‘Through your hands I feel seen, supported and more connected with myself. You bring me back to who I really am.’

Suzanne, Family Therapist

‘I felt less in my head and more in my body, with a lovely sense of Just Being.’ 

A.F., College Administrator

‘When you suggested learning some exercises I didn’t think this would be for me. Now, I just don’t want to stop doing them!’

A.T., Shop Manager

‘After your massage, I feel a kind of connectedness and lightness. My mind is free; the pain and tension in my shoulders is released and everything is in better proportion.’

S.H., Chagford

For a number of years I have suffered with lower back pain brought on by a number of issues.  In seeking help, I’d tried everything to no avail.  I knew little about Bowen before experiencing it but was open to try anything to help with pain relief and thank goodness I did.  My experience with Bowen has been nothing but positive, helping me considerably.  Anna has continued to be an incredibly supportive, expert practitioner.

Cassie- Actress-York

I have suffered from tension headaches due to neck and shoulder tension for most of my adult years.  I tried different therapies which produced short term but not long term relief.  It was not until I tried Bowen Therapy with Anna that I found long term relief which needs only maintainence sessions about every 3 months.  For me this approach has worked.

Barbara – Brighton

“Having suffered from a bad back for a very long time and having tried almost everything out there, Bowen was suggested by a client of mine (I’m a Barber). 

This is no understatement, without Anna and Bowen therapy I don’t know where I would be. 

I highly recommend Anna and Bowen therapy to anyone that has issues with their body.”

 

Mark B

“Anna Walker and Bowen Technique was recommended to me by a friend as I had a knee issue. 

After the treatment I felt elated and also the most relaxed I’ve felt since I was a child.

My knee issue, (which had been ongoing for months and was so severe that I was not able to put any weight on it and had to be on crutches), was much improved after the first session and by the third session was completely healed.

I also noticed an overall improvement in my health in general. “

“I am so glad I discovered Bowen and Anna! 

It's like a one stop MOT shop for my body. 

From sorting out my carpal tunnel, to easing the stiffness from a broken wrist and much more besides. 

I have recommended Anna to many of my friends, family and colleagues and they have all, without exception, noticed fantastic results. 

Highly recommended.”

“Anna is simply amazing. Over the years I have had Bowen treatment from her to help with my recovery from M.E/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, migraines, insomnia and stress.  Bowen has given me effective and lasting relief from these things, as well as a great sense of well-being . I always leave feeling like myself again and am grateful to have found such a talented and skilled practitioner.  “

“I came to see Anna when I was at my wits end with persistent headaches and migraines.  They were often daily, and had become so debilitating that my GP referred me for an MRI scan.  When this came back clear, the only option left was strong daily medication, which I was told had limited chance of working. I was googling headaches when I came across Bowen. I had 3 sessions with Anna, but the effect was pretty immediate. The headaches just stopped. At first I found the sessions hard to get used to - they were so gentle, it barely felt like anything was happening, but I quickly came to love them. I would often feel tired at the end of a session, but also relaxed and calm. Since then I have continued to have Bowen every few months.  The headaches have never come back. I cannot recommend Bowen, and Anna, enough.”   

Anna F

From the moment you meet Anna you feel a sense of calm and understanding.
The treatment is delivered in a relaxed manner – in fact almost every time I go, I fall asleep!
I always feel much better after the treatment. Would highly recommend.

Bowen for ME/Chronic Fatigue

Anna is simply amazing. Over the years I have had Bowen treatment from her to help with my recovery from M.E/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, migraines, insomnia and stress.  Bowen has given me effective and lasting relief from these things, as well as a great sense of well-being . I always leave feeling like myself again and am grateful to have found such a talented and skilled practitioner.

Sara- Youth Worker- Yoga Teacher - London

Bowen really works.

The therapy takes place in a room that is very calming and relaxing. Then Anna takes the time to ask questions and thoroughly go through any health complaints I may be having.

During the treatment I always feel very relaxed and comfortable.

I also trust the work that Anna is doing and feel that because the treatment is gentle and non invasive, my joints are not being manipulated, I know it is safe.

I have gone to Anna with problems of headaches, back pain and stress and the work she does has really helped to alleviate many of those problems.

Bowen for Migraine and Headaches

I came to see Anna when I was at my wits end with persistent headaches and migraines.  They were often daily, and had become so debilitating that my GP referred me for an MRI scan.  When this came back clear, the only option left was strong daily medication, which I was told had limited chance of working. I was googling headaches when I came across Bowen. I would have tried anything by this point. I had 3 sessions with Anna, but the effect was pretty immediate. The headaches just stopped. At first I found the sessions hard to get used to - they were so gentle, it barely felt like anything was happening, but I quickly came to love them. I would often feel tired at the end of a session, but also relaxed and calm. Since then I have continued to have Bowen every few months.  The headaches have never come back.

Bowen for Knees

Anna Walker was recommended to me by a friend as I had a knee issue. After the treatment I felt elated and also the most relaxed I’ve felt since I was a child.

My knee issue, which had been ongoing for months and was so severe that I had to be on crutches and was not able to put any weight on it, was much improved after the first session, and by the third session was completely healed.

I also noticed an overall improvement in my health in general.

Caia - Contemporary Oil Painter - Brighton

During my first Homeopathy appointment, after chatting to Anna for an hour about all my health issues I felt more relaxed as though I had talked to a counsellor. That was before I took any remedies!

My main concern then was my mental state as I was going through a very stressful time. She gave me a remedy to take over three nights and within a day of finishing the course, I started to feel more relaxed and positive. It was a wonderful feeling.

Since then she has continued to treat and support me through even more stressful times for anxiety and also I have taken a remedy for lowering blood glucose which has proved to be successful.

I would recommend Anna to anyone who would like to try Homeopathy as she has been a great help to me.

Sally – Retired - Telscombe Cliffs

I found Anna to be very professional whilst also connecting on a very warm and understanding level. She has a good depth of knowledge of the issues I discussed with her and I felt very confident in her diagnosis. I was amazed at the results of the treatment as I had been dealing with the issues for years and with in just a month I had seen myself change dramatically -  emotionally physically and mentally.

Lucy – Artist – London

Lovely experience- felt like a whole new woman afterwards- highly recommended!

Helen

Ash is a great woman that does amazing massages. Really made me feel relaxed and comfortable, highly recommended!

Robin

Ash makes you feel so relaxed and at ease. I had a pedicure and back, neck and shoulder massage. I left feeling rejuvenated and walking in air. Would highly recommend and worth so much more than you pay.

