What qualifications and training have you received?
I qualified in 2014 completing an ITEC level 3 Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology for Complementary Therapies prior to a 9 month period of study to obtain my ABC Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology, a course approved by the Association of Reflexologists. I have subsequently attended courses in the following advanced reflexology techniques: hormone balancing, reflexology lymphatic drainage, linking technique, and Cancer care. I use a variation of the techniques to enhance each session according to my clients needs. I have also completed NCFE Level 2 certificate in Understanding Nutrition and Health. I am a member of The Association of Reflexologists, and am fully insured.
Cancer Care
I work with clients who are currently, or have been through, cancer treatment. Reflexology is increasingly recognised as having valuable benefits both in terms of reducing unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but also in supporting the emotional balance and restoring a sense of equilibrium again. My techniques are adapted and tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on providing a restful & positive treatment incorporating a range of subtle reflexology techniques. There is so much to be said for a lovely, non-invasive reflexology session at a time when clients are having a lot of medical intervention. Similarly, post cancer treatment, when the dust settles and clients can feel overwhelmed as they are left to emotionally digest the challenges of what they have just been through, or indeed during palliative care, when time to themselves and the warm human touch can bring a wonderful sense of respite and peace. I am always happy to chat prior to a session to discuss your particular needs.
What happens during a session?
All you need do is remove your shoes & socks and get comfy on the soft treatment couch; I will use my hands to apply specific massage and pressure techniques to the feet whilst you relax. Reflexology is unique to each client, some clients like to chat quietly, others fall asleep!
A session is 45 minutes of reflexology. A course of treatments may be recommended depending upon the individual’s health, requirements and their body’s needs. For a specific health concern, a block of six weekly sessions is recommended which can often offer a more effective start to your health recovery. Reflexology has a cumulative effect and after an initial block of treatments many clients go on to enjoy monthly “top ups” to maintain balanced health.
What do I wear?
Please come dressed comfortably so that you can fully relax, wearing loose bottomed trousers is advisable.
How much does a session cost?
A weekday, daytime session costs £40.00
Evening session (5pm onwards) £55
