About me
Hello, my name is Stuart Morris.
My friends, family and clients know me as a Holistic Therapist in Birmingham.
Twenty years ago I was a self employed builder working 13 hours a day and laying up to 1000 bricks a day.
If someone had said to me back then that in the future I would be treating people with therapies such as aromatherapy and reflexology, or even teaching yoga, you can imagine my reply!
It's been quite a journey from who I was then to who I am now.
In 1989 I was diagnosed with a form of cancer known as Non-Hodgkins Disease, a devastating, life threatening illness. Yet strangely, this life threatening illness was to be my turning point and my saving grace.
I had surgery to remove the tumors. Then followed scans and hospital tests, followed by ever more tests. My treatment ended with twenty sessions of radiotherapy. It was, without a doubt, the most terrifying and devastating experience in my life.
I experienced every symptom of anxiety - palpitations, shaking, chest pain, back pain and tachycardia - to name but a few. For this, I was given medication and a relaxation tape which I used in the hospital after the radiotherapy sessions.
I would lie down and listen to the sound of a woman's voice and I found it soothed my exhausted body and weary mind.
Two things will always remain with me from that time. Two things that shaped the way I help treat the people i see today.
The first was a very kind nurse who would sit and talk to me. From this I realised that the right word, spoken at the right time is one of the most powerful forms of healing anyone can receive.
The second was given to me by my wonderful daughter, Jade. She was then three years old and she would crawl into my bed and snuggle up close to me, holding my hand as if in reassurance, until we both fell asleep. I then came to realise the phenomenal healing power of a simple, caring touch.
Shortly after finishing my treatments I joined a yoga class. I paid my money and head down, entered a class full of women. I lay on the floor embarrassed, hoping no one had seen me. But soon that feeling of awkwardness came to pass and now I realise that it should never have even occurred. Yoga is now the foundation of my life, a level from which I can give from, a voice from which I can talk to people.
Several years ago my Yoga teacher asked me if I wanted to train as a teacher and I have never looked back. I feel blessed to be able to pass on the wisdom of 6,000 years of this teaching.
Shortly after my illness I started exploring other natural therapies. I studied 'Touch for Health,' Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Massage, Nutrition and Herbs, anything that would be beneficial to improving my wellbeing. What started out as a journey to preserve my own life, health and happiness, soon blossomed into something far greater and I knew beyond any doubt that my life needed to be dedicated to helping other people,Wonderfullywell was born out this need and has developed into a team of health practitioners at our disposal of the highest quality.
We combine the knowledge and wisdom of thousands of years of natural therapies and techniques. We use these together with the healing power of the encouraging word and the healing touch, offering a whole, holistic approach that proves to be very effective in easing the system towards health and wellbeing.
Dedication
This website is dedicated to the two most special people in my life, my children Jade and Nathan.
I would firstly like to thank Jade who, in her innocence, helped me through a very difficult part of my life with her love.
Secondly, I would like to thank Nathan who was very much the inspiration for the naming of this website, and who is a very important part of who I am.
To both of my children, I hope you will forever
Wonderfully Well...
