After
gaining a BSc. Hons. Degree in Biological Sciences at the University of
Exeter, I spent eight years working for Reuters as a Data Analyst. It
was during this time that I first became aware of complementary
therapies, when I finally found a cure through Health Kinesiology for a
serious wheat allergy. In 1995 I began learning Reflexology, Crystal
Therapy and Aromatherapy, and soon found I had discovered my true
vocation. I became a full time professional therapist in 1998 working in
Axminster, Exeter and Tiverton. Then I spent over nine years as a
therapist in Barnstaple, and opened my own successful Violet
FlameTherapy Centre, I finally ended the daily two hour commute and
traffic jams when the Barnstaple council pedestrianised the road I
worked on. I now work at a more relaxed pace in my home town of
Tiverton. Since 1995 I have added considerably to my qualifications,
which are listed below.
Gift vouchers may be purchased by

Tiverton, Devon EX16 4EB. All the treatment sessions last an hour,
except where otherwise stated.
Aromatherapy massage
Please note I specialise in aromatherapy/massage for healing and remedial purposes only. I do not offer massage for sensual pleasure, or massage of the buttocks, under the armpits or any erogenous zones.
This
is a moderately firm massage, which includes massage of the back,
shoulders, neck, legs, arms, stomach, hands and feet, with a wide range
of healing aromatic essential oils to choose from. In 1996 I gained the
top grade of the class in the I.T.E.C. aromatherapy qualification.
Following that qualification I completed extra remedial massage training
with the Stewart Mitchell School of Complementary Therapies in Exeter,
Fragrant Earth in Glastonbury and with a Cornish massage school, near
Penzance. That training has allowed me to offer remedial massage for
sore or pulled muscles, back ache and sports injuries. I frequently
offer a combination of back, shoulders or leg massage with Bowen therapy
for the runners and fitness practitioners in my local area.
Fee - £30.00 per hour.
"I feel so much better and more confident in myself now" - Tiverton runner.
"
I feel like I'm floating on air now ... no pain at all" - A public
comment made on Facebook, following a combined session of massage and
Bowen - Tiverton running trainer.
Bowen Therapy
This
is a gentle alternative to Chiropractic and Osteopathy. Fingers and
thumbs are rolled lightly over muscles through light clothing, to
alleviate muscle tension and pain in the back, neck, legs or arms. It is
very effective at alleviating "frozen shoulder", tennis elbow and knee
and ankle problems. Qualification gained with Julian Baker at Bowtech
UK, and then also with Michael Nixon-Livy in his Neurostructural
Integration Bowen technique. £30.00 per hour. (£55.00 in total for the first two treatments, which are taken one week apart).
Maybe
you've never heard of Bowen therapy. That doesn't mean you shouldn't
try it. It's a very gentle treatment, but it has a powerful effect. I
have straightened out spine problems, adjusted lopsided hips, fixed
frozen shoulders, cleared away sciatica and relieved runners problems -
including Achilles tendon, IT band and calf pain, hamstring injuries,
shin splints and plantar fasciatis. If you've injured yourself or are in
pain, just check out the testimonials below, which are a small
selection of comments from happy, pain-free clients.

Crystal Therapy
Crystals
have a therapeutic effect on the body’s electromagnetic energy, which
governs brain waves, muscular tone, circulation and emotional balance.
Gemstones are placed on and around the body in a specific pattern to
alleviate emotional and psychological imbalances, pain, hyperactivity,
insomnia, depression, bereavement or toxicity. Crystal Therapy and
Anatomy and Physiology Certificates gained with Sue and Simon Lilly at
the Institute of Crystal and Gem Therapy. £30.00 per hour.
Health Kinesiology/ Allergy Testing
Health
Kinesiology combines muscle testing with holding and balancing points
on specific meridians, to bring relief from a wide range of health
problems, such as allergies, asthma, hyperactivity, IBS, fertility
problems and other emotional and psychological imbalances. Health
Kinesiology is best known in the profession for testing and ridding up
to 70% of all known allergies. Qualification gained with Jane Thurnell
Read in Health Kinesiology and Touch for Health.
£38.00 per hour and a half.
"I
don't completely understand what you do, but I seem to go off into a
kind of dream state for a bit, whilst you're doing the healing. ...I
feel better already." Comment by S. V. Tiverton, on receiving a Health
Kinesiology allergy correction for respiratory problems.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy
helps to dispel many psychological problems such as phobias, and also
addictions such as nail biting or smoking, exam nerves and
self-confidence issues, etc. Hypnotherapy is generally more successful
than counselling, as the gentle trance techniques used to change the
brain waves from beta to alpha put the mind into a relaxed state, which
is much more receptive to the acceptance of therapeutic suggestions. I
specialise in releasing stuck childhood belief patterns instigated
though mental, emotional and physical abuse, and also in weight loss
stemming from emotional ,
but not physical - such as Diabetes - or drug prescription related
causes. Weight loss and releasing childhood emotional trauma is combined
with one or more one and a half hour sessions of Health Kinesiology.
Contact Cathie for details. Qualification gained in hypnosis and
hypnotherapy with Wilf Proudfoot at the Proudfoot School of Hypnosis and
Psychotherapy, Scarborough.
£70.00
in total for two sessions, lasting one and a half hours per session.
Further single sessions are £40 per one and a half hour session.
Past Life and Regression Hypnotherapy/Quantum Healing.
My training in Advanced Past Life Regression Therapy and Quantum Healing was was completed with Dolores Cannon in in 2010. Her special techniques are used to resolve problems that arise from childhood and past lives, and also to
alleviate trauma, sexual abuse, phobias or soul loss. They can also be
used for inner child healing or research into past experiences in the current or a previous lifetime. Clients are asked to bring a set of up to 10 personal issues that they need help with to solve, and during the session their subconscious is asked to provide answers and initiate any healing needed in the current lifetime, arising from the past life they have experienced in their session. Clients are helped to remember the details of their experience, but their sessions can also be taped if they require a record of it.
The fee is £68.00 for a two hour and a half hour+ session.
Please call me on 01884 259130 if you require further information
Testimony from a grateful client - "Thank you so much - you've made my day - in fact you've made my lifetime!" - G. D. G., Winscombe, Somerset.
