Alexis Pfeiffer MLC. Hom Dip I.H. MARH

alexisAlexis trained at the Lakeland College of Homeopathy and later completed a two year post-graduate course in Integrative Homeopathy.  She is a member of the Alliance of Registered Homeopaths and abides  by its professional Code of Ethics and Practice.

Alexis practises Integrative Homeopathy which means that she treats imbalances in the body and mind using a holistic approach depending on a person's individual needs. She uses homeopathic remedies, tissue salts and a wide range of flower essences and gem elixirs. Flower essences are ideal for supporting emotional or stress-related problems and they work very gently to unblock resistance to change. Homeopathic remedies work by gently stimulating the immune system so that the body starts to heal itself. A wide range of acute and chronic conditions, whether physical mental or emotional can respond to homeopathic treatment. Alexis also looks at diet and lifestyle and gives advice on the best form of exercise and methods of relaxation that would be beneficial.

Alexis has always enjoyed working with individuals on a deep level and as a qualified counsellor, she is experienced in dealing with all kinds of personal problems and emotional issues. She always endeavours to create a respectful trusting relationship in which clients can feel safe to explore emotional issues.

Francesca Cairns MA, ITEC, MIPTI, CthA

http://www.muswellhealingarts.com/images/francesca_cairns.jpg

During my studies at the Churchill Centre in 1982 my tutors advised me that I had a real aptitude for physical therapeutics and I should take the ITEC Certificate in Anatomy, Physiology and Massage. I sat the examination and to my delight passed with credit. From there I started to practice at a small multi-disciplinary clinic in Hampstead and The Aromatherapy Centre in Hendon. From 1984 to 1989 I continued my studies and received Certificates and Diplomas in Sports Injury & Therapy and Teaching from ITEC and a Certificate in Colour Therapy taught by Theo Gimbel.
By the mid nineties I felt I needed to rekindle my passion for my skills and returned to education at the University of Westminster to study a Master of Arts in Therapeutic Bodywork. I spent a wonderful 2 years immersed in a world of exploration of physical discipline in all its forms, both Eastern and Western and emerged with a Masters Degree in 1997.

Julia Moore

julia portraitI have worked in, researched, written about, and been deeply absorbed by holistic health for nearly two decades.
Much of my inspiration to study this field has come from benefiting personally from natural healing techniques and working at the Haelan Centre as a Health Advisor and as the Clinic's Practice Manager.
My experience and understanding is that our body is always working towards health and wholeness, all we have to do is to work with, rather than against it. With the many conflicting health messages we come across in the media, finding out what's truely healthy can become a full time job! I have seen many a fad come and go - Holistic Lifestyle Coaching enables you to identify what way of eating, moving and living that suits you.
I have trained as a yoga teacher and therapist, a meditation teacher, a massage therapist, a reiki healer (Level I) and have done several trainings in anatomy and physiology. In addition I have trained in Holistic Lifestyle Coaching with CHEK Institute. This simple yet effective method forms the basis of the way I work to guide and inspire you towards improved health and wellbeing.

Julia practices at the Haelan Clinic:
on Wednesday and Fridays from 9am - 3:30pm, other times are available - please contact Julia

Julia Peters RSHom. BACP Accred.

portrait julia petersI have over 20 years experience as a counsellor and a homeopath, and find many problems respond really well to this combined approach.  I have worked at the Haelan Clinic in Crouch End since 2002.

If you find yourself reading this profile, you are probably experiencing one or more of a range of emotions, which may include lack of self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship issues or other difficult experiences. Most of us will feel this way at some point in our lives.

I trained as an existential therapist, but over the years I have integrated the most effective skills of the main contemporary approaches (Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy/CBT and person-centred.) The benefits to you are that the therapy will be tailored to your individual needs and personal circumstances

In addition to individual psychotherapy I have recently trained in ‘family constellations’, a more systemic approach to therapy. I find this wider perspective enables me to appreciate the importance of both the client’s free will, and the powerful, and often conflicting, forces of the family system; the latter often dominate our best conscious intentions. Constellations provides awareness and an opportunity to release oneself from past patterns.
I  currently facilitate regular monthly Family Constellation workshops at the Haelan.  If, like many people, you are uncomfortable with groups, I also offer individual and couple sessions using this approach.

I have been a fully qualified homeopath since 1988 and see a number of clients purely in this capacity. I am happy to include homeopathic remedies, at no extra cost, as part of the counselling process. This approach is ideal where the concerns are both physical and psychological, for example severe PMS, panic attacks, or depression arising from a debilitating illness such as ME.

I am accredited with the BACP, and am down to earth, experienced and professional. The most difficult step is often making the initial contact, so I encourage you to call me on 0208 292 3081 now to discuss how I can best help you.

Katherine Enskat

katherine After working in social care, I discovered massage and complementary therapies in the late 1990's. A discovery which initiated my own healing journey and sparked an interest in holistic health.
I was looking for something which had a view of the body which included the emotional and psychological dimensions as well as the physical; or rather something which addresses a person as a being, comprising many different planes of existence, including that of body, mind, emotions and soul.
I trained in aromatherapy, qualifying in 1999 and followed this with a short training in focused deep bodywork in 2001; both at the Tisserand Institute and have been practicing as a full time massage therapist since that time. I have just completed a foundation in Deep Bodywork (a form of Body Psychotherapy) with Silke Ziehl at the Open Centre.

