"Having various issues as a result of suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Depression, brought on as a result of Military Service, I had the opportunity for an appointment with Harriet, who was a voluntary member of the 'Skiing With Heroes' Veterans rehabilitation ski week in Switzerland. 

Having received treatment in various forms, and being prescribed a variety of 'conventional' drugs for my sleep, confidence, anxiety issues, I went along, sceptical but with an open mind, willing to try anything.

I was welcomed into the treatment room by Harriet into what could only be described as a calming atmosphere.

I was surprised at how quickly I felt relaxed following the gentle touch and warmth that was generated from Harriet's hand placements at various point along my body. I became so relaxed, entering a semi conscious state which was warm, pleasant and calm. The next thing I was aware of was being gently woken up 45 mins later and presented with a glass of water.

I woke feeling immensely calm and relaxed, so much so that I returned to my room and relaxed for a further hour. I was also able to get a good four hours (that's good for me!) uninterrupted non disturbing sleep that night.

I was sure to recommend everyone within our group to book in for an appointment, which can be described in a single word - "Awesome".

“I came to Harriet as a true sceptic having lost the use of my right hand after surgery. The surgery left my right hand as a clenched fist, which I was unable to open and close – so I couldn’t write, tack up, use cutlery, or even hold a glass of wine! My hand was completely useless and had been for four months with little or no sign of recovery. However, after the second treatment I could feel definite changes and three months later my hand is virtually back to normal. It is quite amazing!

Then I asked her to treat one of my event horses that tends to be rather wooden on the flat. He responded incredibly well by really stretching and releasing his poor old stiff places. Bonkers, but amazing!"

"Oliver, aged 17, started going to Harriet for treatment because he gets very tense. After the first session, despite being non-verbal and autistic, he asked me if he could go again! This was the first time, in his life, that he has spontaneously requested any form of intervention.

Whilst being treated I can see his whole body become still and relaxed, his hands become quieter, which is not a state he is ever in except when asleep.”

Sarah Strong


“I go to Harriet for severe back and neck pain. I feel tremendous heat coming out of her hands, and having arrived in agony, I leave with no pain. I am a person who does not like being crunched and tortured so Harriet's treatment suits me as it is very gentle, relaxing and very positive. Harriet is very professional, sympathetic and I would thoroughly recommend her.”

Mary Sewell


"I was treated by Harriet this year after suffering serious whiplash from a bad car crash several months previously. Recurring back and neck injuries had led to headaches and insomnia. The benefits of Harriet's gentle treatment were amazing. I would thoroughly recommend seeing her."

Teresa Petit


"I had been suffering from weakness and constant tiredness, which meant that riding and looking after my young family was a struggle. However, since seeing Harriet I now have significantly more energy, and needing to go to bed at 9.00pm is something of the past. I am also feeling much stronger. The treatment is extremely relaxing – so much so I normally sleep throughout it." 

Lucinda Froggatt


"I started being treated by Harriet after a recommendation to help with neck pain. The overall result has been a revelation. My posture has improved along with flexibility and a general energy increase. I would highly recommend craniosacral treatment to anyone looking to aid a specific problem or as general tune-up."

 Lainey Atkins


"My 11 year old daughter has suffered twice weekly from severe migraines for several years, resulting in her missing school. She has seen several doctors but no one has found the cause. After only just three treatments with Harriet, she has had only one mild headache, which was not bad enough to be brought home from school - for the first time ever. Also, she can now jump on the trampoline, something she could not do previously as her back was too painful, so she is thrilled to now be able to join in with her friends.

She finds the treatment both relaxing and beneficial and after being a bit nervous on her first visit, she now can't wait for her next session. We would highly recommend Harriet to anyone."

Jenny Nicholson


"During my time in Switzerland with the charity "Skiing With Heroes", I was lucky enough to meet Harriet. Whilst I was very dubious about the therapy, I thought to myself that I have nothing to lose.

From the moment that I stepped into the treatment room, I was engulfed in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere. The therapy that I undertook quite literally changed my life. I left feeling completely satisfied and overwhelmed by Harriet's skills.

After suffering from PTSD for nearly 9 years, this has been by far the most effective, mind blowing treatment that I have been fortunate to receive and I couldn't recommend it enough".

RICKY HUNTLEY, 'Skiing With Heroes' Veteran soldier


"I have been suffering from complex PTSD for ten years and had given up hope of being able to manage the condition effectively when I was introduced to Harriet on the "Skiing With Heroes" rehabilitation week in Switzerland. I am by nature sceptical and so had little hope of experiencing anything useful with CST, but I was desperate and Harriet convinced me to give it a go.

CranioSacral Therapy has had a profound effect on me; I am by no means cured but it has allowed me to find a peace of mind that has eluded me for a very long time.

Thank you Harriet, your compassion is truly inspiring".
