WRIGLEY STREET HEALTH - CLAIRE BLEAKLEY, JULIA BLACK, LA DONNA STANCLIFFE-DEANS, MELANIE WALLIS AND ANNE DAHLBERG It is now nine years since Wrigley Street Health was established in Masterton by a group of health professionals, all working in different fields but with a shared belief in holistic health care. The centre was opened by Chiropractor Melanie Wallis, Massage Therapist Janet Williams and Office Manager Anne Dahlberg with Homeopath Claire Bleakley joining a few months later. Janet has now left the centre, while Midwife Julia Black joined Wrigley Street Health last August and Podiatrist La Donna Stancliffe-Deans in December 2013.

All the therapists in the Centre complement and support each other in providing holistic help to patients for optimal results. Plus Anne is the friendly face that greets visitors to the centre and continues in her role as its fabulous office manager. The centre has a large off-road car park specifically for the use of its clients.

LA DONNA STANCLIFFEDEANS

CLAIRE BLEAKLEY - HOMEOPATH (RC HOM, BSC/ PSYC, DIP HERB)

I have been a Homeopath for 20 years after successfully seeking homeopathic treatment to overcome a serious chronic illness - epilepsy. Homeopathy restored my health by stimulating my body’s own natural response system and has successfully allowed me to live without fits for the last 19 years. Homeopathic remedies have been used for over 200 years. They are not tested on animals and are sourced from the natural kingdoms. They are safe, effective and deep acting. A Homeopathic consultation will take around 1 hour, with a 6 week follow up. The consultation is important, and takes into consideration the mental, emotional and physical symptoms of the person’s illness. Homeopathy can help with active acute illnesses like coughs and colds, flu, infections and allergies to slower chronic ones like depression and long term illnesses that flare up seasonally. I have published books, and attended and presented at conferences on homeopathy and worked with women in AIDS and Malaria clinics in Kenya. So if you are interested in looking further as to how Homeopathy can help you, please call me at Wrigley Street Health. Claire Bleakley - Health Care you can Trust.

Today Wrigley Street Health embraces all four professional women, each running their own businesses, and all with an holistic approach to health.
