Get Well – Stay Well – Be Well
Find freedom from suffering, anxiety, pain and illness and reclaim control of your health with Body Listening.
I support people to find health and happiness by reconnecting back to their body. In a world so governed by our minds, we have lost this vital connection, and it is making us ill, mentally and physically. Body Listening is a transformative healing therapy using the Mind-Body connection to take you back to a state of balance and wellbeing. Clients come to me suffering with anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, fibromyalgia, arthritis, cancer, MS, chronic back pain, PTSD, grief, trauma, insomnia, migraines, hormonal imbalance, IBS, addictions, diabetes and more. Many have been told their condition is permanent and they have to learn to live with it.
But there IS another way.
Your suffering does NOT need to be lifelong.
You can take back control of your health. You can learn to listen to your body and give it what it needs.
You can get well, stay well and be well – for good.

This was not someone beating my muscles into submission but a whole body approach and one that has genuinely helped me. I even slept for over three hours for both of the nights following the treatment. Which is verging on miraculous. I can't thank you enough!

How Body Listening works
Our bodies have an innate wisdom. They know exactly how to get us back into balance and wellness. But we’re not listening.
Over our lifetime, repressed emotions, limiting beliefs and mental and physical traumas have become imprinted in our body and stored deep within the tissues, muscles, organs and cells. Without release, they have become stuck and have manifested as mental and physical illness. This is the science of Mind-Body medicine.
Pain and other symptoms are signals from the body, telling us that something is wrong. They are not something to ignore or fix. They are something to listen to. They are pointing us deeper and showing us what needs to be released. When we listen, they are powerful and astute teachers. In Body Listening, we tune into these signals. We give them our attention. They lead us to the stuck emotions and blocks that are underlying our health issues. As we allow all the stagnant energy to move and release, our bodies can begin to heal.
This is the key to getting and staying well. This is the foundation of my practice.
Using a range of tools including Body Psychotherapy, Deep Release Massage, Reiki Energy Healing and Mindfulness, I’ll help you to connect back to your body and heal yourself on every level. You’ll become your own doctor.
It’s time to take back control of your health.
“The mind and body are not separate and we cannot treat one without treating the other.” (Dr. Candance Pert, a main pioneer of Mind-Body Medicine)

How will I benefit from private treatments?
All private treatments are bespoke and tailored to your needs. The ultimate goal is always to give you back control of your life, free from pain and suffering. This work is long lasting and has a profound impact. After just a few sessions, it is my intention that you will never need to return again. You will be free, and your life will be significantly brighter. You will leave with a completely new mindset to pain and illness – and with techniques that can keep you well for the rest of your life.
What happens in a session?
The goal of every session is for your body to get what it needs on that day, in order to heal. Your body is in charge.
A session will always begin by taking time to tune into your body and listen to what is currently happening. You can have a full Body Listening session or if you prefer choose a pure Reiki treatment or a pure Reflexology Massage.
A Body Listening session can include a combination of Deep Relaxation, Reiki Healing, Reflexology Massage, Body Dialoguing, Guided Meditation and Energy/Emotional Release Massage. These techniques are used to discover where the stuck energies and emotions are being held, and then to help them move and release. Nothing is forced. We are simply removing the obstacles that are getting in the way of your healing. Once these release, your body will begin to heal.
It is important when working with deeply held emotions and old trauma that you feel safe and held. This is why I offer a free Skype or phone consultation for all new clients to get a chance to talk to me, and ask any questions that may arise.
Sessions and prices
We start with a FREE 20 minute consultation by phone or Skype.
After the consultation, you can book your initial session with me at the clinic. This lasts for 1.5 hours and is £90.
UPDATE: During the Coronavirus Outbreak, sessions are all online at £50/ hour. Call 07885020472 to book.
It often happens that people notice a real change after just one session and for some people this is enough. However for more profound and long-lasting change, you may benefit more from a course of sessions. After your initial session, I will be able to recommend a course that will best suit you. You are free to take a break at any time if you wish.
A course of sessions include:
- 1:1 private treatments with me at the clinic, PLUS

- Recommended daily practices
- Recommended lifestyle changes
Example prices are:
- 3 sessions – £240

