Our Therapists

Alison Peake
THERAPIST
In 2015 I had a life changing Spinal Cord Injury, resulting in emergency surgery and rehab at the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Following that I spent a couple of years in a ‘morphine fog’ taking endless prescription drugs even though they didn’t stop my constant pain. I had Kinesiology treatment and it blew my mind as to how it worked, I thought that it must be some kind of magic.
After a few years of having treatments, I signed up to the Foundation Course. I knew nothing about being a therapist and I wasn’t interested in being one as I was doing it purely for my own benefit. On completion I had the bug for learning more. Soon I had qualifications in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, First Aid, Nutrition and signed up for the Practitioner Diploma. The practical exam was the most terrifying thing that I’d done for years.
I still have the bug for learning different modalities and I have gone from being totally devastated by my Spinal Cord Injury to being able to accept it, mostly. I remain in constant pain; my walking and balance aren’t great and I get incredibly tired but I have regular Kinesiology treatments and I haven’t taken prescription painkillers for many years 😊

Jose Heroys
THERAPIST
I am an experienced Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist based in Haywards Heath.
Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is a gentle hands-on therapy, that works with the body’s natural ability to restore and heal itself, as well as reduce stress and build underlying energy. Using light touch, I listen to the body as a whole, helping it to shift into a deep healing state, where it can safely process and naturally release held patterns of tension or pain.
The approach is very gentle, making it suitable for everyone. As it works with the whole person, changes can happen at the physical, emotional and spiritual level.
If you'd like to know more, I offer a free 20 minute phone or Zoom consultation, so you can find out if it is suitable for you.
Therapy Offerings
• Biodynamic craniosacral therapy

Sara-Amy Smith
THERAPIST
Hello, I’m Sara, and I’m a hypnotherapist, Spirit Doctor Team Healing practitioner, and yoga teacher.
We live our lives through the filters of our experiences and mindset. Subsequently we act out old, subconscious patterns creating the same outcomes or hold onto past experiences in our energetic and emotional body.
My approach is to focus and provide support for both the mind and energetical body to support you in creating the change you wish to see both within and outside of yourself. Through our work together we will build on empowerment, create a positive mindset, experience transformation where you desire, leaving you equipped with the tools to continue your personal journey.
Having travelled the world and lived with different cultures, I have been on a spiritual and self-developmental journey for years and have come to learn and practice in modalities that supported my growth and life transitions.
I work 1:1, group sessions and online.
Therapy Offerings
• Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
• Spirit Doctor Team Healing

Karen Neeson
THERAPIST
I’m Karen Neeson the founder of Omara Hypnotherapy.
I am delighted to tell you I will now be offering 1-2-1 and group sessions out of The Simon Wellbeing Centre.
Hypnotherapy can help you pause and assess what you need for your happiness, it’s when your mind drifts and dreams, allowing you to make the right decisions for you and those who are important to you.
It is brain training and rewiring through hypnosis, getting you out of your head and into your awareness.
I specialise in supporting clients with stress and anxiety, as well as weight loss. I work with each and every one of my clients in a unique way, adapting and changing my programmes to provide them with their own personalised tool box of techniques, so they can build their self esteem and confidence, to feel focused and at ease.
Building a trust that allows them to set out clear goals to help improve their lives. Omara is a comfortable, non judgemental space. I work in person, in my therapy rooms in both Burgess Hill and now Ardingly or online- whichever you prefer.
Initial consultations are free of charge, so we can establish if I'm the best therapist for your needs.
Therapy Offerings
• Psychotherapy
• Solution Focused Hypnotherapy
