The Rowan Tree Centre for Health, Bristol

Healthcare that encompasses the whole person

Your Trusted Holistic Doctor

Welcome to The Rowan Tree Centre for Health in Bristol - a sanctuary for integrative medicine and anthroposophical therapies that nurture the whole person. Our experienced team of holistic doctors and therapists offers personalised care that blends conventional medical insight with natural remedies and complementary therapies.

At the Rowan Tree Centre for Health, we are passionate about a type of healthcare that encompasses the whole person. We endeavour to support our clients on their health journey, with its many dimensions - physical, social, emotional and spiritual.

By working collaboratively as a team, incorporating movement, art therapy, massage, counselling and natural remedies, we are able to support our clients' healing processes from a variety of angles. We offer an initial consultation with a holistic doctor and together we develop a personalised therapeutic plan tailored to every person's individual needs and preferences.

Most of our therapists are trained in anthroposophic therapy, which inspires their work and informs their approach to both health and illness. By working together, we provide a therapeutic space where clients are supported not only on their journey towards better health but also in their personal growth towards reaching their full potential.
