Testimonials:
Hi Jean,
Through your hypnotherapy of which I had two sessions, I have now lost two stone. I usually start to stray after I have lost a stone, but this time I am staying on track. I have dieted for the last 30 years and have never lost this much weight, I usually go on holiday and cannot get back on track, I have just had 10 days on holiday and started to watch my weight half way through the holiday and have only put 2lbs on, I know I will lose this. Thanks for all your help Jean, I know if I had not come to you I would still be carrying this extra weight.
Thanks again Jean
Mrs. C. H.
"I receive regular massage therapies from Jean, the whole experience is wonderful from the minute I go in the door. Her treatment room is blissfully peaceful and serene and a lot of effort goes into getting things just right including the choice of oils and the background music. My chill out times are amazing and I have found them of great value in combating stress I so look forward to my visits and would highly recommend Jean as a sensitive, experienced therapist with an amazing ability to put people at their ease."

Treatments & Training
Reiki
The increasingly fast pace of modern life can often leave us with little time for relaxation – in fact for some, relaxation is fast becoming a long forgotten art! Many people are now enjoying Reiki as a means to achieving this much needed deep relaxation – while at the same time gaining the many benefits it brings.
Reiki is a Japanese word which translated means 'Universal Life Force Energy' and refers to the energy that is all around us and in all living things. During a Reiki treatment, this vital energy is drawn through the practitioner, and flows through their hands into the receivers' body creating an opportunity for the body's own natural rebalancing processes to come into action.
Everyone has their own unique experience during a Reiki treatment - the results will depend on what your body needs at the time - but the common factor to all is the deep relaxation and peace that Reiki brings. This simple, gentle, yet powerful treatment is always offered for your highest good.
The effects of a Reiki treatment can be long lasting and you might just want occasional sessions to relax and re-balance, but most people prefer to have a course of treatments, over a period of four to six weeks.
I’ve been working with Reiki for 12 years now and it still continues to amaze and inspire me, why not call me to learn more about how Reiki could help you!
It should be noted that Reiki is not a substitute for conventional medical treatment or medication.

Reiki for Horses
Just as we ourselves enjoy an opportunity to switch off and relax, so does your horse – with Reiki we can help him achieve this experience. Reiki is especially suitable as a Holistic Therapy for horses – its gentle techniques help to bring about a feeling of peaceful relaxation and well-being whilst helping to relieve stress and anxiety.
Your horse doesn’t need to be ill or have a problem – he could benefit from Reiki for his general health, relaxation and well being - so why not treat him to a session just because you love him! I’m unable to describe here all the many ways that Reiki could help you and your horse so please call me for more details and a no obligation telephone consultation about how it could benefit him.
Whilst Reiki is not a substitute for veterinary treatment, it is perfectly safe, and with your vets’ approval, can be used alongside any treatment being given.
I can also initiate you into Reiki so that you’re able to use it as often as necessary for both your own and your horses’ well being and to enjoy the pleasant sensations it creates. In giving Reiki to your own horse you could increase your bond and experience communication and understanding on a higher level than ever before. Please ask me for details of my training courses.

Seated Acupressure Massage
Seated Acupressure Massage is based on a 1500 year old Japanese ANMA massage technique. The massage sequence we use is known as the 'Kata' and works specifically on stress release points on the neck, head, shoulders, arms and back, areas where the majority of tension and aches and pains are felt. To receive this massage you are seated on a specially designed chair that fully and comfortably supports your body.
This treatment, known as the 'Immediate stress buster!' is perfect to bring into the workplace - the full session takes only 30 minutes maximum with there being no need to remove any clothing for the treatment to be effective. Another benefit of OSAM is that it leaves you in a state of 'Alert Relaxation' and ready to continue with your work in a calm and focused state of mind and body.
I have been called on to provide OSAM in many and varied situations as well as in the workplace and office environment. These locations have ranged from farms and equestrian establishments (this treatment is especially beneficial to riders) to charity functions as a popular fundraiser. I have also provided this fabulous treatment at sports events to help competitors stay calm and focused before their performance with amazingly successful results.

Emotrance
We all have feelings - feelings are a vital part of our lives. They usually come and go without any problems. However, there may be times when certain negative feelings get stuck within us and can cause real physical and emotional pain if allowed to build up one on top of another.
These negative memories and feelings stimulate our biochemistry to release signals that can cause tension and anxiety, but what we are actually feeling is just energy. With Emotrance we can encourage this negative energy to release and dissolve away, flowing out through its natural energy channels. Working together with positive intentions we will find the pathways for these energies to flow freely from the body to leave you feeling so much better, both physically and emotionally.
Emotrance is a gentle technique, not hypnotherapy, just a simple way to help you clear negative feelings and energies and restore a state of inner well being.
So simple, yet so successful.
