The Bodywork Centre is my Friday home, some of you will already know it, but for those who don’t, it’s a comfortable old building tucked away behind one of Hexhams main streets. It’s a 300 year old Grade II Listed Building. It has many original features, including oak beams, original fireplaces and low doors (I spend a lot of time ducking).

After many years and many uses it’s now home to a wide range of therapies including:

• Aromatherapy
• Alexander Technique
• Bowen Technique
• Counselling
• Chiropody
• Homeopathy
• Indian Head Massage
• Nutritional Therapy and allergy testing
• NLP & EFT
• Oriental medicine
• Osteopathy
• Reflexology
• Reiki
• Remedial massage
• Shiatsu

There’s also a warm, comfortable training room with, stained glass windows by a local artist, that can be hired for meetings, classes & training events. The room will hold up to 20 people seated, or 12 moving around (e.g. for yoga). Some of the current classes include:

• Yoga
• Qi Gong
• Stress Management
• Pilates

Not only that, there is an excellent cafe on the premises (I can personally vouch for their carrot cake) and a gift shop.

The Bodywork Centre is at 19 St Mary’s Chare, Hexham. Tel: 01434 601577
