Serpentine Wellness
Holistic and Compassionate Support for Balanced Living
You're doing all the "right things", eating well, doing exercise, maybe even meditating - but deep down, something still feels off.
You're tired. Not just physically, but emotionally and energetically.
You long for vitality, clarity and joy... but no one seems to understand how deeply you're craving change.
At Serpentine, we believe true wellness is a journey, not a destination.
Our mission is to empower everyone to move from exhaustion to vivacity so they can lead balanced and fulfilled lives through holistic practices and compassionate support.
Wellness isn't a one size fits all, and neither are we. Every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your exact needs and delivered with care so you can feel vibrant, grounded, and truly supported again.
About Me
My name is Jodie Mayhead and I am delighted to welcome you here.
A mum to four gorgeous teenagers, a family business and carrying out a house renovation project left me feeling fulfilled on one hand and burnt out on the other. I felt disconnected from my body, frazzled in the mind, my "spark" had gone and I was exhausted from carrying far to much on my own.
I tried to "fix" myself through fad diets and wellness routines that felt more like pressure than healing but was left with low self worth of not being able to stick to the plan or gain the results I craved.
Having always had a deep passion for wellbeing, I took time out, did the work and discovered that real healing doesn't come from pushing harder... it comes from reconnecting with the body's wisdom and allowing it to tell you what it truly needs. This realisation changed my life.
I believe that true health extends beyond the physical body. My work is rooted in the understanding that physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance are all essential parts of a vibrant life.
Whether through holistic treatments, mindful choices or compassionate support, I'm committed to helping others feel empowered, aligned, and thriving.
I hold a Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills, am a Level 2 Reiki Practitioner and qualified Systematic Kinesiologist (Cert. T.A.S.K) having studied with the prestigious TASK (The Academy of Systematic Kinesiology).
Working from my home clinic in Wiltshire I am a member of TASK UK, the Governing Body for Systematic Kinesiology and operate with full insurance.
If you're feeling called to reset and rediscover your optimal wellbeing, I would love to walk that path with you.

Kinesiology
2hrs - £115
Kinesiology (Kin-easy-ology) is a holistic approach to healthcare and one of the fastest growing complementary therapies in the UK.
Pioneered in the USA by Chiropractors in 1964 and brought to the UK by Brian H. Butler, Systematic Kinesiology uses gentle muscle testing to evaluate many functions of the body in the structural, nutritional, energetical and emotional realms.
Based on extensive tried and tested research a one-to-one session finds imbalances in the body and uses a series of techniques to bring the body back into balance.
Kinesiology is suitable for all ages.
What to expect from a Kinesiology Treatment?
First, We Begin With You:
Having already had your free consultation, we will start the session with a gentle conversation where we can explore what's going on in your life and any changes since we last spoke.
You don't need to have the "right words". Some clients will come with a specific health issue they wish to address others come saying "I just feel off, stuck or exhausted and I don't know why". That is more than enough. Kinesiology helps uncover the why beneath the surface.
Then, We Tap Into Your Body's Inner Wisdom:
You will remain fully clothed and relaxed. Kinesiology uses a technique called muscle testing, which acts as a biofeedback system to access your body's subconscious stress patterns. Think of it has a direct line to your body's inner truth, beyond the noise of the mind.
We gently test specific muscles to identify:
-
Emotional or energetic stress
-
Nutritional deficiencies and exactly what supplements you require
-
Endocrine & Digestive imbalances
-
Structural Issues
-
Beliefs or traumas affecting your wellbeing
Next, We Rebalance Your System:
Once we have identified what your body needs, we will use a combination of non-invasive therapeutic techniques and corrections to restore balance and flow encouraging your body to heal itself:
-
Physical blockages - Massage specific neuro-lymphatic points to clear congestion.
-
Energy corrections - Acupressure work and work with the energy meridians within the body to encourage energy flow.
-
Emotional clearing - Bach Flower Therapy and Emotional Release Techniques
Food Testing and Reiki are also integrated into the treatment where required.
