An Interview With... Sue Carberry Please tell us a few words about yourself, your life and interests and about your work.

SC: I'm a native Australian but, was granted British Citizenship and passport in 2003. London has been very good to me during the 16yrs I've lived here, after all I met my Londoner husband in 1991. I also really enjoy the "EEC Passport" queue at Heathrow instead of the long slow "Other Passport" queue.

My journey into Complementary Health started in Sydney 1987 with Reiki I, then following my mothers death in 1994, I went onto study Aromatherapy full time in 1996 (London). For the first time in my life I felt like a round peg in a round hole! Since then I've gone on to study Tui Na, Pulsing, Reiki Master/Teacher, Advanced Massage Techniques just to name a few. I had found my true calling in life.... MORE +

No Ordinary Massage
An interview with Sue Carberry, a therapist with many strings to her bow.

Sue Carberry's brainchild, 'Integrated Bodywork ®', is a holistic massage combining the ancient practices of Aromatherapy, Reiki Healing and Tui Na, a vigorous type of traditional Chinese massage, with the focus on healing your 'entire being'.

A trained counsellor, Sue also incorporates psychotherapy into the treatment by talking to the client to discuss any emotional problems before she gets to work on the massage.

The idea behind it, says Sue, is "to integrate all my experience and skills and tailor it to the needs of the individual client."

Well, skills and experience she has in spades. Sue first became interested in complementary health in her native Australia, where she completed Reiki 1 in 1987. Then, following the death of her mother in 1994, when she came into some money, she trained with the Tisserand Institute, and made the transition into a full-time Aromatherapist.

Ever the optimist, she insists: "That was a great gift my mother gave to me; the chance to do what I've always wanted."... MORE +

First Person - Body of Evidence
Can a combination of psychic healing and intense tui na massage cure depression?
Emma Simkins braved the bruises to find out.

When I split up with my boyfriend 24 hours after being made redundant, life seemed pretty bleak. It looked like my raging and crying on friends’ shoulders would never end until I heard about Sue Carberry’s Integrated Bodywork ®. Sue is a healer, reiki master and astrologer whose approach to alternative healing combines aromatherapy, reiki and a Far Eastern massage system called tui na (pronounced twee nah). Integrated Bodywork ® sounded just the physical and emotional pick-me-up I needed. A week later, I’m apprehensive when I arrive at the Langham Studio in London, but over a glass of pre-treatment water in her serene studio, Sue puts me at ease. This consultation is a prelude to the treatment, she explains, to help her understand why I’m here... MORE +

ALTERNATIVELY; Fabric's guide to complementary treatments.
Sue Carberry, Integrated Bodywork ®.
By Steven Short.

If a good masseuse knows exactly how hard to go without making you scream 'STOP, I CAN'T BEAR IT!', Sue Carberry is an excellent masseuse. Using Tui Na, a vigorous, deep-tissue traditional Chinese massage, Marylebone resident Sue shakes and wakes parts of your body you'd totally forgotten about. In my case this meant loosening a tight back ('You do slouch a lot, don't you? she rightly diagnosed shortly after we began) and easing my weary runner's legs ('There's a lot of tension in your hips')...

Thumbs Up.
Tui Na is a deep tissue massage from China that does more than just release tension.
Tania Ahsan went to Sue Carberry for a session that left her reeling.

On the day of my session with Sue Carberry, I merrily told all and sundry that I was going for a tuna massage. It is indicative of the special place that is the PREDICTION office that no-one batted an eyelid and all assumed that I was going to go have a large fish rubbed up and down my back. Tui Na is actually pronounced "twee-nah" and has nothing to do with fish but plenty to do those wonderful, opposable thumbs us humans are so proud of. A deep tissue massage, originating in China, traditional Tui Na uses eight different massage techniques and is a fairly stringent way to deal with physical and structural imbalance issues.... MORE +

What's the alternative?
Integrated Bodywork ®. combination of Aromatherapy, Reiki Healing and Chinese Massage is the perfect all-rounder, says Emma Van Hinsbergh.

What is it?

This therapy claims to focus on your entire being by combining three powerful techniques: Aromatherapy, reiki and Tui Na - a vigorous type of traditional Chinese massage.

What happens?

My treatment started with a personal consultation with Sue Carberry, a qualified reiki practitioner and Aromatherapist who discovered the incredible benefits of Tui Na during a trip to China.

An experienced healer, she exudes a great deal of warmth and awareness, much of it developed through inner work she has undertaken on herself. You really feel you can sit down and have a constructive chat about absolutely anything - in our case zodiac signs, holiday plans and family history. She's such a wise soul that I could have quite happily sat and nattered away for hours (It comes as no surprise to learn that she is also what you might call a "white witch" and fashions wands and staffs for Wiccan ceremonies). However, that's not I was there for and soon it was down to the business of my scheduled treatment... MORE +
