After my concussion I had 8 weeks of minor but persistent headaches, spells of nausea and dizziness. It was especially severe after exercise. After one session with Gill my symptoms had decreased considerably. After 5 sessions I feel I’m able to complete rigorous exercise with no side effects.

I wish that I found out about Gill earlier!

I suffered a serious assault and had been having concussion symptoms including daily headaches, depression fatigue and generally just not feeling myself. I had been prescribed 3 types of medication, seen head and neck specialists and councillors and nothing was really working for me. After having two consecutive sessions with Gill I woke up two days later feeling amazing and finally felt myself, my normal energy was back not to mention I haven’t had a headache since. Thanks so much Gill !  Elliot Adamson

 

SHATTERED CAREER, CONCUSSION:

After falling on my face I suffered post-concussion trauma – migraine-strength headaches for 10 months. I had exhausted my local treatment options in Rotorua with no relief or improvement. I travelled to Christchurch & received 5 treatments over 3 days from Gill. I felt instant results. The brain fog cleared & for the first time, I was headache -free since my fall….
Gaining clarity & refreshed energy has enabled me to develop a Resilient Women’s program which I now share with women recently released from prison, home-detention &/or community service. Department of Corrections referrals by Probation Officers. This is my dream role, empowering women, after being a full time Employability Co-ordinator for a tertiary institution. Post-concussion trauma shattered my 5-year career. I had resigned from my full-time, permanent employment because my concussion had caused me anxiety attacks & I was overwhelmed by pain & dysfunction.
Much love & appreciation.  Deb Bell

 

After receiving a concussion I was dealing with frequent migraines. A friend recommended Gill. After a few sessions with Gill my migraines were dealt with. I had also been suffering from a loss of turning mobility in my neck. Gill’s techniques returned the mobility in my neck back to normal. This has had a subtle, yet important, positive influence on my daily life. Gill is extremely professional and projects an aura of capability. I would recommend Gill to anyone who is dealing with concussion, migraines or muscle issues.  Associate Professor Adrian Paterson, Lincoln

Concussion, groin injuiry

I started seeing Gill over a year ago for a sports related concussion, her sessions helped my recovery over a number of months and I enjoyed them so much I have continued to regularly have CranioSacral sessions. Since the initial injury, I have had a sprained thumb, trapped nerve in my shoulder and most recently a groin sprain. Each time Gill’s session aided the recovery and offered a lot of relief. In particular, the groin sprain was one of the most painful injuries I have ever had and I went to Gill within 48 hours of the injury. Before the session, I couldn’t sit, walk or sleep with the pain, I was a tearful wreck! One hour session with Gill and a good nights sleep after and I was a new person, the swelling decreased and the pain was gone. Amazing!! The other longer term benefit I have found of regular CranioSacral sessions is that I have not been sick with a cold or flu in the last year, despite almost all of the people in my airconditioned office being ill at one stage and the fact its the first year in a long time that I haven’t had a cold or flu. Prevention is definitely the best medicine. Thanks Gill. Jeanette Fitzsimons

Concussion

I visited Gill several months after getting concussion. I had no energy, was always tired, and always had a headache or pressure in my head. I couldn’t stand bright lights or noise and couldn’t read, watch TV or look at a computer screen. After just two sessions with Gill I noticed a difference – my headaches weren’t daily, and I was managing TV/computer screen time. As the visits progressed, I got back to my usual self. I highly recommend Gill’s technique.

Rose Drummond 

I wanted to tell you that my bad headaches have not presented themselves since our session last week. It has been 18 glorious months since my last headache. This is a wonderful result after just four sessions. I am able to function better at work and can cope more easily with what the day brings.

I visited you a few years ago for help with insomnia and those treatments were also extremely successful. I had experienced chronic insomnia for many years and had been taking strong pain killers to help, but after some considerable time the pain killers ceased to be effective and only resulted in making me drowsy during the day. I want to congratulate you on your expertise in helping me to get my life back.

