Louise Thomas

Kinesiologist & Somatic Practitioner

My own journey through illness, injury, recovery and living in different cultures has deepened this curiosity and shaped the way I work today.
 
In 2016, a friend signed me up to run the London marathon in honour of a promise I made to my Dad before his sudden death. Everything had shifted and training for the marathon gave me a way to physically move through grief, uncovering the connection between physical health, emotional wellbeing and the wider environment, and by the ways our bodies communicate what we sometimes struggle to put into words. This eventually led me to discover kinesiology and make significant changes to my own diet and lifestyle, which opened up a much deeper understanding of how interconnected these aspects of our wellbeing can be.
 

I’m a Systematic Kinesiologist, yoga teacher and natural health practitioner, offering a gentle, body-centred approach to wellbeing. Through muscle testing, nutrition, acupressure, somatic practices and nervous-system support, I act as a voice and mirror for your body to help us listen more closely and explore what may be underlying the way you are feeling.

 

My work is particularly rooted in creating a sense of safety, ease and connection, rather than focusing simply on symptoms. I believe the body has a remarkable capacity to guide us towards greater balance in all aspects of our life when we learn how to listen to it.

When my dad died, I was 29, and I didn't know who I was anymore. Within six months, I had lost him, my dog, my job, my home and many of my closest friends and family connections. I found myself in a new city, trying to build a life while carrying grief that felt overwhelming.
 
The loss was profound, but working through the body gave me an outlet for my emotions without having to explain, analyse or interpret myself to yet another therapist.
 
Then it went further. I began to navigate the world through feeling, and when I ignored what I felt, I learned to surrender to the consequences. What had been a stubborn knot became an unwinding of conditioned behaviours, opening the door to the world around me, and to myself, with openness, curiosity and compassion.
I'd love to share that experience with you.
 
Kinesiology helps us get to the root of what's going on, easing our symptoms and bringing us back into alignment with a full, healthy life. It gives us a toolkit for navigating the world around us. It can support chronic health conditions, chronic stress and recurring illness, or be used as a preventative measure.

What People Say

Testimonials

Before I had a series of Bowen sessions I had lived with lower back pain and discomfort for over ten years. I chose the Bowen technique as I wanted to be treated by a practitioner who understood that the body is a whole system. The technique itself is not invasive or stressful on the body as the underlying approach is that with the right support, time and gentle encouragement the body can heal.

Working with Fran over the last few months has been a joy. I loved the variety in our sessions. Many different techniques always resulting in breakthroughs that Fran then helped me to process. Thanks again!

I highly recommend the Centre for Integral Health. I've been here for multiple sessions with Ben Calder, and honestly, you need to go and experience it for yourself. Friendly, professional and just a generally positive experience all around! The Centre offers such a range of services, I can't wait to try out a few of the other therapies they offer!

"I really struggle to meditate. To sit in silence and with my own thoughts. I had a huge fear of being alone before I met Fran. I wanted to calm my thoughts when I was struggling. Fran recorded an audio that I listen to when I feel myself spiralling down into my negative emotions. It helps me to remember that I'm never alone and I can listen to it wherever I am. Thanks so much Fran!

I used the centre to help training and preparation for a marathon. As well as getting some great advice around technique and training, I was also introduced to Bowen Technique which helped repair a slight hamstring injury and also Kinesiology which allowed me to design a bespoke training diet. Would definitely recommend.

Love the Qigong classes Ben runs. Professional, safe and informative. Thanks Ben

Had several neuro-energetic kinesiology appointments at the Centre and found the experience to be very beneficial and eye-opening. Would recommend to anyone. 5 star

I would like to thank Wan, for a deep tissue and stone massage, it's an experience that I've never had before, already booked for next week, I would recommend this to anyone, please look at there website as there are numerous things to do within the complex.

I would definitely recommend Fran to anyone who is looking for a little guidance. Fran is very warm and so easy to talk to. Even online, I was able to instantly connect to Fran, and she really listens and has the ability to help guide without judgement. I'm grateful for the work she has done for me

So I cant quite believe Im writing this a week on but his legs seem nearly cleared, hes now not drinking any milk.... he eats more in one meal than he did all day and I dont want to speak to soon but 2 nights now he has slept through.compared to waking under every 2 hours the last few weeks. ...in one small week our lives seem much improved!

Wow! As I left my session with the amazingly knowledgeable Ben Calder I said: I feel lighter! I feel so light because I now know what my body does and does not like. I cannot stop talking to everyone about how amazing Ben is! Everyone should go and see him! What an amazing soul Ben is! Super grateful that our lives crossed

Went very well. Was very happy with how friendly and welcoming it all was, and the treatment was at the highest quality.

Went there yesterday for my first yoga session. It's a great little place. Didn't know it was there until a few months ago. I also go there often to have a massage which I love!

I've been working with Ben for just over a year now and have found his support incredibly helpful. Most recently, Ben has taught me specific techniques for managing emotional response and staying calm and in control during moments of extreme pressure. Ben's walk and talk sessions are fantastic and I would highly recommend him!

10 days after the session for my daughter, she received a "Heart Award" at school for her positivity. She has been bright, positive and done after school activities - clubs and sports 4/5 evenings! She wouldn't even leave the house unless 100% required a few weeks back. I thought I should share this with you. Thank you.

I'd also like to say that the appointments I have had with you have made such a big difference to my life. Although it's been hard cutting things out of my diet, I can't believe how much my skin has improved since my appointment with you. I will continue to recommend you to my family and friends because as I have said, the appointments I have had with you over the years have improved my well-being so much!

I am sure that if it wasnt for your classes, the function in my left bicep would have not come back. Also I would have not been able to recover from my chemotherapy so quickly, I can not thank you enough.

"Working with Fran over the last few months has been a joy. I loved the variety in our sessions. Many different techniques always resulting in breakthroughs that Fran then helped me to process. Thanks again!

Excellent service from start to finish, the booking system was very straightforward and the clinic is spotlessly clean. I can highly recommend Ben Calder who has given me my life back!! After suffering debilitating headaches for many years, and having various medications and procedures done by neurologists, two sessions with Ben has completely cured them. There is no pressure to book further appointments, unlike some therapists.

Got an appointment through really quickly. The staff were really friendly and made the procedures and testing easy to understand throughout, step by step. Really pleased with the outcome. Finally got the answers I was looking for and would highly recommend.

I had four Bowen sessions each about three weeks apart, after the first session I felt a notable difference in my posture and in the strength of my spine, strangely I felt taller. By the fourth session I knew that my discomfort had been resolved and I am now able to move much more freely and flexibly without worrying about my back.

I feel like Ive come such a long way since my first session with you and I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for the treatments and advice youve given me Thank you Ben!!!

Great service from Ben and his team. If you want your aches and pains sorting out or if you feel your life just isn't in balance you really should give Integral Health a try...

I was very impressed by the service from Integral Health. I was contacted and offered an appointment immediately after contacting the centre. Ben Calder gave me excellent advice and managed to sort out my issues in only one session.I would highly recommend this clinic.
