Qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 1976 and worked on the orthopaedic wards and intensive care before leaving to live in Australia. Also qualified to use acupuncture for pain relief in musculo-skeletal conditions.

Homoeopath  

Jacqui Flowerday

Who am I

Following earlier years teaching senior nurses the physiology behind Stress, Pain, Endocrine dysfunction and Immune Response for Birkbeck College, London University, I studied homeopathy at The College of Homeopathy, Regents Park.  Having established a practice in Suffolk for 10 years, to my delight I was able to return to my home county of Somerset over 2 years ago.  

As a proud member of the Society of Homeopaths I ensure continuing education not only through general practice but also by attending seminars with teachers of international renown.

My approach follows classical principles suiting case analysis to the needs of the individual. I use my broad knowledge of nutrition, kinesiology, herbal and flower remedies, to ensure that healing is both gentle and fast.
