Modern life inevitably has its ups and downs. For much of the time we cope very well, but at some point in many people’s lives, things can get tough. You may be facing a change in your circumstances or need to make an important decision. You may simply be aware that life has lost its joy or you are not feeling as energetic as you’d like to. And these life situations can be accompanied by feelings of stress, anxiety, low self esteem and motivation.

If you'd like to turn your life around, then let Frances Taylor, our resident wellbeing practitioner and coach, support you and discover how it feels to maximise your emotional and physical wellbeing.

Frances specialises in providing wellbeing support and coaching to individuals and runs her own company, brightspark, a specialist provider of wellbeing training to businesses and organisations. Frances offers the following services at the Buxton Osteopathy Clinic:

Coaching is a highly focussed way of working on aspects of your life that you would like to change or develop. Many people and professions now recognise the benefits of using a coach to provide an independent source of support and expertise to meet life’s challenges.

As a coach, Frances’ passion is to provide you with the opportunity to gain new insights, awareness and skills so that at the end of the coaching sessions you are able to move forward sure footedly in life. Areas that Frances’ clients may typically choose to focus on include:

• managing work-related or personal stress and anxiety
• managing the end of a long-term relationship
• improving self esteem and confidence
• planning for retirement

Frances combines a range of approaches to ensure that your sessions are engaging, practical and high value. She works to support both your emotional and physical health and the tools that you learn will stay with you for life.

Frances offers therapeutic massage drawing particularly on a form called biodynamic massage.
Biodynamic massage focuses on helping clients to achieve a better balance in life by safely releasing the tensions held in our minds and bodies. The massage is highly relaxing and is particularly suitable for people who may be experiencing

• migraine and digestive disorders
• sleeping difficulties
• stress, anxiety and panic attacks
• hypertension
• poor self esteem or body confidence

In biodynamic massage, the therapist provides an individualised treatment to ensure that the client feels completely comfortable and at ease. Because of the gentle nature of the massage, clients who are perhaps new to massage or prefer a lighter touch particularly enjoy the treatments. Frances also has a particular interest in supporting women who may lack confidence in their bodies.

The many benefits of biodynamic massage include a greater awareness of the mind-body connection, deep relaxation and sense of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Learn relaxation techniques that work for you. Working with Frances as a guide you will learn a variety of techniques using the mind, breath and body to help you to relax more effectively. You can then use these techniques in your everyday life and enjoy better emotional and physical health.
