Holistic therapies

Holistic therapies are all about treating the whole person - mind, body, spirit and emotional well-being - to gain balance and achieve optimal health. Holistic therapists understand that if one part of the body is not working properly, then other parts of the body will be affected by this disharmony, since all parts of the person are intricately connected. So holistic therapies work to balance and relax the whole person, and in doing so, aim to stimulate the body's natural healing powers.

About me

My interest in reflexology started whilst working as a midwife, after hearing positive comments from clients who had reflexology treatments to help with typical discomforts of pregnancy, such as back pain, indigestion or insomnia. Some clients used reflexology to encourage labour to start once they reached their due date, and others just to experience the pleasure of a lovely relaxing treatment during what can be an uncomfortable time in a woman's life. All were enthusiastic about the effects of reflexology.

reflexology

Reflexology is one of many holistic therapies that aim to restore balance and health to the mind, body and spirit. Alongside reflexology, I offer 'aroma reflexology', which is a lovely treatment combining reflexology and aromatherapy. As a holistic therapist, I recognise the value of helping clients to take care of their health. Treatment sessions are a time for relaxing, for reflecting and for enjoying some valuable time dedicated to your own well-being.

A typical treatment session

First treatment sessions begin with a thorough consultation to ascertain your particular needs, your previous medical history and any relevant family medical history, your lifestyle, any contraindications to treatment, and a discussion to help both of us to understand what you would like to gain from your treatments. This information is used to plan the most appropriate treatments for you, and is kept kept completely confidential.

For a reflexology treatment, you will only need to remove your shoes and socks. I will examine your feet and give them a refreshing clean. For aroma reflexology, I will need to be able to access your feet and also your lower legs up to your knees, so loose clothing is recommended. Treatments last for around an hour although an additional 10-15 minutes will be needed for the consultation at the initial treatment only. Treatments are carried out in the comfort of your own home. You don't need to provide anything apart from a quiet room with minimal distractions to ensure your treatment gives you the opportunity to fully relax and enjoy. I come equipped with everything else needed! Your body will respond to the treatment in its own unique way. Some people feel relaxed and sleepy, others energised and some may feel emotional. All are normal reactions to treatments and are part of the healing and balancing process.
