Meet Our Osteopaths

Victoria Kent BSc(Hons)Ost MSCCO 

Osteopathy, Cranial Osteopathy 

Background and Osteopathic Interest

I am a multi-disciplinary osteopath with over 25 years’ experience, specialising in women, babies and children.

Having graduated from the British School of Osteopathy in 1998, I started my professional career with two of the UK’s leading osteopathic clinics. At the Penn Clinic (Hatfield,Herts) I specialised in cranial osteopathy and babies and was directly mentored by Caroline Penn for 4 years. At the Kane and Ross Clinic (Wimpole St and Sloane St London) I focussed on pregnancy and post-natal care of mothers and new-borns, working in direct conjunction with obstetricians from renowned hospitals The Portland and St John & Elizabeth’s. 

Returning to my hometown of Bath in 2005 I ran my own practice for five years, The Victoria Kent Clinic (Catherine Place), before relocating to Singapore with my family for the following nine years. 

In Singapore, I worked as a practitioner and director of the City Osteopathy and Physiotherapy (Guthrie House) Clinic. I helped develop it from a small practice of three clinicians to a multi-disciplinary practice of sixteen, encompassing osteopaths, physiotherapists, naturopathic doctors and acupuncturists.  We purposefully took a collaborative approach across all these disciplines and that, along with mentoring osteopaths at the clinic, really broadened and deepened my holistic knowledge.

Now settled back in Bath, I am enjoying treating many of my former patients and welcoming new ones.  

Over the course of my career, I have treated a wide variety of patients – from those just a few hours old to the oldest at 104. My main focus is helping women, babies and children:  

Having treated women for over 25 years I understand how complex our lives can become and how this can affect our bodies. My main objective is to reduce my patients’ tension and pain, to build their resilience and help them thrive whatever the ups and downs of life.

My personal experience of motherhood deepened my interest in helping babies and children. I had three refluxy babies who didn’t sleep much and my daughters were diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD. This really motivated me to advance my knowledge of the intricacies of babies’ and children’s development.

I draw on my experience by using a wide range of osteopathic techniques including cranial, articulation, soft tissue massage, dry needling and fascial release. I practice reflex integration work and am a member of MNRI (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration). I am also a Caesarean section Scar Release Specialist.

I remain committed to my ongoing professional development and am currently studying for a post graduate diploma in Women’s Health, with leading visceral practitioner Caroline Stone. 

Mags Milan BSc(Hons)MOst 

Osteopathy, Cranial Osteopathy 

Background and Osteopathic Interest

I have had a lifelong interest in helping people to cope with life’s challenges. Having
previously gained first class honours in Psychology, I was delighted to graduate top
of my year at the British School of Osteopathy, winning prizes in academic and
clinical excellence. I have also undertaken additional development in pain science
and recovery with leading researchers in the field.

I am hugely passionate about the role osteopathy can play in promoting wellbeing.
As a parent with two young children, I am aware of the difficulty of balancing
personal and professional demands – and how hard it can be to allocate regular time
for yourself. I believe osteopathy is ideally placed to help children and adults
improve every aspect of their life.

My postgraduate training in paediatrics enables me to help children of all ages
overcome the physical strains that become barriers to fully enjoying life. Whether
supporting families through birth recovery and supporting the work of infant
feeding teams (whatever the method), diagnosing an underlying joint disorder, or
rehabilitating an ankle sprain, treating children is a key aspect of my practice.

My approach aims to engage with your unique body, lifestyle demands, and
understanding of your symptoms, incorporating a wide variety of osteopathic and
pain education techniques, a good listening ear and the odd joke along the way.
I strongly believe that fun is the final piece of the puzzle in leading a happy, healthy
existence!

Daisy Naden MOst 

Osteopathy

Background and Osteopathic Interest

I have a dedicated enthusiasm for helping people live comfortably in their bodies, whether managing chronic conditions or recovering from acute injuries. I aim to help people feel restored and empowered, allowing them to live with greater ease and confidence.

I work with. a wide range of patients using hands -on osteopathic techniques. Where appropriate, I incorporate breathwork, rehabilitative exercise, and personalised advice, drawing on my background as a yoga teacher and my experience in gym-based training. I also integrate skills from my training in osteopathic lymphatic drainage and remedial massage to provide treatment tailored to each individual. After graduating with distinction from the UCO (formerly BSO) in 2024, I have continued to develop my osteopathic practice and am now keen to explore the cranial field of osteopathy to further complement and expand my clinical approach.

I have a keen interest in osteopathy for women’s health and pregnancy which was shaped by my experience in a Women’s Health and Expectant Mothers Clinic, as well as previous pregnancy massage work. I am excited to explore this further and support women through the various stages of life.

Prior to my osteopathic training, my background was in yoga which laid foundations for my understanding of the body, movement, and healing. A lover of the outdoors, I enjoy spending my free time hiking around hills and swimming in open water.

