Alternative therapies for body and mind
New practice established in the community centre
We have not had ready access to alternative therapy since a centre in Kingston Road closed some years ago. Now if you feel the need of a soothing massage you only have to make your way to the Community Centre. Jericho resident Joëlle Mann, together with three other practitioners, has established the Jericho Complementary Health Practice on the top floor. They also work in other parts of the city but will share the Jericho space seven days a week to offer a wide range of therapies.
Joëlle, who trained at the London College of Massage, and in Mexico, offers ‘manual lymph drainage massage’, which eliminates toxins, and helps with weight loss. It is also used in post-breast cancer treatment. Joelle also offers ‘resonance repatterning’ – a dialogue-based process using kinesiology to help identify and transform unconscious patterns.
Rachel Corlett, who trained at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, offers ‘tui na’, a form of Chinese therapeutic massage, which is based on the same theory as acupuncture, but uses hands instead of needles and is used for many conditions, including musculo-skeletal issues.
Humphrey Bacchus, who trained in Boulder Colorado, offers ‘integrative body work’, which treats physical ailments while exploring posture in relation to feelings.
Vicky Wright offers ‘structural integration’ (rolfing) using soft tissue manipulation to release constrictions and help create a natural alignment of the body’s structure in gravity.
