Licentiate in Acupuncture

Member of Acupuncture Fertility Network

Member of Association of Acupuncture Clinicians

BA Hons

Owner

Acupuncturist & Fertility Acupuncture Specialist

Medical Massage (Tui Na)

Cupping

Moxa

​

With years of professional experience and extensive specialist training, I offer expert acupuncture treatments rooted in two powerful systems: Five Element and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

 

I trained for 3 years at degree level at the highly respected Acupuncture Academy, graduating in 2020 with top distinction in both practical and theoretical work.

 

I have undertaken further advanced training in cosmetic acupuncture, musculoskeletal conditions, fertility, and more. I am a member of the Acupuncture Fertility Network, meaning I am very highly trained in this area.

​

My approach combines deep clinical knowledge with a genuine commitment to improving your overall health and wellbeing. By treating the root cause of health issues—not just the symptoms—I help clients achieve meaningful, lasting results.

​

I use ultra-fine needles and a gentle, tailored approach that many clients find profoundly relaxing—some even fall asleep during treatment. Every session is designed not just to ease immediate concerns but to create deeper, long-term improvements in your quality of life.

I love to get stuck into helping clients increase their range of movement and reduce pain through deep tissue sports massage.

 

Helping people on their journey to reduce the risk of injuries and aid recovery is what I enjoy the most.

Canine Nutrition Consultant

​

I've worked in the pet industry for over 29 years, with 22 of those specialising in canine nutrition. My approach is practical and supportive, helping both dogs and their owners with tailored advice on diet, supplements, and daily lifestyle.

 

I regularly support dogs with issues such as kidney disease, skin conditions, digestive concerns, and pancreatitis.

​

Alongside my qualifications in Nutritional Therapy, I’ve consulted for pet food companies including Natures Menu, Phoenix Bark, and The Farmer’s Dog. I’m also an award-winning training provider for Ofqual-regulated qualifications in Canine Nutrition, run the Natural Dog Expo conference, and have written two published books. I’m proud to be a founding associate of the Association of Pet Nutrition Consultants and serve on the committee of the Raw Feeding Veterinary Society.

​

Most importantly, I’m “mum” to my rescue dog Foosa. I’m one of those people who can’t walk past a dog without saying hello—and I believe in soul-based work that speaks from the heart.

Jo Webber

Diploma in Hypnotherapy

Member of The Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association

Hypnotherapist

​

I am a fully qualified clinical hypnotherapist and sleep practitioner. I studied with the Hypnotic World International Academy of Hypnotherapy and gained my Diploma in Professional Hypnotherapy and I am a member of the Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association. I'm fully insured, DBS checked and work with both adults and children.

​

Hypnotherapy is a powerful form of therapy that embraces the subconscious of the individual. This enables the individual to make huge changes in a relatively short period of time that are long lasting and life changing. Hypnotherapy carries a very high success rate of 93% and can treat many emotional, mental, physical and habitual issues.

​

I really enjoy helping people resolve their issues and get the most out of life. Improving people's daily lives and helping them reach the goals that they thought were out of reach. It is a privilege to help guide people through the dark times to the lighter times they deserve.

Sue Perks

Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling

Member of the NCPS

Counsellor

​

My name is Sue. I am a warm, empathic Therapeutic Counsellor with over 10 years experience.

I am an accredited member of the NCPS (The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society)

 

I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space in which you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings and talk through any difficulties you may be experiencing.

 

Issues I work with include stress, anxiety and depression, anger, relational problems, bereavement and loss, trauma, self esteem, confidence, coping with life changes, ASD, young adult issues, LGBTQ+, sexuality/ identity.

 

I work in an integrative way which means I am able to combine different approaches and ideas to suit your specific needs.

I use a client led approach, which means working with you, at your pace. Together we can explore what is right for you.

 

An open and trusting therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and the client is the start of where change can begin, which in turn will enable you to move forward, improve your mental health, wellbeing and lead a more fulfilling life.

 

Taking the first step to begin therapy can take courage.

If you are ready to take that step and move towards positive change, I am here to support you on that journey. '

Louise Roisin

Diploma in Theraputic Counselling

Member of BACP

Counsellor

​​

Having experienced personal difficulties with anxiety and burnout several years ago I made the decision to find a Counsellor. I saw and felt the power in talking therapy and in doing so experienced personal growth and was able to heal.

​

I have 18 years experience in Social Care and the NHS in secondary mental health services with adults in the community, hospital and hospice settings. The experience of working with people from all backgrounds who have faced different challenges due to their personal circumstances has given me a foundation for my counselling practice. 

​

I have experience of supporting people in their homes and within care facilities. I have provided support for family members who become their loved one’s carers.

​

Due to my experience, I can hold space for people who are experiencing the symptoms of dementia or other diagnosis and for their loved ones too. If you feel you or your loved one need someone to talk to about the challenges please do make contact, I would be happy to provide a listening ear.

​

My time in those roles taught me everyone has their story that leads them to needing support and working as a counsellor has enabled me to create time and space to explore with people what has caused distress and emotional discomfort.

​

So, if any of this resonates with you, let us connect to help you move towards, a deeper understanding of self, growth and building your confidence through humanistic therapy.

​

Recently, I volunteered at a North Devon Secondary School with children 16+ and I currently volunteer as a Counsellor for the charities Clarity and North Devon Against Domestic Abuse.

​

I'm a fully qualified and experienced Yoga Instructor and Massage Therapist, devoted to helping people feel nurtured, revived, and rebalanced through massage and bodywork. My love for massage grew from my background in yoga and my belief in the power of touch as a healing tool.

​

I create a safe, supportive space where clients can reconnect with inner peace. Each treatment is tailored to individual needs, drawing from a range of therapies including Thai (yoga) Massage, Swedish, Detox, Facial Uplift, and Foot Massage with acupressure.

​

I’ve helped coordinate yoga and wellness holidays in the UK and abroad, especially in Ibiza, where I lived and worked as both a therapist and teacher. My business was born from a love of healthy living, sunshine, the sea, and the vibrant Spanish lifestyle.

My passion is to help you re-empower yourself, improve your well-being, and restore your inner glow.

Zoe Browning

Licentiate in Homeopathy

Homeopathy

​

I am a fully qualified homeopath, specialising in children’s behavioural and emotional health, though I treat people of all ages.

​

My passion lies in restoring vitality and wellbeing. I work closely with children and families to uncover the root causes of imbalance—whether physical, emotional, or developmental—and I support the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

​

Rather than simply treating symptoms, I focus on understanding when and why issues began, aiming to address the underlying cause for long-term healing. My approach is holistic, compassionate, and guided by both my training and experience.

Homeopathic remedies are gentle yet powerful. They work in harmony with the body to stimulate self-healing, without the side effects of conventional medicine. Remedies are safe for children and tailored to each individual—there truly is a remedy for everything, and finding the right one is at the heart of my work.

Cryopen

​

Before finding my true passion in aesthetics, my career was always centered around helping people, moving from healthcare and the fire rescue service to teaching swimming.  Outside of the clinic, you’ll usually find me doing CrossFit and enjoying my 3 beautiful boys. 

​

For me, it’s not about changing how you look, but about making you feel absolutely incredible and happy in your own skin.

I believe aesthetic medicine should feel empowering and understated—helping you look refreshed, not overdone.
