Julie Hustwayte
My practice offers Physiotherapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture to help patients with their rehabilitation and pain management following an injury or surgery. I treat both acute and chronic conditions.

With more than twenty years experience as a health professional, both in the NHS and in my own private practice, you can confidently contact me to discuss your health needs.

From our initial telephone conversation, which puts you under no obligation, I will be able to say if I can help or perhaps recommend another approach or colleague.

I hope to speak to you soon.

Equilibrium - Yoga & Wellbeing Centre
Equilibrium Peterborough is a dedicated yoga and well-being centre offering a vibrant yet peaceful atmosphere to enjoy yoga and holistic treatments.

Prior to opening the building has been completely rebuilt and refurbished to suit the needs of a modern yoga and well-being centre. The centre comprises of two sizeable yoga studios, which can be converted into a single space for larger workshops, and two luxurious therapy rooms. Large windows and high ceilings give the whole centre a wonderful air of space and light, while underfloor heating ensures the ideal temperature for practice and treatments.

Pregnancy yoga is suitable for women who are at least 12-14 weeks pregnant. It is an excellent way to bond with the unborn baby. It not only helps to deal with problems which might occur during pregnancy, such as back and shoulder problems, but it also prepares the expecting mother for labour and birth. Specific postures and breathing techniques will help to develop and improve strength, stamina and peace of mind.

Natural Health
Professional, Safe & Effective Medical Acupuncture & Hypnotherapy Since 1993

If you are looking for professional treatment with a registered Medical Practitioner, you are in the right place! As well as knowing you are being treated by a therapist registered with the General Medical Council, you can also have confidence in a practitioner who trained for recognised qualifications at University College London.

Hypnosis can be very effective in the treatment of a wide range of problems. As a practitioner of Western Medical Acupuncture, I use the priciples of modern anatomy, physiology, and neurophysiology when treating patients.

The simultaneous combination of hypnosis and acupuncture in a treatment session is a very powerful management method, though rarely available in the U.K.. It is possible to potentiate the effects of treatment with hypnosis by using acupuncture simultaneously, and it is also possible to potentiate the effects of Acupuncture treatment by using hypnosis.

Elements
I qualified in Reflexology through the British School of Reflexology in 1997. I then went on to train in the Light Touch technique in 2003. I am a full member of the Association of Reflexologists and the NHS Directory of Reflexologists. Reflexology is a wonderful treatment and from week 13 onwards it helps to prepare women for childbirth and can support many of the symptoms associated with pregnancy.

In cases of infertility, where the non-physical causes of infertility can lie with stress and worry, reflexology encourages deep relaxation, which can help alleviate stress and tension, both physically and emotionally.

Babybond Ltd
Babybond believes in choice; your choice. To scan or not, NHS or private, it’s your decision. We also believe that if you choose Babybond, you can be reassured that we provide a service that is complete, professional and ISO Quality Endorsed.

From early assessment and accurately dating your pregnancy, through to nuchal translucency screening, detailed anatomy, fetal presentation and 4D scans, Babybond acknowledges the emotional significance of antenatal scanning.

Jan and Mike Steward, both ultrasound professionals, pioneered the self-referred Ultrasound Bonding Scan in the UK having felt the benefit that early 3D/4D technology development had on their own pregnancy. As parents as well as company Directors, in 1998 they founded Babybond Ltd. to offer more choice and greater access to safe ultrasound services for pregnant families at convenient times. Jan and Mike continue to develop new, innovative pregnancy services at Babybond
