Integrative Healing – Trauma-Informed Care
The compassionate, neuroscience-based path to recovery and self-trust.
A New Way Forward
If you’ve found that hands-on therapies like osteopathy, chiropractic care, massage, or physiotherapy bring only temporary relief, it might be time to explore something deeper. Integrative Healing combines gentle, neuroscience-based mind–body therapies with compassion and understanding to help you move beyond short-term relief and create lasting change. This approach is for those living with the effects of stress, trauma, or chronic pain who are ready to move from coping to truly healing.
Please note: Integrative Healing and trauma-informed sessions are offered exclusively by Dr Alison Simmons.
About Alison
With a medical honours degree in Osteopathy and over 20 years as a registered practitioner, Alison brings deep clinical experience to her work. During her training, she received the Professional Capability Award, presented by HRH Princess Anne, recognising exceptional empathy and integrity in patient care.
Having also walked her own path through early trauma, Alison understands the burden of silence that so often comes with it — the shame, self-blame, and quiet shrinking that make people feel unseen and unworthy. Many carry their pain privately for years, believing they have to hold it all together. Alison knows that healing begins the moment you feel truly safe to be seen and heard — when kindness replaces judgement, and your story can finally breathe. Her work is grounded in creating that safety, so you can begin releasing what’s been held inside for far too long.
Her practice is guided by lived experience, kindness, and a pay-it-forward philosophy — sharing the wisdom gained from her own healing journey to help others find freedom more quickly than she once could. She believes that charging fairly for her time allows her to offer the highest standard of care, ensuring her work remains sustainable and deeply present for every client. Nothing you share will shock her — your story will always be met with warmth, safety, and respect.
How Integrative Healing Works
These sessions gently calm the nervous system and help the body and mind release protective patterns created by trauma. Each appointment blends approaches that best suit you on the day: sometimes hands-on osteopathic support for realignment, sometimes gentle, neuroscience-based touch or talk work for emotional release.
Havening Techniques®
A soothing, neuroscience-based method that uses gentle touch to help the brain de-link distress from memory and create a lasting sense of calm. Renowned therapist Paul McKenna is a passionate advocate of Havening, recognising its power to help people overcome anxiety, trauma, and self-doubt.

Paul McKenna Demonstration
An actual session is much more than a demonstration — it’s a process of gentle unravelling, like peeling back layers of an onion. As each issue resolves, space opens for deeper healing to emerge.
OldPain2Go®
A simple but effective mind–body process that helps the brain switch off outdated pain messages that no longer serve a purpose. By addressing the subconscious reasons pain persists, it often brings surprising and lasting relief.

Sound Therapy
Subtle vibrational work to restore balance and coherence throughout the nervous system — especially helpful when the body has been ‘on alert’ for too long.
What to Expect
Your healing begins with an Initial Holistic & Trauma-Informed Consultation (two sessions). Alison will explore your medical and emotional history, perform a gentle physical assessment, and begin treatment to address both immediate and underlying concerns. From there, sessions progress at your pace — whether focusing on physical pain, emotional regulation, or deeper integration of body and mind.
Why Kindness Matters
True healing starts with safety and compassion. Kindness allows the nervous system to relax, the body to release, and self-worth to rebuild. Every session is grounded in the belief that years of trauma do not have to take years to heal when the right conditions of understanding and empathy are present.
