Dr Bernadette Carelse has also studied a range of holistic therapies, specialising in Zen Shiatsu , Chi Nei Tsang  and EMDR.

Zen Shiatsu is a therapy developed from an understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, including knowledge of meridians and acupressure points, anatomy, physiology and aspects of Zen Buddhism.  It can be helpful for alleviating the symptoms of stress and promoting well-being.  Non-rhythmic changes in pressure induce a state of calm, relaxed awareness and healing.  Dr Carelse has been a qualified Shiatsu Practitioner since 1998.

Chi Nei Tsang is a Taoist therapy that focuses on the internal organs of the abdomen, and helps to sooth stress related symptoms and relax and deepen the breathing.  Dr Carelse specialised in this therapy in 2001.

EMDR is a therapy that enables the processing of traumatic experience.  Dr Carelse trained in this in 2022.  She is currently an EMDR Therapist in Training.

Dr Carelse has skills in other therapies, including Reiki (qualified in 1997), Reflexology (2000) and Aromatherapy massage (2001).  She also worked as a Shiatsu Teacher at the Zen School of Shiatsu, London from 1999 to 2013.
