I have been working at Medicalternative since it opened in March 2003. Previous to becoming a full-time therapist I worked in the pharmaceutical industry. My work has been well documented in both National and Local newspapers and I have people travelling to see me, for appointments, from all over the UK. I am currently Bio-energy advisor to the ICM (Institute of Complementary Medicine) and was recently described by one of my clients in a radio interview as, 'being in the right job'. When I am not at Medicalternative I am busy working on my books hoping that the keys to self-healing that I see work on a daily basis will be available to more people than I am personally able to see. I also teach reiki as a form of self-development.

What is it?
Bio-energy Therapy is a form of energy medicine, which works with the body's energy system in a dynamic way. My role as practitioner is to assess the flow of energy in the bio-field (or aura), locate where the flow may be congested or excessive and then work to bring balance back to the body's energy system. Once energetic balance is restored the body is then better able to restore itself back to health, be it on a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual level.

As Bio-energy Therapy works to restore balance to all aspects of the self, it is a useful option for anybody. I see a wide range of people from those with terminal cancer to those who feel 'out of sorts' and maybe would like to have more energy or improve their performance or happiness levels. Bio-energy Therapy is a safe and effective way to self-heal for all ages and both genders. It does not interfere with orthodox or other forms of complementary medicine so it can be used alone or within a care pathway.

During a session clients stand or lie on a treatment couch, fully clothed. Physical contact between the client and practitioner is minimal. An initial course of 4 sessions is usually recommended. These can occur over 4 consecutive days, 4 weeks or 4 months. Some people may require further sessions. This is always discussed in consultation with the client.

"It seems to me that when there’s a life lesson to be learned 'someone' has a way of making sure you find the right teacher.
I was at a point where I thought I was never going to heal completely and in stepped the universe. Totally unsure of what was in store, but so desperate to get 'well' that I would have done almost anything, I made an appointment with Zoe. It became very clear, very quickly that Zoe was going to teach/guide me but that ALL the answers actually lay within me, it was merely a case of asking the questions and accepting the answers – often not the answers I wanted to hear or acknowledge. But I was never alone, Zoe was there from step one. Zoe truly gives her all. She is never condescending or belittling. Her patience appears limitless and she seems to genuinely care! Most of all- IT WORKS. I was so cynical of Energy Healing and anything of that ilk. Now I am a complete convert and I feel a better person for it.
I have seen so many people that have been clients of Zoe. People from all backgrounds with ailments from general aches and pains to feeling as if they can no longer go on. The difference in them all is tangible. Some appeared to need one or two sessions others (like me) take much longer but with Zoe there's no rush. All her work is done with a smile, a laugh and in a way that feels relaxed and non-threatening.
There are probably a million things I would like to say to Zoe but what sums it all up for me is Thank You Zoe, you're truly unique."

A Note from me
Illness or being 'not quite right' is a sign that on some level we are out of balance. In the world we live in today there are very few truly balanced people. It has taken a long time for one of these people to be me! As a therapist be prepared - I won't 'fix you'. Instead I can provide you with insight and some tried and tested tools so that you participate in fixing yourself. So if you don't like homework then I'm not your girl!

Rebalancing an energy field often can provide people with an opportunity for them to explore who they are, assess what they really want and ask the question, 'Am I happy?' This can truely be some of the most very rewarding work you can ever do. When we create a life that we truly want our energy field rebalances (giving the body the best opportunity for the system to self-heal) quickly and with ease.

Things you can do for yourself now that are simple and highly effective:

• 1. Drink water- almost every physiological process requires it! It gives you more energy and it's readily available.
• 2. Make time for yourself - most people don't! Ask yourself what would I like to do for me and no one else. Making quality space for you is critical.
• 3. Think good thoughts - most people don't. Your thoughts and expectations release chemicals into your body - make them good ones! You can do this by shouting, "Stop!" to the automatic voice of negativity that often pretends to be your best friend but actually is your worst enemy.
• 4. Take up a form of exercise - if exerting yourself seems like hell then try a Hatha Yoga class or take a walk outside.
• 5. If there are outstanding issues or jobs to be done in your current life or from the past, sort them - if it's a filing job that needs done or a relationship that needs healed, get to it! Issues like these can act as taps in our energy field, which effectively drain us and make us more susceptible to negativity. Who wants that?
• 6. Have fun!