 

Verity

I've been struggling with lower back pain for a long time now, I guess this been caused by job being a stonemason, which has really affected my life style, such a trekking mountain bike and gym ect, after just one session with Ashley I've been able to take a 6 miles walk over Dartmoor with my dog Jess with no effort, I'm pretty sure this is not just a coincidence, so if you need a bit of TLC like myself, I strongly recommend giving Ashley a call, 100% recommend absolutely amazing ???? many thanks Ashley

Shane

I went for a Swedish back, neck and shoulders massage because I was stiff and sore from lots of desk work as well as manual labour. I felt relaxed as soon as I walked into the room. The ambiance and lighting was lovely. The massage itself was incredible - I felt as light as a feather for days afterwards. I am still feeling generally better within myself. I can wholeheartedly recommend a massage here and I shall be coming back soon!

Merv

I had a wonderful, soothing aromatherapy massage here today.Ash was very professional, kind and supportive and put me at ease from start to finish. The treatment room is gorgeous and calming. I left feeling so relaxed I felt I was floating, without a care in the world. A highly recommendable experience. Go see for yourself. You won’t regret it.

Lea

Fantastic massage with superb skill . I would highly recommend Ashley. Must rank as one of the best massages ever

NIck

I recently had an hour reflexology treatment with the lovely Ash after a really stressful week at work to try and help me relax and destress. I loved my treatment and I found it very restorative. Ash was very professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back. Thank you Ash ????

 

Ari

Absolutely amazing, a wide variety of treatments available so there is something for everyone and you'll leave feeling fantastic. professional and clean environment and Ash is so friendly with lots of helpful information and tips and happy to answer any questions you have

Sarah

I had a back & shoulder massage with Ashe who is delightful,the massage was so good i left feeling like the weight of the world was lifted from me and so energised a wonderful experience and worth every penny

Vince

I saw Caroline for a number of sessions over a period of time to help me work through severe trauma. Caroline is a warm, empathetic therapist. Not only did I feel very held and safe, but I regard her as a high level healer and extremely insightful and knowledgeable. I really valued her encouragement and belief in me to find a way forwards again in my life.Thank you so much for everything.

 

Angela

Caroline is such a lovely, caring person. She is confident and trustworthy. Not only has she helped me over come my anxiety and past traumas, she has made me feel so much better about myself and has helped me to identify triggers which I have now overcome and my anxiety is next to none.
I really wish I had took the plunge to see her sooner so I could have felt this way a long time ago.
I recommend Caroline so much, it is worth every penny

Eleanor

Caroline changed my life for the better. She is a truly talented professional. I've been through counselling, which was helpful. However, the speed in which I was able to move forward with Caroline's work was transformational, releasing past trauma and the effects that had on me and my life.
I've recommended friends and family, and they've all had positive results. I can't speak highly enough.

Lesley

Caroline has a natural gift for healing. I’ve had multiple sessions with Caroline and really saw the positive changes after each one. After each clearing session Caroline gave me feedback and I was amazed when she was able to detail things that had come up for her that I hadn’t told her. I would highly recommend Caroline.

Chantelle

Seeing Caroline is just the most life changing, transformative, important thing you could ever do for yourself. Caroline has a way of making you feel completely serene, calm and comfortable and can help you progress your life in a way that has never felt possible. Caroline’s work is one of the best things to ever happen to me!

Abbie

“I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible experience I had with Caroline. She was friendly and welcoming, and the healing itself was unforgettable. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an exciting experience.”

 

Severin

I’ve seen Caroline a few times over the last few years, and each time she was prompt to squeeze me in when I urgently needed help. I found her different therapies: empathetic, concise, informative, professional and extremely helpful each time with continued support over text message. She’s helped me with cutting past PTSD experiences and most recently a panic disorder. I especially like that she combines holistic therapies like reiki alongside more traditional ones, and most recently I felt the benefits of the photon light to help with post covid.
I have, and will continue to recommend Caroline.

Louise

Caroline is an angel and has changed my life beyond what I could even imagine for the better. I couldn’t be more grateful for all her help and guidance. Thank you so much Caroline xx

Rosie

Caroline created an extraordinary experience for me, which really supported and progressed my life journey.

Dave

Thank you Caroline for bringing clarity to my life! My sessions with you were really beneficial x

D

Femi is such a wonderful therapist, I immediately felt safe and able to fully drop in to the hypnosis. It was incredible to be able to connect with my higher self and bypass my rational mind which usually gets in the way with most talking therapies I have had in the past.

HIGHLY recommend xx

India

Femi’s abilities in holistic healing are innate - her presence fills rooms, and the people in them, with a deep sense of safety, love and calm. She holds space for others with a pure heart and grounded compassion. Having experienced all of Femi’s services, I would highly recommend every single one of them. I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance and support.

Chantal

My hypnotherapy session with Femi was everything I didn't know I needed. Literally! She guided me softly to connect with my higher self and allowed me the best space to be deeply relax and face the things that were preventing me from some really important growth. Her voice was soothing yet commanding and I felt totally and completely engaged with the work. Can't wait for another session!

Grace

I was so blown away by how easy it was to switch off and experience peace during the (NLP) session [with Femi], I have such a busy mind and was worried I’d spend the whole time thinking! It’s completely changed my ability to relax my mind and accesses clarity with way more ease, I feel generally much more connected to the part of me that knows peace and excited to see in what other parts of my life I can notice a positive change. 

Anonymous

My hypnotherapy session and experience with Femi was profound!

Femi facilitated a safe and comfortable space where I could completely relax to connect with my subconscious. 

Her approach is gentle, yet powerful with much spiritual knowledge to guide the practitioner back home to themselves. 

Heidi

Vortex healing really helped me to calm my emotions and help me feel more balanced to deal with daily life.  It was energising as it felt like my head had been cleared of confusing thoughts. About 5 hours after the therapy I felt very refreshed as though I had had a long and peaceful sleep. Thank you Judith.

Dawn, Mother of 2

My main symptom, which was anxiety in the mornings, has gone!

Alex, after distance healing

Judith’s kind touch was a moment of sunshine in the storm of a major depressive episode.  It switched off the anxiety and gave me respite, allowing me to experience what it was like to be  ‘back to normal’ the next day.

CH, General Practitioner

That was the best reflexology I’ve ever had!

JL, Physiotherapist

After my Vortex Healing session with Judith I felt lifted in my heart, as though something painful had just gone away.  I really did feel different and the feeling has stayed.

RB, Counsellor

Amazing massage from Judith Peplow, my shoulders and neck feel a million times better! Thank you

Arnold

Having booked in for problems with my legs Judith Peplow has resolved more issues than I knew I had in my back, arms and legs. She has enabled me to continue to walk the moors as well as my farming life. With follow up sessions to settle any new issues I would recommend her body massage to anyone.

Gail Fursdon

Thank you Judith Peplow, the sports massage has really helped with my aching legs ahead of my Marathon, they feel so much better. I have seen Judith at the Haven Clinic over a number of years and I would highly recommend Judith

Zachary Nashed

Every time I come to see my therapist, Judith, she makes me feel so much lighter, relaxed and full of energy. After every session you feel ready to go back to work, kids, house again.

