Having a passion for Reflexology and seeing the amazing effects it has on people of all ages, I believe in the importance of nurturing the mind, body and spirit to promote complete wellbeing. When the human body is balanced or Homeostasis is achieved we are well, in good health.

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.

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.
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.
- £45 for 60 minutes.
