Ginger Natural Health
Alternative Medicine Specialist in St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 1NG
About the Business
Ginger was formed, by Suzie Vincent, in 2007 with the aim of offering the best and most complete range of natural therapies in St Albans. Our purpose is to provide good health and long term well being through the promotion of natural therapies. It seems to be working.
Ginger offers mainstream therapies such as massage, acupuncture and reflexology but also incorporates other complementary therapies such as hypnotherapy, craniosacral therapy, nutritional therapy, osteopathy, physiotherapy and yoga. We give a complete service to clients looking for drug free alternatives both to alleviate injury and pain and offer a remedy for stress through relaxation.
Ginger has grown by having the only the very best of therapists who are able to meet the needs and expectations of an ever growing client base. We always remember that our clients are our best advocates and that much of our business comes from personal referral, so our aim is to make your treatment at ginger as relaxing and beneficial as possible.
Our clients come to us with both acute and chronic problems, many come suffering from the stresses and strains of living a hectic life and juggling family and work commitments. Ailments may be a product of this but we recognise that often relaxation is the key to the maintenance of long term well being.
Pregnancy, fertility, birth preparation, induction and breech birth have all become popular specialist areas of treatment. We have helped many couples through the anxious times of conception, pregnancy, birth and beyond.
So we make therapy not only relaxing but a priority. We have a number of massage therapists each offering a different approach to their treatments. We do our best to find the right treatment for you believing that each of our clients is truly individual and deserve to be treated as such.
We launched beauty at ginger in 2010, offering ladies, and gentlemen, a chance to relax and look and feel wonderful! Facials, manicures and pedicures and waxing are just a few of the beauty treatments available.
