Sam’s interest in health and bodywork began over 10 years ago through practising Tai Chi and Qigong. He was immediately fascinated with the concept of qi and how this energy interacts within people and the environment. This interest directed him down various routes of complementary medicine including kinesiology, reiki and massage.

His continued enthusiasm for Chinese philosophy inspired Sam to study Chinese medicine. Specialising in Traditional Chinese Medical acupuncture, Sam completed his acupuncture training at Westminster in London.

As a professional therapist Sam works as part of the multi-bed acupuncture team at treat, he has been an active acupuncturist for nearly 7 years. Treatments are aimed at uncovering the underlying cause of a patient’s symptoms and health concerns, helping the body to repair and re-balance naturally.

Gary qualified as a Pharmacist in 1984 and worked for large and small companies and eventually purchased my own. Due to interest in Martial Arts, I studied karate for a number of years after obtaining a black belt. I taught on many occasions from 1986.

I undertook an Acupuncture training in 1996. During this time I discovered Qi Gong & Tai Chi which I find gives people a way to support their own systems. I have been practising Qi Gong for the last 20 years and I am now undergoing my teacher training within the 5 Element System. Whilst studying acupuncture I also discovered Craniosacral Therapy and went on to qualify as a therapist in 2000.

I have deepened into the practice with many advanced courses over the years (Shock & Trauma, Prenatal Development Pregnancy; particularly in embryonic and cardiovascular work, Neuroendocrine & Immune System & Stress Response). This work allows a deepening mindful connection with our own inherent health to enable us to become more resourceful self-regulating and resilient.

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.

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)

A deeply relaxing talking therapy involving hypnosis which focuses a clients imagination and subconscious to help bring about positive changes and helps to resolve issues related to emotions, thoughts and behaviours.

Many of our resources and memories are stored in our unconscious and hypnosis can help us access these more easily, allowing us to draw upon more of our unconscious processes to resolve issues and overcome challenges.

Hypnotherapy is suitable for a range of issues including depression, anxiety, pain management , self-esteem issues, physical healing, trauma, bad habits and phobias, in addition to many other issues.

Hypnosis is a naturally-occurring state (a bit like day-dreaming) and it allows you to shift your attention from what is going on around you to what is going on within you.

Hypnotherapy can help you access more of your own internal resources, allowing you to process beyond the constraints that tend to exist within our conscious thinking. Hypnotherapy can also help clear the way for deeper processing and acceptance. You will remain in total control throughout your hypnotherapy session.

Your first appointment will be an initial consultation. This gives you the chance to ask any questions you may have, ensures that Jenny can understand what you are looking to achieve and provides the opportunity to discuss effective ways of working together. Following this initial consultation, if you decide to come for hypnotherapy, Jenny will continue to review how you work together each session and ensure the approach is always collaborative.

Jenny also offers a free, no obligation telephone consultation if you would like to have a chat prior to booking an initial appointment.

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.”
