Jon is a medically trained doctor who is no longer practicing as a conventional doctor, but chooses to focus on holistic body work and listening therapies.

Jon will not diagnose your medical illnesses, and will refer you back to your GP for medical diagnosis, however he is happy to work with you in your healing process.

 

 

Conventional Training

 

Jon has ten years experience in several medical disciplines including adult general medicine and surgery, hospital and community peadiatrics, and child and adolescent psychiatry. Through his conventional training and experience he has gained understanding of how the body and psyche function and how disease processes manifest within human beings. He has always been interested in complimentary medicine and his experience working in hospitals led him to wish to work more holistically as an ally in the healing process.

Jon also studied three years part time to acquire a diploma in psychoanalytic observational studies, which has informed his understanding of the human condition and honed his listening skills.

 

Complimentary Training 

 

Jon has trained in Traditional Thai massage at two prestigious schools of massage in Thailand.

He has also acquired level three diplomas in Swedish Massage, Aromatherapy and Indian Head Massage.

Jon is interested in storytelling and the stories we tell about ourselves and each other, he would like to develop his understanding of narratives and work with the stories we tell about ourselves and the world in order to enhance the healing process.

 

 

 

Jon is convinced that healing comes through human touch and understanding, and also through our connection with the rest of the natural world which we are part of.

 

 

Jon is a writer and teller of stories. In one of his narratives a willow tree takes a human form and imparts her wisdom to a lost child.
