John is the best therapist I have ever worked with. I have been in the therapy world, including becoming a Counsellor for over thirty years and so have great experience in the field.
I worked with John as his client from April 2023 to Autumn 2025 in three stages with time in between.
Without being over simplistic, the first stage was concentrated on the overwhelming grief I felt for the loss of my son.
The second was more about the unconscious influence of early trauma in my adult life and the third was establishing a different, healthy identity.
The zoom sessions were remarkable in that a deep trust developed in me, despite us never having met in the flesh.
For part of each session, John works in the Mystery and then gives feedback, which is shared and discussed between us. I acknowledge that with him accessing the Mystery, enables a different and extraordinary depth to healing.
I also know that he has the exceptionally flexible gift of responding individually to each client in a way that meets their deepest needs. I know it to be true having discussed this remarkable capacity with my sister, who is also his client.
To work with John, one to one, is a real privilege.
Thank you John,
Barbara (Boxhall)
I asked God to bring me someone that could help me. I was sick, disconnected, broken. Then God bought John into my life. Little did I know my life was about to change in ways that I could ever imagine.
John treated me via distant sessions. He was always kind, compassionate, caring & most of all he listened. He listened to me in a way that nobody had ever listened to me before.
Week by week things started to move, to shift, to ‘re-organize’. It was very subtle to me at first but then it started to become more & more apparent.
I was in the Alchemical Flask. The fire was burning. John helped facilitate that process for me as the druss burnt and the refinement took place.
He never left me to do this alone. He was there for me when I needed him. He saw me lost & helped direct me on this path. He spoke the truth. He taught me pearls of Wisdom.
I then started to realise that every time I saw him I would Know, I would Remember. He showed me what Pure Love really looked like. What Peace & true Joy really was. It was a profound process of Realising that actually – I *AM* Already Whole.
I Was Never Broken.
He helped me to heal my Heart.
He is my therapist. My friend.
John Dalton I will always remember what you did for me & forever be grateful.

Firstly John is kind and thoughtful, his sense of calm from being present with himself and being at one with the natural flow of life, instantly I know my intuition has guided me to the person that can help. I believe John’s listening skill from a kind, gentle heart is one of his greatest skills.
He is generous with his depth of knowledge from his own experiences and shared knowledge of direct experience with all the past people he has helped while being aware our own experience are unique to us.
John helped me in so many ways. I have a new sense of calm. And I feel that the parts of me that were fearful, hurt and angry about my issues are transformed and integrated to now helpful loving parts of me.
I observe myself speaking and acting from a non judgement place more and more towards myself and others. I know my heart has softened with a gentle knowing I am ok.
And at times when life seems hard and tough, I remember the helpful tips John shared with me to let my life chaoses past through me or to stand and face those emotional pains I can just be present with.
Many thanks John

John has been like an angel of grace for me.
He is fully, openheartedly present and engaged, and oh so skilled…He’s wise, talented, original, creative, resourceful, and generous.
He’s warm and funny too.
During sessions, I felt as if he was a guardian and protector of my truth, the truth of my essence.
He held a space in which I could just spill all of me and then reintegrate those fragmented parts of myself back into wholeness.
He held my hand towards experiencing a freer life with new perspectives, wider horizons, and possibilities.
I am transformed, healed from deep within, more present.
I feel more alive and live life more fully.
I am now more embodied, grounded, with a stronger foundation.
I’m better connected, attuned, and calm.
I have energy, am healthy and happy.
My patterns of struggling and surviving have been dissolving and I feel that I have arrived here.
I can love and receive love with less impediments, and receive life’s blessings and gifts…and enjoy them.
I feel like I have more time and space…can be more present to myself, feel my desires and my needs and attend to them.
I trust more and am more open.
I have reunited with my essence…and live from it more and more.
I’m renewed…
My journey with John has been priceless towards a life of happiness, freedom, and health that I thought couldn’t be possible for me.
John, Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I’ll forever be grateful for you and what you’ve done for me!

When I first came to John, some 20-odd sessions ago, I had endured 4 years of “Multiple Chemical Senitivity,” that is severe allergic responses to all chemical substances. So much so that leaving the house was hazardous.
Neither doctors nor consultants had any answers. Morale and motivation was rock-bottom and I had reached the end of my tether.
John has decades of practice behind him and was immediately confident he could improve my situation. I found this reassurance very comforting and after just a few sessions my spirits had lifted considerably and I was able to take on more.
Now, after several months of treatment, I find my symptoms have improved by over 50% and I’m living a largely productive and care-free life again.
John is a treasure, one of those rare healers who is dedicated to his craft, can intuitively feel into the energy blockages in your being and release them and raise your spirits and health levels with quiet confidence and assurance.
I’m very grateful to him for turning my life around and I continue to conduct weekly sessions.

