Holistic Treatments At Westbourne
Havening
Havening is a gentle, neuroscience-based technique designed to help release emotional distress, reduce anxiety, and support healing from trauma. At Westbourne Medical Studios, we offer Havening as part of our holistic approach to emotional wellbeing—providing a calm and supportive environment where lasting change can take place.
Using soothing touch combined with guided visualisation and calming techniques, Havening helps to de-link emotional responses from distressing memories stored in the brain. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with anxiety, phobias, stress, or the lingering impact of traumatic events.
Each session is tailored to your individual needs, creating a safe space where you can process emotions at your own pace. Havening is gentle, empowering, and deeply calming—supporting a renewed sense of ease, clarity, and resilience across mind and body.

Meet The Team
Helen Skinner
Hypnotherapist
Over 13 years ago, I experienced a truly empowering hypnobirth that changed the way I viewed the mind-body connection—and inspired me to train in Natal Hypnotherapy. That journey led me to study the wider applications of hypnotherapy, and I went on to earn a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and an Advanced Certificate in Hypnosis for Behavioural Change.
Since qualifying, I’ve supported clients across a broad range of emotional and behavioural concerns, including during my time at a busy psychology and counselling clinic in Singapore. Now based in the UK, I continue to work with individuals and couples on everything from anxiety and low mood to fertility, birth preparation, and trauma recovery.
I have a particular interest in maternal health and frequently support those navigating unexplained infertility, IVF journeys, birth preparation, or postnatal trauma. Whatever the focus, my priority is creating a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and ready to move forward.
Each session is tailored to you, drawing from the latest neuroscience and therapeutic techniques. Alongside hypnotherapy, I’m also a certified Havening Practitioner and mBIT Professional Coach—modalities that blend modern research with timeless wisdom to help rewire limiting beliefs and unlock positive change.
Transformation doesn’t have to be hard. With the right tools and guidance, it can be gentle, creative, and truly life-changing. Whether you’re seeking emotional resilience, clarity, confidence, or relief from long-standing issues, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength and reprogram the unconscious patterns that are no longer serving you.
Please feel free to reach out—I’d love to support you on your path to healing and renewal.

Free Your Voice
At Westbourne Medical Studios, Free Your Voice is a unique and empowering session led by Dr Veronica—a passionate musician, semi-professional singer, and dedicated clinician. Based on the belief that everyone has a voice and everyone can sing, this session is about more than vocal technique—it’s about self-expression, emotional release, and reconnecting with your true self.
Working with specialist breathing, vocal, and sound practices, you’ll be guided to gently explore and ‘free’ your voice. The throat is home to the fifth energy centre (the throat chakra), and when energy becomes stuck here—through unexpressed emotion or feeling unheard—it can affect our wellbeing. This session helps release those energetic blocks in a safe, joyful way.
Ayurveda Consultation
Rooted in the ancient healing traditions of India, Ayurveda is the world’s oldest holistic health system—offering both preventative and curative care by treating the body, mind, and spirit as one interconnected whole. At Westbourne Medical Studios, our Ayurveda Consultations are designed to help you understand your unique constitution, known as your Prakruti, and to guide you back to balance through personalised, natural therapies.
During your consultation, we assess your Dosha—your inherent body type—using specialist diagnostic techniques. From there, we create a bespoke wellness programme tailored specifically to your needs. This may include guidance on food combining for your constitution, herbal oils, breathwork, yoga therapy, lifestyle changes, meditation, and even sound or mantra. The goal is to reduce emotional and physiological discomfort, restore digestive function, and bring your system back to strength, clarity, and ease.
Energy & Frequency Medicine
Energy and Frequency Medicine is a gentle, hands-on therapy designed to restore balance and vitality by working with the body’s natural energy systems. At Westbourne Medical Studios, this powerful session supports whole-body harmony by clearing blockages in the biomagnetic field and energy channels—also known as meridians—helping energy flow freely to organs, tissues, and beyond.
Led by Dr Veronica, this deeply relaxing treatment takes place on the couch and may include both off-body and light touch techniques. With an intuitive and grounded approach, Dr Veronica uses a combination of tuning forks, crystal singing bowls, and Eastern chimes to shift stagnant or unwanted energetic patterns held in the body.
