As a Women's Health Reflexologist, I’m extremely passionate about helping you to optimise your health and wellbeing.
Reflexology is a deeply relaxing therapy that provides gentle relief for many common health complaints, including Stress, Anxiety, IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and Insomnia.
Every calming treatment session helps to relieve stress and will encourage you to relax, unwind and leave the pressures of daily life behind.
Reflexology can be wonderfully supportive at every stage of your life...
Reflexology for Fertility may help if you're planning to start a family or are struggling to conceive. Perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with unexplained infertility or have Endometriosis or PCOS that are making things more difficult? Reflexology can also help throughout your assisted conception journey and can provide valuable IVF support.
Maternity Reflexology may help ease common pregnancy discomforts such as Morning Sickness and will help you to relax and prepare for labour. Treatments help to restore natural balance in the postpartum period too.
Menopause can often bring challenging symptoms that may affect your quality of life, including Hot Flushes, Brain Fog, Anxiety and Insomnia.
My own menopause struggles inspired me to carry out loads of research and take additional reflexology training.
So I love being able to provide Reflexology for Menopause support, for those of you navigating the menopausal transition.
Facial Reflexology is a deeply soothing treatment, with all the fabulous effects of foot reflexology. But it’s especially helpful if you find it difficult to switch off a very busy brain!
Zone Face Lift is a nurturing treatment that naturally targets fine lines and wrinkles. It involves massage and the use of specialist tools to 'lift' and sculpt the face, which may result in a more toned and youthful appearance.
Both these facial treatments promote blood circulation and enhance lymphatic drainage, bringing a natural radiant glow to the complexion. This can be a lovely way to restore confidence, especially beneficial during the menopausal years.
I also offer a delicious combined facial and foot reflexology experience - Top to Toe Reflexology.
Hot Stone Reflexology releases tension in the legs and feet and can be particularly soothing during the cooler months of the year.
Are you feeling overwhelmed right now?
Life can certainly be challenging at times and you may be juggling the demands of a hectic work and home life.
Perhaps you have caring responsibilities - or are struggling with health issues of your own?
Anxiety, Insomnia and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) may be worsened (or may even be caused) by stress.
These common conditions often lead to clients seeking reflexology for the first time and seem to respond well to the stress relief that treatments provide.
Why choose reflexology?
Reflexology is a gentle holistic therapy that encourages deep relaxation.
It provides support for a wide range of health issues including:
Reflexology does not claim to cure, but works in a gentle way to activate your body’s own natural healing processes.
Sessions are also available for Pregnancy and Fertility Issues.

Taking care of yourself shouldn't be seen as an indulgence...
It’s thought that complete wellness occurs when physical, emotional and spiritual needs are balanced.
When your own health is good, you can continue to care for the important people in your life.
So how are YOU feeling?

Reflexology for Fertility
Struggling to conceive?
It can take a healthy couple up to twelve months of trying, for conception to occur naturally.
Infertility may be due to a health condition like Endometriosis or PCOS or perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with ‘unexplained infertility’, which can be equally hard to deal with.
If you’re feeling anxious because things haven’t happened for you yet, why not let reflexology help?
Reflexology is a deeply calming treatment that relieves stress, which can negatively impact the reproductive process.
If you’re embarking upon assisted conception, reflexology can gently support you through each stage of your cycle.
Over the past 15 years that I’ve been working with clients experiencing fertility issues, I’ve seen many wonderful outcomes - both from natural and assisted conception!

Maternity Reflexology
Can reflexology result in an easier labour?
I’ve been a Maternity Reflexologist for over 20 years and feel privileged to have supported hundreds of expectant mums throughout their pregnancies!
Pregnancy reflexology sessions are a nurturing experience for any mum-to-be and can be a wonderful way to relax and connect with your little one.
* G. Motha and J. McGrath - 1992 "The effects of reflexology on labour outcome".
So reflexology may help you to have an easier labour!
Treatments earlier in pregnancy may help to ease many common discomforts, including Nausea/Morning Sickness, Constipation, Heartburn/Acid Reflex and Pelvic Girdle Pain.
If you’d like to prepare for the best possible birth experience, please get in touch here.
Balancing Hormones
As women, we’re governed by hormones, that fluctuate widely throughout our lives!
The action of hormones causes powerful physiological changes within the body.
Endometriosis and PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) are conditions caused by hormone imbalance and may mean that conception is more difficult to achieve.
Reflexology may help if you’re affected by these conditions and you can find out more here.
Feedback from clients attending for hormone imbalance has shown:

Perimenopause and Menopause
Struggling with anxiety, hot flushes or night sweats?
Menopause can be a time of great emotional upheaval, but it can be physically challenging too…
It’s difficult to survive on just a few hours sleep, when you’re trying to juggle work and family responsibilities.
You may be experiencing lots of menopausal symptoms, or just a few, including:
If you’re over the age of 40, declining hormone levels are usually to blame and symptoms are seen as a natural part of the ageing process.
But this doesn’t make it any easier and if your quality of life is seriously being affected, please seek help, as this is more widely available now.
Some calming reflexology may help to relieve any anxiety and help you cope better with this stage of life.
Simple lifestyle changes can also make a big difference to the way that you’re feeling and we’ll explore this during a pre-treatment consultation.
If your symptoms are particularly debilitating, I’d encourage you to visit your GP to discuss other treatment options that are available to you.
Reflexology works well alongside Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and can provide additional calming support.
