Confidential treatments tailored to your needs
All treatments are carried out in a private, comfortable home setting. On your first session we will discuss your medical history to establish any underlying health problems and what you wish to gain from the sessions. Sessions number vary from client to client, some clients feel the benefits after just one treatment but most visit weekly for the first 4 to 8 treatments. As Reflexology has a cumulative effect, a course of treatments is highly recommended, followed by regular or less frequent visits to maintain the health and wellbeing.
Notice how you feel at the moment... with everything going on in the world right now, it is very easy to feel down and overwhelmed, losing grounding and alignment. I can help you.
If you would like more information about a specific condition and are unsure whether Reflexology would be helpful, please contact me and I will be happy to discuss your concerns and offer appropriate advice.
Please note: Reflexology should not be used as an alternative to seeking medical advice. Reflexologists do not diagnose.

Prepare for birthing from the very beginning with some Foot Reflexology sessions. I am now offering expectant mothers treatments from their first trimester. Reflexology is a gentle treatment to have during your pregnancy. It may help with a range of minor ailments from morning sickness, acid reflux, headaches, muscular pain, cramps, constipation, anxiety & stress too.
Regular Reflexology treatments are safe and can also be for pure relaxation to help expectant mothers to be well prepared for the birth, physically, mentally and emotionally in a positive encouraging environment.
During the initial consultation we will have plenty of time to talk about your health, medical history, nutrition & life style. I also pass on naturopathic self care advice to further help and support you at this specific time.
In the third trimester there is time to talk about the upcoming birth, breastfeeding as well as exploring any anxieties and fears. I have helped expectant mothers to prepare for their body to start labour naturally around week 37 gestation when babies are in their final resting position.
If mum feels relaxed, in the right frame of mind & rested, hormonal changes will have an effect on baby's internal chemistry then nature takes its course. Please note it is not my intention to induce as this is a medical intervention and decision. Babies start birthing when they feel safe to do so. Reflexology does not induce labour, but it allows the body to relax sufficiently for the labour progression to be more effective.
An initial session and consultation is £62 - A follow up is £52
Reiki pronounced ray-key is a Japanese healing art founded by Dr Mikao Usui in the 1920s. The term Reiki derived from the words Rei (universal) and Ki (life energy.) Based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through & around living things and is vital to wellbeing. Reiki treats the whole person including body, mind, emotions and spirit. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or emotional pain. These energy blockages can cause illness. Reiki helps the flow of energy and removes blockages. In 2006 I trained in Reiki First Degree and Second Degree with intuitive Reiki Master Cathie Furlong. Reiki is not a religion nor is it a new age practice. No belief system is needed to benefit from receiving Reiki; all you need is a wish to be healed.
A session lasts 45 mins. Please allow some extra time for an initial appointment.
Some of the benefits of Reiki:
- Reduces stress and anxiety
- Pain & tension release
- Boosts the immune system
- Brings about calm & peace
- Improves sleep
- Aids with post-operative recovery
- Helps the body’s self-healing process
Any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
- An initial consultation & session is £57 - A follow up session is £47 for 45 mins
