Our lovely centre was founded by two holistic General Practitioners in 1993. Dr Annette Hayes and Dr Shirley May began practicing here so their clients would have somewhere peaceful and relaxing to work on their health issues.
The centre has been through many changes over its history and we are proud to say that it remains a wonderfully relaxing and healing space.
Feel free to drop by for a cuppa to see what else we have to offer.
Along with our fantastic range of therapies, we have a full herbal, homeopathic and nutritional supplement dispensary.
We also sell a range of natural face, body and hair care products, natural baby products, cloth nappies, BPA-free baby bottles, Himalayan Salt Crystal Lamps, organic herbal teas, safe & natural cleaning products, handmade herbal balms and creams and more.
