Sandra studied in Somerset under a leading teacher in her field, and qualified with the International Federation of Aromatherapy Diploma in 1999. She then went on to study Lymphatic Drainage and Reflexology and incorporates essential oils to both disciplines to enhance the treatment where appropriate. Sandra added Hopi Ear Candling to her qualifications 3 years ago, and completes each treatment with a facial lymphatic massage to help clear sinuses and encourage the body to remove toxins. Ear Candling has proved beneficial to children and adults of all ages, especially with the effects of sinusitis and hayfever.

Coming from a background in horse rehabilitation, I was first introduced to the Bowen Technique when one of my horses was a case study for someone training in equine bowen. I was so impressed with the results that I took my daughter for treatment. She had been diagnosed with a spinal curvature and so after four sessions I took her back for another x-ray and her spine was straight.

Having experienced first hand Bowen’s remarkable results, I began my training with ECBS and qualified in 2004. Since then I have built a busy practice based on personal recommendation and have clinics at The Terrace, Wellington and in Alton, Hampshire. I also run a dedicated children’s clinic. I aim to provide a true health service to my clients by using my knowledge of integrated anatomy to treat the whole person, understanding how many different complaints can be linked.

“For five years or so, I have suffered from the discomfort of IBS, which became particularly acute at times of stress. To relieve the symptoms, I regularly took three different prescription medicines. It was therefore a complete surprise when my Bowen Technique specialist, during the course of my very first treatment (for lower back pain), asked whether I had been experiencing any problems ‘with my digestives’ and duly informed me that the BT would likely help. Indeed, she was 100% correct! Since my very first treatment some 3 months ago, I have not found it necessary to take any medicines or have I experienced the slightest discomfort or other symptoms. Even the bloating has abated! I am a convert – and my back is better too!”
Prof. V. B.

“…I had been referred to physiotherapists and chiropractors, and three months later I was still in as much (back) pain as ever. After three treatments with Kate my pain had improved to just an occasional niggle and I had regained full mobility. I had a fourth treatment and have now made a full recovery – I have my life back” S Redman
