Aromatherapy

Gentle beneficial therapy that's available to all.

Using natural ingredients, such as essential oils and herbal extracts, to create treatments which promote mental and physical wellbeing.

  • Reduce anxiety and ease depression
  • Aide sleep and relaxation
  • Reduce pain, relieve headaches and increase circulation

Aromatherapy massage can have several benefits. Aromatherapy affects the body in two main ways. The inhalation of aromatherapy oils affects the nervous system, changes heart rate, breathing, digestive functions, stress levels, and triggers memory.

Aromatherapy essential oils, when applied to the skin in a massage, travel through the skin into the blood vessels and directly into the blood stream. It is thought that from there they have powerful affects on the body such as aiding digestion, relieve anxiety, re-balance hormones, and relieve pain to name but a few.

Practitioner: Anwar Ratha
Treatments: Aromatherapy, Holistic Massage, Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Sports Massage, Thai Massage

In 2005, I qualified with a diploma in Aromatherapy.  In 2010 I graduated with a BSc Hons in Complementary Health and joined Wellspring as a massage practitioner.

I work with many health issues and I always try my best to help every individual. What I love about my job is seeing a client walk into my room with pain, sad facial expressions and worry but leave the room smiling, with more energy and improved movement.

I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists.  Membership requires therapists to demonstrate regular CPD training and skills updates.

Practitioner: Barney Scott Rhythm
Treatments: Reiki

Barney has been studying Reiki for more than 15 years. He originally trained and earned his certificates in Reiki 1&2 in India whilst travelling. It was on this journey that he learned the art of self healing and the use of energy work.

He decided to take his practice even further about 8 years ago by retraining with a renowned Reiki master in Bristol. He retook his certificates again over a 2 year period which gave him a deeper connection and greater understanding of how to best use this Universal energy.

He currently supports and treats a wide variety of people across Bristol. Including Off The Record, Bristol Drugs project, Cityzen Yoga, Stonebridge Park Hostel (places for people) and individuals in his private practice.

His mission is to help as many people as he can to cope with life’s problems and to start them on their own self healing journey.

Practitioner: Trevor Jefferies
Treatments: McTimoney Chiropractic, Diversified Chiropractic

I qualified as a chiropractor from McTimoney College of Chiropractic. Since graduating I have undergone extensive training in the Diversified Chiropractic technique. Understanding both these techniques gives me the opportunity to choose which adjustment is appropriate to the patient and when to apply them.

Alongside these techniques I am also qualified in soft tissue work and personal training. My expertise and experience in these areas gives me a unique and complete Chiropractic approach. The added value of these additional skills means I have the ability to relieve muscle tone as well as provide individual exercise rehabilitation and rehabilitation programmes.

My aim is not for clients to be dependent on chiropractic care to live with pain but to be able to self-manage and limit the experience of discomfort in everyday life through the understanding of their condition and actively participating in programmes provided.
