THE COMBINED APPROACH:
The principle of the Combined Approach is that the body is a living, breathing, dynamic organism that has all the inherent resources and capacities necessary to do what it needs, to achieve optimum health.
Sam Fuller and Suzie Millns have developed a method of combining the two modalities of Personal Training and Craniosacral Therapy which encompasses all the elements required to create optimal health for their clients.
The Personal Training element focuses on the structure, function, mobility, muscular strength, core stability and cardiovascular capabiliities of the body, which then stimulates the fascial (internal connective) tissue and creates a dynamic platform for the Craniosacral element.
By focusing on the body in a gentle way, Suzie can identify subtle pulls, twists and tensions which may be distorting or restricting the natural movements and rhythms of the tissues and fluids of the body. Through gentle interaction with these tensions and twists - still with a very light touch - Suzie encourages a therapeutic response from the membranes, muscles, organs, nerves, blood vessels and all connective tissue (fascia) throughout the body.
Over a period of four consecutive weeks it is possible to achieve outstanding results.
Sam has a calm and balanced approach to his sessions, and Suzie creates a relaxing atmosphere which is very welcome after an hour of exercise beforehand!
ABOUT US

Suzie is a Craniosacral Therapist with many years' experience in treating people of all ages from new-born babies to the elderly. CST is a very gentle yet powerful treatment that primarily focuses on how the body expresses itself around the central nervous system. It is effective in treating an extensive range of conditions. Using a very gentle touch, Suzie works to explore how and where the body is holding tension and very gently encourages the tension patterns to release, thereby encouraging the body's inherent health mechanism to function at it optimum level.
BACKGROUND
Suzie began working with Sam as a client and has seen remarkable personal results, achieving much more than she ever imagined possible. Over several months and hours of conversation the common goal of a desire to increase the health capabilities of other eventually led to the creation of a working partnership. The principle being that PT works from the outside-in, and CST works from the inside-out and where the two meet 'Health' is achieved.
Their working relationship is formed on friendship, mutual trust and respect for each other, their Clients, the Individual and the Whole.
HOW THE COMBINED APPROACH WORKS
We request that clients book in for consecutive two hour appointments over a four week period. The first hour is a Personal Training session with Sam and the second hour consists of a Craniosacral Therapy treatment from Suzie. As well as being therapeutically beneficial, it is a very enjoyable way to work hard, exercise and then have a deeply relaxing and restorative experience.
After the initial four sessions, it is entirely client led. It is possible to continue with the Combined Approach or have separate appointments for either Personal Training or Craniosacral Therapy as desired, depending on your goals and reasons for treatment, which will be discussed in detail.
WHY DO I NEED FOUR SESSIONS?
In order for you to really feel the benefits! It takes time for our body to adapt and realign itself with new muscular patterns, strength, mobility and internal alignments. Four sessions is usually adequate to stimulate a new framework around which Health can be expressed in its many forms.
WHERE DOES IT TAKE PLACE?
Combined Approach sessions are held at Springfield Cottage in the heart of Sedlescombe. Two purpose built spaces have been created with each modality specifically in mind. Personal Training takes place in the Garden Studio - surrounded by trees, overlooking the garden it is a peaceful environment, ideally equipped for those who prefer some privacy when training. Craniosacral Therapy sessions are held in an annexe to the main house in a treatment room that is calming and comfortable. PRIVACY IS GUARANTEED AT ALL TIMES.
