THERAPIES AT THE YOGA DEN
Caroline's experience as a chartered physiotherapist, experienced yoga teacher, breath therapist, reiki master/teacher and massage therapist means that she can draw on a wide range of approaches to offer truly holistic healing treatments to her clients. The Yoga Den has more wonderful holistic practitioners offering even more wellbeing therapies from the calm & cosy treatment space.
HOLISTIC PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy uses movement to heal.
Holistic physiotherapy is where we recognise that a human being is a whole lot more than a collection of muscles, bones and connective tissues. Current research in the scientific field of physiotherapy is moving more and more in this direction, and evidence for adopting a 'biopsychosocial' (holistic) approach, is overwhelming. Holistic physiotherapy looks at the person as whole, including emotional, mental and spiritual aspects that may affect the physical body as well as past experiences/trauma and current life circumstances. Caroline has 20 years experience as chartered physiotherapist in the NHS and in private practice, across a broad range of clinical areas.

-
New & long-standing pain conditions

MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage is a popular and hugely beneficial treatment to bring about relaxation, release of tension and overall wellbeing. Massage affects the muscles, connective tissue and the nervous system and can significantly reduce pain and promote a sense of ease in the body (and mind). Caroline brings massage therapy into many of her treatment approaches including Physiotherapy, Breath Therapy and Bespoke Therapy, and currently does not offer massage as a stand-alone service.
Massage + reiki is a beautifully holistic treatment and works so well together to achieve big shifts in all areas of your being.
90 min massage + reiki - £105
2h massage + reiki - £125
Fiona Unsworth provides massage therapy at The Yoga Den on Fridays. Fiona specialises in pregnancy and massage for chronic pain conditions and provides a wonderfully holistic approach to her treatments. You can find out more about Fiona and her services here
REIKI
Reiki harnesses the universal life force energy that is all around us (in yoga terms this is called Prana, in traditional Chinese medicine it is known as Chi). We don't really have word for this because here in the West, we have very much lost touch with these subtle, natural energies. In modern scientific terms, we can think of it as natural bio-magnetic energy.
In a reiki session, the practitioner channels the reiki energy, and makes it available to the client. Reiki is a deeply relaxing and healing energy that can help to support us on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Just some of the benefits include: relieves stress, helps with processing of trauma, reduces pain & inflammation, supports with anxiety & depression, aids tissue healing, clears 'blocks' for practical tasks, develops feelings of balance in the body, mind & spirit. Caroline has been trained and attuned to level 4 (Reiki Master or Teacher level).
Intention is an important element of a reiki session, and it is helpful if you come to the appointment with a clear idea of what you would like the reiki to help with. Caroline can help you with this if you are unsure.
60 min Reiki session - £80
45 min Reiki session -£65
90 min Massage + Reiki - £105
Caroline also runs Reiki Level 1 and 2 courses throughout the year. Information on these courses will be updated soon!
1-2-1 YOGA
Yoga can be used as a therapeutic approach to improve strength and flexibility, can the nervous system and clear the mind. It can reduce pain, improve sleep, aid digestion and so much more. And importantly it can help to give us a sense of control over our own health and wellbeing.

-
Getting you started on your yoga journey, and building confidence before transitioning to regular class
-

-
Helping you to progress in your practice to more challenging postures - safely and with hands-on adjustments.

BESPOKE THERAPY SESSION
Sometimes, what you need right now doesn't fit neatly into a box of just one approach or another. Caroline is able to draw on all her different strands of experience & expertise, whether it is a one-off session for what you need that day, or a longer term treatment plan to create profound and lasting change.
As well as the main therapeutic modalities of physiotherapy, yoga, reiki, breath therapy & massage, we can also incorporate meditation, and guided relaxation. Caroline is also keen to work with other like-minded health professionals, and occasionally refers clients on to others with different skills and approaches.
Costs for bespoke sessions are broadly as follows, but may vary slightly depending upon your specific combination of therapies.
Initial 90 min consultation - £125
60 min follow up - £95
75 min follow up - £105
90 min follow up - £115

BREATH ASSESSMENT AND THERAPY
The breath is probably the simplest, but also the most powerful tool we have at our disposal to transform our physical and mental health. Indeed, breath is life-force itself.
Many of us have developed unhelpful breathing habits throughout our lives, and this can have very real negative impact on our bodies and state of mind. Breath assessment can bring to light specific facets of the breath with may be inhibiting our natural good health, and by learning tailored and specific breathing practices we can have profound effects on our nervous system (which is really the key to everything).
Breath Assessment 60 min - £95
Follow Up 60 min - £85
Follow Up 45 min - £70
ACUPUNCTURE
Laura Robertson of Fusion Acupuncture is TCM trained acupunturist. She offers an integrated approach to restoring health and wellbeing. All treatments are rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine but also integrate elements of scientific research & studies. She regularly incorporate additional techniques into my treatments, these include auricular (ear) acupuncture, cupping therapy, moxa, gua sha, and electro-acupuncture when appropriate. This approach recognises the concept that no two people are the same, making your treatment truly unique.
