Clinic 66, your new holistic wellness centre

A derelict bakery which was subdivided into apartments and then left empty has been reinvented as Clinic 66, a wellness centre in the heart of Bewdley, offering a range of medical and holistic treatments to help people look after their physical and mental health. Registered nurse Faye McCann has fond memories of playing in the beautiful garden of the property at 66 High Street, Bewdley, when her grandparents owned it in the 1990s. They had intended to live in it themselves, but although that never happened, Faye herself rented one of the flats when she was a teenager. Her grandparents both died last year and, being sad to see the property looking run down, she decided it was time to revitalise it. Renting it anew, she has now refreshed the ground floor into a pleasant clinic where people can enjoy one-to-one treatments by a range of specialist practitioners, all promoting health and well-being. Faye herself retains her NHS role as a district nurse and will be providing ear irrigation to rid people of wax blockages and restore their hearing, something she loves to do. Two more nurses have taken up time slots offering the latest aesthetic beauty treatments, including Botox and fillers, helping clients to enjoy smoother skin. A podiatrist provides care for the feet, an aromatherapist/ reflexologist offers supremely relaxing treatments utilising essential oils and other specialists arrange crystal workshops, reiki, massage and meditation. After an official opening on March 31, Faye is delighted with the way things are going. “I love the NHS and will keep working in it as that’s my history, it’s who I am. But, having worked through the pandemic, it’s clear there’s a bit of a mental health crisis out there. I think we have all got to look after each other and look after ourselves. It’s so important. “I believe Clinic 66 can help with that.”

I have been using herbs medicinally since the mid-1980s, and, since my formal training, have been in professional practice for nearly 2 decades.

The Green Man Herbal Apothecary is based on the old Apothecary whereby, the individual may consult with the practitioner and gain access to remedies for both acute and chronic conditions. Chronic conditions are treated through a holistic approach that takes time to fully listen to your case, while considering the factors that make up the human condition such as diet, lifestyle and emotional blocks. I acknowledge dis-ease as an individual expression that is best treated by balancing those factors and resolving the underlying cause, rather than merely suppressing symptoms Treatment is achieved through the bespoke blending from a range of about 120 herbs as well as Flower Remedies.

Prioritise your mental wellbeing with Laura Wellness Centre

Looking after our mental health has perhaps never been so important since the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the turmoil in Ukraine and the prospect of rampant inflation. Thankfully, the Laura Wellness Centre in Worcester offers a safe, tranquil space where people can experience counselling, psychotherapy and complementary treatments to help them not just to survive but to thrive, even in the midst of turmoil.

The Laura Wellness Centre is run by Laura Baluta, a highly qualified psychologist and psychotherapist with great experience of working with people of all ages, from young children to the very elderly. As a Master of Integrative Psychotherapy, she is trained in multiple kinds of counselling, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic and Humanistic Therapies. These she blends uniquely to suit each individual client and their needs.

Laura’s techniques help people to identify the root causes of their anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, stress and mental discomfort in general. Discovering negative attitudes and behaviours enables them to be changed toward more constructive attitudes with better outcomes. They also help to generate greater resilience to cope with what comes and make improvements.

Laura says: “COVID is still a focus. During the past couple of months, I’ve seen more people suffering from agoraphobia because they have grown so used to staying home. Some can’t even bear having the rest of the family inside their house. Also, the war in Ukraine is having an effect. We are bombarded with so many distressing images every day and there is a palpable fear about how it will develop.

“Our therapy is about giving them a safe place to voice everything that is in their head, being able to express their feelings without being judged and learning to live with all this uncertainty that is in our lives.”

Absolutely 100% so happy working with Laura. She makes me feel like a normal person and everything will be fine. Nothing is too much trouble

When I first arrived I have already had 2 other counsellours but within 3 sessions Laura had found the root cause

Reflecting on where I was a year ago, the growth and confidence I’ve made in a short space of time is excellent. Laura has been such a a support during a particularly sad and stressful time.
