About Arlene Dunkley-Wood

Arlene Dunkley-Wood offers a comprehensive range of holistic therapies and practices designed to support wellbeing across all life stages, with particular expertise in pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care. Her services span sound healing, movement practices, therapeutic counselling, and complementary therapies, all integrated to meet individual needs.

In sound healing and breathwork, Arlene provides gong sound baths—transformative experiences that use sound frequencies to promote deep relaxation—alongside one-to-one breathwork sessions. Her movement offerings include pre-natal yoga, general yoga classes, yoga nidra (a guided relaxation practice that gives permission to fully relax), and qigong. She also runs small yoga retreats for local people seeking immersive wellness experiences.

For those navigating pregnancy and early parenthood, Arlene draws on her experience as a birth doula and birth educator. She has guided hundreds of women through pregnancy with yoga and breathwork, and offers pregnancy and postnatal acupuncture to support physical wellbeing during these transitions. Craniosacral therapy and therapeutic massage are available to help prepare the body for optimal birth and aid recovery afterwards.

Arlene is a BACP-accredited counsellor specialising in perinatal mental health, offering counselling and birth recovery sessions for those seeking emotional support. She also provides hypnotherapy and one-to-one general counselling sessions.

Her approach integrates complementary techniques including qigong, hatha yoga, and breathwork, tailored to each person's circumstances. Whether you are preparing for birth, recovering postnatally, seeking stress relief, or exploring deeper relaxation and self-awareness, Arlene creates a supportive space for healing and transformation.
