Charlie Jackson Osteopath My name is Charlie Jackson. I am a qualified Osteopath from the London School of Osteopathy and graduated in 2021. I am fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council and a member of the Institute of Osteopathy. Much of my life has been based around sport and health particularly, which led to my career in Osteopathy and the passion for helping others. For the last 11 years I have worked in private practice’s in Essex as an Osteopath and Sports Therapist assisting patients with pain and returning to full function. Charlie treats a large variety of patients with musculoskeletal conditions, but has a particular interest in treating the origin of tension headaches, TMJ dysfunction (jaw pain) and cervico-genic headaches. Jennifer Scotchmer BSc (Hons) Ost Cranial Osteopathy and Osteopath I attended the London School of Osteopathy and in 2001 alongside Joanne Cole, qualified with a BSc Honours Degree in Osteopathy. Prior to qualifying as an Osteopath, I spent ten years working as a qualified nurse at the King George Hospital in Redbridge. In 2003 I set up The Clinic of Osteopathy in Upminster, which I continue to run seeing a variety of patients from babies, children and the elderly. I also treat many city workers who benefit greatly from both general osteopathic treatments and cranial osteopathy. I have a particular interest in treating clients with recurring headaches. I really enjoy being an Osteopath as I believe treating clients can greatly benefit their general wellbeing through the alleviation of pain, allowing individuals to fulfil their potential and enjoy doing the things they love. Jennifer is available for appointments on Wednesdays and once a month on a Monday Steve Turner Manipulative Therapist I had a career change in 2001 after many years as a London black cabbie. I trained with Jo & Jen at the London School of Osteopathy where I have since stood in to lecture and supervise when needed. I have spent many years playing rugby and nursing injuries, as a result I enjoy getting patients back to peak fitness as soon as possible. I am also qualified in dry needling and Epleys manoeuvre. After 24 years as an Osteopath, I have semi-retired.

Laura Codling (Dip SMRT NLSSM) Sports Massage and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapist and Level Two RockDoc In 2020 I graduated from the NLSSM with a BTEC Level 5 in Sports Massage and Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy and work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team here at Maypole Health. In 2021 I also became a certified Level Two RockDoc in kinesiology taping. I have always enjoyed learning about human anatomy and this interest grew when I injured myself whilst training for the London marathon a few years ago. It was whilst I was receiving various treatments that I realised I wanted to learn more and gain the skills to be able to help others that were maybe suffering from an injury or just require treatment for their wellbeing and the ability to stay mobile and active. I am fully insured and a member of the Sports Massage Association (SMA) as well as being registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), which ensures my high level of continual professional development. Laura is available for appointments Wednesdays and alternate Saturdays. Jas Bdesha Myo Fascial Release Therapist I’ve worked in the health and beauty industry for many years. Starting my career as a nurse and then moving into beauty therapy I discovered MyoFascial Release (MFR) in 2012 and was fascinated by what it could do for people suffering from pain and limited mobility. I embarked on a learning journey that resulted in my being awarded a High Merit Honours for The Professional Diploma in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage – BTEC Level 6 (degree level) and a Certificate in Advanced MyoFascial Release which includes Indirect Techniques and Structural Fascial Bodywork. That all sounds very academic, but what it means is that I can help people who are experiencing pain by releasing the fascia (a thin tissue that is wrapped around all our muscles, tendons, ligaments and internal organs). When we experience pain, it’s often because the fascia becomes stuck and loses its pliability. Releasing it and restoring its mobility is often the first step to recovery, removing the cause of pain and allowing free movement again. I’ve carried out research into the impact of MFR on ageing, which was really interesting – it was a positive study. Ask me about it when you visit. Jas is available for appointments at Maypole Health on Tuesdays. Lucy Littlewood BSc (Hons) MCSP Chartered Physiotherapist I am a Chartered Physiotherapist and member of the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have a genuine passion for helping people move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain. I take a hands-on, personalised approach to treatment – whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing long-term tension, or simply aiming to move and feel better day to day. I’ve worked with a wide