About Me

Hello!

I’m Shirley – an accredited complementary therapist offering a range of holistic treatments in Eastbourne.

For many years I have been interested in how holistic treatments can help an individual’s mental and physical wellbeing.

One of my goals in life is to educate and encourage the NHS to consider recommending more holistic treatments, rather than always prescribing drugs for every ailment. I have worked in the NHS for many years and know that there are consultants and nurses that agree.
I have my holistic treatment room at my home in Old Town Eastbourne, as well as the option to use another treatment room in the same area.

You are welcome to get in touch for a free telephone consultation to chat through your needs. I can then create a personalised treatment plan for you.

I originally hail from the Northeast but have been calling Eastbourne home for 35 years and counting.

My studies began with beauty therapy, but I soon realised it wasn’t for me and moved into complementary therapy courses, including Indian Head and Swedish massage. Ultimately achieving a Foundation Degree in Complementary Healthcare in June 2023.

The foundation degree covered several disciplines and a range of holistic treatments – namely Chinese medicine, reflexology for hands and feet, manual cupping, aromatherapy, nutritional advice and various types of massage – particularly remedial and sports massage.

I also went on to become a Reiki practitioner and achieved levels 1 & 2.

I am on a continuous learning and development path with holistic treatments – my latest course is Kinesiology, so I will be adding this service before the end of 2024.

What people have said ...

I have seen Shirley for aromatherapy and reflexology in Eastbourne - and enjoyed both holistic treatments. Shirley takes the time to explain treatments and after care. The environment is very relaxing and comfortable. Not rushed and value for money. Would highly recommend Shirley as a holistic therapist.

Shirley Cox did cupping therapy and sports massage on my back and it really helped me as a hairdresser. I couldn’t recommend Shirley more as a holistic therapist. The cupping was amazing. It didn’t hurt and it really helped. She spent a lot of time with me and was very calming. I will most definitely be having it again.
