My first qualification was in Hypnotherapy, and like most businesses it was slow to start, but slowly and steadily the business started to build up. I then started Massage and lots of other associated disciplines and the hypnotherapy more or less ceased. I then stopped advertising it and only mentioned it to my clients. Suddenly I have received many enquiries and hopefully many satisfied clients. The same thing happened with other lesser known therapies.

I think there is a danger of offering everything you do on a plate as it can be overwhelming and clients don't always know which treatment is best for them.

I strongly believe it is the outcomes that clients wish to achieve that is important as opposed to the therapy they need. This is why a consultation is vital. I cover many disciplines and am able to advise clients which treatments I believe are best and because I offer a varitey of therapies I may use more that one type within one session.

A therapist never stops training. We are either talking to other therapists, reading magazine articles, going on more workshops, or studying. Occasionally you think that although there is no more you can take in.

One of the richest sources of information is your client. An opportunity should not be missed is asking a willing client for more information about any presenting issues they may have. Whilst you can always look up signs and symptoms, this information cannot tell you how it makes them feel, how it effects their lives and wellbeing. This information is crucial to the healing process and helps you to attune to your client.

Your head is heavy and to be kind to yourself it should be kept well balanced. Don’t get used to those aches, take action now.

You can ease the strain immediately, put your feet flat on the floor, push your bottom to the back of your chair, pull in your tummy muscles and sit up straight.

If you want to really feel you are giving yourself a fresh start, move away from the screen, stand up, shake out your muscles, walk to a door, tuck in your bottom and tummy, let your spine lie against the door and straighten out your shoulders. Then adopt a different posture as you sit down again.

There are many ways you can help yourself to care for your body and I plan to share some tips with you in this website.

For the times when you struggle to make a difference yourself come and see me at the Freedom Leisure Centre in Uckfield.

I am a qualified and respected masseur and hypnotherapist and can help iron out some of the knots and aches that build up over time and which slow you down and which affect your mental well-being as well as physical.
I tailor treatment to suit individual clients. That means I make no assumptions about your health and the therapy that will benefit you the most.

I listen as you tell me where pain has developed or discomfort is growing, I learn about your lifestyle and the strains you are under and then suggest the best way of proceeding.

To learn more please call me on 079 1234 4954, email me on info@marianchild.co.uk or visit my website first at http://marianchild.co.uk

That applies whether you would like to pass the time of day or whether there is a problem on your mind – perhaps a sudden unexplained ache or pain or something that has been niggling away in your mind for some time. Sometimes five minutes of my time can be enough to make a difference and set your mind, and body, at rest.

My room is a haven from the stresses and cares of everyday life and I have a range of therapies that can help clients with different needs, from therapeutic massage to sports massage, to blissful Thai foot massage and reflexology.

I also offer pregnancy massage equally helpful for women whose bodies are changing as they prepare to be a mum and for those who cannot lie on their fronts perhaps due to injury, recent operation or purely because they are not comfortable that way.

So, I’ve got the lighting right, the room is warm, secure and welcoming, my training is top notch and best of all I know that what I do is making a difference to people’s lives.

I know that because clients have written testimonials about how they have been helped. Read them on my website at http://www.marianchild.co.uk/testimonials.html and if there comes a time when you might benefit from my help please feel free to call me.

My telephone number is 079 1234 4954, or if you prefer you could email me on info@marianchild.co.uk. More information about the treatments I offer can be found on my website at http://marianchild.co.uk.

A successful week of Sports Massage demonstrations were held in the gym at Freedom Leisure Uckfield.

The purpose of the demonstrations was to show people what a sports massage is. Most people were not aware of the difference between a massage and a sports massage, so I was able to demonstate a few techniques...

I was priveleged to be able to work with many people over the course of the week, working on many different issues, such as backaches, neckaches not to mention tight calves and hamstrings. Not able was I able to demonstrate different techniques, but was able to offer advice - which I call "Homework". I would like to thank the Gym staff and volunteers for making this possible.
