The Cottage Healing Centre is one of the only places in the Staffordshire area to go for such a…read morewide variety of eclectic treatments, some traditional, and some alternative. Housed in one of Tamworth's oldest surviving buildings, dating from the 1200s, The Cottage is a not-for-profit co-operative of therapists and volunteers. It's located very near Tamworth town centre, just behind Caroline Jane Bridal. The therapies offered very depending upon the therapists practicing there, but on a regular basis, they offer Reiki, Hypnotherapy (approved by the British Medical Association for all sorts of ailments!), Counseling and Couple's Counseling, Hopi Ear Handles, Swedish and Thai massage, and Chakra charting. There is also usually a sports therapist or chiropractor on board. The therapists are all very friendly, soothing and some of them are even quite normal, despite having an interest in things that remain a mystery to the rest of us! The building is really gorgeous, retaining most of the original architecture from its first period. Parking isn't brilliant, so when you first go in, expect to maneuver in interesting manners - and that's even before you get inside, ba DUM sss! There is a shop in the front, selling all sorts of crystals, meditative guides, gifts and really unique home decor, jewelry and makeup. Some of the pieces of jewelry I get complimented on the most have come from The Cottage. It's a great place that adds a spice of life, and hey, if you need a massage, why not get it for cheaper than the going rate from a qualified therapist, and benefit a group of people that make the world a better place?
