Wendy Buttery Yoga
I teach several classes a week in North Tyneside and Newcastle Upon Tyne. The classes are foundation or intermediate level or classes for pregnant women and include asana, pranayama and meditation mainly. The focus is on alignment, as with Iyengar and much of my training has been with Iyengar yoga, but I also include a vinyasa element as I find this an energising addition to the practice.

The foundation classes have a relaxed atmosphere but are also challenging enough for people who have already undertaken introductory yoga courses. The intermediate class is more challenging and has more of a vinyasa element to it. The pregnancy classes work on strenghtening the body in time for birth.

Anne Larvin Medical Herbalist
Having gained a degree in Law from Durham University, I worked in industry for over 20 years - mainly in the pharmaceutical industry. My career was in senior management roles in both customer service and later in purchasing in a multinational company environment. When my son was born I took the opportunity to develop my deep interest in herbal medicine, and became a professionally qualified medical herbalist in 2004.

I am a member of NIMH which is the oldest professional body of herbal practitioners in the western world. NIMH was established in 1864 and is the main regulatory body for our profession in this country. It enforces a strict code of Ethics and Practise for all its members. NIMH is involved in training, education, research and carries out consultation with the Government and health industry, as well as being a part of the European Herbal Practitioners Association.

Janet Green Homeopathy
My interest in homeopathy comes from having seen at first hand how effectively it worked for myself & my three children all for 'acute' situations (such as colds, bruises, bumps) and deeper-seated 'chronic' complaints. I am a permanent member of the teaching staff at the Northern College of Homeopathic Medicine where I use my own knowledge & experience of this dynamic form of treatment to help shape the homeopaths of the future.

After a detailed consideration of your case, I will determine the most appropriate homeopathic medicine for you as an individual.

I believe that homeopathy works effectively alongside many other factors to help us achieve wellbeing.

Floataria - Mother to be Massage

Tracey Smith - Independent Midwife
I was inspired to become a midwife following the births of my own two children. My personal experiences of childbirth left me feeling empowered, with a strong belief in the ability of women to birth their babies, although I knew many others whose births had left them feeling powerless and traumatised.

I work closely with individual women to provide them with the information and support they need to make choices that are right for them.  Each appointment lasts for approximately an hour, and much of this time is spent developing a relationship based upon trust and respect, so that when birth begins you feel relaxed and confident in your own choices and your midwife. I also work closely with other independent midwives in the area so that additional midwifery support is available if required.

Whitley Bay Osteopathic Centre
Osteopaths work hands-on to both investigate and treat the underlying causes of pain. All the osteopaths in our practice are registered with the General Osteopathic Council. Every patient is assessed individually and if appropriate a treatment programme is devised. In most cases improvements are seen within three treatments.

Cranial osteopathy is a refined technique using very gentle pressure and is therefore suitable for everyone from new-born babies to the elderly. Frequently treated conditions include glue ear, colic and unexplained crying. Adult conditions treated include headaches and sinusitis.
