About

Penny

Centre Manager

In 2005 Penny started her own business after many years of working as a therapist in salon, spa and cruise ship environments. Her ambition was to create a place of calm and quiet where the pressures of everyday life can be forgotten. Her passion and knowledge for massage along with her vision for the salon resulted into the development of the Signature range, treatments exclusive the Edge. As the centre has expanded, more therapists are now able to offer a wider variety of treatments ranging from Osteopathy to Psychotherapy.

Alida

Counselling and Psychotherapy

Therapy can enable you to work towards increasing your self-awareness and find the resources to help yourself. You can talk openly about your thoughts, feelings and behaviour in a non-judgmental place. Therapy is at your own pace and in your own time. Alida has experience of working with people from all walks of life and across the age spectrum. A fully qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor, I adhere to all the codes and ethics of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapists (UKCP) and Institute of Transactional Analysis (ITA). I see individuals, couples and offer supervision.

Louise

Osteopath

I originally trained and worked as a massage therapist. I graduated as an Osteopath in 2008 and from September 2008 I worked at the Wotton Osteopathic Practice. I have now decided it is time to establish my own practice and work from both here at The Edge and Church Street Practice in Bradford On Avon . Please see my website at www.louisemeganowen.co.uk. I was drawn to osteopathy because I have experienced in my own life how effective it can be. It has something for everyone. Training to become an Osteopath takes four years full time at university. Learning anatomy, physiology, neural science, clinical examination and diagnosis. As well as learning osteopathy and technique. Before you qualify you spend two years treating real patients during a total of 1000 clinic hours. I treat both structurally and cranially. My structural work consists of massage, and articulation. Relaxing and realigning the muscles and joints. I also do cranial osteopathy which is the treatment of choice for some patients. This is because it is very gentle and relaxing but is equally effective. I tailor treatments to meet my patients’ needs as different people respond better to different treatment approaches. Because Osteopathy is so adaptable, it is suitable for everyone, from the new born to the elderly. I enjoy the challenges that treating such a wide range of patients brings. Treating children and babies is highly rewarding as a little treatment can produce very happy parents.  Treating osteo-arthritis is also highly rewarding as it can make such a difference to peoples quality of life. Because a registered Osteopath is a primary health care giver you do not need your doctor’s permission to have treatment. Louise is available for appointments at The Edge on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
