I offer traditional reflexology services for the general population and also specialised techniques for clients seeking support during their fertility journey, pregnancy and menopause.

Reflexology is a popular holistic technique, not only for relaxation, but also to support overall wellbeing at any age and time of your life.

Reflexology is a gentle and safe technique where I apply pressure to ‘reflex’ points on your feet which are said to relate to specific organs, glands, nerves, muscles, and lymphatic and circulatory systems in your body. This is believed to stimulate those areas to release built up ‘toxins’ and help your body to recalibrate and rebalance for wellbeing. The aim is to provide an optimal environment for your body to heal itself.

During a reflexology session, you just remove your footwear and recline in a comfortable chair whilst I work on the different reflex areas of your feet. I include regular gentle relaxation techniques to the whole foot which aids flexibility and increases relaxation. It is not massage; however, I will end the session with a brief foot massage to increase relaxation if you wish.

I ask you to complete a health and lifestyle questionnaire prior to a reflexology session, to discover if you have any health issues or painful areas of your feet. I can then focus my attention on those areas to help to bring relief or be especially gentle to avoid further discomfort. This means that whilst my service is standard it also includes bespoke additions to meet your needs. Whilst reflexology is a safe technique, there are certain contraindications which would prevent my offering it at that time until further investigation or medical treatment. I do not diagnose, claim to cure or prescribe medications.

The reason I am able to offer this service is based on my reflexology qualifications and my wide experience since 2006 and continually upgrading my skills on a regular basis.

I am a qualified nurse and health visitor with a midwifery certificate, and worked in the NHS for almost twenty years.

In 2006, I qualified in complementary therapies, as a Reflexologist and again in 2007 with the International Institute of Reflexology, IIR (considered the gold standard of reflexology in the path of Eunice Ingham, the ‘Mother’ of Reflexology), followed by further qualifications in Fertility and Maternity reflexology (the latter with Susanne Enzer), together with a special technique called Vertical Reflex therapy to advanced level with Lynne Booth.

I am also a qualified clinical psycho-hypnotherapist and coach, Reiki Master teacher, Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner, and CBT therapist.

I love my work, but when I’m not working, my interests are archery, crown green bowling, walking, gardening, the theatre, and spending time with my family.
