Hello and welcome to my website. My name is Alison Hastings and I am a fully qualified Spinal Flow Practitioner, Acupuncturist, Tui Na Master Practitioner, KORE Consultant, and member of the Federation for Holistic Therapists.
I have lived with a chronic health condition for many years, so I understand firsthand how ill health and pain can significantly affect your quality of life and over-all wellbeing. After trying various medications and treatments, I couldn't find anything that provided relief. I thought, like many others struggling to find suitable solutions, I had to endure my symptoms.
As my condition deteriorated, my work pressures escalated and I became stressed, burnout and very much needing change. I was drawn to train in KORE Therapy and completely change my career. I set up my clinic within the beautiful grounds of the Crichton Estate in 2022 with the aim of providing a source of healing for those that wish to experience better health and wellbeing.
KORE Therapy is a unique system which uses a combination of techniques to identify and address the underlying causes of various ailments. Through my own personal and clinical experiences, I am continually amazed at the difference it can make. In fact, my business name 'Vitality' was inspired by how it can make you feel.
KORE takes some treatments from Traditional Chinese Medicine, an ancient healing system which I find fascinating. I embarked on a path to learn more about it’s principles to become a licensed Acupuncturist and Tui Na Master Practitioner.
However, I have continued to pursue knowledge in other healing techniques. I was intrigued by a different healing modality spreading across the world called Spinal Flow Technique. I instinctively believed in its potential and after a 7 day immersive training course in Barcelona in December 2024, I was blown away by its healing abilities.
I truly believe that profound healing can happen when the Life Force Energy, or Qi, within our body is stimulated in a positive way. Acupuncture and Chinese Massage aim to ensure a balanced and free flow of Qi throughout your body, while Spinal Flow Technique focuses on increasing its flow through the spine and nervous system.
All these methods are natural and allow our bodies to harness their innate intelligence for healing.
I look forward to supporting you in your healing journey.
