Matthew Jackson
BSc (Hons) Ost, Dip Ac/CHM (China), Pg Dip CHM (Gynaecology and Obstetrics), MRCHM
I trained in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in 1993 at the London Academy of Oriental Medicine. I then studied for a further eight months in Nanjing China, working in hospitals alongside renowned Chinese professors treating a wide spectrum of conditions and diseases.
I belong to the register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (www.rchm.co.uk) and am presently a council member. I am registered to practice acupuncture within the Somerset districts of Mendip and Sedgemoor.
I trained as an osteopath at the London School of Osteopathy (www.lso.ac.uk), registered with the General Osteopathic Council (www.osteopathy.org.uk) and the British Osteopathic Association (www.osteopathy.org).
I hold a post graduate diploma in Gynaecology and Obstetrics and am an associate of the Woman's Natural Health Practice, (www.naturalgynae.com), Harley Street, London.
I have experience treating many different conditions, but my special interests include musculoskeletal conditions, gynaecology and infertility.
Emily Jackson
BSc (Hons) Ost, MSc Paed Ost
I studied osteopathy at the British School of Osteopathy (www.bso.ac.uk) in 1999, I have special interests in a gentle approach to treatment, practicing Cranial Osteopathy after postgraduate training at Sutherland Cranial College (www.sutherlandcranialcollege.co.uk). This is suitable for all ages from newborn babies to the elderly due to its gentle and non-invasive nature.
I have carried out numerous postgraduate studies, including an MSc in Paediatric Osteopathy at the Osteopathic Centre for Children (www.occ.uk.com).
I practice at the Somerset Health Practice and in London (www.leinsterosteopaths.co.uk). I have also travelled and practiced extensively in New Zealand and Sri Lanka picking up new techniques and meeting many interesting and inspiring people in her field and other disciplines worldwide.

Lina Morton
MSc (Counselling), BSc (Hons)Psych, Cert.Ed. MBACP, MBPS, MBSCAH, Member NHS Directory of Complementary and Alternative Practitioners
I trained at Bristol University (www.bris.ac.uk) as an Integrative Counsellor, which means I am skilled in helping people to achieve a broad range of objectives using different theoretical models. I offer professional support in a safe and confidential environment.
I am an accredited member of the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis (www.bscah.com). I practice hypnosis within a psychological and counselling framework.
In the context of fertility issues, hypnosis enables deep relaxation, which can help to create the optimum condition for the body to respond to treatment.
In childbirth, hypnosis training prior to delivery diminishes anxieties and fears and reduces pain without interference to the physiology of mother and child. Hypnotic techniques can enable pain control. Labour and delivery can be enjoyed in a relaxed and controlled way.