No two sessions are the same, each one is uniquely tailored to where you are in that moment.
At the end of the treatment you will be offered a glass of water whilst we sit and discuss required supplements (vitamins, minerals and herbs), recommendations and an action plan moving forward. Supplements will need to be purchased online and a link with a discount code will be issued for you to do so easily.
How You'll Feel Afterwards:
Most clients leave feeling lighter, calmer and more centered - often with a deeper sense of clarity they didn't expect.
Some notice subtle shifts over the next few days like:
-
Emotional release
-
Renewed energy
-
Clearer boundaries
-
Better sleep, mood or digestion
The number of sessions required depends on the health issue and how long you have had it. It is normal to feel better after one session but for more profound preventative results, three to four sessions is often required.
Kinesiology is not only a treatment for existing symptoms but also a fantastic preventative therapy to ensure optimum wellbeing.
Kinesiology can help with a wide range of issues including but not limited to:
-
Digestive disorders (inc. IBS, constipation, indigestion, coeliac disease, acid reflux, crohn’s disease, SIBO)
-
Hormonal issues (inc. PMS, menstrual pain, PCOS, perimenopausal/menopause symptoms, endometriosis)
-
Immune issues (regular coughs and colds)
-
Depression, anxiety and mood swings
-
Tiredness, chronic fatigue
-
Allergies/food intolerance
-
Muscular or skeletal pain & injury
-
Headaches/migraines
-
Sleep problems
-
Skin problems (inc. Rashes, eczema, acne, psoriasis, excess sweating)
-
Learning difficulties in children and adults (inc. ADHD, autism, asperger’s, dyslexia)
-
Nutritional advice
-
Addictions
-
Phobias
-
Weight management (Weight gain, weight loss, eating disorders)
-
Autoimmune diseases
-
Circulatory problems (Cholestrol levels, blood sugar, oedema)
-
Thyroid & metabolism imbalances
Wellness Reset
1hr - £65
Short on time but still seeking clarity, calm and balance?
A "mini" Kinesiology session offers a powerful, bite sized version of my full sessions. Ideal if you're curious about Kinesiology, feeling energetically "off" or just need a quick reset.
What to expect from a Wellness Reset Treatment?
What We'll Focus On:
Even in shorter sessions, we can create meaningful shifts. We will focus on one clear intention or issue, such as:
-
Feeling overwhelmed or scattered
-
Low energy or fatigue
-
Emotional stress or anxiety
-
Trouble sleeping or relaxing
If you're unsure, that's okay - your body always knows where to begin.
What Happens During The Session?
We will begin with a quick check-in about how you're feeling and then move into gentle muscle testing to uncover imbalances and stress patterns in your body's energy system.
Depending on what comes up, I may:
-
Find the right supplements your body is craving
-
Trace the energy meridians and hold acupuncture points
-
Massage specific neuro-lymphatic points
-
Carry out simple corrections
-
Use Bach Flower Remedies for diffusing emotional stress
-
Perform grounding techniques leaving you feeling calm and aligned.
There is no pressure to talk deeply or have all the answers. This is your space to pause, reset and feel supported.
You will leave armed with knowledge from our findings and any required supplements (vitamins, minerals and herbs). Supplements will need to be purchased online and a link with a discount code will be issued for you to do so easily.
How You Might Feel Afterwards:
Even in short sessions, many clients notice:
-
A surprising sense of calm
-
Mental clarity or emotional release
-
A shift in mood or energy
-
The feeling of "coming back to yourself"
It's like pressing a reset button for your nervous system - gently but effectively.
Reiki Healing
1hr - £50
Reiki (Ray-key) is a gentle, hands on energy healing technique that activates your body's natural healing processes and is not tied to any religion, belief system, or spiritual practice. Whether you're spiritual, sceptical or somewhere in between Reiki works with universal life energy, something we all naturally carry within us.
It works by clearing blockages in your energy field and restoring balance often in ways that feel subtle but powerful.