Mamta Nanda

mamtaMamta Nanda is a Reiki Master in Usui Shiki Ryoho, the traditional form of Reiki as it used to be taught by Mrs. Hawayo Takata. Mamta has been practising Reiki since 2001 and has trained with Tripuri Dunne. Over the years Mamta has had the privilege of spending time with and learning from several Reiki Masters, some of whom were initiated by Mrs Hawayo Takata. She has also been representing The Reiki Association on the Reiki Regulatory Working Group (RRWG).
Having seen how beneficial Reiki is for herself and her two children, Mamta was inspired to set up a Reiki clinic in South West London for Pregnant Women, Mothers and Babies. Having moved to North London, she now runs the clinic there.
Mamta is also a recognised Metamorphic Technique Practitioner. She offers Ear Candling treatments, works with Bach Flower Remedies and has a vibrant interest in nutritional healing.
Mamta offers treatments and Reiki Classes in North London. She is happy to go and teach Reiki where invited.

In her own words "I feel that Reiki is one of the best things that I have ever learnt. I am a mother with two children. Like a lot of other mothers, I used to feel quite low, tired, stressed. With Reiki I feel a whole lot better, calmer, more relaxed, with higher energy levels. I often wish that I had learnt Reiki before I had my children. My two pregnancies would have been much easier.
I know that I cannot turn the clock back for myself but I feel that I can help other women discover Reiki and how beneficial it can be. This thought inspires me to work more closely with pregnant women, mothers, children & babies.
Over the years I find that we are much healthier as a family. Either we don't fall ill as often as we used to or when we do succumb, we recover more quickly. We hardly ever need to go see our GP anymore."

Michelle Austen-Marriott BA(Hons), BSc(Hons), LicAc, MBAcC

michelleMichelle, a British Acupuncture Council member and a mother-of-two is very passionate in supporting couples trying to conceive.  She investigates every aspect of a woman’s health history and habits to determine which organs and meridians are out of balance, and then recommends a regimen of acupuncture, exercise, relaxation techniques and/or dietary changes to restore equilibrium to her body. When a woman’s body is restored to balance, the hormones needed for conception and pregnancy are produced the way nature intended.
Acupuncture offers a natural way to support your efforts to get pregnant. Acupuncture can improve your overall health and well-being, strengthen the organs and systems vital to reproduction, help to heal specific conditions that may affect your fertility (i.e. PCOS, Endometriosis) and even support Western-based reproductive technology such as IUI and IVF.
Traditional Chinese medicine describes the female reproductive system as a network of energy systems with complementary organs and hormonal responses. This network responds to stress, chemicals, lack of exercise, poor eating, and excess emotions, all of which can put the body off balance. Even a slight aberration can throw the entire system off so that it no longer functions smoothly. Yet, just as the body responds to negative influences, it also responds to gentle direction to return to balance.
One of the beauties of Eastern medicine is that there is no separation of mind, body, emotions and spirit, and acupuncture is based upon ministering to them all. Michelle believes this approach is more in alignment with the body’s own design. She also believes that because acupuncture focuses on restoring balance to the entire body, it can serve as a valuable adjunct to Western medical technology.
Michelle believes Acupuncture can provide you with a new source of health and hope in your quest to conceive and carry a healthy baby to term.

Samantha Flower, C.H.Ed (DipNuTh)


sam flower portrait Samantha became interested in Nutrition when, after many years of suffering, she cured herself of irritable bowel syndrome, chronic eczema and asthma. Amazed by her rapid improvement she decided to study dietary therapy. She was later diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome as a consequence of overwork and over-training. Samantha decided to embark upon an extreme dietary regime. Within the space of nine months she had made a complete recovery. This reinforced her faith in the power of dietary healing. It also ignited her specialist interest in degenerative conditions.

Samantha undertook her studies at The Kevala Centre, the prestigious holistic learning college in Torquay, graduating with distinctions in both Nutritional Therapy and Iridology.

She is also a qualified tutor. Samantha lectures at The Kevala Centre in Nutritional Therapy, Detoxification and Integrated Health Management. She is the author of a course entitled: Detoxification: A Maintenance Plan for Healthy Living which she was commissioned to write for the college.

The Group, of which she is a keen member, promotes the nutritional treatment of cancer and degenerative disease. She is also a member of the Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists International.

Stephanie Price


stephanie price  pictureI first discovered the amazing healing benefits of natural remedies and alternative healing 10 years ago, after a particularly stressful job in the music industry which left me quite unwell.   This was my first realisation that we are 3 part beings - mind, body and spirit, and so my healing journey began.  My first training was in Reiki in Sydney Australia, with the internationally acclaimed Reiki teachers and authors Frans and Bronwen Stein. 
On returning to the UK, I trained in Holistic Massage and Anatomy and Physiology in 2004 and then went on to study with the London School of Sports Massage and obtained a BTEC Professional Diploma in Sport and Remedial Massage Therapy.  I also gained qualifications in Indian Head Massage, Advanced Deep Tissue techniques, Pregnancy Massage and Reiki level 2 and 3. 
I regularly further my knowledge through workshops and courses and continue to add a variety of new techniques to my massage treatments. I have completed almost all of the Holistic Medical massage series with Jing Advanced Massage and Training in Brighton, including neck and shoulder conditions, shoulder girdle, hip and pelvis and Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.  
I regularly practice yoga and meditation and take an active interest in diet and supplements after completing a introductory Kinesiology course 2 years ago.  I try to take a holistic viewpoint when treating clients and believe that massage, combined with a healthy diet, regular exercise, rest and relaxation, and a positive mind can help restore the body's natural balance, therefore enhancing general wellbeing.
I tend to work very slowly and deeply with strokes that focus on releasing the fascia (connective tissue) as well as the soft tissues, my clients often comment on how grounded they feel after a treatment.
I have over 5 years experience of helping clients out of pain, to recover from operations or injury, or to just simply slow down and relax.
I look forward to meeting you.
