Belinda Mayne

Lymph Drainage Massage

Sports Injury Massage
Deep Tissue Massage
Remedial Masssage

I qualified as a sports remedial massage therapist with the North London School of Sports massage in 2007. Since then I have worked in physiotherapy clinics in London and Sussex and in the South West, close to Bristol and Bath. I still run my Clinics in South London and in West Sussex.

I was fortunate to be chosen as one if the sports massage therapists to work at the London 2012 Olympics working with elite world class athletes.  It was an inspiring and interesting time.
Both young and old can benefit from sports massage and I am committed to helping those with chronic and persistent soft tissue injuries and wear and tear problems.
I develop my practice by regularly attending courses in order to keep myself informed of the latest research and techniques in sports massage therapy.
My practice offers preventative therapy, strategies and hopefully solutions to persistent and long term problems.

Ann Bolus

Reflexology
Facial Energy Release

When I qualified as a Reflexologist over 25 years ago, a whole new world of healing opened up to me and I have continued to work on my personal and professional development.  I now consider myself an holistic therapist who combines all the knowledge and skills that I have gathered into my treatments.

I am a Member of the Association of Reflexologists* and practice Classical, Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT) and Hand reflexology.  I use essential oils and reiki routinely and advise when necessary on diet, exercise and hydration.  I practice yoga daily and realise the importance of breathing well and the benefits of Mindfulness which I promote to all my clients.  I also encourage self-help, showing the areas of the feet and hands that would be beneficial for them to work between sessions with me.

Qualifying as a Facial Energy Release practitioner was a natural progression.  This highly relaxing and rejuvenating therapy is wonderful to receive and a joy to give.

I'm really looking forward to becoming part of the Courtyard Natural Therapy Centre team.

Rob Livesy

Shiatsu

Hi, I'm Rob and I am a qualified shiatsu therapist. I was inspired by the transformative power of chi after training in both tai chi and kung fu. I have always been interested in biology and how the body works and interacts with the environment which is why I studied for my degree in Microbial and Cellular Biology. I love how we are able to increasingly understand how behaviors and our interaction with the environment can affect us on a cellular level, and how science is beginning to understand how holistic therapies work. I enjoy learning how to connect the big picture all the way down to the microscopic.
I started studying martial arts and shiatsu due to a powerful need to be able to manage my emotional health. This has shown me that consistent encouragement and curiosity towards facing a challenge has been the most sustainable approach. It is important to me to embody what I have learnt in my studies, in order to be both authentic and able to effectively communicate understanding of growth on a personal level. I combine daily sustainable practice, balanced with those things I find challenging which results in consistent development.
One of my core beliefs is that we all have the power to heal ourselves and Shiatsu provides the space for that to happen. I look forward to supporting you in your journey.

Homeopathy

I am a graduate from the Practical College of Homeopathy 2006.   I have a passion for homeopathy that has kept me wanting to be involved with different clinics, working with different patients, seeing peoples' life improve with homeopathic help.  In Bath I worked with Maggie Dixon, who is on the board of the Society of Homeopaths.  I taught in the student clinic run by Maggie, at Homeopathy Direct and whilst practising there I saw a wide variety of patients

Hi there, I'm Sam and I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for children and young people and a BACP registered person-cenntred Counsellor. I work with clients aged up to 25 years.
I understand the importance of a safe space to explore and understand feelings, and to consider and become aware of unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Together we can discover how to make positive changes and manage difficult feelings and emotions. I have a number of years experience working in an early intervention, NHS commissioned service, working with children and you people, and their families, around common mental health difficulties such as: anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, social difficulties and bereavement.
I work integratively and I will be led by you - so if you like to work creatively, I'm happy to work alongside you. Or I'm happy to provide space to listen, help make sense of your experience, and find ways to cope and build resilience.
I am based in Wells at Courtyard Natural Health - do make contact so we can organise a time to talk about next steps.

Lynn Whitaker originally worked as an NHS nurse after completing her degree in nursing. She had searched for a solution to her own chronic back, neck and shoulder pain and was so delighted with the relief provided by McTimoney care that she undertook the 4 and a half years training to qualify as a McTimoney Chiropractor.
She has subsequently been treating patients with a variety of musculoskeletal problems for over 20 years.