PERSISTENT HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES

I was referred to Gill by my doctor as a way of dealing with my persistent headaches and migraines. I knew nothing about CranioSacral therapy but was keen to try anything that would mean I wasn’t taking so much medication.  After 6 treatments I am not completely headache free but am not having as many headaches and the neck pain I often experience has improved significantly.

HORSE FALLS

I came to Gill with pressure feelings in my head after a fall from my horse.  I had a series of six treatments over several months.  I noticed a change in the feelings in my head after the first treatment, and it steadily improved over the next treatments.  I no longer have any pressure feelings in my head, though I do have some tension still, I feel very much better.  I noticed my balance improved, my jaw and neck felt looser and generally I felt more well.

HEADACHES 24/7 2 MONTHS

Hello there lovely Gill,  I haven’t been back because my headaches and migraines have all gone and I’m doing very well all thanks to my lovely doctor and YOU 🙂 I do thank you very much for everything you have helped me with and all your understanding.  Keep up the good work you are doing gill.  All the best. 

Cheers from Sam Purver🙂

I came to see Gill for treatment of my ongoing headaches I had experienced for most of my teenage and adult life which seemed to worsen with pregnancy.  Within 3 sessions they had completely subsided and I no longer had to rely on medication or constant trips to the physio for relief. Really pleased with the result.  I would really recommend cranio to anyone experiencing ongoing pain and headaches. 

Thanks Rachel Smith

I first went to see Gill during a really bad period of cluster migraines.  Over the first few weeks of treatment I got on top of these and thankfully have not had any similar episodes. I still get the ocassional headaches associated with my period but they are a lot more manageable.

HEADACHES- referred by an ear, nose and throat specialist:

I saw Gill to help with daily Headaches.  After my second appointment, they have completely stopped.  It has changed so much for me with my daily life and sleep.  It has now been many months without a single headache.  Regards,

35+ YEARS OF HEADACHES:

I had suffered from headaches 4 x per week for 35+ years.  I sought help from Gill after a particularly bad month when I had headaches every day for 3 weeks. My dentist had given me a mouthguard but that hadn’t helped.  Painkillers usually didn’t help.  After I had completed the first group of sessions my headaches have subsided and I feel SO much better.  I totally recommend Gill!

PERSISTENT HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES

“I have suffered from migraines for most of my life. In the last 20 years or so I was getting headaches at least once a week which could be controlled most of the time with medication. The headaches and migraines were becoming problematical as I am a private consultant and can’t take sick leave easily. Last year I suffered three migraines which were very debilitating. After several treatments with Gill I haven’t had a migraine for nearly a year and what headaches I have now are very mild and infrequent. For headache and migraine sufferers, I wish to highly recommend Gill and her treatment”.  Kind regards,  

Susan  Reynolds

After that session I felt a dramatic improvement and after 3 sessions was feeling great – better than ‘normal’!!   I have had a sickness free winter, not even a cold with none of my original symptoms recurring, and I will continue to visit Gill for maintenance every 3 months.

Jaw Pain

Hello Gill

Thank you for your treatments which helped to cure my tooth ache/jaw pain.

I do not enjoy dental treatments as I usually take some time to recover from the nerve pain, but now I will be coming directly to you for some Cranio treatment.

Sore Neck

I had been suffering with a sore neck for about 18 months before I came to see Gill. At times I’d had shooting pains going up my neck which made me call out in pain. It hurt to turn my neck very far in any direction and my neck went out most nights while sleeping. I’d had months of physiotherapy which improved it a little. I’d also had two or three other types of treatment which had improved it a little. When I came to see Gill I will admit that the first two or three sessions made no noticeable difference. I was however determined to stick with it and allow time for it to work. I’m pleased I did because now I am pain free in my neck and have the full range of movement back. Thank you Gill, the CranioSacral Therapy really worked.

