Holistic Education Centre Unifying Mind, Body and Spirit

Since 1973 we have offered educational courses, workshops and therapies for spiritual, emotional and physical well-being. The inter-connectedness of body, mind and spirit, as symbolised in the Celtic Trine, is the foundation of our work and we believe that healings and growth arise naturally from this recognition.

Soft beginnings: how participation in Salisbury Centre's Community Therapies programme benefits both practitioners and community members

'At one point or another, I think we’ve all had an idea that’s grown too big to ignore, but not yet big enough to take root in the world and grow. About a year ago, at the soft beginning of the year, I was in this place with my massage practice. Then, one day, a friend told me about the Salisbury Centre Community Therapies programme.'

This is how Jo's involvement with our Community Therapies programme began! To hear more about how it progressed, read Jo's full blogpost here: https://www.salisburycentre.org/jo-craven-on-community-therapies/
And if you would like to book a treatment with Jo, you can write to her directly at bookings@joannecraven.co.uk

Thank you, Jo, for all of your contributions, and we wish you all the best with developing your practice!
