Barnstaple

I am a Therapeutic massage therapist with 38 years' experience working from Fremington, in Devon. I originally trained as a nurse and worked in both General and Psychiatric nursing! One of the best decisions of my life, was to beg and borrow the money to train as a massage therapist in London. and here I am, still passionately enjoying my treatments. I work closely with the NHS and other allied therapists and have my clinic in Fremington. I specialise in all massage disciplines. I can do a firm Remedial or Sports Massage and have released tension and spasms in several Olympic athletes as well as military staff and Formula One drivers. For me, massage keeps body and soul together and without that regular M.O.T to destress and release tension and pain throughout the body, I would certainly not be able to continue enjoying such a healthy lifestyle and living the dream. My clientele tends to be a variety of adults of all ages who enjoy a therapeutic treatment to improve their mobility and release aches and pains. A treatment to keep them moving, as well as young athletes who want a Deep Tissue or Sports massage to rectify a specific issue. I am also a clinical Aromatherapist and have used my oils to treat numerus conditions as well as detoxifying, uplifting and relaxing thousands of clients over the years. I have referrals from the medical professionals, chiropractors, and Osteopaths and if you want to have an informal chat about whether my treatments can help you, then please give me a ring.

The National Association of Child Contact Centres (NACCC) was founded in Nottingham in 1991 with the establishment of the first Child Contact Centre. It is a registered charity, and an umbrella organisation which sets the National Standards to which Child Contact Centres must work. Child Contact Centres are neutral places where children of separated families can enjoy contact with non-resident parents and sometimes other family members, in a comfortable and safe environment. Every year, this national organisation via its member centres, support families and children in their local community. There are accredited member centres throughout England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands. They are operated by a variety of independent organisations that form the membership of NACCC. NACCC is unique in the service it provides for local Contact Centres. Many of our members, provide ‘Supported Contact’ They are predominantly open on alternate Saturdays. These centres are only suitable for families that are deemed to present minimal risk of violence or abuse. In some cases, a higher level of supervision is needed because a child or parent is at risk of harm. These are ‘Supervised Contact Centres‘ and are used in these situations, but also can be used to reintroduce a child to a parent where there has been a substantial gap in contact. NACCC has an accreditation process which ensures members meet national standards. An assessor visits every three years to ensure that the centres comply with DBS checks, health and safety legislation, that HR practices are carried out appropriate, their financial situation, their operating procedures are in accordance with the standards, and safeguarding procedures are in place. The assessor then submits a report to NACCC. If the centre does not comply with all areas, an action plan is issued which is time limited. NACCC also delivers high quality training and support to ensure members are well equipped and knowledgeable. In addition, there is a helpline which centres, and parents can ring for advice and guidance, and a safeguarding helpline in the event of an issue arising at the centre.
