"In the last 12 months, 12 million adults have used some form of complementary medicine or therapy" 
Mintel 2009

 
Here are some complementary - and more conventional - health practitioners and body workers, in and around St Albans who I've heard are great at what they do.  

I've been treated by some and can personally recommend them.  Those I can't personally recommend I've either met and been impressed with, or they've been recommended to me by people I respect.  

However, I would advise you talk to them for yourself to see if they are right for you before making an appointment.  I'd love to hear your feedback regarding any of these practitioners.
