no two treatments are the same

Every therapy session I facilitate, with people or animals, is different as each depends on what the client presents with on the day.  If appropriate I may use some Bowen moves or scar tissue release but mostly, I observe through Osteodouce. 

Osteodouce is a technique devised by Jackie Roux, a French Osteopath, who realised he could obtain as good, if not better, results not touching his clients.  The more I practiced it, the more I realised what a perfect technique it is: there is no more uncertainty about where to work as the body wisely makes it very obvious where the blockages are and when they have been resolved.

Clients have put into words how this technique has helped them. 

"When I arrived, I must admit to really wondering what I’d let myself in for especially when you explained how you weren’t going to touch me. Then as I lay there in the sun, I was still wondering what you were doing…. Soothingly, you said you were looking at my pelvis.

Whatever you did my back felt much better today. Walking, after I left you, I felt lighter and calm. Sitting at my desk today my back wasn’t hurting as much.” AS

“I find it to be very relaxing and calming.  It’s non-invasive but I feel sensations such as mild pressure, tingling, heat and ripples in areas being worked on. I could feel areas being released.” RS

“I’ve been receiving treatments for a variety of skeletal and muscular problems.  I always leave the session feeling looser, energised and free of pain. Hilary has an uncanny ability to identify the root of the problem, and fix it. 

It’s an interactive process where you are involved in finding a path to healing.” AT

“Hilary helped me enormously after an operation trauma to do with uncomfortable scar tissue and anxiety, but she also helped me with a lingering lung infection and knee problem.

Her individual and intuitive approach are in synch with her ability to get to the bottom of the client’s trauma/accident/pain. 

She has a great deal of experience in a variety of methodologies that have come together in her own unique understanding of body and mind. 

Hilary is a sensitive facilitator who can listen, find what is needed and is able to make an enormous difference.” RS

“Whatever it is, Hilary’s work is profound, transformational and beautifully delicate.” LL

“After a session, my body feels put back together as it should be… both different and lighter, in a very good way.  The perennial problem I had with a painful knee has been massively helped, and you worked wonders on the injury to a bone in my foot." MAW

“I also know that I will always get a good night’s sleep following Hilary’s treatments.” CB

"Not sure how you do it, but it’s fantastic.” MAW

“Time and again I return to Hilary when something hurts and with her gentle and intuitive attention it gets better. I have no idea how it works, but it does! “ CH

Animals respond well to the techniqure, taking the energy to help them resolve tensions in their body.  I tend to work remotely , with the owners watching for reactions during the treatment.

A recent case study, as reported by the owner, helps to explain it.  

 I initially reached out to  Hilary to help with my 16 year old horse Charlie. Charlie had had a  nasty slip & fall in the field & after a week we had been able  to reduce the initial inflammation, but I was left with a horse that was  visibly out of alignment through his pelvis and sacroiliac and as a  result lame & struggling with movement down through his left hind  leg. 

Hilary  has a beautiful calm & compassionate manner & was able to book  in a distance treatment session for Charlie the next day. It was truly  incredible to watch Charlie whilst Hilary worked with him. Immediately  there was obvious improvement through his pelvis and his hind leg  returned to a more natural normal alignment. He was calmer & more  relaxed as he found his body returning to “normal”. 

As  it had been quite a serious injury, Hilary & I agreed to give him a  few days for everything to settle & then Hilary had a follow up  session with him. During this session Charlie opted to walk around the  field & it was clear to see that Hilary was able to help him  completely release & realign at an even deeper level. 

I’ve  owned & worked with horses for over 30 years and the transformation  in Charlie is nothing short of miraculous, to have gone from severely  lame to completely sound with no new medication is testament to Hilary’s  exceptional skill. Charlie has remained completely sound since his  session & in-fact looks better than he did before his fall. It is  not always easy to find people who you can trust to support & treat  our precious animals but with Hilary I know I have found an incredibly  valuable practitioner who is quite simply worth her weight in gold.  Charlie & I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done to  help him recover. 

Hilary  is quite simply incredible & I can’t recommend her highly enough. I  am so grateful to have found her & very much look forward to having  her valuable support for years to come.If you or your pets are in need of support please do  not hesitate to reach out to Hilary, you will not be disappointed.  FM

Hilary is a most gentle soul and my dog loved being in her presence. She ‘energetically scanned’ his body and I was able to confirm her findings. He clearly felt very comfortable with her and allowed her to work her ‘magic’ on his body. We both look forward to future sessions. I would highly recommend Hilary to anyone with an ailing pet. AL

Hilary did some distance work on my elderly spaniel, Gerty, who was suffering with dementia at the time. Whilst Hilary worked on her she slept peacefully by my side which was unusual for a start as she paced constantly, part of the condition. One of the main issues we had was the way Gerty would walk round and round in circles until it made her dizzy. It was quite distressing to witness but after Hilary had finished her distance work, Gerty got up from the sofa, went outside and walked to the bottom of the garden in a straight line! She was calm and relaxed for quite some time after. Hilary continued to do some distance work with her and whenever she did Gerty was calm and relaxed.  It helped hugely.” Em
