Who We Are
We are two experienced health practitioners with different skills sets but synchronised in our approach to caring for clients properly.
We personally know how insidiously tricky it can be to find out how to become our full potential, empowering ourselves to take charge of our entire well-being.
Life's overwhelming pace, and what Catherine calls "muck and rubble" can keep getting in the way of our behaviours matching up with what we really want.
Janet and Catherine work closely together, having individual clients but also running courses and a sacred and empowering membership together.

About me, my experiences and what drives me
Whilst I have 40 years of clinical experience in Integrated Medicine, I also am a patient and have been my entire life, however much I may still resist that term! I live with multiple rare genetic disorders that I was born with. I am the third generation living with one of the rarer types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Mast Cell Activation Disorder and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Integrative health medicine has always given me quality of life, hence wanting to share what is possible with you.
I feel humbled, grateful, and incredibly fortunate to have the skill set to continue on in the fantastic adventure of life. It is my huge privilege to work with fellow warriors of our spirits, minds and physical jackets to ensure that we make the utmost out of the time we have on this precious planet.
In a mind, body and spirit that are never separated, I have continued to discover just how much more hope and wisdom there is in all of our challenges. So far, my life has been punctuated with:
- 45 spinal/structural rebuilding operations, gynaecological, digestive or "cancer-related surgeries".
- I have been rebuilt so many times that my neck, spine, pelvis and hip look like a giant Lego set, which would not look out of place in a Star Wars movie.
- Almost totally deaf for the first 7 years of my life, until the first surgical intervention gave me back the gift of sound.
- 3 different cancer diagnoses, a close fourth only months ago as I wrote the first book, requiring further surgery.
- Two strokes.
- Diseases and conditions that would have most medics scurrying towards the door or drinks cabinet.
- I had my life saved over 9 times.
- Gone way beyond my "sell by date", living outside of any so called "comfort zone" on all levels.
Qualifications and Accreditations:
- I trained for 9 years. The first years were with Professor Worsley in 5 Element Acupuncture.
- Qualified at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading.
- Grief Recovery and Trauma Specialist.
- Trained under Neale Donald Walsch.
- Reconnection-Certified Practitioner.
- Author of UnRavel Dis-Ease Naturally.
- Author of The Paradox of Pain.
- Author of The Slip Stream to the Miraculous.
- Public Speaker.
- My super power is humour, seeing life as a huge adventure to be enjoyed , not endured.
- My personal motto is “ Reality is vastly over estimated”, which is why God and the universe has blessed us with the power of imagination.

Trauma Doula
- A doula is someone who provides support & companionship in a time of need within a particular field.
- A trauma doula offers a space, a containing space, for the unravelling of life's harmful impacts on us. They provide support, understanding, and validation, helping individuals navigate their healing journey.
My work as Trauma Doula is about allowing you space to connect with yourself, in a gentle, caring & non-invasive space. As a Trauma Doula, I am here to listen to your words. When we feel heard and validated, we can begin to untangle the trauma within & find possibility & creativity instead of despair and hopelessness. We are each unique beings & our uniqueness is our value. My intention is to offer you the space to see and take back yourself & to allow you to begin the journey of claiming your unique worth.
Cranio-Sacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive and gentle approach that allows self-awareness and healing to develop. The holding nature of Cranio-Sacral therapy offers an excellent, safe, and dialogue-free space to begin exploring and experiencing our authentic selves. It is like psychotherapy without words, while being nurtured in a way that few of us have experienced.
We have, at last, an opportunity to hear ourselves—a chance to get to know ourselves, without intrusion from another. We can begin to connect with our unique life force and the gift we have to the world. This nurturing environment ensures your safety and comfort throughout the healing process.
Access Consciousness Bars Therapy
Access Bars, like cranio, is a very gentle, non-invasive, light contact treatment, using fingers and occasionally the palms, on points or areas on the head.
It is a profoundly relaxing experience that creates space and allowance for healing and self-discovery.
Holding someone into their own awareness is another way of "hearing" and validating a person's story. It is a beautiful thing to be able to do.
I did my ACB course in January 2016 with Felicity Duke-Norris Fernandes, who is also an extraordinary Craniosacral therapist.
❤️ I am passionate about the holistic and gentle practice of Cranio-Sacral therapy.
❤️ I love the way Trauma Doula listening allows, without judgment, a person to be heard and validate
Both of my chosen modalities allow for a person to BE. And from each person's unique BE-ing, their value and purpose are found. This individualised approach ensures that you are understood and respected in your unique journey towards healing.
❤️Our worth shines out in Self Acknowledgement
What is said about Janet's work
"In her craniosacral practice Janet Leslie holds a quiet and still space for your body to release, deeply rest and find new resources of steady, calm energy."
"Working with Janet was my first experience with cranial sacral therapy, and can confidently say that it is a practice I will be coming back to for the rest of my life.

"Working with Janet was my first experience with cranial sacral therapy, and can confidently say that it is a practice I will be coming back to for the rest of my life.
After seeing so many traditional doctors and never feeling any positive outcomes, it was a huge breath of fresh air to work with someone with so much knowledge of the connection between the physical and the emotional.
Cranial sacral therapy helped me feel safe enough to address trauma trapped in my body and guided me through releasing it safely and carefully. This form of therapy is a compassionate way of honouring your body and finding guidance in facing your trauma.
I would highly recommend this form of therapy for those who often struggle to find the words to explain an experience. It helps you to process the emotions and trauma through the body in ways talk therapy and words cannot describe"

"I appreciated the opportunity for deep rest. I would leave the sessions feeling my skeleton had had an opportunity to realign and my nervous system to profoundly recharge."
