	Fran Doidge B.Sc Your body benefits from the specialist expertise of strong, sensitive hands and my passion for Remedial massage (sorts out muscles, tendons and joints) and aromatherapy (add the essential oils for both deep massage and relaxation) You are in safe hands ~ BSc in Physiology and Biochemistry (Reading) and an NHS laboratory biochemist and membership of the largest aromatherapy organisation in the UK. I can help you with whatever you present or know to whom I can refer. Your first visit; From the initial consultation I understand your underlying health issues and create a treatment plan including probable length of treatment and any essential oils which are blended on the spot ~ you take the blend of essential oils home with you. You will be able to undress in privacy and will enjoy the warm towels and music (where requested). I combine; 1) 20 years experience in massage, aromatherapy and healing 2) knowledge about your condition and presenting symptoms 3) my naturally caring, professional and confident nature to give you an in-depth treatment solution. I encourage you to continue your treatment at home with helpful tips, exercises and simple massage instructions which you can use at home using the blend of essential oils provided. combining science with sensitivity. Every day I see great improvements by adding to the treatment a combination of creative visualisation techniques (I promise you will find your own pictures) and positive statements which enhance the effects of the essential oils and can empower you. I also use these skills during the workshops which I run for you. My particular interest is how massage and aromatherapy balance the chemical messengers which are produced by the cells of your body and which fine tune your body’s many responses. These chemical messengers respond well to both visualisation and the essential oils as well. You will experience a real feeling of relaxation, relief and ease ~ the opposite of dis-ease ~ within the body. I've seen tremendous results with M.E, with stubborn back, shoulder or wrist pain which other health professionals have not been able to shift and with confused emotional states when the emotions can be trapped within the body

		Allison Prebble Allison is dedicated to prevention as well as to alleviating the condition. She is able to help clients more effectively if each person commits to self-help and improving their health regime. Allison works well with deep issues, identifying imbalances in the body by monitoring your ability to hold your muscles against light pressure "muscle testing", and advises you on any food intolerances. Allison also uses flower remedies which help balance emotions. In a Kinesiology treatment the Allison uses the client’s muscles to give bio-feedback from the body about the cause of the problems being experienced and the solution to these. Allison is a systematic Kinesiologist which means that for any one issue she checks all possible causes be they structural, biochemical (e.g. nutritional deficiencies, intolerances), emotional or energetic (e.g. dehydration).
	For example if you have bloating, constipation or IBS and you’ve changed your diet but are still having symptoms then there could well be an underlying issues such as candida albicans that diet alone is not addressing. Allison uses biochemical markers to establish causes and then tests for which supplements (e.g. vitamins, minerals, herbs) will start to eradicate the problem. Allison has treated people as young as 2 months old and as mature as 86. Kinesiology is all about balance, making sure that one of your organs isn’t working overtime to compensate for another that is under par. As many conditions have an underlying biochemical imbalance, Allison may well recommend you to take supplements for a few weeks as part of your treatment.
		Kelda White MA (hons), LHC Homeopath www.keldawhite.co.uk Homeopathy changed my life so it seemed natural for me to train as a homeopath in order to help others. Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of healing. The treatment focuses on you as an individual to help you through changes and imbalances in your life, restoring your body to health for long lasting benefits. How does Homeopathy work? Homeopaths treat disease using very low dose preparations administered according to the principle that "like should be cured with like." Practitioners use highly diluted substances that would, if given undiluted to a healthy volunteer, cause the symptoms which the patient is experiencing. For example, the homeopathic remedy Apis is derived from bee sting. If someone is stung by a bee, they might expect an area of pink or red, painful swelling to occur. Apis can be used to treat similar symptoms in patients, in conditions such as oedema, bites or spots. Homeopathy can be used to successfully treat almost anything from stress or depression to high blood pressure, allergies, period problems, giving up smoking and more. Once initial health problems have been resolved through these regular appointments, I welcome patients on a low cost maintenance programme to deal with acute problems such as coughs, colds, toothache, headaches, period pains, upset stomachs, childhood illnesses, minor accidents, infections, exam nerves etc. o Free at point of use. o Homeopathic advice as needed - no appointments required. o Acute consultations by ‘phone. o Top up of personal first aid kits. o FREE face to face appointment every 6 months to catch up. This service costs just £10 per single member, with discounts for family groups. Prices (please contact me for group or family discounts) I also offer discounts to those with a low income. Giving you the treatment you need is important to me. First appointment (allow an hour and a half): £55 Follow up appointments (allow half an hour): £35

	Ced Jackson Ced has studied many healing techniques, both environmental, and personal. He is a member of the Professional Register of both the British Society of Dowsers, and the Feng Shui Society. Well being is influenced both by environmental factors, and also our personal history and constitution. If a house does not provide a comfortable environment for its occupants, stress can result, perhaps resulting in poor quality sleep, and the lowering of resistance to external influences. Changes can be made which can improve the situation, using techniques which relieve stress, and allow the energy in the property ~ and the person ~ to flow more easily. Home consultations are available, during which your property would be checked for detrimental influences, and subsequently cleared of these problems by a combination of dowsing, Feng Shui and related approaches. Consultations can often last between two and four hours, due to the range of material covered. Fees for such a consultation in the Malvern area are around £150 for a typical home.
		Ced has written a number of articles on these subjects, several of which can be viewed on his website at www.FengShuiFutures.com In the local area, Ced has established Malvern Dowsers, a voluntary group where people can learn to dowse and explore their interest in dowsing and healing. Details of forthcoming events are on the web at www.MalvernDowsers.org Though Ced is a therapist linked to the Centre for Well Being, he usually works by visiting your home, and therefore is not normally present at the Centre. He can however be contacted via the Centre, or directly by phoning 01684 560265, or emailing Ced@FengShuiFutures.com

	Sioux Baker S.V.A, Dip.V.F.S.C.H., A.C.H.O	"I could not believe so much could have changed thanks to my crystal therapy" "I feel like I have been given a new lease of life" Depression anxiety stress related conditions low self esteem, exhaustion My special field is mental health (cognitive, behavioural emotional and physical) I worked for 18 years in mental health and social care and have studied psychology and depression. Helping my own son brought me to crystal therapy. The deep insight I gained is integral to my work now as a therapist. The consultation itself sometimes acts as a catalyst to bring about profound change. The energetics of the crystals which I select enable you to to release outmoded ways of behaviour or gain a deep insight into the cause of the problem. While you lie comfortably on the couch fully clothed, sometimes listening to relaxing music, the most appropriate crystals are placed on and around your body and you are taken through a relaxation routine. As you relax the crystals do their work.
