Offers: Physiotherapy, Massages, Kinesiotaping, AA Metatron Colour Healing, Acupuncture

My name is Desi Eneva and I am the owner of Naturopathic Healing.

By background, I am a physiotherapist with Master Degree and more than 13 years of experience both abroad and in UK. I have nterests in both Children and Adults Neuro Conditions, including SMA and Stroke.

Additional to this I have qualifications in Reiki, Angelic Reiki, AA Metatron Colour Healing and Acupuncture.

I am registered with Health Care Professional Council and I am member of: CSP, APCP and ACPIN.

As a person, I have interests not only in Physiotherapy and Healing methods but also to come within myself and to work towards peace, calmness, acceptance and gratitude. My personal goal is to be better person and to be in service to others.

I have always been interested in sport, physical activities, health and travelling. I played rugby for SRFC for 20 years and have hiked and backpacked extensively in Britain, South America and the Himalayas.

When I returned from travelling I initially trained in therapeutic massage at the London College of Massage graduating in 2007, then subsequently studied at the British School of Shiatsu-Do receiving my Shiatsu Practitioner Diploma in 2012 after 3 years of training. As with most Eastern disciplines Shiatsu recognises there is no separation between the mind and the body in treatment and diagnosis. The traditional techniques of balancing the energy in the meridians that flow along the body, acupressure and ampuku (Japanese stomach massage) are directly related to treatment of the person as a whole. This integration of mind, body and spirit has subsequently guided all my further training especially that of Shin Tai, which is a development of Shiatsu pioneered by Saul Goodman, alongside the more advanced soft tissue skills I gained in obtaining my STT Diploma with the LSSM.

I am a Senior member of The Shiatsu Society and have been a registered practitioner with the Society since 2013. As a member I am fully insured and adhere to their Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics and registered with the CNHC. I am also a member of the ISRM, on their register of therapists and fully insured for remedial soft tissue techniques.

Healing Diets coaching is a holistic approach to nutrition, suitable for anyone facing challenges with their health from the very minor to the very major.  It’s also useful for those who wish to boost their energy and health or improve specific facets like sleep or digestion.

During our consultation we deep dive into your food history and I offer practical, personalised advice for healing and health that considers the physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional aspects of your wellbeing.

As a Healing Diets Coach, I am not able to diagnose, but I will use the science of food and expertise in nutrition and its impact on the body to create a holistic healing plan for you after our consultation.  The plan will be completely personalised to help you treat your symptoms naturally and tackle the root cause of the problem, so that symptoms don’t return.  The plan provides you with everything you need to take responsibility for meeting your health objectives.

I whole heartedly believe that we all have the innate capacity to heal, we just to have to support the body to do what it is made to do.

Laura obtained her qualification from the School of Natural Medicine and is a member of the Complementary Medical Association.

Hello, I am Hanna, an advanced bodywork therapist & registered TRE® provider. 

I work with everyone, but specialise in working with clients who suffer with stress, anxiety and held emotion/trauma. Offering massage therapy, fascial release bodywork and TRE® (Tension, stress & trauma release exercises).

Having personally suffered from burn out, anxiety & complex PTSD, somatic bodywork & TRE® have been a big part of my healing process. I am a huge advocate for using bodywork & movement to release emotional holding within the body.

Fascial Release Bodywork is a gentle and effective treatment for chronic pain, scar tissue release, reduced mobility and releasing emotional holding patterns from the body. It recognises and works with the connection between our physical & emotional health giving us the opportunity to heal at the deepest level. 

It can help to release the long term effects of trauma left in the body, whether through accident, surgery, inflammation, birth trauma or emotional trauma. 

TRE® Is an effective and empowering tool for anyone suffering with mild to severe stress, anxiety, chronic pain and on a deeper level held emotion/trauma. TRE allows us to bring online the body's natural tremor mechanism to discharge adrenaline & cortisol from the nervous system and restore balance within the body. Once learnt, it’s self administered and a wellbeing tool you can use for life!

TRE is offered as  a 1 to 1, group & workshop basis in person & online. 

To find out more or book your treatment please contact me on 07950 116 496 or visit roseandbirdbodywork.com | Registered with The Federation Of Holistic Therapists.

“You’ve given me an outlet, a way of processing my emotions & healing on a level I didn't think I was ever going to be capable of. I feel connected to my body again.”

Hi, I'm Jacque - a qualified massage therapist based in Leigh, passionate about helping people feel their best through hands-on, thoughtful care.

My journey into therapy began after I personally experienced years of recurring lower back pain. It wasn't until I found the right treatment that I understood how powerful a holistic approach could be - and that inspired me to help others in the same way.

I use a range of techniques, including deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and lymphatic drainage, always focusing on the whole person rather than just the symptoms.

My Qualifications:

• Level 4 Sports Massage Therapist
• Lymphatic Drainage Certified
• Pregnancy Massage Certified
• Cupping Massage Certified
• British Red Cross, First Aid for Appointed Persons Certified
• Currently training as an Osteopath (M.Ost - qualifying 2028)

Outside of the treatment room, I love staying active - weight training, rock climbing, and running keep me grounded and remind me daily why movement and wellbeing matter so much.

I'd love to support you on your journey to feeling better.

Hi, I'm Dylan - a massage therapist and third-year osteopathy student based in Leigh, passionate about helping people move better, recover from injuries, and feel their best through hands-on, personalised care.

My journey into osteopathy and hands-on therapy has been shaped by a varied career. I spent many years working as a chef for ultra-high-net-worth clients, an experience that taught me the importance of attention to detail, working under pressure, and understanding the individual needs of the people I work with.

Alongside my osteopathic studies, I have developed a strong interest in deep tissue massage and injury-focused manual therapy. I enjoy combining practical hands-on treatment with the clinical knowledge I am developing through my osteopathic training, always taking the individual and their lifestyle into consideration.

Outside of work and studying, I'm a keen extreme sports enthusiast and particularly enjoy kiteboarding - although, living in the UK, I'm slowly learning that my hobby is sometimes more about watching the weather forecast than actually getting on the water!

My aim is to provide thoughtful, personalised treatment that helps you feel better, move freely, and live well - supporting you to get back to the things you enjoy and feel your best along the way.
