Nutritional Therapy with Charlotte Kinder (mBANT)
“Charlotte has changed the way I think and approach food, and in fact my whole life. As a doctor I thought I was healthy, but in just one consultation she opened my eyes to how my body was using my food and what it was doing to me – and it totally threw me. I now know why my body has been out of sync with my diet since being a teenager! I highly recommend a consultation with Charlotte to anyone. I will be going to see her again and again, she’s my guardian angel.”

Alexander Technique with Julia Woodman
Clinical Massage with Kerry Oliver
Dear Kerry, When you treated my shoulder, the pain had become so bad that it was very hard for me to move my arm. Putting on a jacket could cause excruciating pain and I had been finding ways to use that arm as little as possible. After you worked very specifically on the problem areas, I could hardly believe that the awful pain had gone. I am so grateful for this on two counts….. Firstly, I would not have thought that massage therapy would have helped such a painful condition and, secondly, I have no doubt in my mind that, had I not seen you when I did, I would have had to take time off work – the pain really had got that bad. Evelyn, Admin worker
Bowen Technique with Caroline Madden
I turned to Bowen when suffering from headaches, low energy and a sluggish heavy feeling in my legs. The headaches lifted after the initial session and by the third my energy and motivation was greatly increased. A subsequent session gave me relief within in a day from pre-menstrual discomfort and bloating which normally lasts for several days. K Lamont, Age 38, Speech & Language Therapist
Holistic Massage with Laura Plumb
‘I have had several massages with Laura at Massage Focus. She is excellent. It really helped with the back and hip pain I was experiencing. Laura listens carefully, is thorough, friendly, professional and very good at massage. I would highly recommend her.’

Alexander technique client stories
Sharon Baddeley, Photographer − came for lessons because of neck and upper back pain and for posture ‘I decided to try Alexander Technique lessons after suffering from neck and upper back pain for over a year. I was also concerned about my posture; I had always ‘slumped’ a bit, but I felt that it … Continue reading Alexander technique client stories
I came due to doing a desk job, experiencing anxiety and generally to get more grounded. I found Julia to be a brilliant teacher for anyone new to the Alexander Technique, wanting to try it to see if it is for them, or anyone returning to learn. Julia is experienced, friendly, works from both a mind and body perspective, listens about your typical activities and helps work with who you are, not what any doctrine says, to integrate the technique in a practical, accessible manner. I was surprised at how quickly I picked it up and was able to work with it between lessons. Highly recommended. After just 6 lessons I feel more positive, grounded, balanced, bodily aware and aware of how my habits have gotten in the way of good posture.
