Vital Health Retreat 2026

Birgit is a qualified physiotherapist who has studied Ho-He therapy training with Ruth Schwarz and is a certified Matrix-Inform® Coach. The Ho-He treatment combines elements from kinesiology, chiropractic and cranio-sacral methods. The combination of these techniques is ideal to gently release blocks, tension and torsion patterns from the body. This brings the body back to its centre, so that more energy becomes available to us. Old patterns are released to make space for change.

Clive is a shiatsu practitioner with more than thirty years experience, and ten years of teaching experience at the British School of Shiatsu in London.

His gentle, intuitive approach helps clients to reach a deep state of balance, peace and relaxation in which the body’s self-healing capacities can unfold freely.

Shiatsu is practised on a comfortable futon on the floor, and the client remains fully clothed. It is based on similar principles as acupuncture, working with meridian energy lines and pressure points. Shiatsu is not only a deeply relaxing holistic therapy but also particularly beneficial to address neck, shoulder and back pain.

My interest in the workings of the mind began after a personal wake-up call in my early 40's. I found myself feeling ungrounded with life. This led me to attend a transformative three-day psychology workshop, where I discovered a deep curiosity about my own mental state. This experience sparked my passion for personal growth and ultimately guided me toward helping others on their healing journeys. I am a BACP accredited Integrative Counsellor and have been a certified Havening Practitioner since 2019, helping clients experience positive change in a short time. By lightly stroking the arms, hands, and face, the technique has the ability to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. Havening erases the emotional content of upsetting negative life events and troubling ways of thinking that may have been impacting you for years, bringing relief, a sense of lightness, and the feeling of letting go of past negative events and subsequent beliefs. vichttps://victoriadickensontherapies.co.uk/