Hina, Mother of 2

Wonderful massage, Julie listens to what you need and totally tailors each session for you. Perfect. 

Jinny Parsons

Absolutely great experience, friendly professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend. 

Michele Radford

A lovely relaxing treatment with Julie, friendly, professional and a fabulously gentle and relaxing atmosphere.. Highly recommend a visit for some indulgent "me" time. 

Nicola Wakefield

That time was invaluable. I felt I was definitely doing something to improve the health of both me and my baby, which was in complete contrast to the scary things that were happening around us. I would (and do) recommend Nicola to anybody who can get to her for sessions, even five years on, I just recommended her to a pregnant friend this morning.

Anon

Nicola is an amazing practitioner. She’s calm, professional and confident and all of that oozes from her. Unlike experiences I’ve had with other acupuncture practitioners, I barely felt anything and had no unwanted side effects. 5 Years on & I still recommend her to everyone in Devon who asks me about acupuncture. Unfortunately I don’t live close enough anymore, or I’d be up there every week! I tried not to have any expectations beforehand but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked and how quickly – it was definitely a lifeline at that point, even though the conventional medics around me at that point were very anti complementary therapies. It brought my pain, blood pressure and overall anxiety level right down.

Dorothy

Involved in the teaching of human physiology for a number of years, I had a general interest in acupuncture, the fact that it did seem to be effective in certain situations and it's possible mechanism of action.

It was a year or two after formal retirement, that I began to get what were clearly arthritic pains in the joints of some of my fingers. These became sufficiently painful sometimes that I felt the need for some therapeutic action. Reluctant to use conventional anti-inflammatory durgs at this stage, I sought help through acupuncture on the basis that, if it can work (even if not for everyone), I would give it a try.

It has, in fact, been remarkably efective in easing the pain so that, althorugh it flares up a bit in cold/damp wiather, the level remains almost continuously low and largely almost insignificant. Subsequent problems with a knee joint have also been considerably eased by the same therapy.

I do recommend acupuncture to friends & associates as a possible way of easing joint problems (whilst making it clear that it does not always work for everyone).

Tony. Retired Teacher

Having acupuncture has been such a positive thing for me and I would definitely have more in the future. Thank you!

Dawn

I came to [Nicola] for fertility support, after 2 years for trying for a baby. We sought medical help via the G.P.  And acupuncture alongside, at the time for both my husband and I.

For me, I felt our initial conversation was really significant to me, for the first time in my life I opened up about my 'lifestyle'... I conceived within six weeks to a healthy little girl and had an amazing pregnancy...

Lucy

Having acupuncture was a really calming experience and felt like a positive thing to do while undergoing fertility treatment.

Project Manager

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve had problems with very irregular periods. I could often go for months without having a period. As a teenager, this didn’t worry me, as I had my whole life ahead of me. However, when I reached 30 and got married, my husband and I decided we would like to try to start a family, only to be faced with the problem of horrendously irregular periods. At one point I went for about 3 months without a period, making planning for a baby very difficult.

A friend of mine recommended acupuncture, which I decided might be worth a try, so at the beginning of December, I started seeing an acupuncturist, Nicola Renovich, once a week. I started my treatment in December and became pregnant the following February. Unfortunately, that pregnancy was not to be and I suffered a miscarriage in April. Although disappointed, I decided the best thing to do was to continue my acupuncture and returned for treatment a few weeks after my miscarriage. That month, my menstrual cycle was exactly 28 days long, which has never happened to me before. I know how long it was, because I became pregnant for the second time and that pregnancy has continued successfully, meaning that I am now 29 weeks pregnant.

I have absolutely no doubt that acupuncture contributed directly to my getting pregnant in a very short period of time and would recommend it to anyone!

Teacher

I came to you (Nicola) for fertility support, after 2 years for trying for a baby. We sought medical help via the G.P.  And acupuncture alongside, at the time for both my husband and I.

For me, I felt our initial conversation was really significant to me, for the first time in my life I opened up about my ‘lifestyle’. I believed I was mad because I had to constantly live on Imodium tablets, sometimes taking 3 a day. When you suggested I remove wheat from my diet, initially I was reluctant, however it was my answer. I wasn’t mad after all, I conceived within six weeks to a healthy little girl and had an amazing pregnancy.

2 years 9 months later, we welcomed our second baby into the family and four months ago, we had our third baby. Whilst we had sought help via the medical route, all three conceptions were entirely natural and intervention free and we returned to standard midwifery care during the pregnancies.
I don’t know what happened during that time, all I know, I got more than the outcome I desired and still to this day, cannot entertain wheat.

Lucy

I found the treatments which I had from Nicola over many years were immensely beneficial in reducing the pain I was experiencing from the arthritis in my joints. This undoubtably helped to delay the time when surgical intervention for both my knee and ankle become imperative. This has greatly increased the chance of these prosthetics lasting me for the rest of my active life! So many thanks.

Peter

I began treatment with many long-standing major problems and multitudinous minor ones. Felt completely disconnected and despairing of ever sorting it all. 4 months on, and it's still a work in progress, but feeling 'whole' for the first time in 20 years. Symptoms have consolidated down to only 3 or 4 discrete issues, and I'm now strong enough to be worked on at a deeper level to begin clearing what remains. I thoroughly recommend Acupuncture as a therapy, and Nicola as a Practitioner. She's cool, calm, knowledgeable - and listens. Very professional and well worth the 40 miles I have to travel to see her.

Jay. 55 yr old Administrator for Author

I expected to experience an improvement (I hoped relatively quickly) and fortunately this was correct. After my treatments with Nicola (I experienced) increased movement and pain reduction in my shoulder/arm (especially after my first treatment). Also painful wrist has been helped. (I'm) pleased with the improvement and it is also a relaxing experience. I would recommend the treatment to anyone with muscular pain like myself

Pauline (age 66) Treatment for very painful shoulder/arm with ex

[Acupuncture with Nicola] has been a great help with my localised pain - in my knees and back. With the back up of the Chinese Herbs, it has also helped my phlegm a lot.

Lola, Ashburton

Acupuncture sessions with you Nicola, brought back to me a great sense of well-being following a sad and difficult period in my life just previous to my move to the West Country. This did so much to enable my smooth integration in the life down here. Thank you so much Nicola.

Joyce, Retired.

Please describe what you came to have Acupuncture for:
Pain in back and right leg and headaches caused by living with constant pain. Frozen left shoulder due to lost right arm, meaning my left arm over working.

How did you benefit from treatment?
Like a wrecked car that has been fixed. Feel I have increased quality of life, happiness and well being.

