Kim Harris
A practitioner of Oriental Medicine with over 10 years experience in natural therapies, Kim brings a unique combination of the Oriental Healing Arts and body work together.
Kim’s approach to health is based on an understanding that every person’s requirements are different and she therefore sees the importance of tailoring the treatment to the client.Through the application of the principles of Chinese Medicine, Kim draws on her deep understanding of the cause of disease and illness and by doing so assists the client to make the appropriate changes that may be required to restore balance and harmony. This can be achieved by using a combination of:
- Remedial Massage
- Acupuressure
- Acupuncture
- Cupping & Gua Sha
- Moxibustion
Oriental massage therapy stimulates and activates the body’s own energies to help fight illness and restore harmony. The stimulation removes energy blockages by dispersing the toxic build up that accumulates in the muscle tissue. The accumulation of toxins causes stiffness throughout the body. Stiffness in muscles puts abnormal pressure on nerves, blood and lymph vessels which in turn affects both skeletal systems and internal organ functioning.

Lisa Williams
Lisa is passionate about all forms of healing. With a background in biomedical science, Lisa discovered energetic healing four years ago and trained in Reiki before learning to work with crystals in her own personal journey.
Lisa offers treatments that are gentle and nurturing to the spirit, that rebalance and realign a person’s energies leaving them feeling refreshed and grounded and ready for life’s challenges. The treatments can also release blockages and energetic debris in our body space. She uses crystals to augment healing or to gently massage the body, moving energy at the same time.
Lisa also works with the Seraphim Blueprint Angelic Healing System and has recently been bestowed the priviledge of teaching Seraphim workshops, gifting these energies to others as she continues to use the hands-on healing in her practice.
We all have the ability to heal ourselves, we just need to re-learn how, and working with our energy is an important part of this.