Neck and Shoulders

Thank you for the Cranio treatment. I cannot believe how relaxed my neck and shoulders feel. After the first treatment, they were more relaxed than I can ever remember them being. Having had the second treatment I feel very at peace – given how things are here in Christchurch right now, that’s amazing!

Neck and back

After seeing a significant change in my husband after his visits with Gill to help him with his sleeping patters, I went to Gill to try and relieve the tension and pain in my neck and back. After seeing Gill I have had no pain in my neck and my back it significantly better. I have more movement in my back and neck and very little pain now. Thank you Gill, for relieving years of pain and tension.

Neck pain and headaches

I have suffered neck pain and nagging headaches for many years. I have tried just about everything to fix the pain but relief has only ever been temporary.   

When I first went to see Gill, I was very sceptical but was open to giving it a try. During my third session, the pain and pressure suddenly lifted. It felt like a huge weight had come off my shoulders, neck and head. I have been pain-free ever since.   

I would recommend Gill to anyone suffering from pain and only wish I had found out about Gill years ago.

Unbreable pain

I really can’t recommend Gill Redden enough! After being diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia at 36 years old, life was quickly going downhill. When the bouts of pain occurred it was unbearable, I would spend the time in tears on my hands and knees until the pain stopped. Sometimes this could last up to two hours. The condition was ruining my life, I didn’t enjoy any of the things I had in the past such as spending time with my friends, walking on a sunny day or being in the garden, cold wind became my worst enemy. I was on very high doses of medication which made me incredibly tired impacting further on my wellbeing and these didn’t get rid of the pain completely either! I felt like a zombie, I couldn’t think properly or function as I did normally. 
I was working in a high stress job and becoming depressed and utterly exhausted. After making the decision to take a month of leave to try and get on top of my pain, in sheer desperation I trawled the internet looking for something that might help me. I stumbled across Gill’s name and emailed her. Gill phoned me the next morning and I saw her the following day. My first session was incredible, I found Gill’s manner very calming and the instant relief from the pain was incredible. 
For the first time in months I felt relaxed. I continued to see Gill for a few weeks twice a week and things continued to improve, the pain became nonexistent. I see a trip to Gill as a much needed investment for my body. Even if you don’t have any conditions you are aware of it’s the perfect way to maintain our health that we often take for granted. It’s a valuable lesson I have learnt! 
Don’t hesitate to see Gill – It’s more than worth it.

Refered Pain

To let you know that I think the treatment on Tuesday did me the power of good. There is hardly any pain in the buttocks now and the daggers in my legs are not as sharp nor as frequent. The pain is concentrated more in the lower back where I think the fractures are and it’s more like a stiffness. Thanks a million.

Stabbing Eye Pain

Hi Gill. I was referred to you by my eye specialist. My eye pain levels are way down. Just a throb every now and then instead of a pneumatic drill. Still taking anti inflammatories daily! Your treatment helped. Giving up gluten has also made a big difference.  

Mandy 

(Mandy is not from Christchurch so I only treated her 4 times in quick succession).

After my concussion I had 8 weeks of minor but persistent headaches, spells of nausea and dizziness. It was especially severe after exercise. After one session with Gill my symptoms had decreased considerably. After 5 sessions I feel I’m able to complete rigorous exercise with no side effects.

I wish that I found out about Gill earlier!

NO VERTIGO!

I have recently been to see Gill Redden, mainly for help with migraines but after the first session I quickly realised that I have not had one dizzy spell. I have been getting these attacks constantly for the past year, due to a benign tumour in my right inner ear.  

Three months later they still have not returned. I was unable to lift my eyes upward or bend down without falling over. Currently I am whitebaiting in South Westland and up and down the river bank easily –  though not much whitebait. 

I will still pursue the migraine treatment but am thrilled with the current results.  

Thanks, Jill Goom

VERTIGO

I initially saw Gill as was experiencing an acute onset of vertigo (felt like I was on a boat) after travelling overseas. It was awful, 24/7 I felt nauseated, off balance, couldn’t concentrate and was extremely tired. I saw Gill 5 times over a 2 week period and was over the moon to have the vertigo lessen after each visit and disappear 99% after 5 treatments. The ENT specialist didn’t give me any hope at all. I will be forever grateful that I sought her help. I will definitely be returning for future “maintenance” visits! 