How would you describe your overall experience of having Acupuncture with Nicola?
Although not expecting anything too positive in the beginning, I felt with no other options (have tried other treatments, such as massage and cranial sacral - they were good but not effective for my long term hopes) it was worth trusting Nicola as she is very calm and gives one a sense of empathy and without getting hopes up too much takes you on a journey to a place where your body gains a sense of balance - that had been lost in life before this treatment.

Did you experience any side effects to Acupuncture treatment?
 without getting too mystical there was the sense of blocks and darker energies being released somehow.

 

53 yr old, software engineer

I have been having acupuncture with Nicola for several months and find the treatments very beneficial on all levels...

Nicola has a warm and caring manner...I very much enjoy having acupuncture with Nicola and really look forward to the sessions each month.

Becky, Intervention Worker

I found Nicola most welcoming and put me at ease...I found the Acupuncture treatment effective and profoundly relaxing and would not hesitate to recommend it. I am looking forward to my next appointment.

Margaret

Although originally feeling rather sceptical about the use of acupuncture, having undergone multiple failed cycles of IVF, I decided to ask Nicola for help. She performed weekly sessions of acupuncture and provided me with lots of advice, as well as a friendly ear. Shortly after, we had a successful round of IVF and now have a beautiful daughter. I really believe her treatment helped us conceive and would truly recommend Nicola to anyone. We thank her so much for all her help during a very difficult journey.    

Rob Long was recommended to me after a cycling accident. My left knee was damaged and prescribed painkillers weren’t working. Rob took the time to understand exactly the difficulties I faced. I wasn’t a fan of needles, however I was reassured that the whole process was explained to me and was actually remarkably painless. Thank you Rob!

Adam J

Writing on behalf of my Father who travelled up yesterday from Cornwall to see Rob Long for Acupuncture.  He has been suffering a lot of pain due to Rheumatoid Arthritis style symptoms.  After the initial consultation and treatment he felt much better and could feel his feet again.  Rob is extremely talented, professional and knowledgeable and I am extremely grateful for his help.  He will definitely be back for a course of treatment. Thank you Rob.

Sarah

I have known Robert Long for many years and have valued his gifts as an acupuncturist, healer and masseur. He has put me back on track on so many occasions when my body was struggling. Rob is a huge asset to any team of alternative therapists. Reliable and easy to talk to, his gifts to his clients are many, and my friends and I would not be the people we are today without his invaluable help.

Bridget C

I have found Rob Long quite the best practitioner with whom I’ve had the fortune to engage. Empathic, attentive but with a clear resolve to achieve results, Rob's treatment had an immediate effect on my chronic migraine condition. I went from three to four migraines per week to just one every six weeks. I can whole-heartedly recommend Rob Long as an acupuncturist of great experience and utmost professionalism.

Chris W

I saw Rob very regularly in Truro, Cornwall. Thanks to Rob’s expertise, skill and passion for acupuncture, I was rescued many times from terrible sciatic pain. Our loss here in Cornwall is certainly Devon’s gain. A true professional.

James D

Rob Long was recommended to me nearly twenty years ago. I was at a critical point in my life, with recent past traumas and big challenges ahead, so I needed to be at my best - physically, emotionally, psychologically, even spiritually.

Lynn D

Rob has treated me twice monthly for 12 years and is a superb acupuncturist and healer. He has also treated most of my overseas family, helping immeasurably with, amongst other things, their jet lag. I am now 80 years old and feel Rob has played a major part in my overall wellbeing. From general aches and pains to more specific treatments like arthritis and frozen shoulder he has been able to give me great relief. As he now lives in Devon, Cornwall’s loss is Devon’s gain!

Ann B

I have been a patient of Rob's for about 20 years. He has treated me for various things, both physical and emotional; always with great understanding, kindness, and sympathy. I now count him as a friend who also happens to be an extremely good acupuncturist!

Rose B

I have known Rob Long for nearly 20 years. I started seeing Rob for treatment for asthma and general well-being. Over the years I have also received treatment for sciatica and other ailments, especially peri-menopause. After all sessions with Rob I have seen a significant improvement and would thoroughly recommend his services to anyone. Rob is an amazing practitioner who is also a great listener. I trust him implicitly.

Suzy G

For over twenty years Rob has been my Acupuncturist. In this I have found him to be knowledgeable, caring, skilled and easy to be with. Well-read and impressively grounded in Chinese medicine, he has been able to explain his treatments in layman's terms; with both feet firmly on the ground! When you find a practitioner with Rob's quality and integrity, they are like a sound life investment that’s well worth hanging on to. Practitioners like this are so rare!

Chris P

Rob Long gave me my first introduction to experiencing Qi. The results have never failed to impress me, and so he has treated me now for many years. This, combined with Rob’s Daoist ‘healing hands’ techniques, means that I couldn’t recommend anybody better if you were wanting to maximise your energy and feel like a ‘new person’. I also had the absolute pleasure of one-on-one training from Rob in Qi Gong. There is no one else who I've trusted so much to cultivate my energy

Baz C

I was treated by Rob over a number of years, and found him to be an excellent practitioner who was attentive, practical and sensitive. He listens well and explains each treatment clearly, giving useful advice. I always felt that he immediately understood my needs. He is also a very nice man who brings a wealth of life experience to his work as an Acupuncturist! I would recommend him highly.

Christine T

To say that I value Rob’s expertise and intuition would be a gross understatement. Having gone to him for help with late onset labour, he immediately raised a ‘red flag’ that quite possibly saved the life of my daughter. My baby was born via emergency C-section and then spent a week in ICU. Had Rob not picked up that something was wrong I honestly don’t know what might have happened. (Nobody else had). After this traumatic experience I suffered severe itching and blisters all over my body, which were treated unsuccessfully with medication. I also had extreme anxiety. One session with Rob and the blisters and itching subsided, and he somehow switched off my anxiety! Everyone needs Rob Long in their health toolbox.

Lucy C

I have attended Rob Long's acupuncture clinic for 10 years. He has treated my painful knees, shoulders, thumbs, wrists and neck, as well as 'balancing up' meridians as necessary. I have always felt a whole lot better after each treatment.

Eileen T

My first visit to Rob was for a very acute shoulder that refused to settle despite many visits to a chiropractor. After only a couple of Rob’s treatments my shoulder function was returned to normal and I have happily continued seeing him ever since for treatment of many general health problems.

Monica D

I found my sessions with Rob Long extremely helpful and satisfactory. His treatments definitely contributed to the recovery of my voice and my recovery generally from a major operation. He is also very good company and we enjoyed each others' conversations. Many thanks to him.

Tom Walker

“I really appreciated my Tui Na Massage session with Rob. It gave me a great
sense of relief and I’m looking forward to my next appointment!”

S.B., Ashburton

I cannot recommend Rob highly enough - over a period of 15 years, I’ve found him impressively skilled and extremely professional. As a practitioner he has a refreshingly down-to-earth, flexible and intuitive approach, accompanied by excellent communication skills. I find him to be a very safe practitioner who also provides balanced and well-informed advice.

