When stress, trauma and emotional load begin to show in the body, this is where real change begins.
Supporting women to restore calm, clarity and stability in both body and mind.
A private clinic in Durham offering specialist nervous system and fascia therapy alongside professional Usui Reiki training.
Reiki • Tsuboki Japanese Face Massage • Nervous system-led therapy and bodywork
Most women arrive here when stress, emotional load and long periods of coping begin to show in the body.
Fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, feeling constantly tense, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. Or simply a deep knowing that something needs to change.
This work supports the body to move out of survival mode and into a steadier, more regulated state.
From here, thinking becomes clearer, emotions feel more manageable, and life begins to feel easier and more stable again.
This is a private clinic offering both in-person and online sessions. Treatments and Reiki training are grounded in physiology, fascia and somatic awareness, with a focus on long-term nervous system stability rather than quick fixes or surface level relief.
Led by Leanne Barker, former NHS nurse, integrative therapist and Usui Reiki Master Teacher, with advanced training in counselling, fascia-based bodywork, somatic therapy and nervous system regulation.
If you’re unsure where to start, you don’t need to have it all figured out. Most women begin with a 1:1 session.
At Holistic Care Durhan
I specialise in women’s nervous system, emotional and physical wellbeing. Most of the women who come to see me have already tried to cope on their own for a long time. They are strong, capable and used to pushing through, but eventually their body begins to show the impact of chronic stress, trauma or burnout.
My work is integrative and grounded. I draw on my background in nursing alongside advanced training in fascia-based bodywork, somatic and trauma-aware approaches, emotional processing and Reiki. This allows me to work with the whole person, not just symptoms.
I understand that emotional experiences are not only psychological. They are held within the body, particularly within the fascial and nervous system. When this system becomes overwhelmed, it can affect sleep, hormones, digestion, pain, anxiety and overall resilience. My focus is to help the body feel safe enough to regulate, release and integrate.
This is not spa or relaxation therapy. It is calm, professional and deeply therapeutic care designed to support long-term change and maintenance.
Sessions take place in my private clinic in County Durham or online, and I also provide professional Reiki training for those wishing to work at a deeper level.