Cheers Deb Schafer

I have a history of neck issues which started after a series of ‘whiplash’ events. I was experiencing random, short, dizzy ‘episodes’ where pressure would build around my neck before experiencing a rush of ‘pressure’ across my head. After a few seconds things would return to normal. As these ‘episodes’ were becoming more frequent, i made an appointment with the GP.  He referred me to Gill.  I had 6 sessions with Gill before I really noticed an improvement and haven’t had an episode since. A big relief!  

Rachel  Geddes

I had vertigo for over 10 years. I had tried the Epley Manoeuvre from an ENT doctor, the Brandt-Daroff exercise from another doctor and anti-nausea medication from my GP. Nothing made any difference. Gill’s gentle hands worked on me for 6x 1 hour sessions. Gradually the vertigo got less and less, both in strength and length until it disappeared completely. THANK YOU, GILL. Jane Kerr

 Just wanted to let you know that I have not had a migraine since having the cranio treatment.  Given that periods of lack of sleep usually brought one on, this is amazing because the earthquakes have had meant I’ve had little sleep at times and when I have slept it’s been interrupted or not of the best quality.  In the past I would have had a blinder of a migraine!  Cranio sacral therapy has been a blessing.  Thank, you Gill!

Thank you for the Cranio treatment.  I cannot believe how relaxed my neck and shoulders feel.  After the first treatment they were more relaxed than I can ever remember them being.  Having had the second treatment I feel very at peace – given how things are here in Christchurch right now, that’s amazing!

MIGRAINES & MEDICATION 10 YEARS

I’ve been seeing Gill for 8 wks now. Why ???…. I was getting headaches for about 5 days out of 7, some just annoying, some very painful and once or twice a week it would explode into a full blown migraine. 

Over the years I found I was taking more and more medication, ended up taking 6 -8 panadol, 4-6 Ibuprofen just to get through the day by the time I meet Gill. For the migraines I was given Maxalt Melt to take.

I was also given Anti-depressants to try, beta blockers and muscle relaxants at different times as well. 

After the first visit with Gill I walked out feeling very sceptical thinking this isn’t going to work, she didn’t do anything.

But, after putting up with my headaches and migraines for near on 10 yrs I was prepared to give anything a go more than once.

That night I had a migraine but the next day the usual hangover was minor.

I stopped taking ALL medication that same week and after the 3 visits over 3 weeks I was not getting the daily headaches.

In the last 5 weeks I’ve had 1 migraine and a couple of what I would call minor headaches that were annoying at the time but didn’t last long.

I still don’t know how it works exactly, but what Gill does is working for me.

Eight weeks: NO PILLS, NO DAILY headaches.   

The last five weeks: 2 headaches,1migraine and becoming fewer and fewer as each week goes by…….

Thanks Gill, I’ve got my life back.  

Cheers  George

After having migraines for 11 years I decided to try a different approach to them and went to see Gill on the advice of my daughters partner.  I have been having cranio now for a year and have found it to be very beneficial. It is great to go weeks without a headache.  I diligently try and do my “fingers” every day as well.  Her sessions are always very peaceful and relaxing.  The hour goes by much too quickly!  Thanks Gill.

I am happy to report that both the frequency and intensity of migraines has decreased markedly since the treatments I had with you. The feeling of ‘fullness and tightness” I had in my sinuses on the right side is far less now and I feel the treatment has indeed made quite a difference to me.

Kind Regards

I came to Gill for help with my migraines when they started becoming more frequent, and the medication I was taking when one came on wasn’t always effective in treating them. I was fed up and it was making work very difficult!

After a few sessions I began to notice a difference- the migraines and headaches became less frequent, and they also responded more quickly when I did take medication/painkillers to stop them.

