and we will therefore use gentler techniques such as cranial osteopathy when treating babies. Osteopathy is a gentle treatment suitable for children and babies which could help soothe and relax your baby. Osteopathic techniques are suitable for children at all stages of development; I will assess your child to see what might help. Cranial techniques are safe, gentle, and non-manipulative. They are often used when treating young children and newborn infants.
Our osteopathic services will work with baby and child through all stages of their treatment plans via continuous communication and in-depth examinations in a relaxing and soothing atmosphere, ensuring parents and children are all happy every step of the way.

Nutrition & Health Coaching
An NC plays a vital role in motivation. My role is to bridge the desire to be healthy with actually putting the steps in place to get there and be healthy. Many clients know what they have to do to be healthy or lose weight. As an NC, I help people identify the barriers and self-sabotaging habits that keep them from starting or sticking with a health plan through various coaching techniques. I provide general dietary information and then work out a plan to make sure the client follows through. Nutrition is a topic that lends itself well to people looking to become healthier and overcome chronic illness and pain.

Massage, your trusted Therapist
Touch is the first sense to develop and the primary means of proving love to a person.
The skin is the largest sensory organ in our body and it is also a huge sensor packed with nerves for keeping the brain in touch with the outside world.
Meet our TherapistsRelaxing
Every massage can be tailored to suit your individual needs and will focus on nurturing and calming the body and mind. It can be great for those who have had a hard working week, are in need of some quick stress relief, or for those who just deserve a pamper.
Pregnancy
Massage therapy can be a wonderful complementary choice for pre-natal care, and can also relieve many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backache, a stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling).
Pregnancy massage can also reduce stress on weight-bearing joints, encourage blood and lymph circulation, relax nervous tension for better sleep, and help relieve depression or anxiety triggered by hormonal changes.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of massage that encourages the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels (peristalsis) and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Manual lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure (less than 9 ounces per square inch or about 4 kPa) and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.
Sports Massage and Myofascial Release
Sports massage is a deep form of soft tissue mobilisation that can be applied in both sporting and non-sporting context; it involves a wide range of techniques used for general relaxation of the muscular skeletal system as well as being directed towards any problematic areas. Sports massage helps relieve muscular tension, break down adhesion's mobilise soft tissues and reduce pain.
Traditional Thai Massage
Traditional Thai massage is an ancient healing system that combines broad and targeted acupressure, stimulation and manipulation of energy lines called sen, and assisted yoga postures.Traditional Thai massage rarely uses oils or lotions, and the recipient remains clothed during a treatment.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a type of massage that involves applying different amounts of pressure to the feet, hands, and ears. It's based on a theory that these body parts are connected to certain organs and body systems.
Soft Tissue Release & Trigger Points
Soft tissue release (or STR massage) is a technique of assisted stretching of muscle fibres, tendon and fascia. STR involves repeatedly and quickly stretching small areas of the soft tissue. Precise pressure is applied to part of the muscle which is then moved to achieve a very specific stretch.
