The idea behind holistic therapies, that you treat the body as a whole rather the symptoms alone, has always made complete sense to me. I am a firm believer that our health depends on the balance of our minds and bodies, that we need to create an overall state of well-being in order to be ‘healthy’.

 

However, it was when I was offered Reflexology sessions as part of bereavement counselling by our local Hospice that I experienced first-hand the effects this genuinely had on my own state of mind and general well-being. I believe it gave me the relaxation that my body needed to encourage its own healing process.

 

When later that year my work situation took an increasingly stressful turn I decided to be brave and make a career change. It has proved to be one of the best decisions of my life!

 

After completing an introductory course in Reflexology in March 2013, I continued my training at Calming Influences School for Reflexologists in Southampton where I gained a VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology. The course included a thorough study of Anatomy and Physiology and we were required to complete over 100 case studies.

 

I feel so grateful to be doing something I enjoy so much and hope that I can pass on to others some of the wonderful benefits that I truly believe Reflexology can provide.

 

I have also gained a diploma in Indian Head Massage and am a Reiki Master.

 

I am a fully insured member of the Association of Reflexologists, a professional body which promotes the highest standards in Reflexology, and am committed to regularly updating my knowledge and skills with ongoing training and development.

 

My most recent course was Mindful Reflexology taught by Sally Earlam. It was fascinating. It looked at how we can best support clients living with stress, anxiety and depression by adapting our Reflexology and offering self-help techniques. I believe the powerful benefits of touch can never be underestimated to help relax and rebalance the body’s systems.