range of people, and I always strive to create a supportive, relaxed environment where you feel heard and cared for. Before starting my physiotherapy journey, I gained valuable experience in sports and education, teaching dinghy sailing in the Mediterranean and supporting young people in both mainstream and SEN settings. These roles shaped my physiotherapy approach – practical, empathetic, and focused on helping people achieve what truly matters to them. Building on a degree in Sport and Exercise Performance (2011) and a Level 5 BTEC Diploma in Sports Massage & Remedial Soft Tissue Therapy from NLSSM (2016), I have continued to advance my clinical expertise with specialist training in oncology massage, RockTape (Level 2 RocDoc), cupping therapy, and IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation), all of which enhance and inform my physiotherapy practice. You can find me at Maypole Health on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays – I look forward to meeting you! Nicky Baker (LSSM Dip Clinical and Remedial Sports Therapist) Sport and Remedial Massage Therapist. I trained at the highly respected London School of Sports Massage; a year of intensive study of anatomy and physiology, as well as massage and advanced soft tissue techniques, culminating in obtaining a Level 5 BTEC Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy. By combining the variety of techniques I have in my ‘toolbox’, I am well placed to assess and treat clients, helping to alleviate pain and restore muscular and postural balance; working with them to help maintain optimal health and the pain-free function of their body. I’m a big believer that massage can be beneficial to everyone; be you an athlete, a manual labourer or merely someone who appreciates a regular body ‘MOT’; if you want to improve your posture and range of movement, while remaining healthy and active, massage needs to be a part of your life. I feel very fortunate to have such an exciting and rewarding job, and look forward to meeting you! Nicky is available for appointments at Maypole Health on Mondays and Wednesdays. Paul Godfrey MBAcC MRCHM Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine Paul has been practising Chinese Medicine since 2002. He studied Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture, and subsequently returned following his graduation as a lecturer and clinical supervisor. Paul is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC). Their practitioners practise acupuncture based on Chinese medicine principles that have been developed, researched and refined for over 2,000 years. Paul also practises acupuncture and Chinese medicine at The Brentwood Acupuncture Clinic. Paul is available for appointments at Maypole Health on Thursdays. Dee Witherspoon MAR, MFHT, CNHC Reg Reflexologist My background was in corporate businesses and I was the Head of Training for a blue chip Fund Management Company in London. I found Reflexology in 2010 and have never looked back. After qualifying, I felt as though I had finally found my purpose in life! I went on to qualify in Indian Head Massage, Hopi Ear Candling and Reiki. I also explored other areas within Reflexology, attending courses in Pregnancy and Fertility Reflexology, Hot Stone Reflexology, Mindful Reflexology, Baby Reflex and Lymphatic Drainage (both Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD). RLD can be particularly successful in reducing lymphodema after surgery where lymph nodes have been removed. Reflexology is an amazing complementary therapy – it can also work alongside conventional medicine. We all have reflexes on our hands and feet that relate to parts of our bodies. By applying pressure massage to these reflexes it can help de-stress and relax, and help stimulate the body’s own natural healing processes. Dee can be found here at Maypole Health on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Janet van Dam LCH (Member ACCT) Clinical Thermographer, Low Carb Nutrition Practitioner & Classical Homeopath My particular interest is in women’s health and metabolic diseases like Diabetes Type II, heart disease and cancer and improving health by reducing inflammation in the body through diet. Yearly thermal breast health checks and the right nutrition can help lower hormone activity and reverse symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease and lymphatic congestion in the armpits and breast tissue. This combination gives you an all-round service which can help you care for your breasts and body without doing any harm and puts you in charge of your health. In 2010 I trained as a Clinical Thermographer and Nutritional Coach. I am personally motivated why I chose this profession. My mother died of breast cancer age 51 from a tumour not spotted by mammography and my sister found her own tumours when she was only 28. Understanding that mammography cannot see well through dense breast tissue in pre-menopausal women, I decided to have a thermal breast screening myself in 2009. I was so impressed with the service that I decided in November 2010 to set up my own mobile