"Hi, my name is Danielle. I am a qualified and insured massage therapist based at Watchbell House on a Friday as well as in my garden wellness cabin in Whitwell evenings and weekends. I started my massage journey at the Isle of Wight college many years ago back in 2009 qualifying in Swedish, Aromatherapy, and Indian head massage, starting out as mobile and attending events like school ladies nights, Wolverton Manor and wedding fayres. I knew that I wanted to further my skills and continued on the massage journey with various well known establishments learning Deep tissue, Advanced massage techniques, Hot stone, Facials, Hopi ear candles, Bamboo, Thai foot and Sports massage. I am currently studying to be a McTimoney chiropractor The products I use in my massage treatments are naturally sourced, good for the environment and your health".

"Celebrating 25 years in practice this year I qualified as a Mc Timoney Chiropractor in 1999 and taught chiropractic techniques/orthopaedic testing at the McTimoney college for 6 years. In 2017 I successfully certified in diversified (Osteopathic) techniques. For my treatments I use a combination of Mctimoney, Diversified and muscle work on my patients and especially like working on neck and lower back issues. My patient range is from 7 years upwards, so far my eldest patient is 99! My treatments tend to suit those that like a firmer style of treatment though I can use lighter techniques when required. I offer a discount for under 18's NHS and Hospice staff".

"The Ayurvedic Facelift Massage is a treatment that relaxes the facial muscles, stimulates the micro- circulation, and lymph flow, which promotes the regeneration of healthy, younger looking skin. Facial massage also stimulates and activates the natural metabolism of the skin tissue and improves muscle tone, thereby improving the skin's natural capacity to retain moisture. This deeply relaxing and revitalising massage nourishes both hair and hair roots. Using specific oils and techniques it improves blood circulation in the head region, helping to remove physical and emotional energy blockages. It also stimulates the sensory organs and relaxes the mind and soul. "

"Hello, I have been practising Homeocranial for over twenty seven years and have discovered that they are gentle, safe and highly effective in promoting an individual’s innate, self- healing ability. Homeocranial therapy is a unique combination and integration of the principles and practice of homeopathy and biodynamic craniosacral therapy. In response to physical knocks or emotional stress, the body’s tissues contract. Sometimes, particularly when the shock is severe or occurs within an emotional situation, the tissues stay contracted. Any stresses, strains, tensions, or traumas which have been stored in the body in this way will restrict the body’s functioning and may give rise to problems over the years. The effects may be both physical (such as back pain, migraine, or digestive disorders) and emotional (such as anxiety or depression). During a homeocranial treatment session I am listening with my knowing, feeling, and sensing hands in order to assess where there may be hidden strain patterns, or restricted flow of the cerebrospinal fluid. By mirroring back these patterns to your intelligent system, it will be able to release them and realign itself to balance and health. At the end of this initial session, I may also prescribe a ‘constitutional’ homeopathic medicine or remedy, which is made from an infinitesimal and energised dose of an animal, mineral or plant substance. This potentised remedy resonates with the totality of your symptoms and being and acts to stimulate your innate vital force to restore health, harmony, and balance. As a result of this treatment, your energy should improve, and your symptoms should clear from the ‘inside out’. It is also not uncommon to experience a slight intensification of your symptoms within the first week. This is a sign that a healing process has begun, and any discomfort or imbalance should soon pass. Hugh Harrison RCST, RSHom "

"I served 22 years in the Royal Air Force and discovered the benefits of chiropractic after being treated for numerous sporting injuries. I quickly found my passion and transferred my skills to the profession by learning and studying while in service to become a Chiropractor. Since graduating from Mctimoney College of Chiropractic in 2019 I have developed my skills within the healthcare and Chiropractic setting and have been at Watchbell House since 2020. I offer Mctimoney and diversified evidence-based chiropractic, Medical Acupuncture and because of my sporting background, I also offer Sports Massage, Kinesiology taping including sporting injury rehabilitation. Since 2022, I have been fortunate to share my abilities with others and now teach the practical elements of Chiropractic to students at Mctimoney College in Abingdon Oxfordshire, creating the next generation of Chiropractors. I am very proud to be part of Watchbell house, as it sits at the heart of our local community, my primary interest as a Chiropractor, is promoting a holistic approach to health, I really love working with people and my aim is to empower the individual to help achieve personal goals, reduce pain levels, and increase physical mobility promoting physical and mental wellbeing for the person. In my spare time I will be decorating or in the garden, but my sporting passion lies within 2 wheels! In the past I have raced motorcycles, but now the motorbike allows me to tour the great British Isles and Europe. The love of the hobby has allowed me to network and promote the benefits of chiropractic across the UK. "

