My mission is to make you feel relaxed and cared for.

I am an award-winning massage therapist specialising in deep tissue massage, natural facelift massage, lymphatic drainage, myofascial release and detoxing body wraps.

These are my most popular treatments:

Natural facelift massage:

A non-invasive treatment to rejuvenate and relax while improving the complexion. “I was astonished from the very first session. Right away I could see the results.”

Deep tissue massage:

Using a mix of techniques drawing from deep and soft tissue release, pressure points, myofascial release and stretching, this massage is highly effective for stress, tension, headaches and localised muscle pain. “A best found remedy for stress-relief that is more effective even than holiday”

Sculpting/slimming massage:

When applied to the abdominal area, slimming massage can help improve digestion and reduce bloating giving the impression of a flatter, more defined stomach. It can help break down the localised fatty deposits and best results are achieved combining massage with healthy eating and exercise.

Manual lymphatic drainage:

This technique is very effective for sinus congestion, water retention, oedema and to boost the immune system.   ‘It was so nice to just relax and enjoy the hour’s massage and I am feeling so much better today’.

I decided to train as a massage therapist because I understand the pressures of modern living after having a corporate career in the private and public sector;  my role is to help people to achieve a better work/life balance and raise awareness of wellbeing and self-care.

Over the years I have seen clients with a number of conditions, mostly back and shoulder pain and tension, digestive complaints (candida, bloating) and water retention.

My passion is to make clients feel and look amazing through a unique blend of massage techniques. I am also passionate about communicating, engaging and information sharing so I regularly write articles and post video tutorials about health, lifestyle and beauty.

Having worked in Harley Street and in high profile clinics, I have come across a wide spectrum of conditions and have worked with other practitioners to provide an integrated approach to wellbeing.

Ronete Cohen MA, Psychologist and Psychotherapist

I treat adults, adolescents, children and families. I do more than just address symptoms: I go to the heart of your problems so that you can change your life for the better. I am trained in two Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT) approaches – Intensive Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (IE-DP) and Affect Phobia Therapy (APT). I am the only APT therapist in the UK.

In my work with adults, I use IE-DP and APT to address a wide range of issues, including but not only: abuse, anxiety, assertiveness, burnout, childhood issues, childhood trauma, depression, dysfunctional families, relationships, self-confidence, self-esteem, sexuality, stress, and trauma. I help you deal with your fears and anxieties, and enable you to relinquish the defences that stand in the way of your buried emotions. I help you find self-compassion and start the healing process.

In my work with children, I use my wide range of specialisations (including in educational issues), which enable me to deal in a coordinated way with whatever it is that is troubling your child. I specialise in adapting and developing IE-DP and APT for use with adolescents and children. With children, problems will often manifest themselves in other (often unrelated) areas, so it’s likely that whatever you approach me about will turn out to be only part of what’s really going on. An all-encompassing approach has a higher chance of success. Also, since parents, family and school form an integral part of a child’s world, it’s important for treatment to include them too, whenever necessary.

I am an expert and experienced lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender affirmative therapist. I have extensive experience of working with diverse cultures, nationalities, beliefs, sexualities and alternative lifestyles. In addition to English (my mother tongue), I speak Hebrew and Dutch.

I am an advice columnist and my expert opinion is quoted in articles, both in print and online. I also give talks and workshops. I have written a chapter, ‘Using Intensive Experiential-Dynamic Psychotherapy to Treat an Underachieving Gifted Adolescent’, for a book on psychotherapy, ‘The Theory and Practice of Experiential Dynamic Therapy’, edited by Ferruccio Osimo and Mark Stein (published by Karnac in July 2012). In it, I illustrate how EDT can be adapted for use with adolescents in general, and, specifically, underachieving gifted adolescents.

Dominique Antiglio

Msc in Sophrology/Bsc(Hons)

Sophrology Therapist and Coach

My aim through BeSophro is to help clients transform challenging situations into opportunities for positive change.

Perhaps you are suffering from work-related stress or the anxieties that accompany the constant need to balance a range of demands in your life. Perhaps you are trying to cope with change and have reached a stage where you feel you need help.  Or perhaps you might be suffering from a range of emotional or physical symptoms (some listed below) without really understanding why.

I use the Sophrology method, a mind-body approach through which I can support, teach and guide you to overcome difficulties in your life so that you can feel calmer, more in tune with yourself and empowered.

Sophrology efficiently combines the essences of Eastern and Western therapeutic wisdoms (such as yoga, meditation, relaxation methods or psychology) in a simple and practical way to help you reach a feeling of greater well-being.

