ION trained, BANT and NTC registered, nutritional therapist

About us:

Nutritional therapy isn’t just about helping people to lose weight (though it is commonly used for that). It may also be helpful in addressing a wide range of common, and not so common, health concerns, including:

- Digestive complaints such as constipation, diarrhoea and irritable bowel (IBS).
- Cardiovascular problems, e.g. high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes.
- Allergies and food intolerances.
- Thyroid and other hormonal problems.
- Mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
- Skin conditions, e.g. eczema and psoriasis.
- Asthma, hay fever, osteoporosis, arthritis
and many more…

Nutritional therapy is a complementary, not alternative, discipline. It is an holistic but science-based approach which involves taking a thorough medical history and then devising a protocol involving simple dietary and lifestyle adjustments. The protocol is negotiated and agreed with the client so that it is achievable, thus helping provide motivation and encouragement.

In certain cases medical tests may be recommended in order to determine the root causes of an ill-health condition and, if necessary, supplements may be
part of the treatment protocol in order to speed healing and promote recovery. However, as above, all of this is negotiable.

Note that we can offer reliable allergy and food intolerance testing, based on hard science and using accredited laboratories (they do involve having a blood sample taken though!).

David Riley was trained at the world-renowned Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London. He is registered with the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT) and is also on the register of practitioners held by the Nutritional Therapy Council.

Ayurvedic consultations, massage and beauty therapy, yoga classes

About us:

The word Ayurveda can be translated as the Science of Life, or even the Art of Living. Ayurveda is one of the oldest systems of natural health care, originating in the ancient traditions of India. Now considered one of the leading forms of holistic medicine available in the West, Ayurveda addresses all factors that influence our quality of life.

This holistic science is the knowledge of complete balance of the body, mind and spirit at all levels. It includes in its consideration, longevity, rejuvenation and self-realization therapies through herbs, diet, exercise, yoga, massage, aromas, mantras, and meditation.

According to Ayurveda, most people are born in a perfect state of balance but quickly lose it due to a variety of man-made factors, such as a poor diet, unsuitable lifestyle etc. Ayurveda offers everyone the chance to re-discover for themselves what their optimal conditions might be and thereby begin the journey towards maintaining good health consistently.

The major difference between Ayurveda and conventional medicine lies in the treatment method – while most modern medical treatments operate at the symptomatic level, Ayurvedic treatments work at much deeper causative levels. By balancing the doshas (primary life-forces within the body), the root of the problem is solved.

Ayurveda Retreat is dedicated to awakening balance, healing in individuals. Based upon the principle that our experiences become our biology, we are dedicated to helping people translate their good intentions into great choices. A key tenet of Ayurveda is that the human body has an inner pharmacy, capable of naturally generating the chemistry of happiness and health. We can enliven this inner pharmacy through nurturing sounds, sensations, sights, tastes, smells, and authentic wisdom. Every component of an Ayurveda Retreat experience is designed to eliminate stress and maximise comfort in body, mind, and soul. We help people discover their intrinsic balance and creativity in support of greater success, happiness, and fulfilment in life.

Sarira (Body):

Often described as celestial, these unique massage and body treatments use signature herbal infused oils to release tension, impurities and trapped energy within the body. Each treatment creates a timeless experience that nourishes your body, strengthens your immune system, and revitalises your mind. Services can be performed by either one or two specially trained therapists. Like partners in a dance, these therapists use synchronised rhythmic strokes to take you beyond your current state of mind into deep states of restful and revitalising bliss.

Yoga & Meditation:

We run regular group yoga classes as well as private classes. Private classes take place in our purpose-built yoga studio.

We instruct the following styles of yoga:

Sat-yam-vidya

Satyamvidya Yoga is a balanced, gentle, therapeutic and spiritual form of Yoga. It is based on The Five Layers of Consciousness namely body, breath, mind/emotions, soul, spirit. The consciousness of body, breath, mind and emotions is allowed to awaken and respond to the Yoga practice as a form of self healing, by promoting a personal rhythm and expression, to achieve the optimum potential and well-being.

The soul and spiritual consciousness are gradually explored and developed in peaceful accordance with the individual nature and capacity for accepting his/her own highest Truth, in acknowledgement of the Absolute.

The aim is to provide the tools and skills for healing, self-realisation and development of consciousness in order to integrate that with daily living and to learn to share it with others. All techniques are practiced slowly and gradually, with full attention and awareness to care, consideration, patience, tolerance, acceptance, focus, understanding and peace with oneself, and others.

Reflexology and Complementary Therapies for your total Health and Wellbeing

About us:

Serendipity Holistic Therapies is run by Sarah Finch. I am a fully trained and experienced Reflexologist, and a member of the Association of Reflexologists (MAR).

Reflexology is a holistic therapy in which pressure is applied to acupressure points (reflexes) on the feet, which connect to distinct areas of the body. By working the reflexes on the feet, a response is elicited in the body’s organs, systems and glands, which has beneficial effects on the body, mind and emotions. After your treatment you should feel thoroughly relaxed and invigorated. You should experience calm and a feeling of well-being, as stress and tension are relieved and your blood circulation is improved, leaving all the systems of your body functioning fully and in their natural equilibrium.

Reflexology is beneficial for a wide range of conditions, and I specialise in Maternity Reflexology for sub-fertility, relaxation and wellbeing during and after pregnancy. I also offer other complementary therapy treatments, including Indian Head Massage, Reiki and Hopi Ear Candling.

I am based in Calcot to the west of Reading where I have a treatment room in my home. I work Monday to Thursday from 9:30am to 6:00pm and on alternate Friday afternoons, I work at the Total Health Clinic in Tilehurst. I typically work two or three evenings a week up until around 9:00pm.

For further information about the therapies that I offer, please take a look at my main website or give me a call to have a chat about your requirements.
