Firstly I just want to thank Simon for the work he has done. I've only had 6 sessions and its turned my life around. My first visit I was more or less full of anxiety/stressed not knowing how or if I would ever get rid or be able to deal with my tinnitus, with the advice Simon gave me along with the Cranio therapy it has worked wonders. After my 5th session I had two days of quiet, I was so happy and I owe it to Simon. I went to be treated for my tinnitus and its changed me in terms of how I live my life, and how i deal with situations that come up on a daily basis. I used get stressed, but now I am calm I have 3 children and I'm a much more calmer mother than before. I see this as a lifestyle and I will continue to have my sessions with Simon once a month. I am the happiest I've ever been. (LH)

I came to see Simon with a fair bit of cynicism and trepidation. Suffering from a sudden onset of tinnitus I was desperate for help, but highly suspicious of cranial sacral therapy, which I’d never heard of before. Simon put me at ease immediately, and after eight sessions, my Tinnitus is 95% improved I would highly recommend Simon and cranial sacral therapy to anyone who finds themselves suffering from this ailment. He has been reassuring, calming and a major help in my recovery.(SB)


I was suffering with intense headaches and also lack of sleep, brought on by stress and London life!I have always been hugely into alternative therapies however had never actually tried out cranio, so was super excited when I knew Simon had started practising it. After the first session, which was truly so healing, I went home and slept for 11 hours which i haven’t done in since forever. By the end of the third session my headaches had almost totally subsided and I was sleeping so much better. I’m so hugely impressed by Si, healing hands and also very inspiring! (IL)

It's not an overnight fix but over the course of 6 sessions in combination with techniques Simon suggests you do at home, Simon helped me greatly to reduce the volume of my tinnitus and soften my hyperacusis that I had developed. Tinnitus aside, the sessions are also incredibly relaxing and have helped me feel more calm in general. I'd definitely recommend (google review)

Simon was very helpful, not just with the craniosacral therapy, but also with his knowledge and advice on how to develop ones own skills with dealing with tinnitus. He carefully records each session allowing one a clear perspective on progress. The cranio sessions were also deeply relaxing for which I was very grateful. (MS)

My tinnitus had become a lot more prominent following a few gigs and some bad setups. I had 5 sessions with Simon and it has barely been noticeable since we finished our course. As Simon will be the first to tell you, you have to be committed to leading a lifestyle that will help reduce your symptoms - he can't do it alone. I have been living healthier, taken up yoga, working to become less stressed and anxious and all of this in combination with Simon's treatment seem to have done the job.(BG)

Would highly recommend Simon. I've been seeing him recently for cranial in relation to tinnitus. The sessions are very helpful for this as well as general mindfulness. Not only has it helped change the way I perceive the tinnitus, but opened my eyes to meditation and wellbeing so thanks again! (WB)

“I found the reflexology rooms at The Crypt in De Beauvoir a comfortable space to have a reflexology session and Simon’s reflexology really helped me with boosting my energy levels and a big bonus was my feet felt so light afterwards” (LB)

Would highly recommend this therapy and Simon in particular, especially if you’ve suffered tinnitus from loud music exposure. I always thought there was nothing you could do to help once you get tinnitus; every doctor always says there is no cure and you’re stuck with it and therefore you are left a bit helpless. A friend recommended Simon and I’m so pleased I went through the therapy. I learnt a lot about how to manage it and it opened my eyes to how therapy can make a huge impact. After 5 sessions, my tinnitus has hugely subsided but more importantly I don’t notice it anymore and can crack on. It’s also great working with Simon who has spent so many years in loud clubs and it gives you confidence in the therapy because it has worked for him, so he can really relate to your circumstances. (SP)

Simons session left me feeling super grounded and I slept so well that night. Definitely be back for more of this magic. (PR)

Simon helped me with my tinnitus, full stop. I think the condition is related to loud noise / stress due to a major medical scare. To be honest I was very much sceptical of craniosacral (still don't understand it and still am sometimes!) but the combination of his bedside manner from someone who has suffered first hand, established approach with useful off-session information and the experience of the sessions helped me and this is what matters at the end of the day. The volume has reduced and so has the degree to which I care about it, which in turn is making it quieter and quieter over time (to me, not caring is the key bit here but tough to crack on you own over the same time period - if it was, you wouldn't have this particular condition to start with in my modest opinion). It will get better, that's the important bit! I recommend giving it a go for at least a few sessions if you suffer with the condition. (LDB)

I have been doing great after I saw you. It has been pretty amazing actually what I have achieved from Tuesday and I truly believe I can only thank you for that. My headache also disappeared and I just felt calmer and more positive plus that blockage I felt that was stopping me from moving forward  and healing lifted. I think it is a great treatment for me which I would like to continue regularly. (LU)

