I experienced reflexology for the first time 28 years ago, when I was searching for a solution to some frightening panic attacks that had appeared out of nowhere...

I’d always been confident and capable, so the physical and emotional symptoms that I was experiencing felt completely overwhelming.

A friend suggested I try reflexology but, as I wasn't fond of my own feet and couldn't imagine anyone else touching them - I went along to my first session with some trepidation! But I found the treatment incredibly soothing and actually felt myself being able to relax and unwind... and later I ended up having the best night's sleep I'd had in ages!

Life had become pretty hectic, as I had two young boys under the age of four. So the fortnightly reflexology sessions provided much needed 'me-time' and my lovely reflexologist encouraged me to prioritise my own self-care. So I began listening to my favourite music, started reading again and began enjoying some regular relaxing baths.
