Lauren

Integrative Counsellor

I am an integrative counsellor bringing elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, gestalt, creativity and humour into my sessions. My practice is underpinned by inclusivity and a person-centred approach, and I believe in the healing qualities of nature and bring this to my practice, both working in a therapy room and in walk and talk sessions. I work with both teenagers and adult clients. I have a holistic approach to wellbeing and am currently training to be a TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) Practitioner. In addition to my private practice I work therapeutically with young people in care and for a youth charity.

Christine

Homoeopathy and vega testing

I began studying homeopathy in 2003 and went on to qualify in Vega Testing, Nutrition and Reiki to develop different ways to help people with healing.

I’m happy when I’m learning so I attend regular continuing professional development events and also any workshops that take my fancy.

I live with my husband and our rescue collie and have a higgledy-piggledy blended family who live all over the country and whom I cherish dearly.

I love the beach, whatever the weather or tide, and countryside walks even if it’s sticky and muddy. I also relish quiet times by the fire with a good book and mellow music.

I aim to help people see new possibilities for health in mind and body and to assist them on their path to wellness.

Miho

Somatic Energetics

In 2015 I had my first experience of Somatic Energetics during which my long-held and subconscious anger, sadness, and even joy, were discovered and then released. For a long time I had been examining my life in the hope of finding my true self within my soul. What happens to me on the outside is a story written by none other than myself. I believe connecting to the true self gives me the vantage point that enables me to accept all things and to appreciate my life as is. Somatic Energetics is a very reliable and efficient method to help all that process. I say that with conviction from my own experience of it. I became a practitioner of this method in 2018 and started the practice in Japan and England. When the Covid restrictions were finally lifted I received further training in 2024. I feel ready to be of service assisting in the process of letting go of old beliefs and of finding the wings to freedom. “Only you yourself can decide to be truly free” – and so shall you.

Mike Potter

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine

I am an acupuncturist and herbalist and teacher. I have been in practice for over 40 years

Here in the UK, traditional acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) are relatively recent additions to the range of healthcare options available to us, but there is nothing new about this. Acupuncture and herbal medicine have been the primary healthcare choice in countries like China, Japan and Korea for centuries.

All around the world people visit traditional acupuncturists and herbalists for help with everything from acute pain – like arthritis and migraines – to complex disorders that can seem difficult to resolve.

Combined, traditional acupuncture and CHM are a complete, evidence-based healthcare system that stimulates your body’s natural healing responses. For thousands of years, it has been refined through research, observation and practical application to successfully treat disorders of all the body’s function – digestion, immunity, breathing, hormonal, cardiovascular, fertility, mental and emotional health.

Anna Wells 

I use acupuncture and adjunct techniques (cupping, guasha and moxibustion) to support people who are experiencing challenging times and are looking for viable, holistic healthcare alternatives.  I practice acupuncture in alignment with Classical lineage based Chinese Medicine traditions. After obtaining my acupuncture degree and Licentiate at the prestigious College of Integrated Chinese Medicine (validated by Kingston University), I spent a further 18 months studying within a Classical lineage.

With most of my adult life spent living in India I have been inspired by the acceptance and integration of traditional medical systems within mainstream healthcare, both for humans and animals.

Chinese medicine treats each person as unique and two patients with the same western diagnosis are likely to be treated quite differently. The diagnostic tools used by acupuncturists are pulse taking, tongue diagnosis, palpation and observation in order to identify imbalances, diagnose and inform a tailor-made treatment strategy.

My continued professional development involves the study of Chinese herbs and Tuina (Chinese Medical Massage).

Philip Jones

EVENING CLASSES FOR COUPLES 

Every intimate relationship starts with an initial inspiration. However, maintaining that early commitment over the long term can be challenging. Couples experience differences over parenting, finances, work/life balance, your partner’s parents, unemployment, sexual intimacy, arguing too much, health issues… All of these bring stresses that are hard to manage together.

Modern couples therapy  has studied why couples argue and how they can find repeatable ways back to the initial inspiration of their loving connection.

Philip will be offering an 8-week series of evening classes introducing a small number of couples to the basic principles underlying successful couples therapy. 

They will take place on Monday evenings from 7 to 9pm at HealthSource in Totnes from October 28t to December 16th inclusive.

Philip Jones is a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, a Registered Erotic Blueprint Sex Coach and is trained as a Level 3 Internal Family Systems Couples Therapist.

Rowan Woodhouse

Certified Breathwork guide and trainer

As a certified breathwork guide and trainer with the Hale Center in Stockholm I create a safe and supportive environment to allow people access the full power of the breath and go deep into your experience.

Breathwork encompasses a range of conscious breathing techniques with the aim of influencing physical, emotional, or mental states. Depending on which technique this can lead to altered states of consciousness, trauma release, deep relaxation, improved breathing function and enhanced overall well-being. These techniques vary from straightforward techniques, such as slow deep abdominal breathing to relieve stress, to more intricate and energetic patterns to enter altered states of consciousness, each offering distinct benefits and applications.

In my bi-weekly Tuesday evening 1 hour Elixir sessions we use connected conscious breathing techniques and breath holds and this class is a great way to reset, access emotions and increase creativity on a regular basis.

In my monthly Saturday afternoon 3 hour Mystic sessions we use various connected conscious breathing techniques to go deep and connect with your emotional core, physiological memories and potentially access hidden treasures within.

Aly Whitley

RMN Dip (ITEC) NHF

Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist. I provide a mobile phlebotomy service and use live and dried blood analysis in my consultations.

The blood is our life force. It delivers nutrients and oxygen, hormones and neurotransmitters, and has many other functions, to 40 trillion cells, the cells that we are made of. We have 60,000 miles of capillaries and the blood circulates the entire body every 3 mins.

Darkfield Microscopy looks at dried and live blood samples magnified by 1000x. We can observe the health and state (terrain)of the blood at that particular time, which will give indications along with an in depth consultation about the health of the person and what needs to be done first.
If we want optimum physical and mental performance from our body we need to ensure our cells are equipped with the right tools.

Quilene Le Roux

Holistic Creative Therapeutic Arts Practitioner (IPHM Accredited)

I am an artist, multi passionate creative and workshop facilitator. I love creating a safe and inspiring space where we can explore different therapeutic processes with paint, pastel, journaling, clay work, and collage to name a few.

Having walked my own healing journey, I am now beyond excited to share this therapeutic medicine with you.

What I love about this form of expressive art is that all feelings are welcome. I truly believe we are all creative and with the right support are able to open up and heal those parts that are ready to be witnessed.

When we slow down and become mindful, we can connect to our inner creative. I invite you to be curious… allowing the journey inward to unfold.

I welcome curiosity calls to discuss how this holistic approach can support your unique path to healing and creative expression.

No art experience required.
