... WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE - YOU ARE NOW ON A HEALING JOURNEY ...


'If you bring forth that which is within you,
Then that which is within you
Will be your salvation.
If you do not bring forth that
Which is within you,
Then that which is within you
Will destroy you.'

~The Gnostic Gospels



My name is Aleks Rechtman and I am a Complementary Therapist utilising many alternative therapies including Aromatherapy, Deep Tissue Massage, Biodynamic Massage, Reiki, Emotional Freedom Techniques and Emotional Clearing for a holistic result.

I started my journey working at the Women's Therapy Centre in London where I studied on their One Year course 'Psychodynamic Aproach to Working with Women'. It was a good foundation in understanding the human psyche and enriched my understanding of clients' needs.

As I have always been interested in the connection between mind and body I decided to research this area and as a result I qualified in Aromatherapy and Massage. I believe essential oils provide a wonderful healing powers working on energetic as well as physical level. Later on I became interested in the concept of vital energy in the body and followed my studies with a Biodynamic Massage training at Chiron Centre for Body Psychotherapy and psychotherapy training at Cambridge Body Psychotherapy Centre.

Discovering the whole world of wonderful and natural techniques to improve my health I supplemented my various trainings with diplomas in BodyTalk, Kinesiology, advanced massage techniques and Emotional Freedom Technique.

One of the most rewarding and exciting adventures was my experience of working as a Doula (birthing assistant) at a Birthing Clinic in Bali, Indonesia. I spent several months 'catching babies' and running ante-natal and post-natal support for local women. When I came back to the UK it was a natural step to find a reputable training and immerse myself in the study of pregnancy and labour. I am a Middlesex University qualified Doula and practice holistic birthing care. I am also a qualified Reiki practitioner and Meridian Energy practitioner currently studying Naturopathic Nutrition at the College of Natural Nutrition.

One of my main objectives is to become an 'MOT practitioner' and to be able to help you on every level of you being, from biochemistry (Nutrition), thorugh physiology (Bodywork, Massage), energy (Biodynamic Massage, Reiki) to emotions (Meridian psychotherapy).

I strive to combine the knowledge of energy to make lasting changes in my patients through therapeutic bodywork and meridian therapies. My main practice is in Camden and it is within easy reach of the surrounding boroughs of Islington, City, Westminster, Barnet and Haringey.
