Nourishing Balance: Understanding the impact of how Nutrition impacts on Women’s Hormones

The intricate dance of hormones within a woman's body plays a crucial role in her overall well-being, from mood swings to fertility and beyond. While hormonal fluctuations are a natural part of life, nutrition can profoundly influence their balance, offering women a pathway to optimise their hormonal health naturally. One of the most critical aspects of supporting hormonal balance through nutrition is maintaining stable blood sugar levels. Consuming complex carbohydrates, fibre-rich foods, and healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar, preventing insulin spikes and crashes that can disrupt hormone production. Incorporating whole grains, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and proteins into meals [...]

Rejuvenate Your Radiance: Unlocking the benefits of Natural Facial Treatments

The profound impact that manual therapies can have on our overall health is often overlooked, underrated or mis-understood. This frequently includes the realm of facial care treatments. I have always found facials to be one of the most relaxing treatments I ever have. Why is that? Natural treatments, such has Osteopathic Facial Massage (OFM) and Facial Rejuvenating Acupuncture or massage are rooted in Osteopathic or ancient Chinese acupuncture principles and focus on releasing tension, improving circulation, and restoring balance to the intricate network of muscles in the face and neck. Unlike many cosmetic facials that merely address surface-level concerns, these [...]

Using Paediatric acupuncture to support ADHD and ASD treatment

Hello, my name is Angelina He, and I am a paediatric acupuncturist working at The Maris Practice. I have a great interest in helping children with ADHD and ASD conditions. As a mum of a teenager and have previously worked with children, those experiences gave me better understanding about how stressful and exhausted the parents be if their child is unwell or in a chronic health condition. It is the main reason for me to become a paediatric acupuncturist which equipped me to help children physically. Treating ADHD and ASD children is incredibly rewarding - once they become more settled, [...]

Acupuncture – getting to the point

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practice that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body (known as acupoints). The practice has gained widespread popularity in recent years due to its potential benefits for a wide range of health conditions. The origins of acupuncture can be traced back to ancient China, where it is believed the human body had a network of channels (or meridians) through which our vital energy force, Qi (“chee”) flows. Acupuncture balances and restores the flow of Qi in the body. Today, acupuncture is widely recognized as a safe and effective [...]

Celebrating International Day of Yoga 2023

(Guest article from Yoga Therapist, Sammie Mason) With International Day of Yoga 2023 almost upon us it’s a privilege to be able to celebrate the profound impact yoga has on our physical, mental and spiritual well-being. For 2023, the theme is 'One World, One Health' resonating with the ancient Indian principle of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” which promotes the interconnectedness of all living beings. This year’s theme carries immense relevance in today’s global context. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the interconnectedness of human health, animal well-being, and the environment. It has underscored the fact that our actions have far-reaching consequences and that [...]

Keep Cool This Summer

I don’t think anyone has escaped the unusual summer heat this year, which means that there are lots of ideas for ‘keeping cool’ being bandied about! For me, the heat really does effect mealtimes and what I plan to serve the family. I always try and make the most of the seasonal fruit and vegetables while I can, but when you are feeling hot, it can be difficult to come up with original ideas. So, here’s a few of my favourites to get you through the next warm spell and help you feel a little more refreshed. And I’m sure [...]

Having spent over a year getting nowhere with a chiropractor I was delighted to get immediate pain relief and start a sustained road to recovery from the team at Maris.

I have been seeing Hannah McCrudden for cranial osteopathy for some years now but I recently experienced her osteopathic facial massage treatment which was completely new and wonderful. It is a real workout for the face which it normally never receives as we mostly focus on work outs for our bodies. Hannah's knowledge and expertise manipulated my face from the inside out which left me feeling as if I literally had more space behind my face. At the end of the session I felt a bit spaced out but the habitual tension behind my nose was lifted and I looked more relaxed and smoothed out. Three days later I still felt and looked ' smoothed out ' This treatment is very different to a usual beauty massage and feels much more profound. Another magical treatment from Hannah at the continually brilliant Maris Practice.

I had acupuncture with Angelina. The session was very relaxing and helpful for my shoulder pain. Angelina explained to me the techniques she was using and spent time getting to know how she could help me. I felt very comfortable and will be returning for some more session as I feel very good after my session.

Having visited the Maris Practice for their breast-feeding drop in sessions, we decided to take our son to see Gus to help solve sleeping issues relating to silent reflux when he was an infant - she was so kind and lovely with him and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a cranial osteopath.Since then, both myself and my partner have seen Andrew for our own osteopathy needs and have recommended him to a number of friends - he is a wonderful osteopath and is really good at explaining what he's doing and why.I wouldn't go anywhere else because I feel completely comfortable and safe seeing Andrew or Gus

I’ve been having Yoga Therapy sessions with Sammie and cannot recommend highly enough. She made a difference after just one session and gave me tailored practice for home which also help (without being difficult to fit into a busy week!). All that and the space itself is lovely, Covid safe, and a pleasure to be in.

Over the past 6 months, I have visited the clinic 3 times (pre and post Covid) due to my back problem. Every time, I walked in with mega pain and walk out feeling like l a new person. I have seen Andrew, Gus & Claire all 3 simply amazing & gifted. Carol

I have been seeing Jessica Busen-smith for some years at the Maris practice. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is amazing and I have nick named her magic hands!Since the pandemic I feel very safe going back for treatment as they have implemented all of the safety procedures that the government have put in place. I thought it might be odd but I've got used to wearing a mask. On a final plus they have had a refurb so the rooms are newly painted, new flooring etc and it looks great.

I attended the practice for a tapping group session for food cravings. I was quite skeptical when I went as I couldn’t understand how tapping on your face and head could help with a craving... but it did. Louise also emailed us some guides so we could have all the information from the session.Staff at the practice were very professional and the practice itself was easy to find and only a short walk from Twickenham station.

Thank you so much to the Maris Practice for all your help. I was so worried about my daughters back after a bad fall. Claire treated her and was amazing. So tentative, very professional and clearly gifted in her ability to heal people. I can thoroughly recommend Claire and the practice.

Can't reccomend highly enough. I have been seeing Hannah McCrudden throughout my pregnancy and it has been a godsend. She is knowledgeable, soothing, and (most importantly) extremely good at her job. I always come out feeling better and she's helped with issues from joint and back pain to difficulties breathing. Not only in terms of the work that she has done with my body (which is SO relaxing and always a highlight of my fortnight!) but also the advice she's given on really simple exercises to pick up. The latter is particularly welcome as often it can be overwhelming to take home exercises to do in between, but this is the first time I've seen someone who's successfully encouraged me to do things that slot almost effortlessly into everyday life. The practice is so well run and seems to hire the best people. There are loads of other interesting initiaitves and talks there and all well worth checking out.
