Supporting your wellbeing through holistic therapies
My story my approach
Carrie Michael
My own journey through life – navigating emotional, physical and spiritual ups and downs – has shaped me into the therapist I am today. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep empathy and understanding that each person’s path is unique, and that support needs to be gentle, personal, and without judgement.
Naturally empathetic and easy to relate to, I believe there is no “one size fits all” approach to health and wellbeing. I see myself as a bridge – connecting practical healing and care with deeper wisdom and understanding, bringing balance both inside and out, and helping you feel safe, supported and whole.
I work with people from all walks of life, supporting a wide range of needs. Whether you are living with a long-term condition, experiencing physical discomfort, feeling overwhelmed by stress or fatigue, or navigating life transitions – including end-of-life care – I am here to support you.
My work is gentle, calm, and completely centred around you. I take time to listen, understand your situation and your goals, and tailor each session to meet your individual needs. Whether we are working with the body, emotions, or energy, my aim is always to help you find comfort, balance, and a deeper sense of wellbeing.
My experience & work
I have spent over 20 years supporting people within our local community in Swindon, building a depth of experience across many areas of health and wellbeing:
Swindon MS Centre (12 years) – providing treatments and dedicated support to people living with MS and other neurological conditions, helping to improve comfort, mobility and quality of life.
Swindon Hospice (12 years, voluntary) – offering gentle, therapeutic support to patients and their families during illness and end-of-life care. It was a privilege to bring comfort and relaxation at such important times.
Wellbeing support (16 years and ongoing) – I continue to attend wellbeing days for individuals living with breast cancer, offering tailored therapies to help feel more balanced, supported, and at ease.
Current volunteering – I also volunteer with Look Good Feel Better, supporting individuals to feel more confident and comfortable during their cancer journey.
This wide-ranging experience has given me a deep understanding of how different health challenges can affect us, and how the right support and therapies can bring comfort, relief, and meaningful improvements to everyday life.
Body Therapies
I offer a range of gentle body-based therapies, including Bowen Therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and ear candling, designed to ease physical tension, support recovery, and restore balance within the body.
Energy Work
My energy-based therapies work with the body’s subtle systems to support balance, clarity, and deep relaxation. These include Reiki, crystal healing, quantum energy healing and spiritual facials helping to release energetic blocks and restore a sense of harmony.
Mind Body Integration
I also offer therapies to support emotional wellbeing and inner balance, including access bars, health kinesiology, and nutritional guidance. These sessions are designed to gently support mindset, stress, and overall wellbeing from within.
