FAQ
Q: What ages do I treat?
A: From newborn upwards.
​
Q: Will it be uncomfortable for my baby?
A: Baby and child osteopathy is very gentle, and if there is any sign the baby is unhappy I stop or adjust my techniques. As the parent you are in control, and I will be guided by you.
​
Q: What does a neonatal check involved?
A: I will take a full history of the pregnancy and delivery; including a thorough examination including reflexes, feet and hip position, and head shape. If needed I also assess the tongue.
​
Q: Will my baby or child need to get undressed?
A: For the initial session it is preferable to be able to see the babies body (nappies are kept on). However, some babies don’t like being without clothes, so after the initial observation clothes can be put back on to make your baby feel more settled. Young children tend to not want to undress so we work on an individual basis, again as the parent you are in charge.

Craniosacral Therapy was developed through Osteopathy and is informed by anatomy and physiology and works on the principle that given the right conditions the body has the potential to heal itself from physical and emotional trauma.

Clients often seek craniosacral Therapy for complaints such as back pain, jaw pain, headaches and migraines, digestive issues, disrupted sleep, low self confidence and self esteem, a feeling of overwhelm, PTSD and more.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing method, its roots stretch to more than 2000 years but it was made accesible and popular by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century.
The world we live in is pure energy, everything that exist is energy, as proven by Quantum Physics. This energy nourishes and maintain all living things.
When this energy flows uninterrupted, there is balance and harmony within, therefore a sence of well being. It is understood that when this flow is interrupted, Reiki can help restore balance on many levels( emotional, spiritual, mental and physical) .
There are no known contraindications to Reiki.

Benefits
Research has shown suggested benefits for pre and post surgery, mental health, fatigue and anxiety. Currently some hospitals on the NHS offer Reiki as an alternative therapy for many conditions and employ a full time Reiki practitioner.

What to expect in a treatment?
The first thing a client experiences is relaxation, which is the natural state of the human body.
A client remains fully clothed at all times and lies on a couch or sits straight on a chair and relaxes.
Usually there is a practitioner who places his/her hands non intrusively on or over the body. There is no massage or manipulation involved. It is also possible to receive Reiki at a distance.
Reiki practitioners are not trained to diagnose, therefore no diagnosis or prognosis should be given by any practitioner.
During treatment, clients may experience feelings of cold or heat, tingling, however the major benefit reported by clients is deep relaxation promoting a sense of calmness, peacefulness and wellbeing on all levels.
