Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is a holistic therapy which originated from Japan. It is used for balancing, healing and harmonising the body, mind, emotions and spirit of the individual. It is a gentle, safe, non-intrusive healing technique which does not use pressure, manipulation or massage.

Reiki is complementary and works effectively alongside orthodox healthcare and natural remedies. It encourages and supports positive changes in an individual’s life and helps promote greater harmony and balance.

A Reiki treatment is non-diagnostic and non-manipulative. The individual remains fully clothed and the treatment is carried out with the individual sitting in a chair or lying down.

Stress Management Training teaches the individual to deal with stress in a positive way. Excessive stress can come from an individual’s personal or professional life. Realising that you may need help with coping with stress is your first step towards positive change and leading a more harmonious life.

Sharon has practiced Reiki since 2006 and has now reached Master/Teacher level. She has experience in Stress Management Training in both the public and private sectors; and with professional qualifications in health and safety she has valuable knowledge and experience that can greatly help when dealing with work related stress.

Spring News Letter

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.

Laurent Cadet de Fontenay
Psychotherapist & CBT Therapist

How Can I Help You?

As a Counselling Psychologist specialising in cognitive behaviour therapy, I can help you overcome depression, phobias and a range of anxiety disorders, enabling you to live life to the full. Being a trained in a number of other modalities, I will also use a range of other theoretical approaches during our work together to assist you in attaining your therapeutic goals and to maintain the gains as effectively as possible. Having a disability myself, I also have a strong interest in assisting clients to adapt to life with a disability (physical or mental) in order to live rich, fulfilling lives.

What is Therapy Like?

Working with me means having someone who will compassionately collaborate with you to reach your therapeutic goals and live the life you really want.

Our first session will be a comprehensive clinical assessment, lasting up to 90 minutes. This will give you time to talk about the issues that have brought you to therapy, while enabling me to ask questions to formulate a clearer sense of your situation, including the background and history of the problem. We will then be able to decide whether ongoing therapy would be beneficial to you, as well as the style of therapy to follow. When necessary, I will also refer you to another therapist for any additional help you may need.

Should further sessions be beneficial, ongoing therapy will be an opportunity for us to explore the patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours which may be leading to your problems. With this greater understanding of self, we can begin to focus on resolving your particular problems and developing skills to help you manage life more positively.

How Will We Work Together?

When following a cognitive behavioural approach, sessions will be centred on giving you the skills to change thoughts, behaviours and beliefs that are giving rise to your difficulties; you will learn skills to become your own therapist, enabling you to maintain the gains throughout your life. You may start noticing changes in your symptoms after a few sessions, as you actively apply the material we cover to your own life between sessions. While some symptoms shift quickly as you apply what you learn, the underlying beliefs that give rise to the problematic thoughts in the first instance take longer to shift and I would ideally foresee working with you for between 12 to 20 sessions, depending on the nature of the concern you wish to address.

Depending on the nature of your concern, a more self-guided type of therapy may be needed. In these instances, I will support you through a personal growth process, guiding you to talk through the important issues in your life, thereby helping you to gain greater personal strength, clarity and self-insight.

About Me

I am a fully qualified Counselling Psychologist, registered with the UK Health Professions Council. I have over eight years experience of work in a wide range of psychotherapeutic settings, both in the UK and internationally. While I take a holistic approach to therapy, integrating a range of modalities, I have developed a particular interest in the use of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to treat depression, anxiety and a range of phobias. Having a disability myself, I am also keen to assist clients with disabilities to develop the mindset to lead the life they really want.

Fees

The initial consultation costs £95.00 and lasts for up to 90 minutes.

The fee for ongoing sessions, lasting 50 minutes each, is £80.00 per session.

“Traditional Chinese Acupuncture can prevent cold and flu
by building up the immune system”.(Claudia Koch)

I am an Acupuncturist and Naturopath at Kingyo Therapy Suites and would like to introduce you to the benefits of Acupuncture combined with the right supplements to stay healthy during the cold and flu season.Traditional Chinese Acupuncture can prevent cold and flu by building up the immune system with just a few needles inserted into key points along the body’s energy meridians. These points are especially valuable for strengthening the circulation of qi and blood and also tonify the inner organ system to correct minor imbalances before they turn into a serious health issue.Acupuncture may help relieve symptoms of cold and flu by reducing pain through the stimulation of nerves located in muscles and other tissues, which leads to release of endorphins. It also promotes natural killer cell activities.
Research has shown that certain blood counts and immune enhancing chemicals stay elevated for at least 3 days following an acupuncture treatment.Acupuncture does not interfere with western medicine but provides a complement to it in most cases and emphasizes in treating the whole person while shortening the recovery of the illness.
Prevention is the key to well-being so book your appointment today.

My winter well-being tips:
Goldenseal, Echinacea and Astragalus combination: Boosts the immune system and fights microbes
Elderberry: Boosts immunity by increasing the body’s production of cytokines (proteins involved in regulating the immune systems response to disease and infection)
Vitamin C: helps the body fight infection
Ginger: Natures’ antiviral herb, great for preventing and healing colds, sore throat and inflamed mucus membranes
Zinc lozenges: Stimulate the immune function to fight the virus
Get plenty of rest, wrap up warm , stay hydrated by drinking lots of water, fresh juices, soups and herbal teas and avoid mucus forming foods such as dairy products, sweets, fried and fatty foods.
January special offer: 1 hour session for £50

“My tip for parents: look for sharing creative activities with your child; Children love to create and to express themselves through art” (Michal Edree)

Winter is a challenging season for everybody but especially for us the parents. While we could spend the summer playing out with the kids till late, the winter comes and it is getting cold and dark early when most of the children activities are indoors. Kids Entertainment at home can be a pleasant and enjoyable but can also be tiring and stressful.Children love to create and to express themselves through art; it can help them to explain themselves, to calm down, relax and to enjoy their own creativity.As part of my professional training, I specialized in working with parents and children to combine art making such as painting or working with different materials.Art encourages creative expression, imagination, joyfulness,   communication, connection and a good time together; allowing parents and children pleasant and enriching experience and still holds and allows dialogue and contact.In my clinic I am working with parents to understand their children behaviour and responses in order to better communicate and to feel confident as a parent, finding the best way to enjoy and spend quality time with each other.

