This is Mr Woo, a life-size model showing acupuncture points (there are lots of them, as you can see!). Mr Woo came with us to our stall in the Orchards a while back, and he was also at our Open Day at Vinings Natural Health Centre itself. He was a great hit with younger visitors, and was the perfect way to introduce people of all ages to the concept of energy points around the body.

It’s a frantic time of year, isn’t it? End of term activities are building to a climax; summer holidays are just around the corner – and even the weather is being, well, summery! If you find that you are getting just too stressed out, take a bit of time out before your holiday. Yes, that’s right, de-stress before your holiday, so that you can enjoy your time away to the full. At Vinings Natural Health Centre you can choose from a tempting choice of massages, or perhaps some footcare to prepare your hard-working feet for summer sandals and sandy beaches? Reflexology can relax and unwind you, while acupuncture can work wonders on all sorts of summer conditions. Browse through our menu of treatments and therapies and see which catch your eye – then you can go off on your holidays knowing you’re in great shape at every level!

As locals will know only too well by now, there are serious – and long-term – roadworks in South Road, the main A272 that goes through Haywards Heath. Part of the official diversion brings cars along Church Road – right past the entrance to Vinings Natural Health Centre! We are using this opportunity to put more signage by the entrance to show drivers and passengers where we are – one man’s traffic jam is another’s promotional boost, as they say! We’ve had several outings and events in the past few months and what we have found is that, while lots of people have heard of us and know about us, lots more haven’t. Perhaps they are new to the town, or haven’t strayed behind the Orchards into Church Road – or maybe they are totally new to holistic and / or complementary therapies. In any event, we use any opportunity we can to let people know where we are and what we do, because we are proud of our therapists and the treatments they provide, and we know how much they can help people improve their overall wellbeing. And if you’d like to lower your stress levels from being stuck in traffic during the hot, sticky weather – we could recommend a lovely massage, or perhaps some acupuncture, or even some hypnotherapy: why not pop in and see for yourself?
