I am a full member of the Association of Reflexologists
.
Holistic therapies take in the whole person, treating body, mind, and soul ... and can run alongside conventional medicine. You should always seek advice from your GP if you are concerned about any symptoms you may have.
Reflexology is a natural therapy founded on the belief that your feet, hands, and ears are a reflection of the systems in the body - where specific areas correspond to organs, glands and structure. By applying gentle pressure to specific areas of the feet, hands or ears a Reflexologist can encourage the body to restore its own healthy balance.
Evidence has been found for some form of foot and hand therapy being practiced in China and Egypt more than four thousand years ago.
Reflexology and Reiki aim to treat the individual as a whole, creating a state of harmony and balance in both body, mind and spirit.
They have the benefit of also being deeply relaxing therapies. During periods of relaxation, the body takes the opportunity to heal, restore, rebalance and energise itself.
Both Reflexology and Reiki are a wonderful way of maintaining your body's healthy balance and general wellbeing, reducing the stresses and tensions that come with busy lifestyles and giving us a space to reflect on the mind as well as the body.
After a session you may well feel a sense of balance and peace, that has perhaps eluded you for some time.
Reflexology and Reiki can induce a deep state of relaxation. Relaxing helps relieve tension and aids circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients, oxygen and energy to all parts of the body, helping with removal of toxins. Relaxation assists the body in dealing with the stress response, to which there are many benefits physically, mentally, and emotionally
Reflexologists cannot claim to diagnose or cure. During treatment, we assess 'feedback' as to which parts of the body are working well and which feel imbalanced. Sometimes Reflexology will highlight a specific area that may be working harder to maintain your wellbeing.
While the therapies I offer may not be a cure for a particular ailment. They can be particularly effective in helping to manage many health conditions, especially constant or recurring ones. Encouraging the body, mind and soul to reach a sense of equilibrium

How often should I have reflexology or reiki treatments?
Everyone is different and the response to Reflexology can be variable depending on the problem and length of time the problem has been present. At your first consultation I will advise a course of treatments. Usually weekly treatments provide the best benefits, helping the body to kickstart the self healing process. Reducing to fortnightly or monthly treatments, as improvements are felt.
We will formulate a treatment plan together at your first appointment, which best suits your needs.
With the packaged programmes I offer the healing journey is already mapped out for you.
What happens in a treatment?
Reflexology is performed on the feet, ankles and hands mainly, the most you’ll have to do is take off your socks and roll up your trousers! (please try not to wear skinny jeans for your appointment). During the treatment, the client relaxes on a reclining chair or therapy bed and is offered a soft blanket to keep warm.
And don’t worry - reflexology doesn't tickle! Many clients come to me with ticklish feet, worried about their feet being touched, but find they can relax and enjoy the benefits of Reflexology.
Does reflexology hurt?
You may find some areas feel sensitive to the touch. As a therapist, I will be aware of the status of your feet, noticing how they feel, the temperature and color. All of these things play a part in understanding which areas of your body - as reflected through your feet - require a little more care and attention. Reflexology shouldn't hurt, you are always in control and can request either firmer or lighter pressure
