Stephanie has been practising massage since 2006 after qualifying in Remedial Massage with The Northern Institute of Massage, based in Bury Greater Manchester. Her background is one of personal training but during her study of massage she decided on a complete career change after experiencing first hand the beneficial results of deep tissue massage.
She quickly went on to qualify in pregnancy and baby massage later in 2006 before travelling to Thailand to study Traditional Thai Massage at Wat Po Medical School in Bangkok in 2008. She also practises Manual Lymphatic Drainage and effectively uses all her skills and experience to provide a truly unique and effective treatment to help a wide variety of ailments. Her vision has been to work with other therapists and practitioners to bring bodily awareness, health and wellbeing to as many people as possible, taking a conscious whole body approach when treating every individual.  Laura began by taking an ITEC Anatomy and Physiology Diploma in 2004 which fuelled her fascination and knowledge of the body and its various systems. She continued her studies in 2004/2005 learning Holistic Massage through which gave her a greater understanding of the effect massage can have on the body, how it works and how to manipulate the muscles to relieve tension. In 2005 Laura also undertook an Aromatherapy Diploma which sparked her interest into the power of essential oils. The course concentrated on 42 essential oils learning everything about their origins, chemical construction and their therapeutic effects. Since becoming a qualified Aromatherapist Laura’s love of aromatherapy has grown so much so that she now has a true understanding of how oils can affect the mind, body and spirit of a person. In the summer of 2005 Laura became self employed so she could begin practicing all that she learned while in school, and she hasn’t looked back since. At the beginning of 2007 she also qualified in On-Site Massage which focuses much more on stress and how to deal with it, which has given Laura another tool she can use whilst treating patients. Laura also found that making products for her clients has been very beneficial in their aftercare and for this reason she is now developing her own range of natural organic and botanical handmade cosmetics. She uses the essential oils and holistic principles behind them so that she can have an affect on all aspects of our health and well-being. From Laura: “The most exciting part of my career so far has to be opening The Conscious Health Centre. With this place my partners and I hope to create a calm and comfortable atmosphere for anyone and everyone who needs help or just a cuppa and a chat.” Qualifications: ITEC Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology

During her three years working as a Chiropractic Assistant Erin developed a keen interest in holistic therapies. She was drawn to Reiki in 2006, at a time of instability and change in her life. After completing her Level One (self-healing) course Erin found a sense of peace and clarity of mind that helped her overcome fears that were holding her back. She enrolled in an MA in Creative Writing to pursue her dream of being a novelist and screenwriter. Through continued self-healing practice, Erin’s connection to Reiki deepened, aiding her creativity and increasing her spiritual awareness. Acknowledging the intense changes Reiki had helped create in her life, Erin decided to take the Level Two Practitioner course in May 2008 so she could offer healing treatments to others. Erin believes strongly in the healing power of the universal life energy that surrounds and infuses all of us.

By providing a safe healing space during Reiki treatments Erin aims not only to help her clients improve their health and wellbeing, but also assist their self-empowerment so they too may realise their true potential.

 Denis started his career in the field of sales/management, spanning more than 35 years, he has always been involved in connecting with people. It came to a point when he realised that his true purpose, plain and simple, was to help people achieve their goals.
Since the new millenium Denis has studied self development, focussing upon both success and failure. Denis has learned that there is a commonality between the two; it is in the power of the mind. When Denis first discovered NLP (neuro linguistic programming) he found that he was particularly drawn to its impact upon holistic development, and quickly learned the skills to help people in working towards what they want, rather than what they don't want. In 2003 Denis became fascinated with EFT (emotional freedom technique) and immediately started using it with unexpected amazing results. In order to personalise his service, Denis has been able to blend both NLP and EFT techniques in order to help others overcome their: phobias, cravings/addictions, fears, stresses and negative emotions. Denis is always jovial and believes that using his sense of humor aids in the rapport and benifit with his clients.
