About Corinne

Complementary Therapist in York

My name is Corinne Brown and I'm a qualified Complementary Therapist working in Gillygate, York and from my practice in Thorganby, York UK. I am fully trained and registered with each of the therapies’ regulating bodies. I am also a member of ‘Embody’ who register professional therapists. These bodies require me to develop my knowledge and skills so I attend several courses each year.

Background and Training Background

I worked as an NHS pharmacy technician for many years, but had for a long time taken an interest in complementary therapies. After having Reflexology myself for stress related health issues and finding how effective it was I decided I would like a change of direction so I trained in Reflexology and became a therapist! As my interest grew, one therapy led to another and then, having pets of my own, I became interested in treating animals. I find it greatly satisfying helping people and animals get well.

Training

Reflexology:
Trained with the British School of Reflexology, qualifying in February 2000. Completed a further two courses tailored for people with Cancer and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). I have experience of working with MS clients as I provide cover for holidays at ‘Woodlands’, the MS respite centre in York. Completed a course in Vertical Reflexology and am an authorised member of the Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT) Network. Completed Advanced Reflexology Techniques course with Tony Porter and am on his register of Advanced Reflexologists .

Qualified in May 2002 with Bowtech. In June 2003 completed a course in Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) - this is an advanced form of Bowen based on Tom Bowen’s later work. In November 2006 completed a course on ‘Fascia Bowen’ aimed at children with special needs, e.g. cerebral palsy, autism, Asperger’s syndrome, dyspraxia etc. October 2008 completed an NST update course on the latest developments, as the technique is continually evolving.
