Report
I have known Denise for about 4 years now from her previous practice in North London, she has always been very attentive to any issue one has and is very reasuring. She specialises in Crainal osteopathy and although its seem as a treatment for infants post birth, I have had cranial ostopathy for sinus issues and its really helped. I cannot but recomend Denise, she maybe in another location of the country but she is still a great osteopath.
