We are delighted to introduce a new addition to our community initiatives: "Exploring Who You Are Through Art," a workshop designed to support teens during one of the most formative yet challenging periods of their lives. With the backing of National Lottery funding, this 6-week series offers a safe and creative space for young people to explore their identity, build resilience, and develop meaningful connections.

Authenticity is the ability to live in alignment with who we truly are, rather than who we think we should be. It’s the foundation for self-confidence, meaningful connections, and a balanced, joyful life.

Affordable, Accessible Pain Relief for the Community - We are delighted to announce the official launch of our new Community, Multi-Bed Pain Relief Clinic at The Anderida Practice, set to open its doors on 7th November. This clinic is part of our ongoing mission to provide accessible and affordable health care to the Forest Row community and surrounding areas.

Sound therapy, sound healing, sonic massage, vibro acoustic massage, audio sonic massage, music therapy - these are all terms used to describe the use of sound, backed up by science, to improve our health and wellbeing. Made famous by Gwyneth Paltrow, sound therapy is shown by science to be as effective as meditation in reducing stress and anxiety and promoting healing.

While adolescence is broadly accepted as a transition into adulthood that brings with it psychological, emotional, and physical changes, the menopause has been a taboo subject until very recently. But what is the menopause if not the mirror of puberty.

Low back pain is very common, 80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives. There are so many different reasons why we may have low back pain, ranging from some stiffness from too much sitting, or gardening for example, to more acute pain form pulling a muscle, where we are not able to function in our normal way.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new yoga class specifically designed for teenagers, generously sponsored by National Lottery funding.

The class is tailored to the unique needs and pace of teenagers aged 12-18, providing a supportive and enriching environment for young people to thrive.

We are thrilled to announce that the Acorn Children's Clinic at the Anderida Practice / Project has recently received generous donations from both the Gatwick Airport Community Trust and the Forest Row Parish Council.

Hey everyone, Shuna here! You regulars know I’m not a huge fan of heat styling – daily blowouts and straightening fry your hair, even with “heat protectant” products. (Think of them like oiling a chip before throwing it in the fryer!)

Anxiety is an emotion that most of us experience from time to time; it can range in intensity from mild feelings of unease to full blown panic attacks. When we experience symptoms so severe that they adversely affect our ability to work, study and sleep, and negatively impact upon our relationships and ultimately our health, then this is characterised as ‘anxiety disorder’.

As the school year draws to a close, the final two weeks of exams can be particularly stressful for teenagers. The pressure to perform well, combined with long hours of studying and the inevitable worry about results, can take a toll on both their mental and physical health. At our Acorn Children's Clinic, we offer specialised acupuncture and osteopathy treatments designed to support teenagers during this challenging period.

Do you experience aches and pains, stiffness or movement restrictions? Did you know that fascia, a multi-layered connective tissue in our bodies can be a cause of these discomforts? Myofascia supports the body, it’s like a big sleeping bag with many pockets that our muscles and organs fit in, it stabilises and connects everything together from the back of our eyes right down to the soles of our feet.

Moxibustion is an ancient practice of Chinese Medicine that is used to warm, nourish or move depending on what it is needed in the body. It is not suitable for all imbalances, but when it is neeeded, its healing properties are wonderful!

In the yoga space it pays to be really bold and open. Not magical thinking, but willing to be open to new possibilities. Amber Scott teaches yoga on Friday mornings at the Anderida Practice - http://www.amberscottyoga.com
