Thrive London – Nutritional Therapy
Taru Towers Bsc (hons) NT, MBANT MIFM CNHC is a fully qualified and insured nutritional therapist and functional medicine model practitioner, living in North London, UK.
Through first hand experience, Taru knows the importance of being able to retain one’s energy and mental clarity in a competitive and often stressful work environment. Personal experience has demonstrated to her the potency of the right diet, exercise and mental hygiene in providing not only the capacity to reach personal goals, but thriving whilst doing so. A desire to pass this knowledge on to others is what Thrive London is based upon.
Highgate Hypnosis and Thrive London form a highly effective and vibrant partnership, providing bespoke weight-loss and stress management programs for private clients who wish to make lasting and profound changes to their quality of life. This is achieved through a combination of targeted Dietary Analysis and Nutritional Coaching, Hypnotherapy to address and transform the clients’ underlying patterns of internal dialogue and associated behaviors, along with a program of specific Qigong exercises for deep relaxation and stress-reduction.

Please check out the above link to my teacher’s website, Tai Chi Corner. Although I had been training for approximately 23 years before being introduced to Sifu Nathan’s work, I was searching over many years for a teacher who I could genuinely commit to as their student, thankfully I have found him.
The influence of Sifu Nathan’s teaching has had, and continues to have a profound effect on everything I do. Before I was introduced by my dear friend and teacher Paul Andrews (Sifu Nathan’s U.K. representative) I had no idea what it meant to ‘soften the body’, or how much unconscious habitual tension I carried in my body. So, I highly recommend that you check out Sifu Nathan’s website by clicking on the above link.
Richard is not only a wonderful cinematographer and video editor, but also a very experienced and knowledgeable Taiji, Qigong and Bagua practitioner. He has filmed and edited (beautifully I might add!) more than 95% of the videos on my website, and has a genuine understanding of not only what I do, but of how best to convey a visually soothing and peaceful feeling to the viewers.
Richard is also a dear friend who I wholeheartedly endorse, and who’s website link above contains a collection of all the free Qigong videos, which will be added to in the near future with a selection of very compatible instructional videos of his own. He also is responsible for starting the wonderful Simple Qigong Exercises Facebook group, which you can find here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/224080307615310/
This is where I teach most of my classes and one-to-one clients, here in North London.

Leon teaches functional fitness, Indian clubs and kettle bells, is a fantastic boxing coach, and an advocate of regular yoga practice.
The British Association of Therapeutic Hypnotists and NLP Practitioners, is the association which my Hypnosis teacher the late Dr. Vernon Bell was a founder member of in 1951, and which I am a member of.
A wonderful resource of practical information regarding Hypnosis in the U.K.
