Psychotherapist, trainer and Consultant with experience in the UK and Canada. Conor aim is to help people heal, progress, improve their wellbeing, and meet their goals.
Hello, we’re Jo & Kev Buchan,
We’re therapists trained to master level and personally mentored by physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert in his methodology. We’ve worked with thousands of clients over the years and what’s important to us is we treat the person as a whole, not just a set of symptoms or a diagnosis. Any test results are a snapshot of that moment in time and we believe you can change and even reverse your symptoms. You are not your diagnosis, you are UNIQUE and have the power to completely change your lifestyle and reverse your symptoms.
Working with clients we view you in a holistic way that means we treat the whole person, taking into account mental, emotional, environmental, seasonal factors rather than just the symptoms of a disease. The cause of a disease can be completely different even with someone who has the same symptoms. Our DNA and lifestyles are unique; jobs, hobbies, relationships, stress, family.
You have the power to change your symptoms, to relieve pain and imbalances. With our Method, we provide you will all the tools you need.
We’re limited in the number of clients we can treat in person, this membership allows you to connect with us in a way that’s more affordable.
Our mission is for you to reverse your symptoms without the use of pharmaceuticals or relying on painkillers. But it starts with you making the decision to get better, to commit time to yourself, to make yourself a priority. This is not a quick fix, this is a lifestyle change, you will not only feel strong but happy, energised, supported and connected. You are unique and your practice should be too. To the time you have available, the style of practice you need, the season you’re in and any injuries or challenges your currently going through.
We believe the practices and tools should be sustainable and fit effortlessly into your day. It’s should feel like brushing your teeth, it doesn’t feel right when you don’t do it and it’s part of your daily routine.
