Our Practitioners

Alison Lingwood

Holistic Bodywork

Alison is a Chartered Physiotherapist and teacher and former founder of Physiologic clinic in Hythe which she successfully ran for 25 years. She was always drawn to work with the more difficult health problems including chronic pain, autoimmune conditions and those with undiagnosed symptoms. Since the Western medical model did not always produce the results for some clients, she started to investigate indigenous healing ideas which she now integrates during a session.

Over the years Alison has come to appreciate more fully what it means to heal body, mind and spirit; the expression of our human and divine energies. When we experience trauma of any kind the imprint of the memory can remain within our system and symptoms may be felt. To address this she has created a healing modality called Concentra that brings together all aspects of her work and life experience ; publishing her book Daring to Feel, Awaken the Healer Within in 2021.

Alison’s desire is for everyone to realise the power and innate potential each one of us has to heal all that is not in alignment. To be curious and open to new experiences allows us to change perceptions and beliefs, bringing to the for our often hidden abilities. Alison also works online when she is not available in person.

The powers of healing and of creativity come from source energies around us and inside of us with which we can be in constant communication. All we need is do is to want to and know we have the ability to make theses connections.

Recommendations

“I have known Alison for several years, she is an intuitive, insightful and empathic healer and teacher. Through the simple, but highly effective, Concentra Process she has shown me how to connect with my heart and listen to my true self, to help identify, release and rebalance the stuck energies and beliefs that impact negatively on emotional and physical health.” LR, Ashford 2022

“I felt totally relaxed and a different person to the one who had walked in. It felt as though my body was now starting to run more harmoniously.” Headache Sufferer of 30 Years

“I chose to work with Alison on the recommendation of my rheumatologist. It was an excellent decision. She sometimes uses traditional physiotherapy but she also works hard to teach you the skills to identify and release tension and knots on your own. I don’t always understand what she asks me to do but as long as I follow her guidance, it works and my pain is alleviated. I’ve gone from pain levels that used to wake me at night to days at a time with virtually none. I’ve recently had a session online that was also effective.” LG, Sellindge 2023

“Meeting Suzy has been the most awe inspiring and life changing experience ever. I came to her as a very sick person, struggling with several post covid auto immune illnesses which have been severely impacting my entire quality of life, fatigue, stiffness and muscle weakness being my most crippling conditions. I could barely open my eyes for muscle weakness.

Suzi’s beautiful energy is completely infectious; her knowledge of the body and how our foods impact each body system, is stunning. I am 4 days into the first 4 weeks of my plan and I can honestly say the differences in me, on so many levels, have totally blown me and my family away. For the first time in my life, with Suzi’s ease of explanations, I now understand the science behind what I’m eating and what’s happening, and that means so much to me. I feel this is the start of a long, healthy and quite beautiful relationship with Suzi and I am so completely full of gratitude for her and all that she has taught me through her wisdom, professionalism and her own experiences. I have finally fully accepted and understood my auto immune conditions, how they work, the impact some major stresses have had on my body, and with Suzi’s amazing support I’m now working to completely manage them, live a better life and hopefully one day, to put them into remission.

I would truly recommend anyone to Suzi who wants to heal through the science and medicine of food; or who just wants to live a better life.” Hilary H, Kent

“Nutrition is a complex subject I’ve never really tried to get to grips with but Suzi is so good at explaining everything in a way that anyone can understand and has helped me to realise
quite how closely linked everything within my body is. She has such an enthusiastic, knowledgable and caring approach and you can just tell she’s passionate about what she does. It was an absolute pleasure working with her to devise a plan and I would highly recommend her services to anyone! Thanks so much, Suzi.” Charlotte R, Dover

“Suzi’s natural and authentic approach created a trusting open environment on what can be quite a personal and sensitive health matter. Her ability to apply her knowledge to my situation felt attentive and customised, she really listened to understand my needs.” Nina G, Rhodes Minnis

“Suzi showed patience and empathy during our meetings, her informative and succinct approach made the whole process understandable and manageable, I was truly surprised by the beneficial effects on Suzi’s advice to me.” Anonymous, London