Meet Our Complementary Therapists

Holly Aragon

Acupuncturist

Background

Hi, I’m Holly and my interest in acupuncture began as a result of an illness I had when I was 25 years old.  The acupuncture treatment I received changed my life so significantly I decided to go to college and train.  I qualified from the College of Traditional Acupuncture in 1992 and began practicing in Chippenham.  I inherited my first practice from a colleague who was moving back to Germany at the time, he very kindly sold it to me for the princely sum of 2 new tyres for his car!

Areas of Interest

Since those early days I’ve generally worked at osteopathic clinics alongside osteopaths and other body workers, sometimes in conjunction them to help relieve patients muscular and skeletal conditions.  This side of my practice keys in to my love of anatomy and trigger point acupuncture techniques.

My other keen interest is Fertility.  I’ve been involved in this side of my work for over 20 years now and see women and men either in conjunction with IVF clinics or to assist with natural cycles.  I also enjoy women’s medicine in general and see younger and older women from anything ranging from irregular periods to menopausal hot flushes.

My Work in General

I always aim to offer a sympathetic listening ear alongside a practical and robust treatment plan.  For those who can’t cope with the idea of needles I’ve devised a similar treatment using hot stones instead of needles.  Frequently I will use both if that that is the best way forward for those comfortable with both.

Going Forward

I’m very aware that recent events have been particularly challenging for many people. Acupuncture can be very useful at times of high stress whether it be caused by  physical, mental or emotional factors.  Every person is unique with their own story to tell.  My job is to listen to that story and do my best to help.

Helen Hudson

Massage Therapist and Reflexologist

I trained as a Reflexologist at the Bath School of Reflexology in 2000 and as a Massage Therapist in 2008 at the Bristol College of Massage and Bodywork. I have worked since then at Babington House Hotel and Spa near Frome, treating very lovely but also very discerning clients from all over the world. I am happy to now also be working at The Wellbeing Clinic, Corsham.

I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists and the Massage Training Institute and as such am constantly learning and improving my skills with further courses and training.

Reflexology is a very relaxing treatment but also a safe and effective way of helping our bodies to rebalance themselves, bringing about positive changes both physically and emotionally and helping to restore vitality and balance.

Holistic Massage includes deep tissue and traditional Swedish massage as well as gentle mobilisations and stretches. This can help to bring about many physical improvements such as releasing tight muscles, improving circulation, nervous function and joint mobility.

The following testimonial is from one of my many satisfied clients:

” I moved to Bath 16 years ago and up until that time had regular massage in London. I’ve had a long history of joint problems, specifically facial and jaw pain and chronic sciatica and finding a skilled and experienced therapist is vital to managing my wellbeing. It took few years to find Helen but without doubt she is the most amazing therapist I have ever met. She has that rare combination of being highly experienced and skilled and at the same time has wonderful intuition, knowing exactly what your body most needs to heal. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! You will feel like you are floating on air after a massage with Helen, I have the best night’s sleep after a treatment and feel relaxed and well.”

Helen is available at The Wellbeing Clinic every Monday. To make an appointment or for further information please call Helen on 07788 585281

Kate Furneaux

Foot Health Practitioner

Hi, I’m Kate. I have been a Registered Nurse for 22 years working predominately for the NHS. My most recent role was in the Medical admissions unit at Southmead hospital in Bristol. It was whilst nursing in such a fast-paced environment, that I began recognising the impact that poor foot health was having on the population and their ability to reach their full potential, remain independant or simply mobilise without pain.

“I realised that I could make a difference in a slower paced way. I love feet, I think they are a marvel of engineering that we take for granted too often. How much thought do we really put into our feet? Even when there is a problem, they are the last in the queue to receive attention.”

I decided to retrain as a Foot Health Practitioner as Podiatrists just as nurses within the NHS are overstretched and with a family, retraining to a degree standard was just unattainable. I would need to move my entire family, and I love Wiltshire! Podiatrists are qualified to work on a range of specialist foot treatments, whereas Foot Health Practitioners work on a wide range of less specialist and invasive procedures, as well as observe general foot health. Prices reflect this , they are more attainable to the public and I can spend more time with my clients offering a truly personal service.

Whether at home with an outreach appointment or at clinic, a footcare session could include the following, depending on the client’s needs:

• A full assessment of your feet, including taking medical details.
• Trimming and filing of toenails
• Reducing any thickened toenails
• Debriding callus
• Enucleating any corns(hard-corns, soft-corns and seed corns)
• Parr any verruca
• Cleansing the foot with skin disinfectant pre, during and post treatment
• Dressings, paddings and any medicinal tinctures if required
• Foot massage with professional foot care cream suitable for your skin condition
• Advice on footwear and maintaining your foot care in between appointments
• And most importantly a friendly face and a chinwag!

Kate is available at The Wellbeing Clinic each week on Wednesday afternoons and all day Thursday. To contact Kate directly please call 07870 659955 or e mail: katefurneaux@nullhotmail.co.uk or for further information visit Kate’s website www.footworkswiltshire.com

Ruth Hussey DipHIC (BCPC) MBACP

Psychotherapeutic Counsellor

Hello, I’m a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and as such can work on a time-limited or open-ended basis, depending on your therapeutic goals. 

