About me
Registered Osteopath in Crowborough and South Chailey
I provide osteopathic healthcare for the whole family, from babies to their grandparents and everyone in between at any stage of life.
I graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 1991 and have worked in East Sussex for the last 30 years .
Since qualifying I have regularly attended courses and conferences working with other experienced osteopaths from the UK and abroad. I have tutored students in the Children’s Clinic at European School of Osteopathy in Maidstone and was a volunteer osteopath at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London. I have also attended many Traditional Osteopathy (biodynamic) courses and I predominantly treat using very gentle cranio-sacral techniques .
A highlight is seeing the wide variety of patients and conditions and making a positive difference to their quality of life.
I particularly enjoy the challenge of treating treating chronic conditions that haven’t responded to other forms of treatment.
“I have been seeing Helen for approximately 25 years now, as has my wife, 3 children, my mother, my in-laws and now my two grandchildren. The ailments we have confronted Helen with vary from childhood colic to body realignment following the impact of being hit by a vehicle, all of which achieved a successful outcome. Helen’s approach is very gentle compared to the ‘’crunching ‘’osteopathy commonly practised. In fact her sessions are very relaxing to the extent, you wonder if she has done anything! However hip realignment, rotator cuff injury, disc bulge, colic and much more have been treated and cured by Helen, as evidence that her methodology works. In addition Helen has an engaging personality so it is always a pleasant experience going for a treatment. I cannot recommend her enough” DJ
"I had never had treatment from a complementary therapist and was unsure about it, being only used to doctors, scans, injections and tablets etc. So on my first visit to Helen, recommended by a friend, my mindset was ‘’this can’t possibly work, it’s too gentle but I have nothing to lose’’. But it did work and the lower back pain that had been niggling me for ages just seemed to disappear a few days after the visit. I have subsequently had treatment for different problems, and always had a positive outcome. I can't recommend Helen and her calm professionalism enough.” AT
Suffering from constant pain in both knees, a colleague highly recommended I made an appointment with Helen.
The first session was not what I was expecting, as I’d been to an osteopath and physiotherapist before but Helen’s approach was more holistic (please keep an open mind) and seemed to focus more on energy than cracking bones or stretching limbs. In the following few days, the constant pain I’d been suffering went from a 6-7 down to a 3 or 4. Helen said it was predominantly related to my lower back, which nobody I had seen previously had said. I saw Helen a further three times over the next 2 months and am so happy that my pain is now pretty much non-existent. I can now play golf without having to take ibuprofen before or having to ice my knees after!
I now make a point of seeing her every 6-8 weeks just to keep my body at peace with itself. Helen is magic! SB
"At 62 years old, my skeleton has suffered as a result of being involved in sports all my life. From age 50 onwards my back has been a pain. I have had two operations on my spine and spent 4 years on morphine and pregabalin. At the beginning of 2020 my lower back had a major episode and I was getting nowhere with conventional medicine so turned to Helen for help. What followed changed my life. Helen initially suggested what drugs to take to make me much more comfortable and to make her treatment easier. What then followed was incredible - after the first treatment I walked out unaided! After 3-4 treatments not only had the pain gone but so had the constant ache that I had had for years. I cannot tell what relief and gratitude I felt. Helen’s dedication, skill and compassion have changed my life and that of my family too. She is one of the kindest people I have met and a very skilled osteopath who I would recommend to anyone in the blink of an eye, and have done so. Thank you for fixing me, maintaining me and being a friend". MC
