Tip of the Week

I am a Masseur, Healer and Hypnotherapist, with 18 years experience. I am based in Brighton and Hove, covering the Sussex coast from Lewes to Shoreham and Worthing.

I specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of problems in the back and neck, having worked alongside a team of Chiropractors for 8 years. So my treatments are particularly helpful for people with neck or back pain. In my work, I find it is very important to be able to offer a range of treatments to match the particular physiological and emotional needs of different people: what works perfectly for someone else may not work for you!

I started Healing about 30 years ago, while at university; and also learned basic counselling and massage skills. In the 90’s, after leaving the business world, I trained professionally in Swedish Massage and in Shiatsu, and have been in practice since 1991. However, experience has been the best opportunity for developing and honing the skills I use today in my healing and therapeutic work, incorporating a holistic approach into Spinal Massage.
For clients who require it, I offer a deeply relaxing Pregnancy Massage, and the powerful Lymphatic Drainage Massage.
I am also trained as a Hypnotherapist and as a Bereavement Counsellor; and most recently, I have trained to be an Interfaith Minister and Spiritual Counsellor.

Part of my work is in helping people to understand how their body works – and their mind, too. With better understanding, people become more able to take control of their lives, and make more positive choices for themselves. Advice on diet, posture and nutrition can be very useful in addition to the therapeutic value of the massage treatment; Counselling, or calming Hypnosis proves even more helpful, for some people.
Often, just being ‘a good and faithful companion’ for people as they go through the ups and downs of life is as much help and support as any of the more ‘technical’ aspects of being a therapist. Just ‘being there’ as a genuinely caring human being is itself part of the antidote for today’s world of depersonalised ‘services’ and goals.
Taking proper care of your body is an essential part of making your life work – not just today but in all the years of your life to come.

”Having someone like Robert in your life when you have the problems I have experienced is almost an essential item. Unfortunately it isn't always easy to find someone with the expertise that Robert has. He definitely has 'healing hands' combined with all the various techniques someone like me requires.
The combination of Deep Tissue Massage with Lymph massage, Shiatsu, Spinal healing and massage all make for a real opportunity to improve the quality of life for anyone suffering from neck, back, hip and/or leg problems. I unfortunately have a combination of all these problems to the point where I was virtually unable to walk.
I am now able to do so much more and much of the credit for this must go to the treatment I have received over the last few months from Robert.
Robert also has counselling skills which gives him the patience to deal with clients who have put up with a lot of pain and discomfort caused by their physical problems and disabilities. This winning combination provides all round treatment for his clients.
Thank you Robert” Sheena, ret.