"Hi, my name is Kevin Haynes and I became a Doctor of chiropractic when I completed my master's degree at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic, Oxfordshire in 2023. I started my career by training as a fitness instructor in 1993 before going on to study sports science. I then worked as a driving instructor for 20 years but continued working in the health and wellbeing industry training as a hypnotherapist, sports massage therapist and Pilates instructor. I now work as a chiropractor at Watchbell House Natural Therapy Centre using both Diversified and McTimoney chiropractic techniques. I am now very highly qualified within the industry and with many years of experience I believe in a multifaceted treatment approach utilising soft tissue work, prescribing stretching and strengthening exercises for rehabilitation as well as chiropractic adjustments hugely benefits the healing and recovery of my patients.

"I'm Leah Hayles. I began my journey at Watchbell House as a receptionist. I then qualified in 2015 in Body Massage with Advanced techniques for Deep tissue work.

"Hello, My name is Martin and I am the director of SmartHealth Chiropractic and chiropractor at Watchbell house. Born and raised on the Island, I’ve been linked with Watchbell since its conception and have worked there since graduating as a chiropractor/Sports therapist in 1997. Following qualification, I taught practical chiropractic technique at the McTimoney College for several years, was an executive committee member for the McT professional association and have latterly done some consultancy/lecturing work within Eastern Europe. Having developed an interest in endurance sports, I’ve historically led teams in setting national endurance records for both indoor and coastal rowing, completed ultra events and more recently survived Wim Hof ‘Ice man’ training. When possible, I still enjoy competing in running races and try to sea swim whenever possible. I have been a member of the Royal College of Chiropractors since its formation and have received a fellowship from the McTimoney Chiropractic association for services to charity and the profession. I consider my approach to chiropractic as holistic and ‘trauma informed’, as we can never divide the physical from the emotional when working with the body. I still work at Watchbell on a Monday, as well as from my West Wight practice for the rest of the week, as I believe it’s important to maintain a central Island location for patients who may struggle to travel further.

"I have been a registered Chiropractor since 2002, practicing at Watchbell House and, since 2017, alongside my colleague Martin at our Freshwater Clinic. With nearly 40 years of clinical experience, including my background as a Paramedic in the NHS, I have held leadership roles in clinical practice, education, governance, and specialist operations. My work across various health and care sectors, including spearheading acute health services redesign, has reinforced my belief that wellness care is most effective when it is individualized, holistic, and continually evolving. My passion is helping patients reach their full physical potential—whether that means relieving pain, maintaining mobility, or enhancing physical performance. I utilize the McTimoney chiropractic method in combination with soft tissue therapy, acupuncture, and other mobilization techniques. My goal is to work closely with each individual, providing education and guidance to help them achieve their personal health and wellness goals. I value a collaborative approach and welcome the opportunity to work with other therapists and care professionals to ensure the best possible outcomes for my patients. "

"Hi I'm Suzanne Bond, with over 40 years experience working in the Healthcare Industry, including working at a Senior Sister level in Intensive Care, I often helped Patients with serious health issues, that may have been prevented, through lifestyle changes. Many of my patients would tell me that there environment & their internal programming kept them stuck in cycles of stress, overwhelm & helplessness, unable to create any lasting or effective change. Frustrated, I left Nursing with the one goal of helping people within the community Transform their lives. After many years of Training in what I believe to be the best methods in the World today, I created a Community Health & Wellness Clinic, I worked closely with Doctors, Health Care Professionals, Social Services & became an accepted supplier to our local NHS providers. Myself & the Clinic won awards! Having a thriving Clinic & seeing over 40 clients a week, soon took its toll. Over COVID lockdown I was diagnosed with 2 separate types of Cancer - Neuroendocrine Cancer & Melanoma & also received a diagnosis of severe Heart failure. After two surgical operations I went on my own journey of Transformation and much to my Cardiac Professor's amazement, I reversed my heart failure!! Looking for a total Life Reset in July 2023, I sold my Clinic & relocated to the Isle of Wight. I continue my Trauma & Transformation work on a more manageable level & work with Adults, Teenagers & Children with PTSD, CPTSD, Anxiety, OCD, Depression, Fears & Phobia's, Addictions, Weight management. We don't need to suffer and the methods I use set people free from the past chains of emotional pain "
