Susan Lacroix
Homeopath in Corsham

With three different therapies to offer, I hope that I can support you in working towards wellness. Anma shiatsu is a wonderful non diagnostic massage sequence of 75 minutes, which is designed to bring a feeling of relaxation and renewed energy. Suitable for all but pregnant women and those with active cancer, it is performed fully clothed and includes pressing , gentle stretching , rhythmic and percussive movements.
Counselling can be helpful in overcoming a current problem or in looking at long term conditions. I am an integrative counsellor using different theoretical approaches, but always person centred. I am a qualified practitioner in somatic experiencing, a way of working with trauma developed by Dr Peter Levine.
Homeopathy is a means of approaching physical complaints as the symptoms of a deeper malaise, working with both body and mind together. Remedies are made from many different substances and they usually work gently to address and correct imbalances.

I studied at Oxford University and then the London School of Economics where I gained a PhD. I have worked in RNIB ( visual handicap), substance abuse and organic farming.
I am a practitioner of a non combative martial art, shintaido, of which I teach a gentle form to enhance health and well being. I am a member of a research group to study how to present shintaido to older people or those with some physical limitations

Approach to Homeopathy & How I Work

I am interested in understanding you as a person, and together looking at which approach would best serve you in the present moment.
Counselling can be short term or longer term but we will review regularly to ensure that it is addressing the issues in the way you want. Listening together and creating a relationship, enables new and old things to be seen and acknowledged; and over time our perspectives and ability to move forward can change.
Anma shiatsu can be a one off, for example after a stressful period or as a tonic; or some people like to book a series of treatments to create a feeling of baseline well being. Based on traditional oriental medicine, anma practice was once a prerequisite for medical students. It is said to be the oldest known form of massage. Receiving anma is an enjoyable experience. As it is non diagnostic, it is not designed to address specific complaints though these may improve with the treatments.