Sue P

I have visited Rob for some time now, and would highly recommend him. He has always provided excellent treatments; acupuncture for menopause symptoms and general wellbeing, and Traditional Chinese Massage for a shoulder injury. Wonderful!

Deana R

Tim was so professional and kind. He had a very encouraging and non-judgemental way of listening and discussing with me. He is very warm and easy to talk to. He made me feel genuinely heard and respected.

Hollie

Tim has a laidback and personable approach which made me feel really at ease and comfortable with sharing my thoughts, but was also totally professional throughout our sessions which made me feel like I could trust him and he knew how to help.

Tom

Tim’s approach to counselling felt so brilliantly balanced. The whole year I spent with them felt very collaborative and I felt supported and challenged in just the right amounts. I feel that Tim’s listening skills are so good, and I always felt validated in the way I was feeling, and able to feel more in control of the complex emotions I was experiencing.

Joe

Very calming atmosphere, [Tim] made good light of situations and there was genuine interest in wanting to help me and resolve my woes. Incredible way to start going to therapy

Toby

Tim is a very patient and knowledgeable therapist. I felt comfortable from the start and he quickly identified issues that I never knew about before meeting him

Tim is a very understanding and helpful person. He always listens fully to what I have to say and will always offer his own opinion and advice

‘After your massage, I feel a kind of connectedness and lightness. My mind is free; the pain and tension in my shoulders is released and everything is in better proportion.’

S.H., Chagford

Involved in the teaching of human physiology for a number of years, I had a general interest in acupuncture, the fact that it did seem to be effective in certain situations and it's possible mechanism of action.

It was a year or two after formal retirement, that I began to get what were clearly arthritic pains in the joints of some of my fingers. These became sufficiently painful sometimes that I felt the need for some therapeutic action. Reluctant to use conventional anti-inflammatory durgs at this stage, I sought help through acupuncture on the basis that, if it can work (even if not for everyone), I would give it a try.

It has, in fact, been remarkably efective in easing the pain so that, althorugh it flares up a bit in cold/damp wiather, the level remains almost continuously low and largely almost insignificant. Subsequent problems with a knee joint have also been considerably eased by the same therapy.

I do recommend acupuncture to friends & associates as a possible way of easing joint problems (whilst making it clear that it does not always work for everyone).

Tony. Retired Teacher

Having acupuncture has been such a positive thing for me and I would definitely have more in the future. Thank you!

Writing on behalf of my Father who travelled up yesterday from Cornwall to see Rob Long for Acupuncture.  He has been suffering a lot of pain due to Rheumatoid Arthritis style symptoms.  After the initial consultation and treatment he felt much better and could feel his feet again.  Rob is extremely talented, professional and knowledgeable and I am extremely grateful for his help.  He will definitely be back for a course of treatment. Thank you Rob.

Sarah

I have known Robert Long for many years and have valued his gifts as an acupuncturist, healer and masseur. He has put me back on track on so many occasions when my body was struggling. Rob is a huge asset to any team of alternative therapists. Reliable and easy to talk to, his gifts to his clients are many, and my friends and I would not be the people we are today without his invaluable help.

Bridget C

I have found Rob Long quite the best practitioner with whom I’ve had the fortune to engage. Empathic, attentive but with a clear resolve to achieve results, Rob's treatment had an immediate effect on my chronic migraine condition. I went from three to four migraines per week to just one every six weeks. I can whole-heartedly recommend Rob Long as an acupuncturist of great experience and utmost professionalism.

Chris W

I saw Rob very regularly in Truro, Cornwall. Thanks to Rob’s expertise, skill and passion for acupuncture, I was rescued many times from terrible sciatic pain. Our loss here in Cornwall is certainly Devon’s gain. A true professional.

James D

Rob Long was recommended to me nearly twenty years ago. I was at a critical point in my life, with recent past traumas and big challenges ahead, so I needed to be at my best - physically, emotionally, psychologically, even spiritually.

Lynn D

Rob has treated me twice monthly for 12 years and is a superb acupuncturist and healer. He has also treated most of my overseas family, helping immeasurably with, amongst other things, their jet lag. I am now 80 years old and feel Rob has played a major part in my overall wellbeing. From general aches and pains to more specific treatments like arthritis and frozen shoulder he has been able to give me great relief. As he now lives in Devon, Cornwall’s loss is Devon’s gain!

Ann B

I have been a patient of Rob's for about 20 years. He has treated me for various things, both physical and emotional; always with great understanding, kindness, and sympathy. I now count him as a friend who also happens to be an extremely good acupuncturist!

Rose B

For over twenty years Rob has been my Acupuncturist. In this I have found him to be knowledgeable, caring, skilled and easy to be with. Well-read and impressively grounded in Chinese medicine, he has been able to explain his treatments in layman's terms; with both feet firmly on the ground! When you find a practitioner with Rob's quality and integrity, they are like a sound life investment that’s well worth hanging on to. Practitioners like this are so rare!

Chris P

Rob Long gave me my first introduction to experiencing Qi. The results have never failed to impress me, and so he has treated me now for many years. This, combined with Rob’s Daoist ‘healing hands’ techniques, means that I couldn’t recommend anybody better if you were wanting to maximise your energy and feel like a ‘new person’. I also had the absolute pleasure of one-on-one training from Rob in Qi Gong. There is no one else who I've trusted so much to cultivate my energy

Baz C

I was treated by Rob over a number of years, and found him to be an excellent practitioner who was attentive, practical and sensitive. He listens well and explains each treatment clearly, giving useful advice. I always felt that he immediately understood my needs. He is also a very nice man who brings a wealth of life experience to his work as an Acupuncturist! I would recommend him highly.

Christine T

To say that I value Rob’s expertise and intuition would be a gross understatement. Having gone to him for help with late onset labour, he immediately raised a ‘red flag’ that quite possibly saved the life of my daughter. My baby was born via emergency C-section and then spent a week in ICU. Had Rob not picked up that something was wrong I honestly don’t know what might have happened. (Nobody else had). After this traumatic experience I suffered severe itching and blisters all over my body, which were treated unsuccessfully with medication. I also had extreme anxiety. One session with Rob and the blisters and itching subsided, and he somehow switched off my anxiety! Everyone needs Rob Long in their health toolbox.

Lucy C

I have attended Rob Long's acupuncture clinic for 10 years. He has treated my painful knees, shoulders, thumbs, wrists and neck, as well as 'balancing up' meridians as necessary. I have always felt a whole lot better after each treatment.

Eileen T

My first visit to Rob was for a very acute shoulder that refused to settle despite many visits to a chiropractor. After only a couple of Rob’s treatments my shoulder function was returned to normal and I have happily continued seeing him ever since for treatment of many general health problems.

