Andy Pryke

I’m Andy Pryke and I have been practicing the Bowen Technique for 7 years.

In that time I have been frequently amazed by the effectiveness of this gentle hands-on treatment. From the first treatment that I received (which convinced me to train) through the many patients I have treated, some of whom had been seeing bodywork therapists of more well-known, longer-established fields for years prior to Bowen, results are consistently good and at times truly spectacular after only one or two sessions.

The subtle input of the Bowen ‘moves’ relax and stimulate the body to simultaneously repair and re-balance. A Bowen treatment is both a restoration and prevention against future illness and injury. Many professional sports clubs now employ a Bowen Therapist!

Most of the conditions I treat are muscular-skeletal – back pain, sciatica, frozen shoulders, tennis elbow, etc – but I have also had success with hay fever, asthma, migraines and stomach complaints. Whatever your complaint, why not try a Bowen treatment.......Please help yourself to a leaflet at the Centre or alternatively call me to find out more!

Emma Gilmore

Emma is an advanced massage and bodywork therapist, who mainly treats people with painful conditions and dysfunctions. Emma is also able to give a deep tissue therapeutic massage to relieve stress & induce relaxation. Emma continuously updates her skills, bringing you many dimensions to her treatment, she has a bio mechanical approach, but also believes in the innate power of the body to self heal & her work prompts the body to do this.

The approach of every therapist varies enormously, due to their training, clinical & personal experience; equally every patient is completely different & presents a diverse range of issues both emotionally & physically. Emma’s approach is very personal & her main aim is to listen carefully to her client‘s needs and to develop an individual treatment plan, which may vary from session to session, depending on the client‘s specific requirements that day. Even if one person displays the same symptoms as another, their treatments could vary enormously. Using a combination of advanced massage and bodywork techniques, Emma achieves results that constantly surprise her clients.

Emma aims to empower her patients to understand their ailments and to involve them in the healing process, frequently giving easy to follow, practical home care advice. Again this may vary from session to session, as the treatment progresses; she is careful NOT to overwhelm clients with complex suggestions.

A particular interest of Emma’s is restoring space to within the body, believing many conditions arise as a result of compression. The majority of us lead sedentary lives, sitting or standing for long lengths of time. Over years this can lead to painful conditions such as compression of the vertebral column, intevertebral discs and their associated nerves. By simply encouraging space back within the body, Emma aims to reduce pain, increase mobility and client comfort.

Lesley Harper

LESLEY HARPER

After graduating with an engineering degree in 1995 I spent the following ten years working in the manufacturing industry. Throughout this time my own health issues prompted me to explore alternatives to mainstream treatment options. It was here that my interest in nutritional therapy was ignited. I moved from Glasgow to Devon in order to complete my studies for the nutritional therapy diploma with the Kevala Centre; which later became the Natural Healthcare College.

I believe that sound nutrition is the foundation for optimum health. I also strongly believe that an integrated approach to healthcare is the most beneficial for the individual. In my role as a nutritional therapist, I aim to provide appropriate information and achievable recommendations in order for the individual to be able to make informed decisions about their own healthcare.

I am fully insured to practice nutritional therapy and I am a member of the Federation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners.
