Following a legal career, George instigated some fundamental changes in his life and began to work in the Health and Social care sector with people who had suffered a traumatic spinal injury. He also worked alongside clients struggling with progressive degenerative conditions and with others at the very end of their lives.

During this time, George became aware of massage as a form of therapy. He was impressed with its healing value and, in particular, the positive impact it has on physical health and mental well-being. He also found that people responded well to him as a Carer, his calm and personable demeanour relaxed and comforted his clients.

In June 2015, George went on to obtain the ITEC Level 4 Sports Massage qualification. Since then, he has been steadily building a reputation for consistently delivering high quality massage focussed on meeting the needs of his clients. He enjoys event work, particularly if the weather is good, and embraces opportunities for professional development.

George works to maintain a high level of physical fitness and is committed to the study of Tai Chi. This Chinese martial art focuses on self-awareness through movement, like a form of active meditation. Awareness of his body’s positioning has helped George improve his posture and resolve his own back pain, thus promoting his longevity as a Massage Therapist.

For George, Massage Therapy is key to achieving his ambition: to facilitate anybody, athlete or otherwise, to achieve their optimum. He can help you to prevent injuries and promote recovery: to enhance your performance, promote your self-confidence, and provide you with some guilt free headspace in which to unwind.

Joan has 40 years of midwifery experience include attending numerous home births in a ten year spell as a community midwife. She still practices as a midwife, is an antenatal leader, supporter of the fourth trimester and has founded Hypnobirthday her own hypnobirthing teaching service. She has trained in hypnobirthing with Marie Mongan’s internationally recognised hypnobirthing movement and with HYPNOBIRTHMIDWIVESUK

Joan writes:

I have always been in awe of the ability of birthing mothers, each having their own journey and story to tell. However my fascination is with each mothers approach to the birthing process. Many women are calm and focused and have the ability to work with their body while others are terrified and appear to be experiencing excessive pain. I knew that if each mother had the right support she could have a more tranquil and rewarding experience while welcoming her baby in to a calm world.

How do I know this?

I have witnessed the extremes of childbirth too many times for there not to be a reason why some mothers have an amazing experience whilst others can be traumatised. Learning about hypnobirthing gave me the answers - it brought it all came together - the ability for Mothers, birth partners and midwives to gain the knowledge to have a complete team approach to child birth and enhancing the birth experience.”

Liz is a licensed acupuncture practitioner, gaining a BSc (Hons) Degree in Acupuncture from the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (CICM) in Reading in 2019. She practices an integrated approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture. Liz specialises in treating children, holding a Diploma in Paediatric Acupuncture (2022). Liz is fully regulated and insured with the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) Liz has a special interest in a variety of conditions, particularly post-operative pain, circulatory conditions, digestive complaints, headaches and migraines, menopause and menstrual health. Liz enjoys being able to offer multibed treatments to make frequent treatment more affordable to those who would otherwise be unable to access holistic healthcare. Liz uses a combined approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture. Classical Five Element acupuncture is based on the Five Elements of nature: fire, earth, metal, water and wood. Each of these five elements is within each of us and symptoms and diseases occur when these elements become unbalanced. Treatment using the Five Elements deals with the underlying causes of disease rather than just treating the symptoms. The aim of Five Element acupuncture is to bring each of the elements back into balance to prevent disease from reoccurring. Liz believes a collaborated approach to care improves the health and wellbeing of individuals and so is always happy to speak with your other healthcare providers and work alongside them and with you reviewing treatment often to ensure your symptoms are improving and you have all the information available to you to take ownership of your health. When Liz became a mother of two this sparked her interest in how acupuncture could help young people. Liz recently completed a Diploma in Paediatric Acupuncture and now specialises in the treatment of children and young people. Liz will treat babies from newborn and uses a very gentle approach and has many non-needle techniques to help restore balance in the body. This may include Tui- Na massage which can be taught to parents / carers to use at home and in- between treatments. A childs Qi is so vital that minimal intervention is needed. Usually only one or two needles may be used on very small children if at all. Small stick-on seeds or tiny pyonex can be used instead if the child isn’t sure about having needles. Liz aims to make the child as comfortable and relaxed as possible, hoping that acupuncture is a time in the week the child looks forward to. There is a collection of toys and books in the treatment room and she is always happy to speak to the parent before the consultation to talk though any concerns, and anything that would be easier to discuss without the child present. Liz fully understands how much the wellbeing of a child can have an effect on the whole family. Liz holds a space for everyone to come and take a breath and work together towards restoring balance. If you have any questions or would like to know if treatment would be suitable for your child, please do not hesitate to email Liz to arrange a phone call at liz@ldacu.co.uk. Liz is a member of the international Hub of Paedatric Acupuncture (HOPA) which has a great section for parents explaining the benefits of acupuncture for children. https://paediatricacupuncture.com/for-parents/ (add a click here link)
