Ready to take the first step towards a pain-free life?

Welcome to Body Remedies. I’m Mel, a former NHS paramedic offering Bowen Therapy, specialist lymphatic drainage, TMJ therapy and scar release treatment from my clinic in Stoke Village.

Whether you’re looking for a gentle treatment, planning your recovery after surgery or want to explore your nutritional wellbeing, I’ll take time to understand what has brought you in and explain the next step clearly.

“I wouldn’t really believe that it was ever possible after having seen every different type of practioner, but obviously I hadn’t tried the magic of Bowen. I am now recommending it to everyone! Thank you for your wonderful healing sessions.”

K Bray, Bowen Patient

“Loved my lymphatic treatment at Body Remedies Plymouth. Mel always makes me feel at ease & is welcoming. Such a relaxing treatment. Can’t recommend her or the business enough.”

S Maunder, Lymphatic Treatment

“I visited Body Remedies with ongoing neck pain and I can honestly say Mel was amazing. She made me feel completely at ease from the moment I arrived and took the time to understand exactly what was going on. “

G Blunt, Bowen Patient

The ECHO Framework: Educate, Calm, Heal and Choose – stages of post-operative recovery by Mel Kingdom

Our specialist course for healing at home, pre and post surgery

You arrive home swollen, uncomfortable and emotional, suddenly questioning everything: Is this normal? Am I doing enough? Am I doing too much? When should I be worried?

ECHO was created to support you through that often-overlooked part of the surgical journey. It brings together clear education, emotional reassurance and practical recovery guidance, helping you feel more prepared before surgery and less alone afterwards.
