Jason took the scenic route into physiotherapy—literally. After high school, he took a gap year overseas and landed a job as a mechanic at a gas station. It turns out he was terrible at fixing cars, but not too bad at fixing people.

After qualifying as a physiotherapist at the University of Durban-Westville Jason cut his clinical teeth at a practice based in La Lucia. He was blessed to spend two action packed years at the Sharks Rugby Academy looking after 200 young aspiring athletes. From there, he moved to the medical centre at Westville Boys' High School, where he looked after the First XV rugby team, along with a number of other injured scholars.

Eventually, the call of home took him back to Richards Bay, where he opened his own private practice and balanced in-hospital work with treating patients in rooms. After six fulfilling years, he and his family made the move back to Durban—and that’s where you’ll find him now.

When he’s not treating patients, you'll probably find Jason on the road or a trail somewhere, but if you need help with a neck or back pain or maybe a sports injury or two, he doesn't mind cutting a run short to give you a hand.

Robyn-Leigh has been working as a Counselling Psychologist since 2010 after completing her Masters in Community-based Counselling Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand.

She has experience working in diverse settings and with a broad range of people.

Attachment theory & research shows that the biggest predictor of how a person negotiates & connects with others is the relationship they experienced growing up. The therapy space allows for the client to explore and “think about” the past and how this influences who they are in the present (Dr Daniel Siegel in Mindsight). This process of thinking is what she believes facilitates one of the greatest gifts of the therapeutic process - self-understanding. She is passionate about providing a safe space for the clients she sees to explore their story, make sense of it, be kinder to themselves and write the next chapters in a more empowered way.

Robyn-Leigh’s approach to therapy draws mainly on Psychodynamic theory. This means that the process tends to be of a medium to long term nature where in depth feelings and experiences are worked through. She aims to provide a therapy service that best meets the particular needs of the client. Often what brings a person to therapy is a sense of something being wrong, a possible internal struggle, a negative relationship with oneself, or other unhealthy relationship dynamics be they family, friendship, romantic, at school, at work or in the broader community. She works mainly with adolescents & adults.

David completed his BA and LLB degrees at Natal University (Durban) in 1989 & 1990 respectively and went on to accomplish a Masters degree (LLM) through UNISA specialising in Trade Mark Law, following a stint as a Legal Officer at Salisbury Island in the SA Navy in 1991.

Thereafter David qualified as an attorney of the High Court of South Africa at Spoor & Fisher, a well-known Pretoria firm specialising in IP matters and he has lectured at several institutions in South Africa on intellectual property law and commercial law. In 1998 Jean de Chalain and David co-founded a specialist IP Boutique helping clients make money by protecting and enforcing their trademarks, patents and designs in a user friendly and cost- effective manner.

David has specific expertise and extensive experience in the protection and enforcement of trade mark portfolios owned by International Sports Teams, Supporters Clubs and Championships for example The Ineos Grenadiers, The British and Irish Lions, Rugby World Cup, The Melrose Cup (7’s rugby), Manchester United, The Barmy Army, US Open (tennis), Giant ( bicycles), Wattbike, 6 Nations Rugby and the world famous St Andrews Links Golf Course, recognised as “THE HOME OF GOLF”. He also acts for a number of prominent clients in the sports products, protein powders, energy drinks , nutritional products, collagen products, fashion, entertainment, 4×4, video game, horse racing, education, restaurant, food, craft beer, wine and whisky industries.

In 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 & 2020 Managing Intellectual Property (MIP) in its Annual World IP Survey based on input from clients and other IP lawyers recognised David as a leading individual / IP Star, for trade mark litigation, prosecution, strategy and counselling.

Fiona Kisten qualified as a Therapeutic Reflexologist in 2000. With 25 years of valuable experience, her input into the lives of her patients is priceless.

Her love for healing and taking care of people has always been a major part of her personality. Through the years of being qualified, she has spent a lot of time volunteering her services to the elderly and the children that can’t afford treatment with her, because she understands the value of giving back.

Her very own experience with the effects of emotional trauma on health stems from taking care of her mum who had major side effects from the emotional trauma, and also having gone through those effects herself. Having had fibromyalgia, depression, an extremely bad gut health and rheumatoid arthritis and having healed from that, puts her in a very good position to not only understand your pains, but also to treat you.

She has changed the way she does her treatments, so nothing about a treatment with her, is ordinary. This is because she wants to treat the individual as a whole, going deeper than just the physical symptoms of aches, pains, illness and disease to treating the trigger factors that got your body in that state. She calls reflexology treatments with her a Journey, as it is literally that, a Journey from being in a state of ill health to healing your mind and body to function normally.

REFLEXOLOGY IS NOT AN EXPENSE, IT IS AN INVESTMENT.

…and the Journey with B Restored & Fiona, is one where You Restore the Beautiful In You.

I am a Kinderkineticist registered with the South African Professional Institute for Kinderkinetics (SAPIK).

I completed my BHSc Human Movement Science with Sports coaching (cum laude) and followed by completing my BHSc Hons Kinderkinetics at the North West University.

I am deeply passionate about working with children and supporting their development through every milestone. I specialize in baby stimulation, toddler development (ages 1-3), gross motor development (ages 3-6) and remedial lessons (ages 6-13) with a strong focus on perceptual-motor skills, supporting children in reaching their full potential while fostering a positive and enjoyable relationship with movement.

Kinderkinetics is a specialized field that uses scientific, evidence-based and age-appropriate activities to enhance children’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and perceptual development through purposeful movement. These carefully planned activities are tailored to each child’s developmental level and needs, helping to build a strong foundation for learning, growing, confidence, and overall well-being.
