For almost 50 years, Totnes Natural Health Centre has been helping the people of Totnes (and beyond) improve their health and wellbeing through high-quality complementary healthcare. As a registered charity, our mission is to make natural therapies accessible to everyone, whatever your circumstances.

Whether you're looking to ease pain, reduce stress, support your mental wellbeing or simply invest in your health, our experienced, fully qualified and insured therapists are here to help.

Our talented therapists generously donate their time each week, alongside our wonderful team of volunteers, enabling us to offer affordable treatments on a donation basis. We also work with local charity partners to provide free therapies for some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Suggested donations start from £20 per treatment for people receiving benefits, with a standard donation of £25–£55. A donation of £55 also funds a free treatment voucher for someone referred by one of our charity partners, including Stepping Stones Food and Wellbeing (home to the Totnes Foodbank) and SASHA in Totnes, which supports women affected by domestic abuse.

Alongside our therapies, we also offer talks, workshops and educational events to help you take an active role in your own health and wellbeing. Please see our current timetable (at the bottom of the screen) for more information.
