![Melanie Adams Slow It Down Therapies]()
mel adams: slow it down therapy
My journey began in beauty therapy, where my love for skincare led me to train with some of the world's most prestigious brands, including Chanel, Shiseido, Decléor, and Crème de la Mer. Working in London's luxury skincare industry gave me invaluable insight into nurturing the skin, body, and soul.
After moving back to Chichester, I spent time at Goodwood Hotel, further refining my craft with Elemis and Elemental Herbology. I deepened my knowledge through specialized training in pregnancy massage and cancer massage, reinforcing my commitment to providing safe, adaptive, and compassionate care for all. As a holistic massage therapist, I believe that every body is unique, which is why my treatments are tailored to suit your specific needs.
My expertise includes:
Deep tissue massage - to release tension and restore mobility
Reiki energy healing - to encourage emotional and physical harmony
Indian head massage (Level 3) - to relieve stress and enhance well-being
Colour therapy - to align the body's energy and mood
Sports massage (Level 3 & 4) - to promote recovery and relaxation
While I don't offer every treatment I've trained in, I intuitively adapt my approach to suit your needs, lifestyle, and goals. Whether you're seeking relief from stress, chronic pain, pregnancy discomfort, or simply need time to reconnect with yourself, my mission is to help you slow down, unwind, and feel truly restored.
If you're ready to experience a holistic approach to wellness, I'd love to welcome you to Slow it Down Holistic Therapies.

![Joane & Thea Mayes of Eclipse Homeopathy]()
jo & thea mays: eclipse homeopathy
We are Jo & Thea, mother & daughter, and both homeopaths with a deep love for nature and its power to heal.
Jo began her journey into homeopathy began when one of her daughter’s faced anxiety due to Asperger Syndrome. A homeopath parent introduced us to this gentle, natural form of care, and it changed our lives.
For years, homeopathy has helped my family and me manage anxiety, asthma, and even my severe migraines and back pain. When our homeopath retired, we returned to conventional treatments, but we struggled with side effects and recurring issues. This experience deepened my belief in homeopathy’s effectiveness, inspiring me to train as a practitioner.
Now, I’m passionate about helping others find balance and wellness through this natural, holistic approach. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical ailments or emotional challenges, I’m here to guide you on your healing journey.
Homeopathy is a 200-year-old system of medicine that is both gentle and powerful. It takes a holistic approach, treating the whole person rather than focusing on individual symptoms. By assessing mental, emotional, and physical aspects, homeopathy aims to uncover and address the root cause of an issue.
Initial consultations are thorough and may last up to two hours, while follow-up appointments typically take up to one hour.
Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances and are carefully diluted to make them non-toxic. These remedies are administered as small, dissolvable pills and are safe for everyone, including babies, pregnant women, and the elderly. They can also be safely used alongside conventional medicines.