Monica D

I found the treatments which I had from Nicola over many years were immensely beneficial in reducing the pain I was experiencing from the arthritis in my joints. This undoubtably helped to delay the time when surgical intervention for both my knee and ankle become imperative. This has greatly increased the chance of these prosthetics lasting me for the rest of my active life! So many thanks.

Peter

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve had problems with very irregular periods. I could often go for months without having a period. As a teenager, this didn’t worry me, as I had my whole life ahead of me. However, when I reached 30 and got married, my husband and I decided we would like to try to start a family, only to be faced with the problem of horrendously irregular periods. At one point I went for about 3 months without a period, making planning for a baby very difficult.

A friend of mine recommended acupuncture, which I decided might be worth a try, so at the beginning of December, I started seeing an acupuncturist, Nicola Renovich, once a week. I started my treatment in December and became pregnant the following February. Unfortunately, that pregnancy was not to be and I suffered a miscarriage in April. Although disappointed, I decided the best thing to do was to continue my acupuncture and returned for treatment a few weeks after my miscarriage. That month, my menstrual cycle was exactly 28 days long, which has never happened to me before. I know how long it was, because I became pregnant for the second time and that pregnancy has continued successfully, meaning that I am now 29 weeks pregnant.

I have absolutely no doubt that acupuncture contributed directly to my getting pregnant in a very short period of time and would recommend it to anyone!

Teacher

I began treatment with many long-standing major problems and multitudinous minor ones. Felt completely disconnected and despairing of ever sorting it all. 4 months on, and it's still a work in progress, but feeling 'whole' for the first time in 20 years. Symptoms have consolidated down to only 3 or 4 discrete issues, and I'm now strong enough to be worked on at a deeper level to begin clearing what remains. I thoroughly recommend Acupuncture as a therapy, and Nicola as a Practitioner. She's cool, calm, knowledgeable - and listens. Very professional and well worth the 40 miles I have to travel to see her.

Jay. 55 yr old Administrator for Author

I expected to experience an improvement (I hoped relatively quickly) and fortunately this was correct. After my treatments with Nicola (I experienced) increased movement and pain reduction in my shoulder/arm (especially after my first treatment). Also painful wrist has been helped. (I'm) pleased with the improvement and it is also a relaxing experience. I would recommend the treatment to anyone with muscular pain like myself

Pauline (age 66) Treatment for very painful shoulder/arm with ex

[Acupuncture with Nicola] has been a great help with my localised pain - in my knees and back. With the back up of the Chinese Herbs, it has also helped my phlegm a lot.

Lola, Ashburton

I found my sessions with Rob Long extremely helpful and satisfactory. His treatments definitely contributed to the recovery of my voice and my recovery generally from a major operation. He is also very good company and we enjoyed each others' conversations. Many thanks to him.

Tom Walker

Acupuncture sessions with you Nicola, brought back to me a great sense of well-being following a sad and difficult period in my life just previous to my move to the West Country. This did so much to enable my smooth integration in the life down here. Thank you so much Nicola.

Joyce, Retired.

Please describe what you came to have Acupuncture for:
Pain in back and right leg and headaches caused by living with constant pain. Frozen left shoulder due to lost right arm, meaning my left arm over working.

How did you benefit from treatment?
Like a wrecked car that has been fixed. Feel I have increased quality of life, happiness and well being.

How would you describe your overall experience of having Acupuncture with Nicola?
Although not expecting anything too positive in the beginning, I felt with no other options (have tried other treatments, such as massage and cranial sacral - they were good but not effective for my long term hopes) it was worth trusting Nicola as she is very calm and gives one a sense of empathy and without getting hopes up too much takes you on a journey to a place where your body gains a sense of balance - that had been lost in life before this treatment.

Did you experience any side effects to Acupuncture treatment?
 without getting too mystical there was the sense of blocks and darker energies being released somehow.

 

53 yr old, software engineer

I cannot recommend Rob highly enough - over a period of 15 years, I’ve found him impressively skilled and extremely professional. As a practitioner he has a refreshingly down-to-earth, flexible and intuitive approach, accompanied by excellent communication skills. I find him to be a very safe practitioner who also provides balanced and well-informed advice.

Sue P

I have been having acupuncture with Nicola for several months and find the treatments very beneficial on all levels...

Nicola has a warm and caring manner...I very much enjoy having acupuncture with Nicola and really look forward to the sessions each month.

Becky, Intervention Worker

I found Nicola most welcoming and put me at ease...I found the Acupuncture treatment effective and profoundly relaxing and would not hesitate to recommend it. I am looking forward to my next appointment.

Margaret

I have visited Rob for some time now, and would highly recommend him. He has always provided excellent treatments; acupuncture for menopause symptoms and general wellbeing, and Traditional Chinese Massage for a shoulder injury. Wonderful!

Deana R

I had a wonderful, soothing aromatherapy massage here today.Ash was very professional, kind and supportive and put me at ease from start to finish. The treatment room is gorgeous and calming. I left feeling so relaxed I felt I was floating, without a care in the world. A highly recommendable experience. Go see for yourself. You won’t regret it.

Lea

Absolutely great experience, friendly professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend. 

Michele Radford

Lovely experience- felt like a whole new woman afterwards- highly recommended!

Helen

For a number of years I have suffered with lower back pain brought on by a number of issues.  In seeking help, I’d tried everything to no avail.  I knew little about Bowen before experiencing it but was open to try anything to help with pain relief and thank goodness I did.  My experience with Bowen has been nothing but positive, helping me considerably.  Anna has continued to be an incredibly supportive, expert practitioner.

Cassie- Actress-York

I have suffered from tension headaches due to neck and shoulder tension for most of my adult years.  I tried different therapies which produced short term but not long term relief.  It was not until I tried Bowen Therapy with Anna that I found long term relief which needs only maintainence sessions about every 3 months.  For me this approach has worked.

Barbara – Brighton

“Having suffered from a bad back for a very long time and having tried almost everything out there, Bowen was suggested by a client of mine (I’m a Barber). 

This is no understatement, without Anna and Bowen therapy I don’t know where I would be. 

I highly recommend Anna and Bowen therapy to anyone that has issues with their body.”

 

Mark B

“Anna Walker and Bowen Technique was recommended to me by a friend as I had a knee issue. 

After the treatment I felt elated and also the most relaxed I’ve felt since I was a child.

My knee issue, (which had been ongoing for months and was so severe that I was not able to put any weight on it and had to be on crutches), was much improved after the first session and by the third session was completely healed.

I also noticed an overall improvement in my health in general. “

 

 

 

Cara M

“I am so glad I discovered Bowen and Anna! 

It's like a one stop MOT shop for my body. 

From sorting out my carpal tunnel, to easing the stiffness from a broken wrist and much more besides. 

