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.

Ed & Cheryl
Rays to Serenity
Hi we are Ed & Cheryl from Rays to Serenity. We are a married couple with two children and passionate about helping others create a more healthier lifestyle through complementary therapies. We specialise in Frequency, BEMER, Reiki, scalar therapy and came about these therapies through our own wellness journey having suffered with various chronic health problems ourselves.
All the therapies we use are non invasive and can assist in a wide variety of health issues. Our aim is to now share with you our knowledge and experience of complementary therapies and how it has improved our lifestyle.
As part of an initial session we have a one to one consultation to see where you are and where we can hopefully assist and from this we organise a therapy plan.
So please make contact with us to find out more about what we can offer.
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.
Philip Jones
Relationship therapist
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.

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.
