Services
acupuncture
Acupuncture combines five elements and Traditional Chinese Medicine to address health issues at their root. Treatments are gentle with minimal needle sensation. This holistic approach focuses on treating underlying causes rather than symptoms alone while maintaining professional standards.
bach flower remedies
Bach flower remedies provide gentle emotional support through qualified practitioner consultations. This therapy works by addressing emotional imbalances that may contribute to physical health concerns. Our practitioners use this natural approach to complement other treatment methods.
biodynamic craniosacral therapy
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy offers non-invasive treatment using light touch to encourage natural healing. This therapy works with the body's subtle rhythms and nervous system to release tension. It addresses both physical discomfort and emotional stress through gentle, hands-on treatment.
homeopathy
Homeopathy uses natural remedies derived from plants and minerals to stimulate self-healing. Our practitioners address each person's unique needs considering their environmental interactions. This holistic approach activates the body's natural healing capacity through individualised treatment.
reflexology
Reflexology involves detailed stimulation of pressure points to tone organs and boost energy. The treatment works by activating the body's natural healing responses through foot reflexes. This therapy promotes overall wellness and targeted improvements in specific body systems.

The Totnes Natural health Centre is a very welcoming place with skilled and compassionate therapist. The variety of treatments is inspiring, and over the years I have been impressed by their integrity. The treatments are affordable, and the donation system makes it accessible to a very broad range of clients. Highly recommended

I have both given and received sessions at TNHC, and I would like to encourage everyone to take advantage of the enormous range of healing modalities there. The staff are welcoming, and the atmosphere is fun and caring.
