About us

Our philosophy here at the Awareness Centre is to provide a safe and confidential environment for individuals, groups and couples to explore all aspects of their well being so they can heal and achieve their full potential in a holistic balanced manner.  Natural holistic health is a way of treating the whole person, incorporating the physical, psychological, emotional, social, nutritional and spiritual self.

We have developed our centre over the past two years and have divided our services into departments and clinics so that our support can be delivered within a more structured environment. 

If you are interested in any of our therapies here at the centre then please contact us and one of our receptionist’s will be able to book you an appointment to see one of our practitioners.   However if you would like to speak to a practitioner direct then we can arrange a phone conference or a meeting at the centre.  All our practitioners are qualified, registered and fully insured. We have a variety of therapies and we are sure that you will be able to find someone to support your needs.