All in all I felt like I got them back under control.

Gill also has a lot of other advice which can help headaches and migraines and I recommend seeing her if you are sick of living with them! Thanks, 

Emily Sharpe

 The difference I felt after each treatment with Gill Redden is remarkable. When I first came to see Gill I was only doing half days at work (afternoon’s doing office and computer work) and my migraines were averaging between 7 and 8 out of 10 in intensity and occurring in the early hours of every morning. Since I have started treatments I have been able to work between 6 and 7 hours most days with a headache intensity of around 3 -5 out of 10. After every session of treatment where Gill has worked on the bones in my head, the position of the pain has shifted around in my head dramatically. Thanks heaps Gill! (Treatments still continuing)

I was fortunate to hear about Gill from a friend who had experienced a good result when no one else could help. I had experienced a number of earthquake related injuries including a serious whiplash injury, which contributed to daily migraine headaches. I sought help from my Physiotherapy colleagues but my symptoms were so severe, I couldn’t tolerate any form of treatment. The combination of chronic pain and my poor tolerance to drug therapy interfered with my ability to work. I was working part-time, then spending the rest of the day zonked out on medication. I found it difficult to enjoy my previous leisure activities which included walking, gardening and sewing and I had given up my gym workouts.

I retired from work in March 2013 and started treatment with Gill soon afterwards. Her treatments were incredibly gentle and after a few sessions she was able to treat my head and neck without causing pain. I did not get immediate relief of my symptoms and had 10 treatments in total. I found the sessions very relaxing and over the course of my treatment Gill taught me techniques to prevent/treat symptoms myself and also recommended a course of supplements which I believe also helped in my recovery.

As a result of Gill’s intervention, I have been able to augment my recovery with physiotherapy and decrease my reliance on medication over the past 6 months. I still get headaches and some migraines but I am able to manage them with a combination of specific stretches, Gill’s exercises and medication. However, I once again lead a very full and active life, including 3-4 gym sessions a week and have shed 8kgs along the way! Thank you Gill.

I first went to see Gill at the recommendation of my boss. I was having cluster migraines every 2-3 weeks, and sometimes getting 2-3 in one day.

Having tried all options (medication, CTScan, cutting out certain foods) I went to see Gill. Gill worked on my whole body, not just my head, finding out where my body held all its tension – many places that I hadn’t even known were stressed. 
That very first session I walked out of there feeling wonderful and free.
For 7 months I was migraine– free and grateful to Gill for enabling me to live my life again. I then started getting them again so had 1 more treatment. Nil migraines again.

MIGRAINES AT LEAST WEEKLY FOR 24 YEARS, SINCE A BIG CAR ACCIDENT.

Hi I’m Janice I had a horrific car accident and not long after the accident I started to get migraines. As the years progressed I was getting one, sometimes two migraines a week. Several times I ended up going to hospital by ambulance if I couldn’t get the migraine under control.

Gill made me feel very comfortable and has the most amazing soothing voice. I could really feel a movement not only in my head but through the rest of my body as well.

After having about 8 appointments I’m very, very happy to report that for over 3 months now I have been migraine free. Thank you Gill you have a special gift. Janice Geerlofs

Gill saw me after I had a couple of concussions playing rugby and I was struggling to get better. She was very helpful and her techniques certainly help with my healing. Slightly different and not mainstream Gills ability to help me relax and move fluid around my body as well as help adjust my neck and head muscles was very good.  I would recommend her to anyone having on going issues.

 40 YEARS MIGRAINES

I have suffered from terrible migraines since I was 15, so that is for over 40 years now.  Regular as clockwork I would get a migraine on a Friday just in time for the weekend and was also suffering from awful headaches during the week.  Putting it all down to stress with work, busy home life,  etc., the only remedy I ever sought was medication from my GP.   After having 8 or 9 sessions with Gill I can now say that my headaches during the week have diminished considerably.  If I do get a migraine it is easily treatable and the pain is so much less than before.  For me, this has been a great success.

