Alicky Gravell
BSS
Whilst living in Africa Alicky came across some wonderful healing techniques, including Shiatsu and Reflexology.
She trained for a year in Nairobi and then, in 1990, returned to the UK where she continued her training of Reflexology in London.
She then began a 3 year diploma in Shiatsu (which is similar to Accupuncture without the needles!) and Shin Tai techniques (working with the fascia in the body) graduating in 1994 and starting her treatment with her London Clients. After making the move back to her childhood village in Wiltshire she heard about InterX Therapy and completed her training in this field with Dr Zulia Frost.
At The EFT Centre in London (keen to further expand her ability to heal the mind as well as the body), she studied Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which is a tapping therapy used for many different emotional traumas including fear, phobia , anxiety and depression. Studying Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) followed shortly graduating in 2008.
Alicky is known for her dedication and commitment in her practice, as evidenced by many testimonials. With her Montessori teaching background of young children and three girls of her own, Alicky is able to successfully treat a variety of age groups from six weeks upwards.
Alicky has been trained by some wonderful inspiring experts in Body and mind therapies and is able to combine them for maximum benefit. She is passionate about her work

Starting out as a professional Mechanical Design Engineer, I began my interest in holistic and natural therapies over 20 years ago after a severe illness that western medicine could do little to treat or support.
I support the holistic approach to healthcare of ‘treating the whole body - not just the symptom’ – and I am fascinated in the new pioneering areas of Energy Medicine. I now use various safe and non-invasive techniques to help support the body to heal itself and achieve a natural healthy balance.
I am an accredited Advanced InterX Practitioner having used it for over 10 years in my practice for a wide range of acute and choric conditions. I have been fortunate to have been trained by Dr Zulia Valyeva Frost of the UK InterX clinic, one of the leading Energy Medicine centres in the UK and Europe
Other therapies offered:
I am a qualified Touch for Heath Kinesiology practitioner that uses a combination of Chiropractic, Massage, Acupressure and Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques to help bring the body back into natural balance. It works on many areas of imbalances including physical, emotional, nutritional and energetic. I follow the ‘responsibility’ model of healthcare and will usually provide supportive material, techniques and exercises so the client can continue their ‘healing process’ at home.
My learning is a continuous process and I am currently studying Tuina, Traditional Chinese Massage that is complimentary to my interest in Energy Medicine techniques
Bio
Patient Message:
Natural healing is a process that takes time. Too often we look for a quick fix, maybe treating just the symptom and not the cause. I use a range of modern and traditional ancient techniques to support the body’s own inbuilt natural and powerful healing ability.
I am founder of the Total Wellbeing Group, an holistic health practice that provides support for the body to help with acute and chronic pain and digestive disorders. We developed Intestinal Tone + DE, a unique blend of fibre, pre & probiotics, calming herbs and digestives enzymes to help support natural digestive balance. We are great supporters of ‘Earthing’ and supply personal ‘Earthing’ bedding items, clothing and accessories for home and travel use to help support natural anti -inflammatory and pain relief processes.
Based near Winchcombe in the beautiful Cotswolds, I work from my comfortable home clinic and support clients in the surrounding areas of Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire. Please feel free to call me to discuss how we may be able to help you.