I have recommended Anna to many of my friends, family and colleagues and they have all, without exception, noticed fantastic results. 

Highly recommended.”

 

 

 

Julie J

“Anna is simply amazing. Over the years I have had Bowen treatment from her to help with my recovery from M.E/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, migraines, insomnia and stress.  Bowen has given me effective and lasting relief from these things, as well as a great sense of well-being . I always leave feeling like myself again and am grateful to have found such a talented and skilled practitioner.  “

Barbara G

“I came to see Anna when I was at my wits end with persistent headaches and migraines.  They were often daily, and had become so debilitating that my GP referred me for an MRI scan.  When this came back clear, the only option left was strong daily medication, which I was told had limited chance of working. I was googling headaches when I came across Bowen. I had 3 sessions with Anna, but the effect was pretty immediate. The headaches just stopped. At first I found the sessions hard to get used to - they were so gentle, it barely felt like anything was happening, but I quickly came to love them. I would often feel tired at the end of a session, but also relaxed and calm. Since then I have continued to have Bowen every few months.  The headaches have never come back. I cannot recommend Bowen, and Anna, enough.”   

Anna F

From the moment you meet Anna you feel a sense of calm and understanding.
The treatment is delivered in a relaxed manner – in fact almost every time I go, I fall asleep!
I always feel much better after the treatment. Would highly recommend.

Bowen for ME/Chronic Fatigue

Anna is simply amazing. Over the years I have had Bowen treatment from her to help with my recovery from M.E/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, migraines, insomnia and stress.  Bowen has given me effective and lasting relief from these things, as well as a great sense of well-being . I always leave feeling like myself again and am grateful to have found such a talented and skilled practitioner.

Sara- Youth Worker- Yoga Teacher - London

Bowen really works.

The therapy takes place in a room that is very calming and relaxing. Then Anna takes the time to ask questions and thoroughly go through any health complaints I may be having.

During the treatment I always feel very relaxed and comfortable.

I also trust the work that Anna is doing and feel that because the treatment is gentle and non invasive, my joints are not being manipulated, I know it is safe.

I have gone to Anna with problems of headaches, back pain and stress and the work she does has really helped to alleviate many of those problems.

Caia - Contemporary Oil Painter - Brighton

Tim was so professional and kind. He had a very encouraging and non-judgemental way of listening and discussing with me. He is very warm and easy to talk to. He made me feel genuinely heard and respected.

Hollie

Tim has a laidback and personable approach which made me feel really at ease and comfortable with sharing my thoughts, but was also totally professional throughout our sessions which made me feel like I could trust him and he knew how to help.

Tom

Tim is a very understanding and helpful person. He always listens fully to what I have to say and will always offer his own opinion and advice

Absolutely amazing, a wide variety of treatments available so there is something for everyone and you'll leave feeling fantastic. professional and clean environment and Ash is so friendly with lots of helpful information and tips and happy to answer any questions you have

Sarah

I saw Caroline for a number of sessions over a period of time to help me work through severe trauma. Caroline is a warm, empathetic therapist. Not only did I feel very held and safe, but I regard her as a high level healer and extremely insightful and knowledgeable. I really valued her encouragement and belief in me to find a way forwards again in my life.Thank you so much for everything.

 

Angela

Caroline is such a lovely, caring person. She is confident and trustworthy. Not only has she helped me over come my anxiety and past traumas, she has made me feel so much better about myself and has helped me to identify triggers which I have now overcome and my anxiety is next to none.
I really wish I had took the plunge to see her sooner so I could have felt this way a long time ago.
I recommend Caroline so much, it is worth every penny

Eleanor

Caroline changed my life for the better. She is a truly talented professional. I've been through counselling, which was helpful. However, the speed in which I was able to move forward with Caroline's work was transformational, releasing past trauma and the effects that had on me and my life.
I've recommended friends and family, and they've all had positive results. I can't speak highly enough.

Lesley

Caroline has a natural gift for healing. I’ve had multiple sessions with Caroline and really saw the positive changes after each one. After each clearing session Caroline gave me feedback and I was amazed when she was able to detail things that had come up for her that I hadn’t told her. I would highly recommend Caroline.

Chantelle

Seeing Caroline is just the most life changing, transformative, important thing you could ever do for yourself. Caroline has a way of making you feel completely serene, calm and comfortable and can help you progress your life in a way that has never felt possible. Caroline’s work is one of the best things to ever happen to me!

Abbie

“I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the incredible experience I had with Caroline. She was friendly and welcoming, and the healing itself was unforgettable. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an exciting experience.”

 

Severin

I’ve seen Caroline a few times over the last few years, and each time she was prompt to squeeze me in when I urgently needed help. I found her different therapies: empathetic, concise, informative, professional and extremely helpful each time with continued support over text message. She’s helped me with cutting past PTSD experiences and most recently a panic disorder. I especially like that she combines holistic therapies like reiki alongside more traditional ones, and most recently I felt the benefits of the photon light to help with post covid.
I have, and will continue to recommend Caroline.

Louise

Caroline is an angel and has changed my life beyond what I could even imagine for the better. I couldn’t be more grateful for all her help and guidance. Thank you so much Caroline xx

Rosie

Caroline created an extraordinary experience for me, which really supported and progressed my life journey.

Dave

Thank you Caroline for bringing clarity to my life! My sessions with you were really beneficial x

After my Vortex Healing session with Judith I felt lifted in my heart, as though something painful had just gone away.  I really did feel different and the feeling has stayed.

RB, Counsellor

Every time I come to see my therapist, Judith, she makes me feel so much lighter, relaxed and full of energy. After every session you feel ready to go back to work, kids, house again.

Hina, Mother of 2

That time was invaluable. I felt I was definitely doing something to improve the health of both me and my baby, which was in complete contrast to the scary things that were happening around us. I would (and do) recommend Nicola to anybody who can get to her for sessions, even five years on, I just recommended her to a pregnant friend this morning.

Anon

Nicola is an amazing practitioner. She’s calm, professional and confident and all of that oozes from her. Unlike experiences I’ve had with other acupuncture practitioners, I barely felt anything and had no unwanted side effects. 5 Years on & I still recommend her to everyone in Devon who asks me about acupuncture. Unfortunately I don’t live close enough anymore, or I’d be up there every week! I tried not to have any expectations beforehand but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked and how quickly – it was definitely a lifeline at that point, even though the conventional medics around me at that point were very anti complementary therapies. It brought my pain, blood pressure and overall anxiety level right down.

Dorothy

I came to [Nicola] for fertility support, after 2 years for trying for a baby. We sought medical help via the G.P.  And acupuncture alongside, at the time for both my husband and I.

For me, I felt our initial conversation was really significant to me, for the first time in my life I opened up about my 'lifestyle'... I conceived within six weeks to a healthy little girl and had an amazing pregnancy...