 40 YEARS MIGRAINES

After over 4 decades of migraines I decided that I needed to take another course of action to treat them rather than resorting to constant migraine medication. The difference I have experienced in my health since coming to Gill for treatment has been amazing and I have not had a migraine for almost 6 months now – a miracle in itself!

31 YEARS MIGRAINES

Hi Gill, I have waited a while to write to you as I wanted to make really sure! However other than one migraine I have actually been pretty well free of them since I saw you. The occasional not feeling quite so good but certainly not a headache so I am really thrilled. Thank you very much for doing such a good job with me! Thanks so much and keep up the good work! Cheers

31 YEARS MIGRAINES

After attending various sessions with you, also in conjunction with getting my eyes tested and obtaining contacts and also reducing the use of work computers equipment, I have now been free from migraines for 10 months, which is incredible as I have been plagued by constant headaches and migraines for 31 years. I believe the combination of cranio, eye check and reduction of computers have all contributed to this.

20+ YEARS MIGRAINES

I had suffered migraines for 25 years and had tried much medication. My migraines were 2 per month and even the injections couldn’t keep them away. After my 1st session with Gill I noticed that my migraines started becoming less frequent. After about 4 sessions I realized it had been 3 months, then 6 months without a migraine. Gill had recommended changing my diet. This change plus Craniosacral therapy with Gill really seemed to work. I recommend giving Gill a try especially if nothing else seems to be working. Many thanks Gill. Yvonne Hawtin
(updated after 18 months: stress, lack of sleep and eating poorly might bring a migraine on, so she does Gill’s finger exercises, relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises and the blood type diet to get back on track again).

10 YEARS MIGRAINES

After years of infrequent, but totally debilitating migraines, I booked an appointment with Gill.  My scepticism was overcome after the first two appointments and a subsequent absence of migraines for three months! Since then I have had regular appointments at about ten weekly intervals and these keep the migraines at bay.  I no longer live in dread of the next migraine which is a wonderful freedom. Gill is passionate about her work,  yet appealingly, allows the results to speak for themselves.

2016 started out as the worst migraine year I’ve had in a long, long while.  They were more frequent, more severe and lasted longer than ever before.  A family friend recommended Gill after she had had success with migraine treatment herself.  Gill was very friendly and spent a lot of time in the first session talking about home techniques and how she worked, before she actually started the first treatment. Despite this, I left the first appointment, completely unable to explain to anyone what the appointment was all about or what Gill did. What I do know was that Gill suggested 5 treatments and so (after a little coercion from people at home) I went for the initial 5 treatments.  I figured it might just pay off and besides I had nothing to lose. Each session was pretty similar to the first, the only difference was, I didn’t (and still haven’t) had a migraine since the first treatment (14 months ago).  I truly was a cynic, but I was wrong, and Gill’s treatments really do work, I am completely converted.  I 100% recommend Gill to anyone that has experienced migraines. She really has changed my life.  I can’t imagine how many migraines she has saved me from.

20 YEARS MIGRAINES

“I had been experiencing bad headaches and migraines for years. They would last for a week or 2 when they occurred and would affect my everyday life. Since seeing Gill Redden I have only experienced a couple of very minor headaches and soon as I felt them coming on I used the exercises that Gill taught me and they went away. One very happy client”.

PERSISTENT HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES

I suffered constant headaches for a number of years, also migraines for the last 20 years. The migraines started after I had my first child. I did not know much about CranioSacral therapy but I was very keen to try anything that would ease my headaches. I was also taking excessive amounts of medication. After treatments my headaches and migraines are pretty much gone. They are now few and far between.

Kind regards. Wendy Evans

Since I was six years old, I have been suffering from debilitating migraines and headaches. These constantly disrupted my life preventing me from doing so much.  All I could do was sleep while trying to block out light and noise until I felt better sometimes this would take days. I did everything the doctor’s recommended, not eating certain foods, trying different medications and many other suggestions to no avail. In the end I thought this was something I’d just had to live with until I found Gill. She has changed my life so much for the better. I wish I’d met her sooner. My advice – don’t wait. Don’t hesitate. Go see Gill.

