 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Had an excellent first consultation. Claire identified a number of issues I’ve been suffering with for some considerable time, and set to work straight away using traditional Osteopathy and dry needling. I left feeling much freer, pain free and found the whole process truly relaxing. I have booked another session as my rather beaten up body will take a little longer, but already I’m feeling much improved.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I’ve been in serious pain for a month. Not much was shifting the pain or resolving the issue and so I went in search of someone who could help me and I found Claire. Claire was truly fantastic when helping me today. Claire listened, was patient, informative, clear with what her approach to how she intended to help me would be and additionally, Claire showed a lot of respect for me and the issue I visited her with (which I believed to be neck and shoulder related). Above all Claire was caring and I can honestly say, after she took the time to listen to me and understand who I am and what I was experiencing with my pain, Claire got straight to it with a very effective holistic treatment and quickly found and resolved the spots troubling me the most. I left Claire’s practice feeling totally different and with a reduction of what I can only articulate to be, as 90%-95% of my pain removed! I cannot thank Claire enough for her time, professionalism and care and I will be back to follow Claire’s guidance with the plan proposed to me. I thank you Claire and I wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone out there who is in need of your treatments and expertise based on my experience with you today.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Magic! Driving home, I could check my blind spots freely and without pain. I went to Claire for help with headaches and migraines. I've had one session and feel so much lighter - my jaw, neck and shoulders move with ease and without pain. I highly recommend Claire. Update Feb 2026: Claire has transformed  my life. I used to have blinding migraines and headaches at least once a week. I've not had any in the last 5 or 6 months after the treatment kicked in. My neck and shoulders are relaxed, and I have more energy. I can go for an hour walk and not need to sleep for 2 or 3 hours afterwards. I go for top-ups when work/life has been stressful to keep my body in check. I will recommend Claire till I'm blue in the face. She's marvellous.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I had my first consultation and session with Claire yesterday for a neck and back issue Ive endured for years. With just one session she was able to tell me what the problem was, she worked her magic and I left feeling like a new person. I’ve had the best sleep Ive had in years. My neck movements are so much better.  Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