 

My first session with Simon was incredibly relaxing and felt instantly beneficial. It’s obvious that this work is very deep and layered and the effects seemed to last long after the session. I run one of the larger yoga studios in East London so I’m no stranger to therapeutic body work - I’m more than delighted to recommend Simon to my students and colleagues and believe everyone can benefit from this work. Thanks Si, looking forward to the next session! (CF)

I have been a tinnitus sufferer for around 5 years and like a lot of people, I thought my life was over when I first got it. I would say it took an extremely difficult and painful 3-4 months to habituate but then to be honest, it very rarely bothered me after that asides from noticing it in bed at night and in the morning. Fast forward five years and one day I noticed a pitch change in my right ear and the initial panic from five years earlier set in, over the next few days it felt like the tinnitus had come back as strong as ever out of nowhere. I was so upset and felt incredibly hard done by, it put me back into a very horrible place with something I thought I had come to terms with.

I had followed Simon on instagram for a long time after I saw a few other friends that also work in the music industry share his page. I was feeling incredibly desperate after a few weeks of the tinnitus not budging or subsiding and so reached out via email. What followed I can only describe as miracle-like, it is now 6 weeks later and the tinnitus is now back to a level where I am hardly noticing it again.

I honestly could not recommend the craniosacral therapy enough, coupled with the tips that Simon gave me (thankfully most of them I already had in my daily routine) of cold water therapy, meditation, exercise and also some self-massage therapy - something which I had not tried - I have managed to make an incredibly fast recovery that I will be forever grateful for. It has also given me great comfort that should i have another flare-up, there is a way to treat this. (BA)

I ABSOLUTELY loved my session and have told about 50 people about you. I felt very happy and relaxed and connected, it was really magical.  Thank you! (VS)

Following osteopathy treatment, I booked 4 sessions of Cranio-Sacral Therapy to help soothe and settle my physical body. Each session exceeded my expectations in releasing some quite surprising memories in a calm and gentle manner. By the fourth session, I felt I had had a complete cleansing of old debris that had been clogging up my system for years. A bit like a plumber installing a new boiler and flushing through the system so that it works more efficiently. Thank you 'magic plumber' (WB)

The very new age idea of 'looking after yourself had always seemed a foreign concept to an old schooler like me, but as much out of intrigued, than of any perceived need, I decided to visit my old friend Simon Baker who in recent years has trained and graduated in the art of Craniosacral Therapy. His flyer claimed to help relieve a plethora of symptoms, which to a man brought up in an age, where your only option was a couple of Nurofen and a nap, I was a little sceptical but it was obvious from the start that this was modern day voodoo was working it's magic where it was most needed and still is as we speak! If like me you're intrigued, or just shattered, blow par or just want to be a little better inside and out, then drop him a line, he will give you an informal breakdown of the practise and it's core ideas. Thank you sir, my zen is a ten! (KB)

 

I suffer from tinnitus as a result of scuba diving. Having exhausted 'traditional' medical routes, I am now embarking on Cranio treatment with Simon, alongside acupuncture to try and lessen the impact this is having. In my first treatment with Simon he identified a couple of on-going issues that I hadn't disclosed which may or may not be linked to the tinnitus, and it being my first experience of the therapy, I found it really fascinating that he was able to pick up on this. The treatment was super relaxing, and I am interested to see how things progress after a few regular sessions.(SW)

 

I loved my treatment with Simon. It was my first time having Cranio and I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd had an awful, recurring headache in my brow and eyes, which dissipated soon after. The holds were gentle but really powerful and I was releasing all over the place. Simon is calm and kind, with a great straight forward manner. I'm rebooking as soon as I can. Thank you Simon. (SS)

 

I tried cranio out of curiosity rather than having a particular problem to work on and found that it left me feeling grounded and reinvigorated. Simon released all the tension from my body, particularly in my head and jaw, which I hadn’t even realised were holding so much. His warm and friendly personality made me feel at ease and his passion and knowledge for his craft shine through – highly recommend (CS)

 

I highly recommend Simon. His treatments are incredible! (JP)

 

I've had migraine issues since a child. Simon suggested I try Cranial-Therapy which has so far really helped me out. Will definitely have more treatments moving forward. (SM)

 

I really enjoyed this relaxing and subtle treatment with Simon in a cosy and ambient environment which instantly made me feel at ease. I have heard countless cases of friends with head injuries and migraines turning to cranial therapy for help with pretty astounding results. Looking forward to more treatments with Simon as I understand, like most effective therapies that lead to lasting change, it's a gradual process. (MC)

 

I have had two sessions of cranio-sacral therapy with Simon, and after both left feeling totally relaxed and much calmer. I highly recommend. (CR)
