About Christine Champion

Interest in the study of the human body has fuelled Christine’s passion in the expression, structure and function of that form, as has the applied understanding of a divergent range of complementary modalities, the synergy of which informs her practice.

Christine has worked in private practice for many years, as well as in complementary health centres, medical centres, and corporate settings. She has participated in many events such as the Body Mind Spirit Festival, and fund raising field days. She has also worked in a residential care facility where she developed and implemented a complementary therapy programme. Experience across these diverse settings has both enriched her practice and deepened her conviction that hands-on treatment plays an important role in helping to assist in healing many conditions.
Through her volunteer work at a drug rehabilitation centre, and a palliative care unit, Christine remains committed to contributing her support within the health care system

Oriental therapies:

Reiki

This gentle, hands on, healing method has its origins in ancient Tibetan sutras. The gentle energy or ki, assists the body to restore homeostasis, and thereby balances body, mind, spirit

Shiatsu

Shiatsu means ‘finger pressure’, and by applying pressure to points along meridians, a therapist can help regulate and balance the ki and assist the body towards homeostasis

Sei-tai so

Sei Tai So means ‘Correct Body Movement’. It consists of passive mobilisations and stretches combined with breath work, the aim of which is to balance ki and enhance mobility. It integrates well with Shiatsu

Cupping

Cupping strengthens the immune system, which can help prevent colds. It is also effective in reducing menstrual pain, aching muscles, and joint pain. Cupping draws out stagnant ki, lymph, and blood, thus promoting healing to injury sites

Aromatherapy

Essential Oils are a natural and pleasurable way to restore vitality, enhance emotional wellbeing, stimulate the body’s immunity, as well as address many conditions

Sequential treatments

Three treatments are recommended*. In this way both client and therapist can evaluate progress and develop a specific treatment plan.

Regular massage

This is a positive way to provide ongoing relaxation to avoid stress build up, as well as being a most enjoyable experience
