about
¡Hola!
I’m Ana Guerrero, original from Spain, a BSc level traditional Chinese medicine practitioner with many years of dedicated study and clinical practice and the creator, developer and teacher of Neuro-Rocking Release Therapy™ (NRRT™). In my holistic health clinic in York, I offer specialised massage therapy to help clients manage pain and recover from injuries, acupuncture to help with internal medical conditions and NRRT™ to help clients with mental health challenges.
What sets my holistic health clinic apart is my understanding of the intricate connection between the body, the mind, social and financial factors, religion and spirituality. Recognising how these elements impact our experience of pain, both emotional, physical and ailments, informs my approach. This holistic awareness permeates all my therapies, consistently yielding tangible and positive outcomes.