20+ YEARS MIGRAINES

I am a fit and healthy, non-smoking 35 year old who looks after himself, eats well and goes to the gym.  I am never off sick from work so you can imagine how frustrating these migraine attacks are when they strike so often and completely without warning.

I have suffered from migraines for most of my life. The first one when I was about 10 years old. For the past few years I have had a cluster of migraines every 3 to 4 months. These would occur for 7-10 days and could include up to 6 severe migraines. I have tried all medication available and nothing has made any difference. There was no relationship with food or lifestyle factors. As the migraines could strike at any time I carried strong pain killers with me. On the onset of a migraine I would have to take pain killers within seconds of a symptom. In doing so I limited the periods of blurred vision, nausea and a horrible dull ache that might last for hours. If I didn’t take the pain killers straight away that pain became almost unbearable and was completely debilitating. The last time I had a migraine I ended up being taken to hospital with stroke like symptoms which was incredibly scary for my wife and family.

Cranio has made a huge difference to my life. Not having migraines is something I am extremely grateful for as I had pretty much come to accept them as a part of life.  Thanks Gill!  Alex Watson

 “I have suffered from Migraine with aura since I was 3. It has been an absolute struggle throughout my life leading to depression and anxiety. At the end of last year the migraines were more aggressive and happening more often. I was put on many medications Nothing worked. This had me constantly on edge and carrying medication in my pocket waiting for the next attack. I then had a 53Hr migraine. My children and partner were close to calling the hospital. Gill has been nothing short of a miracle for me. From the first time I saw her I instantly felt the difference and I have not had a migraine since that day. I am celebrating 3 months migraine and medication free! My family never thought we would see such amazing results. I really could not be more thankful.”

 Since I was 7 years old I have been a migraine sufferer.  When I was 17 I developed Cluster Migraines and then until 2 years ago my migraines were ever present.  I would lose my sight, vomit occasionally and then be left with a thumping pain over my right eye and the next day couldn’t put my head down without the room swimming like a bad hangover!….life was pretty miserable at that point.  Since the first treatment with Gill I have only had one mild migraine.  I have been migraine free now for 18 months.  Life has changed.  I have gone off the Beta Blockers which has stopped me having low blood pressure which has helped my memory and weight loss.  If you suffer from Migraines, get yourself to Gill……it changed my life and I hope it does yours.

 Gill treated my migraine headaches with Cranio Sacral Therapy for approximately six sessions over a period of several weeks 2 years ago. The treatments were very effective and I have suffered relatively few migraines, or significantly less, since then. Although I still suffer from migraines with both chocolate and pre-menstrual syndrome as triggers, Gill’s treatment has definitely brought a lot of relief. Kind regards.

Hi Gill, Just a quick note to let you know I have only one bad migraine since I saw you 11 months ago, and that was the first week I started a new job. I have had a couple of sinus headaches, but nothing severe. 

Regards, Adair Quaife

I discovered Gill after a period of severe illness and she had me mobile again after a short period of treatment. 
Of course I was sceptical, but her treatment worked. My only regret is I didn’t discover her earlier.

low blood pressure, dizziness, feeling absolutely lousy and no-one knowing why.

My chronic morning sickness virtually disappeared after one session with Gill.

MORNING SICKNESS

I have to say that I was a sceptic and didn’t feel that CranioSacral therapy would work for me BUT it did! I had been feeling sick for 7 months and since visiting you once, I have genuinely felt much much better with little sickness and I also had more energy –  I would definitely recommend your services to anyone suffering pregnancy related sickness and I will be back after the baby is born for you to work on my migraines!
Thanks again Gill!

MIGRAINES, REFLUX

I came to Gill for my migraines.  After the 1st and 2nd session, though, I noticed with surprise and delight that my indigestion had subsided substantially.
