ABOUT US - HISTORY
Jane Robinson and Lesley Jenkins first set up a Clinic in Yeovil in 1979. It was initially based at Princes Street and then, in 1989, moved to The Avenue. The practice grew over the years and became well established. In fact, a number of practitioners have been part of the set up since that time.
In 2006, Jane & Lesley took the opportunity to move to the current premises at Hendford. This delightful Georgian building provided the ideal platform to continue to expand the service and offer a greater variety of therapies.
The studio at the back of the building provides space for a full programme of weekly classes as well as one and two day workshops at the week-ends. It is popular with clients and workshop providers - they all enjoy the bright, airy atmosphere which is so conducive to learning.
OUR ETHOS
We offer a professional, caring and individual service that aims to provide the very best in Complementary Medicine. All the practitioners at Nine Springs Natural Health Centre are fully qualified and many are highly experienced in their fields.
Complementary Therapies have several core principles:
- To treat the whole person - body, mind, emotions and spirit - rather than just some isolated part or symptoms.
- To gently aid a person's recovery from illness by addressing the underlying causes of disease and encouraging the body’s own natural healing abilities.
- To enhance health and well being thereby working preventatively - eg. boosting the immune system and correcting dysfunction.
Complementary Medicine includes long-established practices - Traditional Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Ayurveda, Shiatsu, Reflexology and Massage etc. as well as more recent additions including Osteopathy, Homoeopathy, Nutritional Therapy, Counselling and Hypnotherapy.These new therapies can safely work alongside conventional treatments and are felt to "complement" the recovery process.
