Michael Stuck
Osteopath M.ost, BFA
I feel passionate and privileged to bring the gift of Osteopathy to people across all ages who are in need of help. My sessions will be focused on working towards a deeper understanding of the body. It will help people to realise what it means to inhabit their unique body with all its individual gifts fully. I will be taking people on a structural journey which is aimed at helping others realise their amazing resilience and ability to move through life’s pain. My hands will offer presence and understanding towards the different layers of pain. The osteopathic approach used for that holding will depend on the individual’s needs, resources and path.
With a background in carpentry, my eyes and hands are trained in finding and solving mechanical problems. This skill has helped me in becoming an osteopath. I realised that my hands are not only skilled in this way but also can look for a deeper cause for dys-function or dis-ease. Studying Fine Art gave me a more detailed understanding and refined perception of visual and haptic qualities of the surrounding world. Working in architecture helped me to see and experience how aesthetic qualities, linked with functionality, can enhance people’s lives.
I believe that Osteopathy can build bridges between a person’s inner world and their somatic expression. I love to bring my diverse knowledge and skills to this process.
Homeopath LCHE & Â Osteopath M.Ost
Originally from Belgium, I moved to the UK to study a Master’s in osteopathy and a diploma in homeopathy. Having a passion for natural medicine, I decided to deepen my knowledge of the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms by studying homeopathy. I graduated from the Centre of Homeopathic Education in London and now offering treatments in Somerset.Â
​
Growing up as the daughter of a nurse, medicine has been a core part of my life. When I got ill as a child, my mother was reluctant to go down the conventional route and luckily found out about homeopathy. This medicine has helped me endless times to restore both my physical and mental health. I would take ‘Nux Vomica’ for tummy aches and nausea, ‘Arnica’ for the occasional injury, ‘Silica’ for when I had exam stress and ‘Tuberculinum’ for the hay fever season. In challenging times at school, I would use Australian Bush Flower Remedies to move through it.Â
​
I remember being little and joining my mother on home visits. I observed the endless lists of medication that her patients had been prescribed. I did not understand why they were given so many pills and yet seemed very ill and unhappy still. My child’s mind wondered why not everyone was using homeopathy, especially since it had worked so well for me and without any side-effects. I later realised that not everything is a black and white and many people do need and benefit from conventional medication, including myself. However, I realised that I had found a hidden gem in a world that challenges you to be healthy.Â
​
Homeopathy to me is power. It is Knowing when nature can help you move through illness and pain. It is Knowing that our body is a powerhouse of wisdom and health, always striving towards balance. Homeopathy taught me that our body possesses infinite wisdom, we merely have to learn to listen to it.Â
In our sessions, we will explore together how you can listen more carefully to the messages from your body. We can observe at which moments your body was not heard and thus created symptoms. These symptoms can occur in any body part, any organ, create dis-ease and cause hurt both physically and emotionally. The greatest discovery of homeopathy is that all human behaviour is reflected in plants, animals and minerals. My work exists to truly listen to you, to your body, soul & spirit. I will then match your individual story with a homeopathic remedy that reflects your state. The homeopathic medicine acts as a catalyst for that story, that pain, that disease to transform into Health.
Mirte Vandebroek
Working with Mirte is a pleasure. She is very knowledgeable and caring and listens to you carefully and with patience. She can understand the underlying current moving across all the symptoms and really find the right remedy. Mirte helped me in the process to restore my period back to its balance and supported me in the difficult process of grieving. I am very happy with where I am now in my healing journey and the support I received from Mirte's consultation really made a difference. If you are considering starting a process with her, just do it!Â
