Heather was also a partner from 2001 to 2004 in a busy well established Osteopathic Naturopathic and Acupuncture clinic in south west London.

OSTEOPATHY is an effective treatment for back, neck, shoulder, leg, arm, nerve, hand, wrist, foot, and other pain. Also sports injuries, headaches, sciatica, stiffness, musculoskeletal disorders, disc problems and many other conditions. An initial consultation involves taking a full medical history and then discussing a treatment plan suitable for the patient before proceeding. Many different techniques may be used, the patients comfort being of prime importance. Treatment may involve the mobilisation of muscles, joints, ligaments, and nerves to ease pain, stiffness, and inflammation. It can be used for both acute and chronic conditions.

VISCERAL osteopathy encompasses the treatment of the viscera (eg stomach, lungs, intestines)and is particularly useful for IBS bloating, indigestion, constipation and may be accompanied by the use of nutrition and herbal medicine.

CRANIAL osteopathy is a gentle technique using the body fluids and cellular memory to enable the body to heal. It is often used for babies and children, however, it is suitable for all ages. A serious cranial lesion in young children left uncorrected, may lead to structural problems in later life. ‘As the twig is bent so the tree grows’. It can be an effective treatment for acute pain, post operation, post illness, emotional and physical trauma, fatigue, headaches, stress induced conditions, and others.

NUTRITION is the foundation of good health. Without the required nutrients, we can impair the proper functioning of our body and maybe cause ourselves harm. The use of nutritional supplements along with herbal medicine can be both preventative as well as therapeutic.

These can be scientifically researched or based on traditional remedies; useful for digestive problems, IBS, womens health, sports medicine, well being, immune function, cholesterol, healthy circulation, colds, skin problems, and weight control to name a few.

Heather also advocates a healthy lifestyle and diet and offers ‘Stop Smoking’ and hypnotherapy sessions from her associate Crystal Hypnosis Clinic.

HEALING can be used to balance the aura and chakras, and is a good complement to the above therapies and conditions mentioned. It may involve cleansing and repairing the aura, and removing any negative influences.

It is usually calming and many people feel uplifted afterwards.
