Meet the therapist – Charles Innes

Why did you want to be a homeopathic doctor? I got ill soon after medical school and after being failed by my own field, medicine, looked elsewhere. It was called Fringe medicine back then and made as much, or more sense than what I was practicing. I retrained eventually in homeopathy then herbalism and healing. I was in time for the surge in popularity in the late 90's when was running a big clinic from which I learned that I do not enjoy the limelight or being the boss. What do you enjoy about it? It teaches you the truth, [...]

How to overcome a fear of injections

When the announcement came that there was a vaccine that could protect us from Covid-19, the whole country felt a surge of joy – finally, a way out of this pandemic. But for those people who hate, or have a phobia of needles and injections, that joy was immediately followed by a burst of anxiety! ‘Can I avoid having the vaccine?’ ‘How am I going to cope?’ ‘How can I get over this fear?’ might be just a few of the thoughts that went through your mind if you are one of these people. The answers would be that it’s [...]

Meet the therapist – Alison Gatt, nutritionalist

Why did you want to be a nutritional therapist? I became fascinated about nutrition when I personally experienced the healing powers of food on health. I realised that one size doesn’t fit all. That was turning point in my interest. I suddenly wanted to show and help others that they too could support their own health by eating the foods suited to them as an individual. What do you enjoy most about it? Oh the list is endless… Changing people’s lives by giving them the control of what they eat. Seeing people regain their energy and that ‘umph’ to enjoy [...]

Honey & turmeric; associated health benefits

You may be aware of the beneficial effects of including honey in our diet and you may have also noticed the number of turmeric products that are now hitting the shelves of the health food stores – but have you ever thought about combining them? A homemade drink known as ‘Golden Milk’, has been taking on quite a following due to its anti-inflammatory properties, which have been seen to reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis and other such conditions. Indian spices have long been used as a medicine but you may be surprised to read that raw honey and curcumin, [...]

Meet The Team; Today introducing Augusta Wilson, Osteopath

Why did you want to be an osteopath? I find the body fascinating and I was always intrigued by the idea of the body as a whole and how you can help it reach its optimum health. Once I was trained as an osteopath I decided to build on my skills by training in paediatric osteopathy because everything we are as children, impacts greatly on the adult we become and I wanted to help children to grow into the best adults they could be. What do you enjoy about being an osteopath? I love to help people take control [...]

Meet the therapist – Osteopath, Olivia Swabey

Why did you want to be an osteopath? After a long-standing rowing injury I had a transformative few appointments with an osteopath that not only gave me back the use of my left arm, but made me resign my job and retrain as an osteopath myself! What do you enjoy about being an osteopath? Aside from the satisfaction I get from helping my patients, I love being kept on my toes. You never know who is going to come through the door and what your day will be like. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? I’m [...]

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.

Utterly brilliant!

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.

Jeremy Henderson

Excellent treatment from Andrew who is very considered and professional. Really happy with the outcome and he has definitely improved my back pain issue, hopefully permanently

The best customer service - Best osteopath on the Planet Andrew Oliver - thank you for alll your support - he is Magic

Cat Lamin

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

Russ Edwards

Highly recommend Andrew for any back, neck (or other body issues). Ran without pain for the first time in 4 years, which speaks for itself

Samantha Laycock

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.

Ella S

Absolute magic goes on in this place! Take away the name employees and replace with 'Miracle Workers'. Andrew is fantastic! Cannot fault one thing.

Took my baby here as we had issues breastfeeding and Claire worked her magic on him.
After one session we already had a huge improvement and the issues were solved after three sessions. Would not hesitate to come back. Thank you Claire!!

Carol Glover-Faure

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

Kim Johnson

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.

Samantha Drew

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.

Erin baker

I had a run of physio sessions at The Maris Practice for my shoulder and neck and it was fab: friendly, on time and genuinely helpful treatment

Lex Pedersen

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.

Gabriella Wass

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.

Really excellent practice, highly skilled, friendly and caring staff - the osteopath greatly helped my back problem today. A grateful patient!

Great practice, convenient location
