The history of the Natural Health Centre
Folkestone
Travelling by car
There is parking available directly outside the clinic which allows for up to an hour’s parking, or there are many streets surrounding the clinic which offer differing lengths of time – just check the sign for the street you choose to park on.
Travelling by train
The clinic is a less than ten minute walk from Folkestone Central train station, and five minutes away from the local bus station.
François Mezei is the principal osteopath and founder of the Natural Health Centre. He opened the first clinic in Folkestone, Kent, in 2009, and after working in Tunbridge Wells for 16 years, opened his second clinic in Tonbridge, Kent, in 2023.
The aim is to operate an osteopathy centred multidisciplinary clinic. Bringing talented practitioners and complementary therapies together under one roof, together striving to offer patients the ability to better look after their health and body.
François has always had an affinity with Kent ever since he first moved here from France in 2005, to pursue his osteopathic studies at the European School of Osteopathy in Maidstone, Kent.
He qualified in 2007, and chose to live and practice in Kent. Quickly he realized he wanted to open his own clinic and chose Folkestone.
François also spent a number of years teaching at the European School of Osteopathy as a clinic tutor for final year students. He no longer teaches there but envisions to run his own international osteopathic seminars in the coming years.
Tonbridge
Travelling by car
There is free parking on Priory Street all day except between 9.30am and 10.30am, so any patients booked in during these times can use parking that is free for two hours on Priory Road, opposite the train station car park (South – C). Please check the signs for whichever road you choose to park on to ensure it is suitable. Alternatively, there is a payable car park behind the clinic, ‘Green Parking Ltd’, which costs £1 for an hour.
Travelling by train
Conveniently for François who comes by train, the clinic is approximately a four minute walk from Tonbridge Train Station.