What to Expect from a Reiki Treatment?
Your Session Will Feel Like This:
You'll lie down fully clothed with pillows or blankets as needed. You don't have to say or do anything - just rest.
I will place my hands lightly on or just above specific points on your body (like the head, shoulders, chest, abdomen, legs and feet), moving intuitively based on where your energy needs support.
Throughout the session, you may experience:
-
A gentle warmth or tingling sensation
-
Deep relaxation or a floating feeling
-
Emotional release (like tears, sighs or tummy gurgling)
-
Insights or images from your inner world
Many people fall into a meditative or sleep like state - and that's perfect. Your body will know what to do.
After Your Treatment:
Most clients describe feeling:
-
Calmer, clearer, and lighter
-
More connected to themselves
-
Less anxious or scattered
-
Gently energized or deeply rested
I always recommend drinking plenty of water, moving slowly and taking time for you after your session.
Reiki is not about "fixing" you - because you're not broken. It's about creating space for your system to unwind, reset, and return to the state it was always meant to be in: balanced, calm and alive.
Whether you are feeling tired, stressed, emotionally drained or just simply need a moment to reconnect... this is your invitation.
Come as you are, leave renewed.
Food Intolerance Testing
1hr - £50
Kinesiology-based food intolerance testing allows us to tune into what your body is truly asking for - and what is may be silently struggling to process.
Unlike allergy tests that only detect severe immune reactions, food intolerance often shows up as subtle, lingering symptoms that are easy to overlook or mislabel as "just getting older".
What to expect from Food Intolerance Testing?
Why Is Food Intolerance Testing Beneficial?:
If you feel bloated after meals, struggle with low energy, brain fog, skin flare-ups, or unpredictable digestion, food intolerance could be playing a bigger role than you realise.
Food intolerance testing helps identify which foods your body is reacting to, causing stress, inflammation or sluggish digestion.
Unlike food allergies which trigger immediate immune responses, intolerances often cause delayed ongoing symptoms such as:
-
Bloating & gas
-
Brain fog
-
Fatigue after eating
-
Headaches
-
Skin issues (eczema, acne)
-
Sinus congestion
-
Mood swings or irritability
How Food Intolerance Testing Works (In Simple Terms):
Using a gentle technique called muscle testing, I assess your body's energetic response to a wide range of common foods and substances.
There are no needles, no blood tests and no guesswork. Just intuitive, real-time feedback from your own body.
We will test for things like:
-
Dairy, gluten, wheat
-
Sugar and sweetners
-
Soy, eggs, nuts
-
Caffeine
-
Common preservatives or additives
You can also bring along anything that you feel may be relevant to test.
We can also identify the level of intolerance as to whether it would be best to remove completely from your diet or just reduce the quantity.
What You'll Leave With:
By the end of your session, you'll have:
-
A clear list of food/substances your body is currently sensitive to
-
Insight into how those sensitivities may be impacting your wellbeing
-
A plan for reducing or removing certain foods to support healing
-
Supportive lifestyle or supplement suggestions (if needed)
This is not about restriction or rigid diets. Its about tuning in, simplifying, and learning to listen to your body's cues with compassion.
What our clients say...
Lyn Alvis
“Jodie was great at taking the time to understand about my issues and found supplements that has made a huge difference not only to my energy levels, but also my skin and hair.
I have recommended Jodie to all my friends"
Kelly Clark
“Working with Jodie has been revolutionary. Not only has she been able to support me in managing my deficiencies which has been a life long battle, but her whole ethos on treating both holistically and spiritually has supported my journey in ways I didn't realise was needed. I am now a much healthier person in all areas, and that has become invaluable to me. I would highly recommend Jodie, it's not just a treatment, it's a game changer."
L.S
“I started seeing Jodie as was struggling with a flare up of my eczema. Jodie really helped explain the importance of gut health and making some basic lifestyle changes. She also found my body wasn't liking dairy and since cutting this out my skin has improved"