I was recently given the image of a buoy floating on the surface of the water, representing life and its tumultuous movements, attached to an anchor, a metaphor for the practice of meditation.
John is a bit of an anchor for me.
I remember contacting him around 2010 for the first time when I reoriented myself towards CranioSacral therapy and the development of a holistic healthcare practice.
His perspective is something I regularly go back to because it keeps me grounded and helps me grow.
There is something different, refreshing, and bold about his outlook, and in my experience, it is communicated with the utmost respect and with deep attunement.
I am grateful for his presence and insights over the years that have contributed significantly to the therapist I am today.

I can live again pain-free . . .
I can give John the highest possible reccommendation.
Absolutely brilliant Craniosacral therapist!
John has been an amazing help.
I had a lot of back pain and I could not walk properly.
After 2 sessions, I had already seen massive improvements.
After 8 weeks I can live again pain-free.
I truly couldn’t recommend his services highly enough
I will certainly return if I ever have a problem again.
Thank you John for your help,

Baby not sleeping . . .
Dear John,
Just a short note to you to thank you so very much for what you did for our little boy Brian. When he came to you he was 21 months and hadn’t slept a night through, his mood was erratic and he was not a happy little boy.
After four sessions with yourself I can safely say that Brian’s quality of life has improved significantly he is sleeping (mostly) from 8pm – 6am and he is a happy contented lovable little boy.
I want to thank you so much for giving us the little boy that I knew was hiding below the surface. Our family life has improved immensely and with sleep, anything is now possible!!
Apologies for not sending this note sooner – I kept thinking we might need to come back for a visit.
Kind regards,
D.M. and Brian.

Dizziness, headaches, lack of ability to concentrate and general fatigue . . .
When I first came to see John in early 2006 I was feeling so down and totally out of hope for recovery.
I had been sick for more than two years with almost no sign of recovery whatsoever. I had seen all kinds of doctors (mostly neurologists) and I had even had my head scanned.
Further, I had seen a lot of chiropractors and therapists, including other craniosacral therapists.
I suffered heavily from dizziness, headaches, lack of ability to concentrate and a general fatigue which made it impossible for me to do anything without getting tired and feeling totally worn out.
However, all of this changed radically when I went to see John. Already after the first session, I felt significantly better the following week. I was amazed and my condition just kept getting better and better over the next 4-5 months until I was almost 100% okay.
Today, I experience only very insignificant fatigue when I work extremely hard. But I guess that’s even pretty normal, so I think it is fair to say that I have fully recovered.
Thank you very much for this, John!! And to all you guys out there of coursethere are no guarantees when it comes to illness, but you have also got a chance!
And John’s way of doing things may very well work for you!
My case is a very good example of that.”

Bipolar disorder. . .
“Dear John,
This is a letter to say thank you. When I came to see you I can’t say I had any great trust in you or craniosacral therapy either. But I knew that my bipolardisorder was quite literally threatening my life and I needed help. You gave me that help and I can only say how grateful I am to you.
I never thought I could ever live a ‘normal’ life, but now I do, and it’s thanks to you. (Hey, that’s poetry!)
Thanks, John.”

“THANKS A MILLION.
John,
Just a few lines to thank you for the help and treatment you have given me throughout my illness. You not only helped me but you gave me encouragement.
The medical profession gave up on me whereas you didn’t.
You saved me from going for an operation and for that I am truly grateful.
Best wishes for the future. “

Recovering from major brain surgery . . .
“I first came across John’s healing sessions while recovering from major brain surgery. Thankfully I am now fully recovered and I know that John was a key in that recovery providing a fundamental building block of support and healing strength.
The beauty of John’s healing is that it encompasses the whole person, not just the physical and he works with an amazing sense of humor, lightness, and love.”

Spinal injury . . .
“A spinal injury was the reason I discovered craniosacral therapy. Not only did I find physical relief from my daily pain, I also found a pathway to the core issues in my ’emotional life.’ I now move into a place of inner peace and happiness and a deep rooted appreciation of life – without the discomfort.”

Severe pain in neck and shoulders . . .
“I had Craniosacral Therapy for severe pain in my neck and shoulders. During the treatment, I experienced a state of deep relaxation and wonderful healing.
My neck and shoulder pain is gone and many other little complaints disappeared. My health has improved greatly, I am feeling more secure and my energy level has increased beyond my wildest dreams.”

High blood pressure, irregular heartbeatand not sleeping . . .
“When I first attended John Dalton I was suffering from high blood pressure, irregular heart beatand had not slept properly for approximately two months. Although initially skeptical, after the first session I was quite convinced that it was effective.
My sleep pattern immediately improved and my chest pressures eased.
The power of this treatment has been that it did not just cure the physical and most obvious symptoms but continued on to help me cure the emotional and more subtle problems which lay at the core of everything.”

After effects of major car accident and visual problems . . .
“I was in a car accident, receiving serious head injuries and was in a coma for three days. When I first saw John I couldn’t coordinatemy eyes and had double vision. I had memory loss and poor concentration.
I was amazed by John’s sensitivity. A few days after my first treatment my eyes came back into line and have been perfect ever since, my mental abilities and my energy steadily improved.”
