Welcome to A Balanced Life, the web site of Balance Therapies.
Please note: we have now moved to our new premises, which is gorgeous on Matlock Road in Bakewell. We'll be there Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays and the last Saturday of every month. Unfortunately however, will not be able to offer acupuncture until Derbyshire Dales District Council has issued the appropriate license. Home visits for all other therapies are available by appointment as usual.
Balance Therapies is a partnership between Gwen Salmon and Mat Messom, both highly qualified practitioners in their chosen field. We are available for home visits in the Derbyshire Dales and High Peak areas.
We hope you will enjoy browsing this site and finding out about Holistic Therapies, including the ancient art of Acupuncture. We will do our best to explain what they are about and how they can help you.
Why choose Holistic Therapies?
Holistic medicine is a term used to describe therapies that treat the patient as a whole person, i.e. instead of treating an illness, as in orthodox medicine, holistic medicine looks at an individual’s overall physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being before recommending treatment.
This is because the body’s systems are seen as interdependent parts of the whole. It’s natural state is one of health, dis-ease being an imbalance of this state.
Generally, if we are content with ourselves and have a good outlook on life, we feel well. This being the case, our treatment strategy is not only to treat the underlying cause of the presented symptom, but also to address emotional and life issues in an attempt to improve the quality of life at all levels, there by preventing a reoccurrence of the illness.
