January and February at the
Natural Health and Beauty Clinic in Arnside
(Written by Rosy Glover, Flower Essence Therapist and Doula)
Situated on the estuary shore at Arnside, The Natural Health and Beauty
Clinic is the ideal place to start nurturing mind, body and soul. Owner, Claudia
Carrillo has a background in nursing and a passion for health and wellbeing.
As a nurse, Claudia is familiar with both the personal and health needs of the
whole person. Her vision for the Clinic is a ‘one-stop-shop’ for people from
Lancashire and Cumbria to access high quality Alternative Health and Beauty
Practitioners.
Claudia has built a close-knit, expert team of Therapists who are able to
cross-refer to one another to treat most ailments, complaints and conditions
holistically, as well as make people feel good about themselves and their
appearance. Claudia acknowledges that a holistic approach is at the heart of
the success of the Clinic – a client who would like a manicure, may also like a
massage for a pulled muscle – someone who would like chiropody, may also
benefit from reflexology. Our care and interest in the whole person means that
we listen to client’s needs and make recommendations about a health and
beauty programme relevant to that person’s situation. In a rural setting this
approach makes time, ecological and health sense. It also means that the
Clinic forms an active relationship with the community – a place people come
for a bit of advice or information.
Claudia’s holistic approach has led her to train in Bioregulatory Medicine –a
diagnostic art, which accurately gets to the root of any problem or illness and
presents a joined-up approach to healing. Using this method, Claudia refers
patients to any of the therapists she thinks will be of benefit, giving them a
comprehensive analysis of the patient’s body and energy systems. Cutting
edge therapies such as Bioregulatory Medicine at the Clinic, complement the
more well-known therapies such as Counselling, and Acupuncture.
As the Flower Essence Therapist at the Clinic I know that along with a joined
up holistic approach, seasonality is also important to us here. Personally, I
work closely with the energies of the time of year, and with flowers and plants
to make and prescribe vibrational essences for emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
Often flowers that are growing or blooming at a certain time of year are
the ones most beneficial for use at that time. In my consultations, I ask client’s
if there are any flowers, plants, trees or animals that they have particularly
noticed recently. We then talk about the colours, shapes and properties of that
flower, to see if it’s essence would be of use. Being in tune with the earth’s
rhythms also enables our team to cater for people’s needs during that season.
January and February can be difficult months, dark, cold and tiring. At the
Natural Health and Beauty Clinic we expect people to feel ‘under the weather’
and in need of a boost. We also know that the new year brings in a desire to
change or start a new regimen, and in tune with the ancient festival of Imbolc,
it is a time to spring clean emotionally and physically! The massage therapists
are mindful about the boost in immunity people often require around this time.
They choose special essential oils, particularly lavender and ravensara to help
activate the immune system and fight off infection faster and easier. Beauty
therapists know that a pampering facial can assist with any sinus troubles,
and help to revitalise the skin if it is sluggish with excess from Christmas. All
the therapists take into account that they can provide a window of rest and
relaxation for people who walk into the clinic, and in January, more than any
other time of year, this can be a real support. Our Counsellor is ready to
support with any changes people want to make in their lives, particularly
giving something up or letting something go, and Flower Essences can
support this process too. Our Reflexologist and Foot Health Professional
know that party heals and winter boots can both lead our feet to need extra
tender loving care around January and February. Our Reiki therapists can
help with any sort of energy work that needs to happen on a healing path, and
can often be quite revitalising for the tiring winter nights and low energy in
January. Reiki in conjunction with creative tools can also help to achieve a
goal by focussing intent on a new year’s resolution.

Hand in hand with this seasonal approach, important to Claudia’s vision, is the
sense of community and celebration that is at the heart of the Clinic. Her
personal view is that the therapists available at the clinic always have a role to
play with the people locally. As such they work in partnership with local
organisations to reach people who perhaps wouldn’t normally walk into a
Natural Health and Beauty Clinic. They manage to do this through fundraising
events, where therapists charge minimal fees for mini-treatments, or through
celebration and pamper evenings with local service-providers and retailers.
Natural health and beauty, Claudia believes, can be integrated into our every
day way of life, rather than being something we access occasionally.
