A calm, bright treatment room with a couch, a folded blanket and a tall house plant by a window at a home clinic in Chorley.

If you've been searching for "holistic" or "complementary therapy in Chorley", you might be wondering what it actually involves. It's a fair question, and there's a lot of jargon out there. So here's a plain-English guide to what I offer at my home clinic in Chorley, and what a session is really like.

What does "complementary" mean?

A complementary therapy is something you might choose alongside your usual care, not instead of it. Your GP, physio or any other professional you see still comes first. I'm always happy for you to check with them before booking, and I'll ask about your health before we start so I can make sure a session suits you.

Bowen

Bowen is a gentle, hands-on therapy developed by Tom Bowen in Australia. It uses small, light rolling moves over the muscles and fascia, with short pauses in between. During those pauses I step out of the room and you simply rest. There's no cracking, no deep pressure and no oils, and you stay fully clothed.

Fascia Release

Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps around every muscle. Fascia Release is slow, steady hands-on work at a pace that suits you. It's a little different in feel from Bowen, and some people like to try both.

Reiki

Reiki is a quiet, calm session where you lie fully clothed and I place my hands lightly on or just above you. Lots of people simply enjoy it as time to be still.

What to expect

  • A friendly chat first. Your first Bowen visit is about an hour, because we start by talking about you and your health. Follow-ups are about 45 minutes.

  • A quiet room. My clinic is a calm space at my home in Chorley, not a busy spa.

  • No pressure. You're never expected to book a course. Come once, or come back when it suits you.

Many people tell me they find their session relaxing, and that it's nice to have time where nobody needs anything from them. Everyone is different, though, and I'll never promise a particular result.

  • Bowen first visit: £50 (about an hour)

  • Bowen follow-up: £45 (about 45 minutes)