My training at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling is fully accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). It primarily combines two therapeutic modes of working: Person-Centred, and Psychodynamic.

The Person-Centred mode of working is based on a belief that the client is the expert on their own life, has the capacity to change, and that an empathic, honest and non-judgemental therapeutic relationship can be transformational. 

The Psychodynamic model attributes early life experiences to our unique ‘way of being’ in adulthood. As an integrative counsellor I can draw upon these and multiple theories and models to support you. 

Over the past 3 years I have been working as a volunteer counsellor with a local charity supporting clients across a diverse range of backgrounds. I have been running my private practise out of Corsham Wellbeing Clinic since September 2021. I have experience of working with presenting issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and addiction.

What you can expect:

A comfortable and confidential space where you can talk freely

A non-judgemental acceptance of what you bring

A collaborative relationship in which we work together to find the best way forward

You can be reassured that as a member of BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) I abide by their strict code of ethics.

Jean Watt 

Homeopath

BACKGROUND 

I qualified in 2008 with an Honours degree and a licentiate from the College of Homeopathic Education. (C.H.E.) in London.

I had to become a homeopath as I had watched one of my children’s severe eczema clear up using homeopathy.  To watch that happen was amazing and I had only decided to use homeopathy because my Doctor was suggesting steroid wrapping them, at three months old!   Looking around for a different solution I came across homeopathy and at that time didn’t fully appreciate the breadth and depth of homeopathy at all.

Anything you would go and see a Doctor for you can go and see a homeopath for, from physical illness to mental and emotional issues. Remedies are non addictive and non toxic and can be used alongside conventional medicine.

Being an holistic therapy homeopathy takes into account all of your symptoms, both emotional, physical and your family history to understand your genetic susceptibilities.

Life is a journey, as is your health and homeopathy can help unravel illness bringing balance back, removing dis-ease

PERSONAL INTERESTS

I love living in Wiltshire, an amazing part of the UK to live with easy access to everywhere!  I was born in London and lived the majority of my life in London always slightly irritated that my parents were in London too and the time it took to go and see them I could have driven out of London to somewhere calm and relaxed for the occasional weekend away!  I never managed to persuade them it would be an excellent idea for them to move so I did!  I love walking and exploring this country we live in.  If I can squeeze in a walk to somewhere new at a weekend I will. I can’t always persuade family members to join me but my lovely dog, Pebbles, is always by my side. More organisation on my part is needed to figure out how to walk all the coastline of the UK before I die!

If homeopathy is something you would like to explore but would like further information, please text or email me and we can arrange a chat if necessary.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Anna Browne 

Nutritional Therapist 

BACKGROUND

Hello, I’m Anna, and I am a nutritional therapist working with anyone who wants to address a specific health condition or to optimise their overall health. 

I studied at The College of Naturopathic Nutrition and am registered with the British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and The Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHN).

I am an accredited reflux practitioner, and can work with you to discover and resolve the underlying reason for your digestive discomfort, and help you come off antacid medication where applicable. Find my entry on the Digestion with Confidence website https://digestionwithconfidence.co.uk/experts/anna-browne

I am also trained to teach Kundalini and Yin yoga. This background in teaching yoga and meditation, has helped me to understand the direct relationship between our state of mind and our overall health. For instance, research shows that simple tools such as meditation and breathing practices can have a positive impact on digestion. I will often include one or other as part of my health supporting protocol.

ABOUT NUTRITIONAL THERAPY

Nutritional Therapy is a science based approach that combines personalised diet, supplement and lifestyle changes to naturally redress imbalance, and restore your body back to a state of equilibrium and health. 

What makes nutritional therapy unique and so effective is that it aims to uncover the root cause of your health issue, rather than just dealing with your symptoms, although we will do that too of course! 

Nutritional Therapy can help with many health conditions. Here are some of the potential benefits: 

• Resolves digestion issue
• Balances blood sugar
• Balances hormones
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Supports heart health
• Addresses skin issues
• Maintains a healthy weight
• Boosts immunity

PERSONAL INTERESTS

I am a relative newcomer to Wiltshire having moved here last year from a life in busy London, where I practiced from my therapy space in Forest Hill. I am loving the pace of life here, the stunning countryside and how friendly everyone is! When I’m not working, I’m practicing yoga, Pilates or Zumba, off out with my Nordic walking group, or deeply engrossed in the meditation of life drawing! 

Here is what one of my clients had to say about working with me:

I would wholeheartedly recommend Anna to guide you through a journey into greater wellbeing. I came to Anna in shock really with a very unexpected diagnosis. Anna’s breadth of knowledge, along with warmth, empathy and patience was a relief. Each in depth consultation provided clear and achievable goals and guidelines with very accessible supplementary information/literature. I felt supported and enabled to continue onwards fully equipped to meet a chronic health condition. Within a month I could feel the benefits of the work. Anna’s expertise, deep understanding of nutritional and holistic health, her sensitivity, kindness and excellent communication throughout it has been an invaluable, life-affirming experience. – Al

Anna is available at The Wellbeing Clinic on Tuesdays 2-6pm.