clinic offering non-invasive breast (and body) screenings. Since this time, I have been working in Spain in a private GP practice and throughout East Anglia including the East Anglia Ultrasound Services, hoping to add an extra dimension to breast health care. Janet is available at Maypole Health by arrangement. Please contact reception for an appointment. Tami Kay Practice Manage I joined the Maypole Health Clinic reception team in April 2019 and you’ll find me working in the clinic on a part time basis on Mondays and Wednesdays. Previously I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mum to raise my children now aged 25 and 21, but now I love coming into work to look after our patients. Jo Perkins Part Time Receptionist I was welcomed into the Maypole Team in January 2024. I have seen may familiar faces in the Maypole Health reception having worked for many years in a local primary school. I have 3 grown up children and a grandson who keeps me busy. I enjoy walking my Labrador, going to the gym and socialising with friends and family. You will find me on reception on a Thursday and Friday. Vikki Sinnott Part Time Receptionist I was a florist for all of my working life working for the rich and famous in London and then having my own business here in Essex I then went on to have a son later in life so took a step back from flowers to be a mum and be with my family – I helped out at the clinic a few years ago so when they asked me to join the team on a Tuesday I jumped at the chance – I love helping the patients and staff and enjoy being part of a great team and seeing the results the clinic gives people With a busy family life I love reading when I get the chance, and being on or by the water and spending time with family and friends. You’ll see me on a Tuesday here at Maypole Health. © 2025 Maypole Health | GDPR Privacy Notice | Website by SEO & Web Ltd {"prefetch":[{"source":"document","where":{"and":[{"href_matches":"\/*"},{"not":{"href_matches":["\/wp-*.php","\/wp-admin\/*","\/wp-content\/uploads\/*","\/wp-content\/*","\/wp-content\/plugins\/*","\/wp-content\/themes\/medicallink-theme\/*","\/*\\?(.+)"]}},{"not":{"selector_matches":"a[rel~=\"nofollow\"]"}},{"not":{"selector_matches":".no-prefetch, .no-prefetch a"}}]},"eagerness":"conservative"}]} /* <![CDATA[ */ wp.i18n.setLocaleData( { 'text direction\u0004ltr': [ 'ltr' ] } ); /* ]]> */ /* <![CDATA[ */ var wpcf7 = { "api": { "root": "https:\/\/maypolehealth.co.uk\/wp-json\/", "namespace": "contact-form-7\/v1" } }; /* ]]> */ /* <![CDATA[ */ jQuery(function(jQuery){jQuery.datepicker.setDefaults({"closeText":"Close","currentText":"Today","monthNames":["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"],"monthNamesShort":["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"],"nextText":"Next","prevText":"Previous","dayNames":["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"],"dayNamesShort":["Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat"],"dayNamesMin":["S","M","T","W","T","F","S"],"dateFormat":"MM d, yy","firstDay":1,"isRTL":false});}); /* ]]> */

Yearly thermal breast health checks and the right nutrition can help lower hormone activity and reverse symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease and lymphatic congestion in the armpits and breast tissue. This combination gives you an all-round service which can help you care for your breasts and body without doing any harm and puts you in charge of your health. In 2010 I trained as a Clinical Thermographer and Nutritional Coach. I am personally motivated why I chose this profession. My mother died of breast cancer age 51 from a tumour not spotted by mammography and my sister found her own tumours when she was only 28. Understanding that mammography cannot see well through dense breast tissue in pre-menopausal women, I decided to have a thermal breast screening myself in 2009. I was so impressed with the service that I decided in November 2010 to set up my own mobile clinic offering non-invasive breast (and body) screenings. Since this time, I have been working in Spain in a private GP practice and throughout East Anglia including the East Anglia Ultrasound Services, hoping to add an extra dimension to breast health care. Janet is available at Maypole Health by arrangement. Please contact reception for an appointment. Tami Kay Practice Manage I joined the Maypole Health Clinic reception team in April 2019 and you’ll find me working in the clinic on a part time basis on Mondays and Wednesdays. Previously I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mum to raise my children now aged 25 and 21, but now I love coming into work to look after our patients. Jo Perkins Part Time Receptionist I was welcomed into the Maypole Team in January 2024. I have seen may familiar faces in the Maypole Health reception having worked for many years in a local primary school. I have 3 grown up children and a grandson who keeps me busy. I enjoy walking my Labrador, going to the gym and socialising with friends and family. You will find me on reception on a Thursday and Friday. Vikki Sinnott Part Time