Dr Matt Gothill

Matt trained in craniosacral therapy with Franklyn Sills at the Karuna Institute, Devon, 2004-6. He has done post-graduate study with Mike Boxhall and with the Institute of Craniosacral Studies. Matt is committed to ongoing professional development and receiving appropriate supervision and support for his therapeutic work.

Matt also works as a GP in NHS inner-city primary care, having trained in medicine at Guy's Hospital 1977-1983. He also trained as a teacher of the Alexander Technique with David Gorman in London 1992-5. He has recently moved to Bristol from London, where he has two young-adult sons. His craniosacral practice is informed by his active interest in mindfulness, music and Qigong and large doses of life, migraine and psychotherapy!

Matt considers craniosacral therapy to belong more properly within the Art of Healing than the Science of Medicine, and makes no claims as to the evidence base for the effectiveness of this work. However he believes that the absence of evidence of an effect is not proof of its absence, and is confident that the emerging science of the future will embrace phenomena and experiences which the science of today regrettably excludes.