Success Stories
Ray is a 59 year old male. He came to me having been through some recent upheavals in his life including a location move and the ending of a long term relationship. He was suffering from chronic eczema.
He had heard about my work through a mutual friend and needed someone who could help on both the emotional and physical levels.
In our first session, Ray connected with deeply held emotions and beliefs that felt like they were constraining him. The work we did together, helped him to acknowledge things he had never fully faced. By the end of the session Ray was able to accept these feelings and thoughts without the need to struggle or push against them. As a result an enormous sensation of relief came to him, and the tensions he had held in his body started easing off completely. Ray reported that it was quite remarkable to experience a shift like this in just one session.
We then had two further sessions in which Ray continued to make discoveries about himself. He became aware of how much his limiting thoughts and feelings were suppressing his energy and how they were even making him ill.
Through our work together, Ray learnt how to listen and tune in to the messages that are coming from his body. He was able to let go of his compulsion to think that he always needs to work out how to navigate the challenges in his life, or figure out what’s coming next. After our sessions he commented that he now feels entirely comfortable resting in the unknown and uncertain future that awaits him.
Since we started working together, Ray has reported a dramatic reduction in his eczema. In addition, he has also experienced a noticeable reduction in his levels of anxiety, a stillness and inner peace and a resurgence in his creative energy.

Bob is an 80 year old male. He came to me with a very severe tremor in his left arm. He was unable to lift a cup of tea or glass of water to his mouth without it spilling everywhere. He had been through serious heart surgery and these tremors had been present both before and after the surgery. The doctors had diagnosed it as an ‘essential tremor’ and had told him that unfortunately nothing could be done.
We worked together, tuning in to his body, and he became aware that he was carrying very high levels of anxiety. After only 15 minutes of working with Bob, the tremor improved by 95%. It was clear to see that the tremor had nearly completely gone. Bob reported that his arm and hand felt completely relaxed and that his whole body and mind felt at peace. His anxiety had dramatically reduced. He described it as ‘unbelievable.’
After returning home, Bob wrote and thanked me to let me know that once he was home, his arm began to throb and then he had a big release of pain. He is now able to use his left arm and hand with much more confidence. In Bob’s words, ‘Doctors had told me nothing could be done. Well, now I know better!’

About Anita
I believe wholeheartedly in the strength of the human spirit and the innate wisdom of the body
I have completely healed myself from chronic back pain and anxiety and continue to practice self healing every day. My journey has been challenging at times and has taken plenty of courage – and I am deeply grateful for it. For it is through my own personal journey, that I am now able to offer what I do.
Throughout my childhood, I healed my mother’s aches and pains by placing my hands on her. It was a very natural thing for me to do. I didn’t know at the time that it was anything out of the ordinary. My body – as all bodies – has a story to tell. I was born into a family of Holocaust survivors. As a child, I made an unconscious decision not to add to their suffering and consequently spent my life pushing all of my difficult feelings down into my body.
They got stuck in my lower back and I suffered until my 40’s with debilitating back pain as well as chronic anxiety. I wasn’t aware of it at the time, but these conditions became a strong part of my identity and limited my life significantly. I had resigned myself to living my life this way. And then one day at a personal development workshop, I was hit by a clarity that I didn’t want to live like this anymore. I realised that I had become completely disconnected from my body and my intuition. I left my 24 year long teaching career and stepped into the unknown.
I attained qualifications in Reiki I, II, III, Reiki Master Teacher, Raynor Naturopathic Massage, Body Listening (Body Psychotherapy) and an Advanced Diploma in Creative Therapy. Over the past 15 years I have additionally studied a range of other bodywork and therapeutic modalities including Metamorphic Technique, Theta Healing, Reflexology, Shamanic and Tantric Healing, Neuroscience, 5 Rhythms movement medicine, Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness. I closely follow the work of leading scientists and doctors of Healing and Mind Body Medicine, including Bessel Van der Kolk, Gabor Mate, M.D, Dr.Lissa Rankin, Larry Dossey M.D, Deepak Chopra M.D and Louise Hay, amongst others.
For me, the discovery of the Mind-Body connection and how our emotions are linked to pain and illness, has completely changed my life. It’s given me back my freedom and I’m now dedicated to doing the same for others.

How To Make Self Doubt Work In Our Favour.
Doubt can feel like the enemy. It can paralyse us, stop us in our tracks, keep us small and curled up in our little box. But we can choose to see doubt differently. We can choose to befriend it, and to use its wisdom. We can use our doubt in a way that serves us instead of letting it paralyse us.
What The ****! is Going On? – trying to make sense of challenging times.
I have seen this in one form or another on lots of social media posts recently. Of course, this question is completely natural. These are unfamiliar and unprecedented times. So, our minds are trying to make sense of it all. That’s what our minds do. They try to rationalise, look for reason, look for structure, look for sense. And when our minds can’t find these things, we can fall deeply into a place of fear. Into a struggle with what is happening. We are at war.
Befriending your body – a guide to staying well
What do you do when you have pain or get a cold? Most of us try to get rid of it. Why would anyone want to put up with it? We want to solve it. Fix it. We need it to go away so we can get on with the important things. So we can get on with our lives. ‘I don’t have...