I recommend to use outside resources – Pick different stoned from outside try to find the ones with flat surface but any stone your child pick outside is good. Wash it at home and then let your child gives it a character or feeling. It can be feelings like happy, angry, afraid, excited, etc… Than paint it with your child – give a special colour to each feeling or you can do a special face or a sign on each stone. When finished, you can use it to help your child to explain how he /she feel, to express their feelings using   the stones or you can use it a game that contain different feelings.

Winter Offer: Get £20 off the first appointment during December 2011 and January 2012. To book your appointment, call Kingyo at 02077061997 or email info@kingyotherapy.com.

Claudia Koch Lic. Ac. MAcS CA Dip ND
Acupuncturist and Naturopath

Claudia’s journey into healing started during a fasting retreat in 2000. She began studying Naturopathy and Acupuncture at “The College of Naturopathic Medicine” in London under the respected and talented Henry McGrath, author of “Traditional Chinese Medicine: Approaches to Cancer, Harmony in the face of the Tiger”.

She followed with a specialised course in Cosmetic Acupuncture and Spinal Acupuncture from the College of Chinese Medicine.

Additional training was also carried out at the Department of Acupuncture at the Dongzhimen Hospital in Beijing, an affiliate of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in China.

Claudia is a member of the British based Acupuncture Society, a professional body of acupuncture practitioners, whose members are bound by a strict code of Ethics, Rules and Regulations and a Code of Professional Conduct. They are obliged to comply with local health authority safety, hygiene and sterilization requirements, carry full indemnity insurance and attend regular CPD courses to broaden their knowledge.

“The body never lies…”

In our stressful society today, we all thrive to achieve a healthy balance- an emotional balance, a work-life balance, a balanced diet.

Acupuncture helps to restore the balance of your mind, body and spirit, thus allowing for the normal flow of qi throughout the body. One of the Traditional Chinese Medicine concepts is qi (pronounced “chi”) which is considered a vital force or energy. Qi flows through the body via channels called meridians. Imbalances in the flow of qi cause illness; correction of this flow restores the body back to balance and optimum health.

Research suggests that Acupuncture increases the amount of endorphins, which are natural pain killers (produced by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus) and increase a feeling of well-being.
Higher levels of endorphins were also found in cerebrospinal fluid after patients received acupuncture.

Visit Claudia at the Acupuncture Lounge at Kingyo Therapy Suites, 37 Spring street, London W2 1JA to get your body in balance and encourage natural healing.

Testimonials

I found visiting Claudia at the Acupuncture Lounge amazing. My thigh injury healed in a few visits and her ability to put me at ease took away the initial needle worry. If you want 1st class treatment and great results, visit the Acupuncture Lounge.

- John Regis MBE, Ex-Olympic Athlete

I’ve been suffering with Colitis for the past 7 years. In addition to the symptoms associated with Colitis, my stomach was always bloated. I had insatiable sugar cravings, stomach cramps and a general feeling of always being too hot. Working in a high pressured job did not help. I had a series of acupuncture sessions with Claudia, (including cupping sessions to help relieve a knotted back), and the result was amazing! After going back for a series of tests, the 30cm affected by the Colitis reduced to 7cm, I no longer felt so ‘hot’ all the time, the cramping had reduced considerably and the insatiable sugar cravings were a little more under control.

- N.Y., Global Project Manager

I was lucky enough to have acupuncture yesterday with Claudia Koch at the beautiful surroundings of the Kingyo Therapy Suites. I was most impressed by Ms Koch’s thorough consultation and painless administration of the needles. I left the session with a wonderful feeling of inner calm and tranquillity which left me well equipped to deal with the stresses of modern living. Not only that, but the pain in my arm and shoulder has eased. Fabulous! Will definitely be back soon.

- C.P., Flight Attendant

Kyla Williams MSc, BSc, DipION
Nutritionist
www.kylawilliamsnutrition.com

An educational background in science and an MSc in Nutritional Medicine have allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the complexities of nutrition, including the biochemical processes involved with food, nutrients, lifestyle, drugs and body interactions. In my practice, I take a scientific approach at all times, and I concentrate on nutrition to nourish your body, rather than restrictive diets.

Nutrition can help in many ways, whether you are looking to lose weight, eliminate digestive problems, improve your skin complexion, increase your fitness, or simply ensure that your diet is balanced and healthy. If you give your body all that it needs, you can avoid illness, increase your energy, improve your mood, and feel good.

To personalise your nutritional plan, prior to your consultation, a questionnaire will be sent to you to fill out and return, including a 3-day diet and lifestyle diary. Your individual needs will be researched using this information, and nutritional advice will be offered to help you optimise your health while minimising unwanted symptoms.

During a consultation, I will go through your questionnaire, explain possible reasons for health problems you may have, discuss realistic health goals, and give detailed diet and lifestyle advice, cooking tips, and optional supplement and test recommendations. All information discussed during the consultation will be provided to you in a health improvement pack. Diet advice is always practical, realistic and tailored to fit in with your lifestyle.

If you are unsure whether nutrition can help you, please do not hesitate to contact me on info@kylawilliamsnutrition.com and I will be happy to answer any of your questions.