Lucy

Having acupuncture was a really calming experience and felt like a positive thing to do while undergoing fertility treatment.

Project Manager

I came to you (Nicola) for fertility support, after 2 years for trying for a baby. We sought medical help via the G.P.  And acupuncture alongside, at the time for both my husband and I.

For me, I felt our initial conversation was really significant to me, for the first time in my life I opened up about my ‘lifestyle’. I believed I was mad because I had to constantly live on Imodium tablets, sometimes taking 3 a day. When you suggested I remove wheat from my diet, initially I was reluctant, however it was my answer. I wasn’t mad after all, I conceived within six weeks to a healthy little girl and had an amazing pregnancy.

2 years 9 months later, we welcomed our second baby into the family and four months ago, we had our third baby. Whilst we had sought help via the medical route, all three conceptions were entirely natural and intervention free and we returned to standard midwifery care during the pregnancies.
I don’t know what happened during that time, all I know, I got more than the outcome I desired and still to this day, cannot entertain wheat.

Lucy

Although originally feeling rather sceptical about the use of acupuncture, having undergone multiple failed cycles of IVF, I decided to ask Nicola for help. She performed weekly sessions of acupuncture and provided me with lots of advice, as well as a friendly ear. Shortly after, we had a successful round of IVF and now have a beautiful daughter. I really believe her treatment helped us conceive and would truly recommend Nicola to anyone. We thank her so much for all her help during a very difficult journey.    

I had a back & shoulder massage with Ashe who is delightful,the massage was so good i left feeling like the weight of the world was lifted from me and so energised a wonderful experience and worth every penny

Vince

Wonderful massage, Julie listens to what you need and totally tailors each session for you. Perfect. 

Jinny Parsons

Amazing massage from Judith Peplow, my shoulders and neck feel a million times better! Thank you

Arnold

Having booked in for problems with my legs Judith Peplow has resolved more issues than I knew I had in my back, arms and legs. She has enabled me to continue to walk the moors as well as my farming life. With follow up sessions to settle any new issues I would recommend her body massage to anyone.

Gail Fursdon

Ash makes you feel so relaxed and at ease. I had a pedicure and back, neck and shoulder massage. I left feeling rejuvenated and walking in air. Would highly recommend and worth so much more than you pay.

 

Verity

A lovely relaxing treatment with Julie, friendly, professional and a fabulously gentle and relaxing atmosphere.. Highly recommend a visit for some indulgent "me" time. 

Nicola Wakefield

During my first Homeopathy appointment, after chatting to Anna for an hour about all my health issues I felt more relaxed as though I had talked to a counsellor. That was before I took any remedies!

My main concern then was my mental state as I was going through a very stressful time. She gave me a remedy to take over three nights and within a day of finishing the course, I started to feel more relaxed and positive. It was a wonderful feeling.

Since then she has continued to treat and support me through even more stressful times for anxiety and also I have taken a remedy for lowering blood glucose which has proved to be successful.

I would recommend Anna to anyone who would like to try Homeopathy as she has been a great help to me.

Sally – Retired - Telscombe Cliffs

I found Anna to be very professional whilst also connecting on a very warm and understanding level. She has a good depth of knowledge of the issues I discussed with her and I felt very confident in her diagnosis. I was amazed at the results of the treatment as I had been dealing with the issues for years and with in just a month I had seen myself change dramatically -  emotionally physically and mentally.

Lucy – Artist – London

Femi is such a wonderful therapist, I immediately felt safe and able to fully drop in to the hypnosis. It was incredible to be able to connect with my higher self and bypass my rational mind which usually gets in the way with most talking therapies I have had in the past.

HIGHLY recommend xx

India

My hypnotherapy session with Femi was everything I didn't know I needed. Literally! She guided me softly to connect with my higher self and allowed me the best space to be deeply relax and face the things that were preventing me from some really important growth. Her voice was soothing yet commanding and I felt totally and completely engaged with the work. Can't wait for another session!

Grace

My hypnotherapy session and experience with Femi was profound!

Femi facilitated a safe and comfortable space where I could completely relax to connect with my subconscious. 

Her approach is gentle, yet powerful with much spiritual knowledge to guide the practitioner back home to themselves. 

Heidi

Ash is a great woman that does amazing massages. Really made me feel relaxed and comfortable, highly recommended!

Robin

I've been struggling with lower back pain for a long time now, I guess this been caused by job being a stonemason, which has really affected my life style, such a trekking mountain bike and gym ect, after just one session with Ashley I've been able to take a 6 miles walk over Dartmoor with my dog Jess with no effort, I'm pretty sure this is not just a coincidence, so if you need a bit of TLC like myself, I strongly recommend giving Ashley a call, 100% recommend absolutely amazing ???? many thanks Ashley

Shane

I went for a Swedish back, neck and shoulders massage because I was stiff and sore from lots of desk work as well as manual labour. I felt relaxed as soon as I walked into the room. The ambiance and lighting was lovely. The massage itself was incredible - I felt as light as a feather for days afterwards. I am still feeling generally better within myself. I can wholeheartedly recommend a massage here and I shall be coming back soon!

Merv

Femi’s abilities in holistic healing are innate - her presence fills rooms, and the people in them, with a deep sense of safety, love and calm. She holds space for others with a pure heart and grounded compassion. Having experienced all of Femi’s services, I would highly recommend every single one of them. I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am today without her guidance and support.

Chantal

I was so blown away by how easy it was to switch off and experience peace during the (NLP) session [with Femi], I have such a busy mind and was worried I’d spend the whole time thinking! It’s completely changed my ability to relax my mind and accesses clarity with way more ease, I feel generally much more connected to the part of me that knows peace and excited to see in what other parts of my life I can notice a positive change. 

Anonymous

I recently had an hour reflexology treatment with the lovely Ash after a really stressful week at work to try and help me relax and destress. I loved my treatment and I found it very restorative. Ash was very professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back. Thank you Ash ????

 

Ari

Fantastic massage with superb skill . I would highly recommend Ashley. Must rank as one of the best massages ever

NIck

Tim’s approach to counselling felt so brilliantly balanced. The whole year I spent with them felt very collaborative and I felt supported and challenged in just the right amounts. I feel that Tim’s listening skills are so good, and I always felt validated in the way I was feeling, and able to feel more in control of the complex emotions I was experiencing.

Joe

Very calming atmosphere, [Tim] made good light of situations and there was genuine interest in wanting to help me and resolve my woes. Incredible way to start going to therapy

Toby

Tim is a very patient and knowledgeable therapist. I felt comfortable from the start and he quickly identified issues that I never knew about before meeting him

Mark

Thank you Judith Peplow, the sports massage has really helped with my aching legs ahead of my Marathon, they feel so much better. I have seen Judith at the Haven Clinic over a number of years and I would highly recommend Judith
