Reiki

Encourages deep relaxation – Reiki (‘ray-key’) is a Japanese healing system which is non-invasive and natural, working with the body’s own energies. A Reiki session is usually given on a massage table, with the client fully clothed.

Herbal Medicine

After an initial consultation (~ one hour) the herbalist prepares a remedy for the patient based on the information provided. Repeat visits are usually every 3-4 weeks. Herbalists aim to treat patients holistically to achieve the best results, getting to the root cause of the problem and not simply relieving symptoms. They encourage patients to play an active role in their own well-being. Herbal medicines are natural products with few side effects, however they are powerful so self-medicating is not recommended. Herbalists are trained to know which herbs can be used safely with other medication and they can work in partnership with your GP or other healthcare provider if you wish. Members of the National Institute of Herbal Medicine (MNIMH) have completed a stringent training programme, follow a strict code of ethics and are required to remain up to date through Continuing Professional Development. (See the NIMH website for more information).
