You’re in safe, skilled hands with Gayle Hocking

B.Ost. P.O.D. CESMT. FSCCO. B.A. (Hons)

With over 20 years of experience in osteopathy, specialist training in paediatrics, and as a trauma-informed somatics teacher, I support people who feel like no one’s quite listened — until now.

After witnessing countless people struggle with recurring symptoms, I developed an approach that addresses not just what hurts, but why it hurts. My background includes science-backed trauma training, and extensive study of the body’s natural healing systems.

I bring deep compassion and genuine care to every session. I work hands-on, heart-open, and science-informed. From pain relief to nervous system re-training.

More About Gayle

What to Expect: A Gentle, Guided Approach

Whether we work in-person or online, every session starts with listening — to your body, your story, and your symptoms.

Using a blend of advanced technology and whole-person care, we identify the underlying factors and support your body’s natural healing process.

You won’t be rushed. You won’t be judged. And you won’t be given a one-size-fits-all plan.

Customer Testimonials

5 star rating
After sustaining a back injury while training for a Half Marathon, I was recommended to visit an Osteopath and Gayle came highly recommended. Gayle performed a full assessment, reviewed my MRI scans and put together a plan. She used a combination of massage techniques to release extremely tight areas and followed on with Somatics exercises. With each session there was a notable improvement in my condition, movement and pain. I have since been able to get back to normal life, back to cycling. I highly recommend Gayle who goes above and beyond.

I have been seeing Gayle for many years for a number of issues. I have multiple sclerosis and this causes pain and numbness throughout my body. I also put my back out on a regular basis. Gayle is the best practitioner I’ve seen for my issues. I’ve received physio and acupuncture for my shoulder/back pain and it did not make half the difference Gayle has. Gayle is always learning new skills and techniques to help her clients as well. She is amazing!

My entire family have been seeing Gayle on and off for 6 years. From helping my son with migraines to my daughter with respiratory issues, plus me & my husband with back problems, which Gayle helped us all to resolve. The HILDA treatments took us from feeling sluggish and lacklustre to understanding how to improve our health. Gayle has had such a positive influence over our whole family’s life. I honestly don’t know where we’d be without her.

About Osteopathy & Somatics

Osteopathy and somatic movement offer a comprehensive approach to supporting your body’s natural healing. Combining hands-on osteopathic treatment with gentle, mindful movement, you experience immediate comfort while developing greater body awareness.

Osteopathy

Structural Osteopathy looks at the whole body to understand the cause of pain and imbalance, not just the symptoms. Osteopathy is suitable for all ages, from babies to the elderly.

Using gentle, hands-on treatment and a deep knowledge of how the body works, it aims to restore balance, ease tension, improve movement, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

Somatics

Somatics uses gentle, mindful movements to retrain your nervous system and release chronic pain patterns—naturally.

Many people develop “sensory motor amnesia” — where muscles may remain chronically tight because the brain has learned patterns that keep them contracted.

About Cranial Osteopathy & Vitafield HILDA

When we feel emotionally drained, our body can reflect this through tension and imbalance. Our approach combines evidence-based techniques with advanced technology to provide deeper insight into how your body is functioning — so we can guide you, or your child, toward long-term health and natural resilience.

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial osteopathy is a gentle, whole-person approach that works with the body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. Delivered with specialist care, it helps to release tension and restore balance at every stage of life. It considers:

  • How the body moves and holds itself – addressing alignment and patterns of strain
  • How the body functions physiologically – supporting tissue and fluid health
  • How energy flows – promoting vitality and emotional balance

Frequently asked questions

Global Diagnostics is a device developed by Vitatec that records and displays information about the body’s responses to very low electrical impulses. Medically trained practitioners use this information as part of a holistic wellness consultation. It does not replace conventional medical testing.

The appointment contact time is up to an hour. The practitioner will spend some further time, outside of the appointment, analysing the reports in conjunction with your full case history, to formulate a tailored treatment plan.

You lie down while two electrodes are gently placed against your skin, often on the feet. The measurement takes around 8 minutes. The process is painless and non-invasive.

No special preparation is needed. Wearing comfortable clothing and avoiding creams or lotions on the electrode areas is helpful.

Adults of all ages can choose to have a session. Children may also participate if they can remain still. It is not suitable for anyone with a pacemaker, transplant patients, during pregnancy or anyone with implants.

The device uses very low electrical impulses (much lower than everyday household devices). To date, no harmful side effects have been reported. The device has been used by health practitioners in Europe for over 30 years.