Receptionist I was a florist for all of my working life working for the rich and famous in London and then having my own business here in Essex I then went on to have a son later in life so took a step back from flowers to be a mum and be with my family – I helped out at the clinic a few years ago so when they asked me to join the team on a Tuesday I jumped at the chance – I love helping the patients and staff and enjoy being part of a great team and seeing the results the clinic gives people With a busy family life I love reading when I get the chance, and being on or by the water and spending time with family and friends. You’ll see me on a Tuesday here at Maypole Health. © 2025 Maypole Health | GDPR Privacy Notice | Website by SEO & Web Ltd {"prefetch":[{"source":"document","where":{"and":[{"href_matches":"\/*"},{"not":{"href_matches":["\/wp-*.php","\/wp-admin\/*","\/wp-content\/uploads\/*","\/wp-content\/*","\/wp-content\/plugins\/*","\/wp-content\/themes\/medicallink-theme\/*","\/*\\?(.+)"]}},{"not":{"selector_matches":"a[rel~=\"nofollow\"]"}},{"not":{"selector_matches":".no-prefetch, .no-prefetch a"}}]},"eagerness":"conservative"}]} /* <![CDATA[ */ wp.i18n.setLocaleData( { 'text direction\u0004ltr': [ 'ltr' ] } ); /* ]]> */ /* <![CDATA[ */ var wpcf7 = { "api": { "root": "https:\/\/maypolehealth.co.uk\/wp-json\/", "namespace": "contact-form-7\/v1" } }; /* ]]> */ /* <![CDATA[ */ jQuery(function(jQuery){jQuery.datepicker.setDefaults({"closeText":"Close","currentText":"Today","monthNames":["January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"],"monthNamesShort":["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"],"nextText":"Next","prevText":"Previous","dayNames":["Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday"],"dayNamesShort":["Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat"],"dayNamesMin":["S","M","T","W","T","F","S"],"dateFormat":"MM d, yy","firstDay":1,"isRTL":false});}); /* ]]> */

Testimonials Wendy ConnellI have been suffering with severe back problems and was recommended to see Jo. I booked an appointment and felt comforted that Jo knew what she was talking about. Jo has also fitted me in an emergency. Jo is an excellent osteopath and I would not go anywhere else and would recommend her every time.Wendy ConnellFrancesca HarringtonI have been seeing Jo for the last three months and she has worked miracles with both my feet and my shoulder. I had been with my last osteopath for over thirty years and had to find a new one due to her retirement. I was recommended to see Jo by my podiatrist as she has a strange fascination for feet. Her treatment has been extraordinary and I would recommend her as a brilliant and exceptional practitioner. Her approach is friendly and she has a great sense of humour. I feel completely safe in her hands.Francesca HarringtonGill ThorneA year ago, August 2014, I suffered a stroke and spent 5 weeks in Broomfield Hospital, followed by 4 weeks rehabilitation in St Peters followed by 6 weeks ESD (early supported Discharge) at home. Unfortunately after this I got a very bad virus and a few days later had a fall wrenching my left shoulder very badly (my weak side), so was unable to use my left arm and hand.I have known Jo for about 14 years and she always was there for me, so I made an appointment and she has been working on my shoulder, arm and hand for 5 months.Following a fall, I rang Jo and she came to see me, armed with rock tape which she put on my sprained ankle and foot and gave me instructions for using ice pack properly.That was a week ago and now healed and can walk. I really cannot thank her enough. As I said before, she is brilliant at sorting me out in a very professional and friendly way.She is taking on a new osteopath shortly who has done stroke rehabilitation and putting me on his list.THANK YOUGill ThorneStella McKennaJoanne Cole is an exceptional Osteopath. Working in sport I have had a whole range of injuries over many parts of my body and over many years. I wouldn’t let anyone else treat me as I know from the first 10 seconds Jo touches the site of my injury, my treatment has begun. She immediately gets to work and she has me back to good health and pain free quickly. I highly recommend her to you. You won’t be disappointed.Stella McKennaClient of Maypole HealthI have received treatment from Jo for a number of years, receiving treatment for a foot and then a back problem, she has always been highly professional in her approach and treatment. I have been impressed and respectful of Jo’s knowledge when treating me. More importantly Jo listens and ask relevant questions throughout the treatment and adjusts the treatment accordingly which is reassuring, making you feel as though you are a treasured patient.Jo has a holistic approach which is another important factor for me, the whole experience at Maypole Health is one of Professional Clinic, reassuring and one that has always worked for me in terms of treatment.I have recommended Jo to friends and colleagues and they too have found this to be the case, I would not trust my treatment to anyone else.
