Jodie Milsom ITEC IFR LCPH ARH

Jodie graduated from the College of Practical Homeopathy, London in June 2006.

Over the last 10 years, prior to training as a Homeopath, Jodie's practice as a Sports Therapist and Reflexologist, allowed her to develop her clinical and medical knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology to the very highest level.

Jodie's also gained experience in Social Work whilst working as a Senior Residential Social Worker with children who have special needs and challenging behaviour. This has enabled her to have a privileged insight into the needs and health complications of children, which she now finds is of particular relevance when treating children with Homeopathy.

Since qualifying she is now practicing in a busy private practice in Kent as well as in London. At both practices she works closely with other health professionals.

As well as working in her businesses, Jodie is at present writing a much needed Homeopathic Reference Book.

Jaclyn Gordon

Jaclyn Gordon who trained with Body Control Pilates is a Level 3 Pilates Teacher and currently on the Register of Exercise Professionals. Having taught mat-based Pilates predominantly for the past two years she is presently training to include the use of studio equipment.

Since qualifying as a mat work teacher with Body Control Pilates she has had the privilege of working for Paul Massey at The Partnership and for Monica Kesson in Faversham.

Some years ago she was introduced to Pilates by a physiotherapist. She became hooked and often refers to it as the "thinking person's exercise" because of the numerous benefits. Having always taken an interest in staying healthy and exercising it seemed inevitable that she would be drawn to eventually teach this unique way of moving. She has never looked back and neither will you!
