Graduate of the London School of Reflexology, ITHMA and International Association of Infant Massage, with over 20 years' experience as a multi-discipline Practitioner of Complementary Medicine.
A Whole Person Approach
Based on the researched study of Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) which recognises the connection of our mind body and emotions which work together to support our immune system and emotional wellbeing.
Evidence shows that emotions such as fear, grief, shock, trauma or anger can result in increased levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body, which can stop our immune system from working at its best.
Integrating evidence-based complementary therapies into our lifestyle (and with clinical treatments to work alongside each other) supports the body's natural ability to re-balance, build resilience and repair itself.

Reflexology explained:
Organs, glands and over 7000 nerve endings connect to reflex points/areas on our feet. A combination of gentle massage and pressure to reflexes on our feet or hands stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system. A state of deep relaxation helps restore the body’s natural healthy balance and so has a positive effect on corresponding organs and body systems.
Reflexology is beneficial in relieving the symptoms of many health conditions. It is also used to complement radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments and to promote healing after surgery.
Massage Therapy explained
Various focused massage techniques e.g. remedial /deep tissue, acupressure, Indian Head, neuro-muscular, joint mobilisation and dynamic stretching promotes muscle and joint release to relieve tension and pain.
Massage increases the hormone serotonin and the neurotransmitter in the brain called dopamine; both of which play important roles in the regulation of everyday functions including mood sleep and learning. Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, is reduced and “feelgood” hormones are released - such as endorphins and encephalins - which positively affects our emotional wellbeing.
Reflexology for all ages!
Our children and teenagers need additional support now more than ever. Reflexology can improve sleep patterns, reduce anxiety and panic attacks, depression, hyperactivity, mood swings, promote better appetite and calm inflamed skin conditions.
Pre-natal, pregnancy & post-natal
Reflexology helps to balance hormones and the process of regular ovulation and fertilisation. During pregnancy (from 14 weeks), Reflexology and Massage Therapy help the body adjust to physical and hormonal changes and assists lymphatic drainage and from week 37 helps the body prepare for birth.
Post-natal Reflexology helps to rebalance the hormones and can help with the initial anxiety of early motherhood.
Reiki explained
The ancient Japanese form of Usui Reiki healing is emotionally powerful and safe for all ages. Deeply relaxing, it allows you to tap into an unlimited supply of “universal life force energy” and good intention that flows from the Therapist’s hands.
Received through clothes, Reiki helps to balance your energy centres or “chakras” and discard emotions that no longer serve you. It helps to promote clarity, energy, positivity and focus. This in turn leads to improved physical wellbeing.
Clinical Aromatherapy explained
Aromatherapy is the controlled use of volatile essential oils; naturally present in numerous botanical sources to protect them against pathogens.
Essential oils are often described as medicine because they contain natural evolving chemicals that provide anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-spasmodic, analgesic and anti inflammatory therapeutic benefits.
When massaged into the skin, essential oils enter our blood stream and benefit our body systems and promote wellbeing through our brain’s olfactory reaction to their wonderful aromas.

Some frequently asked questions...
Do you operate a mobile service?
Appointments take place in my home-based bespoke therapy suite only.
In my experience, clients benefit from Reflexology, Reiki, Massage Therapy and Aromatherapy more if they come away from their own environment for a period of time, to a purpose built confidential environment that offers warmth, tranquility and peace.
How often should I receive Reflexology, Reiki, Massage Therapy, Aromatherapy?
Following our initial consultation, I will suggest the number and frequency of appointments according to what we are working together to achieve.
