During an equestrian career producing and competing event horses I qualified as a Level 3 Personal Trainer, followed by a Level 5 Diploma in Clinical Sport and Remedial Massage Therapy at the London School of Sports Massage in 2014. Although I have a sporting background I very much enjoy seeing a variety of patients at Theale Wellbeing Centre for a wide range of treatments from a tension relieving massage, to muscular injury diagnosis, postural alignment issues, to supporting athletes whether amateur or professional through training and or competition.
Outside of work, I am still riding, it has been part of my life since I was very small! Walking my dog and special family time.

Qualifications:

• Level 3 Personal Trainer
• Level 5 Diploma in Clinical Sport and Remedial Massage Therapy

I trained as an osteopath at the University College of Osteopathy in London.  I have developed a particular interest in patients of all ages on the autism spectrum and women’s health problems.

I also have a special interest in musicians and how playing different instruments, voice and posture affect the body.

Additional techniques available within osteopathy include Harmonics technique, Still technique and cranial osteopathy with the Rollin Becker Institute.  These are very gentle forms of treatment suitable for all ages which can be incorporated into osteopathic techniques or treated separately depending on the individual.

I have a background in music, badminton coaching, plays tennis, and am a keen gardener. I have previously worked with dogs, horses and on farms.

Qualifications:

Isabel Oettinger M.Ost Osteopathy

I graduated from the renowned College of Naturopathic medicine and am registered and regulated by the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT) and The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).

I co-founded Optihealth UK 12 years ago offering Food Sensitivity Testing and Nutritional advice. Following 3 more years of evidence-based functional medicine study I expanded Optihealth UK to include Nutritional Therapy.

By looking at your lifestyle, health history, current health challenges I can suggest practical ways to encourage the best possible conditions for you to enjoy a full and healthy life. Whilst my work often focuses on supporting people with IBS and other digestive related issues, low energy and skin disorders many other health issues can be improved through dietary changes and nutritional support.

In my spare time I love running, yoga, playing golf, meeting up with friends and expanding my knowledge of worldwide wines.

Testimonial- Jan 04th, 2019:

Thank you to Cathy and her friendly service at Optihealth for helping my daughter feel so much better. We have been through some very difficult times this year but thankfully since the testing there has been a dramatic change. It is so lovely to see Lily smiling again, there is no more pain and she is back to the happy little girl we once knew. I would definitely recommend Cathy for Food Sensitivity Testing.

Hi, I’m Hayley Duncombe, an experienced nurse and aesthetic specialist with a passion for helping people feel confident in their own skin. I graduated as a nurse in 2006 and began my career in Intensive Care, where I honed my skills in providing exceptional patient care. I later moved into the Pharmaceutical industry as a Clinical Specialist before taking time to focus on my family.

My passion for skin health inspired me to pursue training in Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetic Dermatology, achieving a master’s level qualification. Today, I offer a range of non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to enhance natural beauty and deliver youthful, natural-looking results, also offering a mole/lesion screening and removal service.

My approach is all about helping you get back to looking your best, achieving results that look natural and you feel confident wearing, as I believe the purpose of cosmetic treatment is about empowerment and a sense of well-being.

When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family, leading my Tropic Skincare team, cooking, gardening, socializing, and enjoying musical theatre.

I’d love to welcome you to my clinic at the wellbeing centre and help you take the next step towards feeling your best.
