Bates Method:

‘I am very happy to recommend Sally. She is not only caring and patient; she has a way of explaining and demonstrating that is practical, fun and inspiring. I was encouraged by changes in my eyesight even during the first session. Thank you. Sally.’

Themah, Glastonbury.

‘Sally has a very gentle, low key approach to teaching the Bates Method which takes away the anxiety from doing something which can initially seem quite strange. Her explanations are clear and appropriately pitched, and she notices if there is any hesitation or uncertainty and responds accordingly. She has an array of colourful objects with which to “play” so that learning the techniques becomes fun rather than a chore, and this in turn brings about the relaxation which is essential to vision improvement.  I think Sally’s knowledge of the Alexander Technique is also an asset as she can readily see how habits of tension, posture and movement can hinder relaxed seeing. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who has an interest in improving their vision.’

Barbara, Staunton.

‘Sally Kirk has really been interested in helping me with my eye problem. I have always been short sighted with dual vision but until recently had no particular worry with my eyes. I was getting older and so were my eyes! For a long time I have tried to follow – on and off – the BATES METHOD.   However last year I was shocked after being told I had macular pucker and then incipient cataracts  to experience not only such a lack of sensitivity but  so much confusion and ignorance by optometrists, conventional  doctors and eye specialists, both NHS and private. I was not given by any of these people either the time to ask questions, or any sensible information on the subject.  I was just told to come back when the eyes became worse! No attempt was made by these well paid professionals to give me advice as to how I could at least help the eyes from deteriorating further and no attempt made to help me actually improve my eye health.  There seemed too a general unawareness of the fact that a person’s general health and current circumstances has a bearing on ones eye health.

 I recommend and praise Sally Kirk for her complementary approach to eye health, and her concern for my problem.’