When we are facing difficulties in life, whether they create excess stress, affect us physically, emotionally or leave us with feelings of unease, Sophrology offers accessible and practical therapeutic tools.

Sophrology uses a combination of relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, guided meditation, gentle movements and calm use of the voice. It has numerous benefits in terms of relaxation and recuperation, and is also designed to overcome specific issues. The exercises you learn can then also be easily practised at home or at work so that you have day-to-day support.

As each session is bespoke, I will help you define your needs and work with you to tailor the method to suit you and your situation. A safe space is provided for you to express yourself and to work at your own pace.

We work to help you, through a natural and dynamic process, develop a new state of balance, and to access new ways of dealing with your present, future or past in your daily life.

The following are some examples of symptoms or issues Sophrology can help with:

• Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious
• Sleeping difficulties
• Difficulty coping with emotions
• Lack of motivation
• Depression, burnout
• Low confidence or self-esteem
• Back or digestive problems
• Pain
• ME, chronic fatigue syndrome
• Serious illness, chronic illnesses, and heavy medical treatment, and recovery
  •  Eating disorders, weight issues

Perhaps you are interested in self-development  (to balance energy levels, manage work/life balance more effectively, and/or cope well with change), or you need help in preparing for a specific event (giving birth, exams, surgery). Sophrology doesn’t replace medical treatment but it is used as a precious complementary method in such situations.

I have extensive experience in Sophrology and therapy. I discovered Sophrology at a very young age, and it has since changed the way I live my life and continues to give me precious tools for my own developmental path and has inspired me to use it professionally to help others.

My professional training in Sophrology notably includes:

A Diploma in Caycedian Sophrology (2004) at the Académie Suisse de Sophrologie (Swiss Sophrology Academy) and a Master in Caycedian Sophrology (2006) with Professor Caycedo himself, the founder of the method.

I initially trained as an Osteopath in the UK completing a BSc(Hons)Ost in 2001. I then started my own Osteopathy and Sophrology practice in Switzerland where for more than ten years I specialized in the treatment of children and pregnant women. I regularly lead Sophrology workshops at the Académie Suisse de Sophrologie (Swiss Sophrology Academy).

During my osteopathic career, having experienced many times the immediate benefits that Sophrology had on my clients’ bodies and vitality, I realized that most of their physical pains were rooted in their struggle to cope with a particular life situation. Therefore it felt a very natural step to begin working exclusively as a Sophrologist.

I am also a founding member of The Sophrology Network and The London Sophrology Institute.

Trusted and used extensively in other parts of Europe (especially in Switzerland, France and Spain), Sophrology is relatively new to the UK . I am delighted to contribute to its development here and to offer it at Kingyo Therapy Suites.

I offer individual Sophrology sessions in English and French.

I also guide regular Sophrology group sessions on specific themes where individuals can experience the method in a supportive and like-minded environment. (click here for more information : http://www.be-sophro.co.uk/content/12497/book_now/book_now)

For more information or bookings, please call me on 07527587177 or e-mail me on info@be-sophro.co.uk.

I look forward to meeting you,

Spring News Letter

For a little bit of Spring advice on how to alleviate lower back discomfort, our Osteopath Amberin Fur, provides a few tips:

AMBERIN FUR
Osteopath BSc Hons Ost DO
Spinal & Sports Specialist
Cranial & Paediatric Specialist

With the start of a new season there is growth…

As the spring emerges, so does the active digging and weeding season. Garden lovers and many others suffer with back pain daily. Here are some tips to help alleviate your symptoms if you do experience discomfort in the lower back.  Better yet, these helpful tips to may ensure that you don’t overdo it this season!

* Have short breaks and stretch your back by rolling forward to touch your toes and arching your back in a gentle and pain free range
* Aim to keep your belly button pulled in towards your spine, this contracts the abdomen and protects the lower back, but make sure you keep breathing, it becomes easier with practice
* Stretch the hip flexor, by standing on one leg, and hold the ankle of the lifted leg with the opposite hand close to your buttocks, push the hips forward and you will feel a stretch in the front of the thigh, then repeat on the other leg. If this seem too complicated just lunge forward and slowly lower your back knee down towards the floor (it is not necessary to lower it completely)
* Whilst sleeping on your back, rest with a pillow under your knees, to loosen any tension coming from the thighs, taking the pressure off your lower back

This season also brings growth to Kingyo by the introduction of a new osteopathic team to support us through the changes our bodies face.  To discuss any issues or book an appointment, please call reception. We will be able to take appointments on Monday mornings with Amberin and Wednesday afternoons with Stephania.
