My Story
I love helping women to enhance their health and wellbeing - whatever stage of life they're at!
My first reflexology experience happened 28 years ago, when I was desperate to find a cure for my frightening panic attacks that had appeared out of nowhere...
I’d always felt confident and capable, so the physical and emotional symptoms that I was experiencing were completely overwhelming and I felt my life had changed forever.
When a friend suggested reflexology, I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't too fond of my own feet and couldn't imagine anyone touching them! So I went along to my first session with some trepidation, but I needn't have worried. The treatment was incredibly soothing and I was actually able to relax and unwind... later I had the best night's sleep that I'd had in ages!
With two young boys under the age of four, life was hectic. But my fortnightly reflexology sessions gave me some much needed 'me-time' and my reflexologist encouraged me to prioritise my own self-care. So I began listening to my favourite music, took up reading again and started to enjoy warm relaxing baths.
After a couple of months, I had begun to feel so much better and my anxiety symptoms had largely disappeared. I'm convinced that being able to talk to an empathic reflexologist - in a confidential and nurturing environment -really helped me to recover. And I hope this is what I provide for every one of my clients now.
My reflexology experience had made me realise how therapeutic the power of touch could be and I knew that I wanted to help others that were struggling. So I decided to start my reflexology training almost immediately!
Now, 23 years after qualifying, I'm as passionate as ever about reflexology and how it can support you and help to improve your overall health and wellbeing.
So whether you’re expecting a baby, struggling with fertility issues, going through menopause, or just in need of some relaxation - I'd love to help!
