Helen qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in London, following a four-year degree. She has over 15 years’ experience. Initially she worked in private clinics in Chester and Nottingham before establishing Hands On Health with her sister. Since having her two sons, Helen has concentrated on osteopathy and now runs her clinic as Leek Osteopathic Health Centre,and recently relocated the premises from West street, Leek to our current address. Helen’s aim is to increase the awareness of osteopathy and its health benefits, and ensure it is affordable and available to all.
Nik is married to Chris and they share their house in Leek with a German Shepherd dog, Loki and a cat Skye. She loves nature and being outdoors; when she isn’t walking their dog, she will be either cycling or enjoying the exercise classes at Brough Park Leisure Centre. She loves pilates, enjoys skiing and scuba diving (but now a days only in warm tropical waters!). Any remaining spare time is spent gardening, reading about holistic therapies some of which she has certificates in and has recently successfully completed a Diploma in Naturopathic Nutrition.

To become a qualified osteopath, you have to gain an osteopathic degree and undertake over 1,000 hours of training in osteopathic techniques. An osteopathic degree is similar to a medical degree but it focuses more on anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine. By law, osteopaths also have to register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), the profession’s statutory regulator. This body sets and maintains UK standards for osteopathy. The GOsC require osteopaths to renew their licence to practise every year, and will only do so if they prove they have completed 30 hours of continued professional development, have adequate insurance, and remain in good health and of good character. You can always check if an osteopath is registered by searching the GOsC’s online register at www.osteopathy.org.uk
