Riley Dickson

Instructor

Riley’s spiritual journey began at the age of 20 after facing a series of significant life-changin events that deeply shaped his perspective. These experiences challenged him to seek meaning and connection, ultimately leading him to the path of healing and self-discovery.

The process of healing sparked a deep curiosity about the human body and its incredible
resilience. This curiosity led him to myotherapy, where he honed his skills in orthopaedic
assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Over six years, Riley developed a comprehensive practice that blends Eastern and Western modalities, including dry needling, myofascial release, cupping, and the treatment of Anatomy Trains—a holistic approach that views the body as an interconnected system.

However, Riley quickly realized that true healing extends beyond the physical. Inspired by his own
experiences with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and C-PTSD, he pursued advanced studies in psychotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy. His goal was clear: to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and to help others navigate their own paths toward wellness and self-discovery.

Anna

Instructor

Anna is a Spanish-born physiotherapist with over seven years of experience integrating physical,
emotional, and energetic healing. After earning her degree in Physiotherapy in 2018, she embarked on a journey to explore the connections between the body, mind, and spirit, culminating
in a unique therapeutic approach she calls Holistic Physiotherapy.

Anna’s career began in a rehabilitation center, where she specialised in trauma-related and postsurgical rehabilitation. Her extensive hands-on experience treating a variety of conditions provided
her with a strong foundation in anatomy, muscle and nervous system function, and hormonal
impacts on health. She later worked in a private clinic, expanding her expertise to focus on women’s health and pregnancy care.

Throughout her practice, Anna observed that many chronic conditions were deeply linked to emotional experiences. This realisation sparked her curiosity to explore healing methods beyond conventional physiotherapy. She traveled to Asia to study ancient practices, completing a Thai Massage course in Thailand and Yoga Teacher Training in India. Upon returning to Spain, she
became a Reiki healer, enabling her to address energetic blockages and emotional imbalances.
