Chiropractic Care
Chiropractors use their hands to adjust the joints back to alignment (the clicking sound). A misaligned joint can compromise the healthy function of the body. If a spinal joint is misaligned it will compromise the function of the nerves related to it, this will have an effect on the whole body. This is why chiropractors can help so many different conditions.

Counselling
Counselling offers time to talk in a safe and nurturing space – working alongside another to help you understand yourself, the decisions that you make and to consider changes which will help you live more fully. You may have specific issues to consider, or want to use the space for more general self-development and empowerment.
