Stress or Pain?

Do you have emotional or physical symptoms that don't seem to be resolving?

Come and see me at The Healing Hut (or online) to have a tailor made treatment plan specific to your needs.

I work in an unique way. With my one to one clients, rather than offering one therapy at a time, I use my experience, judgement and expertise to tailor a blend of different therapies to suit your specific needs.

Come and experience my: Combination Therapy

This is made up of one or more of the following specialisms:

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. It is believed to restore the body's balance of energy, or Qi, and promote natural healing. Acupuncture has been used for centuries to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and address a variety of health conditions.

Meditation and Mindfulness

Meditation and mindfulness are practices that cultivate mental clarity and presence. Meditation involves focused attention, often on the breath, to calm the mind and reduce stress. Mindfulness extends this awareness to daily life, helping individuals stay fully engaged in the present moment. Both techniques enhance well-being and promote inner peace.

Emotional Freedom Technique

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as "tapping," is a holistic therapeutic approach that combines acupressure and psychology. By tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on emotional issues, EFT aims to release negative emotions, reduce stress, and promote emotional well-being. It's a simple and effective self-help tool for emotional healing and personal growth.

Other Relaxation Therapies that may be incorporated into your Combination Treatment.

Guided Relaxation Reiki Massage ( Please be aware this is only part of the treatment; it is not a stand-alone massage). Cupping

Alison is an amazing therapist. She uses her intuition to guide her to the best treatment approach for her client. She uses many different treatment approaches to get fhe best results. I've had a few acute muscular issues when I've visited, and she has helped me greatly on each occasion. Alison also has a spiritual side, which certainly helps to connect the body and mind!

Alison is an amazing therapist. She has a wide range of knowledge across all treatments especially acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She has helped me so much over the last 5 years and I always come away from a treatment feeling much better than when I went in. Highly recommend her.

I have completed one of Alison’s courses and it transformed my whole life thinking and definitely helped with my erratic sleep pattern. The courses are carried out in a lovely and relaxed atmosphere everyone starts at the same level and it’s so nice to be in a group and realise that other people often are experiencing the same as you. If you are unsure if this is for you Alison runs drop in sessions which will give you a taster of what the course involves. If you want to make a difference to your life sign up I’ve not looked back.

I have just completed the mindfulness and meditation course with Alison. If you're thinking about it I truly recommend that you do this course. The content each week has been so interesting and covers something which everyone can relate to in their own lives. It teaches us to slow down and notice what might be triggering our stresses and how that can affect us in so many ways. The course covered lots of ways in which we can calm our minds and bodies and be able to use these methods in many situations, whenever needed. Meditation is such a powerful tool and Alison teaches lots of methods of bringing this into your everyday life and how life-changing it can be. Alison has a wealth of knowledge and with a background in alternative medicines, acupuncture, eft and massage, she knows just how much of an impact stress has on our lives and is dedicated to helping people find proven ways of eradicating stress and to start living the life we deserve. Please do this course!!

Testimonials

What My Clients are Saying
All original testimonials are available on request.

This woman is exceptional in the treatments she gives and provides ... if you have had years of difficulties with pain (physical and emotional), have visited physios, had counselling and various other medical interventions with little or no success, I cannot recommend this woman highly enough. She is amazing... truly. Her knowledge in acupuncture, massage, and her exxperience in treating her clients as a unique individual, and the whole holistic approach she takes, is beyond words. I honestly could not recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Alison for the trust and safe space you have created for me in the sessions I have had with you.

Fantastic experience with Alison, always 5 Star! I even took my friend who enjoyed it thoroughly. Alison talks to you on an emotional level as well as about physical stuff, and it is fantastic talking to someone who really cares. I wouldn't go anywhere else - this experience is 10/10.

Hope Valley Health and Well being recently delivered an online session for one of our clients to mark International Women's Day. The session looked at managing stress, and included a Mindfulness Meditation Practice through doing a body scan. Our clients' female staff reported how useful the found it, by improving their understanding of the signs of stress and giving then grounding techniques to help manage stressful situations. The bodyscan itself was very relaxing and had the effect of leaving us rejuvenated. thank you Alison for managing to deliver such an insightful and therapeutic session to a remote audience!
