About
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a deeply relaxing complimentary therapy suitable for the whole family throughout every stage of life. It is the technique of applying controlled pressure to reflex points on the feet, hands or face that correspond to organs, glands and skeletal structures within the body. Stimulations of these reflex points help restore the body’s vital energy pathways to bring about a state of deep relaxation and stimulate the body’s own healing process, allowing it to return to a state of natural balance and well-being. We have over 7,000 nerve endings in each foot so treatments in this area can be extremely beneficial in combatting the harmful effects of anxiety and stress. As a complementary therapy it works very well alongside conventional medicine and is used within many settings including hospitals, hospices and care homes.
About Me...
Having had a career as a professional ballerina, I am aware of the need to keep the body in optimum condition in order to function at the highest level. As a Mum of 3 boys and 2 stepsons, I am very aware of the need to manage stress levels and give the body and mind the chance to relax, restore and rebalance as often as possible in a world that’s chaotic and challenging. As a wife, sister and daughter, I understand what it’s like to be pulled in many different directions and as a business owner, I know how difficult it is to maintain a good work/life balance; to be everything you need to be for everyone else, but still maintain your health, wellbeing – and sanity! Also, as someone who has experienced the effects of menopause and fertility issues, I understand and sympathise with the many changes both physically, mentally and emotionally that these very complex periods of change can bring.
I trained at the prestigious London School of Massage and furthered my training in Reflexology at the Cottage Training Centre in Southampton. With a specialty in Women’s Health, I am fully qualified in Maternity, Fertility and Menopause Reflexology Treatments as well as a number of other therapies including Reiki and Lymphatic Drainage. I am trained in Butterfly Touch Therapies and offer Oncology & Palliative Massage and Reflexology treatments. Continued training and research ensure that clients are provided with the most up to date treatments and guidance.
I am First Aid Qualified and maintain a high level of professionalism at all times. All personal information will be kept highly confidential in accordance with GDPR regulations and strict health and safety guidelines are followed.
I am proud to be a Full Member of the Association of Reflexologists and many other professional governing bodies and abide by their Code of Practice and Ethics. In your appointment with me, you will receive time to talk and relax with a confidential, attentive and caring approach to focus on your treatment goals.
