My name is Kiri Baker and I am the owner and Founder of Healing Hands
Do what you Love
How it all Began
My career path began at the age of 21 when I had completed my first course with Newcastle College but did not know what direction to take. 5 years later came the birth of my first son and I decided to drive forward with my own little business.
Temporary Business
After having my first child I decided to focus on my own business and Healing Handz was formed, working out of my parents dining room in the lovely seaside village of Spittal. From here I built up a lovely client list and continued to add to my qualifications
All new Premises
In 2023 work began to refit my grandad disused workshop into a specifically designed therapy and wellness centre, and we moved in in 2024. I now work full-time driving my business and continuing to develop the treatments available to all my clients.
Our values
At my sports therapy clinic, I are committed to enhancing athletic performance and promoting overall wellness through personalised care, innovative treatment techniques, and a compassionate approach. I believe in empowering my clients to achieve their peak potential while fostering a supportive environment that encourages recovery, growth, and resilience.

Additional Support
The power of the mind plays a crucial role in promoting physical healing through techniques such as visualization, meditation, and positive thinking, which can enhance the body’s ability to recover and strengthen resilience. By fostering a mindset focused on wellness, individuals can influence their physical health, reduce stress, and even manage pain more effectively, ultimately leading to improved health outcomes and a higher quality of life. That is why I have teamed up with Carly Richards who has moved into the premises as ‘The Business Psychology Consultants’. Carly believes that our mental health is a tool to healing our physical health.
Just get in touch, or talk to me during any treatment about ‘Mindfulness’ and how this could unleash the power of healing.
