About | Angela Eckles

Today, after 35 years,my practice is mostly composed of Spinal Touch, Polarity Therapy, Orthobionomy and Cranio Sacral Techniques. I have found these to be the most effective in facilitating the bodys' return to pain- free balance. If the body (physical,mental, emotional and spiritual) is in Balance then Life improves as a whole. Therefore most problems can be addressed by these therapies whatever they may be. So how did I get here?

I was recommended to a Homoeopath for my sons ear, nose and throat problems. At that time there was only one college for lay Homoeopaths and this Practitioner was the Vice-Principal. We talked a lot as I was very interested in the philosophy. I read many books over 2 years and atttended evening study groups. I decided to do the 3-year course. A 4th year became optional so continued. 5th year I ran a student study group. I received my Licentiate of the College in 1984 and successfully built up a substantial client base over 10 years.

In the summer holidays I was looking for some hands-on therapy other than massage which had a rather dubious reputation then. I found Orthobionomy and my life changed again. It was absolutely the right thing for me. Results were amazing from the start and Painless! I felt things happening under my hands. I had to know more. It was as if a whole new vista opened up and synchronistically the next step manifested when I was ready.

1982 I learnt Spinal Touch with Image Briggs, a remarkably energetic lady in her 60's who had learnt it from La Marr Rosquist an American Osteopath. She taught it in the UK for at least 15 years and felt it should be available to all. Later I qualified as a Teacher and taught for several years. I also visited La Marr Rosqist in America and received his Teaching certificate as well.

1996-8 I studied Cranio-sacral Therapy the first course to teach non-osteopaths in the UK. Shortly after, starting the course in Polarity Therapy which brought everything together for me as it is such an all-encompassing system.

Alongside the Bodywork there have been many other seminars and experiences. A Healers course, Iris Diagnosis, Vision Fitness Training, NLP, Silva Mind Control, Intuitive Massage, Visualisation, Reiki and Seichem, Theta DNA Healing,Colour Healing, Crystal Healing and others. They have all contributed to my own life and the way I practice now. There's always something new being promoted but inevitably I find it's the same as the therapies I learnt years ago presented differently.

I'm absolutely, totally enthusiastic about the therapies I use and the results never cease to amaze me. If I can encourage people back to health I'm very happy.
