About Holistic Health &

Holistic-Centre.org Ltd

Formerly The Centre for Complementary Therapies


Our Mission

  • To raise global awareness of holistic & complementary therapies & medicine (previously called alternative medicine).

  • To raise local awareness of our Holistic health care Centre & the services we provide here in South Wirral Cheshire UK.

  • Quite simply to present a different way of looking at health. A holistic view, the common sense approach of treating the person, rather than a symptom, syndrome or condition.


About The Centre

Holistic-Centre.org Ltd is here as a resource to provide information on complementary &/or alternative health care & provide a wide range of therapies to the local community. The Holistic Centre itself is situated in the historic market town of Neston in South Wirral, lying on the Cheshire - Merseyside border.

We have neither 'jumped on the band wagon' of holistic health care, nor are we here to make a quick buck. The Centre is run by therapists for therapists & their clients.

All too often we see clients that say that they've been told to 'live with it' or 'what do you expect at your age?'. Most often, this simply isn't the case. With the right treatment, advice & perhaps some effort on their part many recover & even in the worst cases there's usually some improvement to be gained. On the other hand we do not make false promises and if medical intervention is necessary, then we will point you in the right direction.

If you have a problem & the conventional medical approach has done little to help, then maybe it's time to look at it a different way.

Holistic Health Services Available at the Centre

Acupuncture, Allergy Testing, Aromatherapy Massage, Asyra CEDS Health Screening, Bio-Detox, BodyTalk SystemTM, Counselling, Cranial Osteopathy, EFT, Healing, Herbal Medicine, Homeopathy, Hopi Ear Candling, Hypnotherapy, Indian Head Massage, Massage, Meditation, NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique), NLP, Osteopathy, Reflexology, Reiki, Shiatsu, TFT (Thought Field Therapy & Traditional Thai Massage

See the What's New Page

We also host talks & workshops on a variety of subjects of a similar nature & provide a venue for others to do the same.

The Centre is owned Andrew Woodhouse and is run by a dedicated team with a range of experience & qualifications. That said, they can only offer suggestions for the most appropriate therapy and the treatment choice is yours. Andrew is very insistent on ensuring that all therapists available at the Centre are are of the highest standard and practice ethically.

We offer the widest range of therapies in the North West UK and pride ourselves on making sure that you are happy with any treatment that you receive.

We have some exciting Workshops and Talks planned and you will find more details in this issue. We are always looking for people to run good courses and if you or anybody you know would be interested in hiring out the Centre for relevant courses then please contact us on 0151 336 6222.

Our extensive website is updated regularly. There are many articles on health related matters and on all the treatments available at the Centre for your information. You can email us via the Contact page if you have any questions or require any further information.

If you've been here before, then check the What's New Page, as there's lots of new features & items. Plus we now have an On-Site Search facility - see top of page.


 

Some Key Concepts

  1. Holism & the holistic approach to health. The idea that we are more than highly complex biological machines.

  2. Preventative medicine & health care. It seems logical that it is easier to prevent problems than to try an fix them once they have developed.

  3. Integrated & multidisciplinary approach to medicine & healthcare. We have a large team of complementary health care practitioners that are happy to 'cross refer' to others, either within the Centre or elsewhere, should the person's needs be best catered for elsewhere.

In Short

  • To work together with other health care professionals & the patient/client for their best possible care.

  • To encourage the patient/client to take on board, assume responsibility & actively participate in their own care.

Holistic therapies work to stimulate the person's own innate healing systems, that are perpetually working toward a state of health.

The human being is the most complex thing in the known universe, so it's not surprising that things go awry on occasions. The upside is that this also means that it is, at times and with the right support, capable of amazing abilities to cope, compensate & heal.

What's Holistic Health?

Holistic health care is about assessing and addressing the whole health of the person.

This can be approached from many different directions or therapeutic approaches, but at their core there are certain key principles.

  • The person is assessed on an very individual basis, rather than a person with a particular named condition. So it is centred around the person, rather than a condition, symptom or dis-ease. Illness occurs when the balance of health is disturbed for some reason.

  • All the generally accepted aspects of the person are considered; mind, body & spirit (or bio-energetic body if you prefer).

  • Much time is spent with the patient / client to gain an understanding of them and any problems they may have &/or as part of the treatment.

  • People are continually re-assessed at each visit to ensure that we are not barking up the wrong tree or treating unnecessarily.

  • Also, if we are not helping we will advise on other treatments that may help &/or refer you back to your doctor as appropriate. This can be done with a supporting letter if required.

  • Once the immediate problem has resolved, then an occasional 'maintenance' treatment may be advised. Staying healthy is easier than attaining health once lost, but this is entirely your decision.


More on The Centre

Situated in the village of Little Neston, within the area of Ellesmere Port and Neston, Holistic-Centre.Org Ltd offers a service that is caring, professional and unique.

On offer at the Centre is the widest variety of holistic therapies (otherwise known as complementary or alternative therapies) in the North West UK. The Centre offers the convenience of all the different types of therapies being under one roof, along with the peace of mind of knowing that all the therapists are experienced, fully qualified and insured.

One of the guiding principles of the holistic approach to health is to address the person as a whole (body, mind and spirit) within the context of their environment (family, work, recreational activities, such as sport, hobbies, etc.). 

The popularity of holistic therapies is growing rapidly as people seek to find the root cause of their problems, no longer satisfied with treatment that just relieves the symptoms. 

The holistic approach is about encouraging & supporting the body’s own healing mechanisms to cope with most insults and injuries that we encounter as part of modern life. 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of 'cure'!
