therapists
elise jaye, massage therapist, reflexologist, life coach
Elise's style of remedial massage is intuitive, and her clients find her approach nurturing and soothing - the result is often a combination of restored energy and deeper relaxation. Working energetically across a range of modalities, her treatments are personalised to suit individual needs - a massage can be combined with a reflexology treatment, aura clearing and chakra balancing or ear candling, or a guided visualisation. Offering holistic life coaching, Elise is equipped to support you through implementing change, illuminating your inner resources and strengths. 'Creating opportunities for self-attention and nurturing is something I deeply honour - not as a luxury but vital to a way of living that is balanced and full'.

Her classes are relaxed and uplifting with genuine attention given to the individual needs of each person.

anita oates, counsellor
“Learning to be happy is serious business but I believe that each person’s story is unique and meaningful and can provide infinite possibilities. The confusion and uncertainty we can experience at periods in our lives is normal and healthy and with guidance we can gain the confidence to make choices that help develop a sense of purpose. Our lives can be creative expressions of that purpose.” With 16yrs counselling work in the personal development field and having undertaken further studies in crisis, grief and existential therapies, Anita is offering sessions in counselling and workshops in Lifeskills and Personal Development. Her work is suitable for people looking for direction in life or those who wish to work on deep seated issues.
