About me

Health & Well-being Therapist Harrogate

Hello, I’m Patti.

I am a caring and enthusiastic Complementary therapist, Acupuncturist  & Yoga teacher and have been in full time practice since December 1999.

I offer a confidential, non-judgemental and supportive service to every individual regardless of race, gender, age or sexual orientation.

Patti Hemmings Health and Wellbeing Therapist Harrogate

My aim is to offer you a bespoke service that is based on your needs and specific preferences using the most appropriate and effective treatment.

Having initially embarked on training to be a Physiotherapist, I realised I had a great passion to help people improve their health and sense of well-being.

I have been very fortunate to have gained invaluable experience working with a wide age range of people over the last 20 years, from 4 year olds to those in their 90s.

Whilst I am now in private practice, I have worked as a therapist in community health projects, taught Pilates to women in a open prison, at a specialised head injury unit, in nursing homes and in the business world offering support to individual employees who were experiencing pain, stress, anxiety or post traumatic stress.

Every day I see individuals who are in pain, anxious, stressed or have a health problem that is holding them back from fully enjoying their lives.

If you are experiencing any of the following conditions:

  • Migraines & headaches
  • Anxiety & stress
  • Lower back, shoulder or neck pain
  • Fertility & IVF support
  • Low mood or depression
  • Pregnancy-related morning sickness
  • Hay fever & allergies
  • Arthritis
  • Peripheral neuropathy (post chemotherapy treatment)
  • Hot flushes (either Menopausal or post hormonal treatment for breast & prostate cancer)
  • Chronic pain
  • Fatigue
  • Painful periods & other gynecological conditions
  • Digestive (including bowel) problems
  • Self confidence & self worth issues
  • A fear, phobia or a habit you wish to change
  • Relationship difficulties

I will do my very best to help you.

I use a number of Complementary therapies such as Acupuncture, Aromatherapy massage, Counselling, Emotional Freedom technique, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, Reflexology and Yoga to help you.

My particular area of expertise is working with individuals who have anxiety, self confidence issues or who are currently feeling stressed or burned out. The priority here is for me to support you, so that you can really begin to value who you are and stop judging yourself so harshly. Together we will work on increasing your sense of well-being and positivity, so you can relax more and get on to lead a happier life.

I have worked in both national British television and on Radio Leeds in connection with my therapy and teaching work.

I regularly attend conferences and seminars to keep up to date with medical research and as a means of extending my skills and knowledge. Most recently, I have completed the NHS Palliative Care for Complementary Therapies and NHS Certificate in Complementary Therapy and course on Acupuncture for Fertility support.

I am a full member of the British Acupuncture Council, General Hypnotherapy Register and the National Counselling Society.

One of the benefits for you of me being a member of the British Acupuncture Council is that if you have a health insurance policy you may be able to reclaim part of the cost of your Acupuncture treatment.

Having been a busy working mum of 2 daughters, I am fully aware of the many conflicting demands that life can make on us.

I first became aware of Acupuncture when I was experiencing monthly stress and hormonal headaches, (I was working as a Director of a community based charity at the time). After a few treatments my headaches stopped. I was so impressed that I took my then 9 year old daughter for Acupuncture to help with her Asthma. Natasha went for 4 treatments (one a week) and has never experienced Asthma symptoms since (she is now 29).

After this very positive experience I decided to give up my full time job in the charitable/third sector and train full time in Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture at the prestigious Northern College of Acupuncture in York, qualifying in 2006.

In 2010 I continued my studies in Acupuncture by studying for a MSc in Acupuncture & Chinese medicine at Middlesex University.

Having always had a interest in human psychology and mental health (having studied counselling and social psychology at Bradford University)  I have since trained in Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and Yoga.

I also teach First Aid training courses throughout North & West Yorkshire. Please see my website at www.firstaidtrainingharrogate.co.uk for further information.

My interests and hobbies include walking Harley my cockapoo, socialising with my family, partner and friends (daughters living in London & Sydney), playing tennis & badminton (not very well), cycling, practising Yoga, travel and personal development.
