I have been a somatic therapist for over 15 years.
From an early age I was often told I had healing hands and I felt a natural inclination towards giving massage, as not only was I aware of people responding favourably but it also left me feeling more grounded, connected and open.
I initially trained in Holistic massage and then went on to further my skills in Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Thai bodywork and Antenatal massage.
I have worked all over London as well as abroad and on retreats.
I pride myself on holding a safe and nurturing space where people can be themselves, relax and receive on a physical as well as emotional and mental level. My view is that the body is a gateway to whole body healing.
Reflexology is a natural therapy founded on the belief that your feet and hands are a reflection of the systems in your body - where specific areas correspond to organs, glands and structure. By applying gentle pressure to areas of the feet or hands a Reflexologist can help the body restore its own healthy balance. Evidence has been found for some form foot and hand therapy being practised in China and Egypt more than four thousand years ago.
Reflexology aims to treat the individual as a whole, creating a state of harmony in both body and mind. It has the benefit of also being a deeply relaxing therapy, and during periods of relaxation the body takes the opportunity to heal, restore and energise itself.
Reflexology is suitable for all ages, from baby to adult, and can be especially helpful for long-term and recurring conditions. Reflexology does not diagnose and does not cure though; as a complementary therapy it should not be considered an alternative to conventional medicine.
Reflexology is a wonderful way of maintaining your body's healthy balance and general wellbeing, reducing the stresses and tensions that come with busy lifestyles and giving us a space to reflect on the mind as well as the body.
Reflexology can induce a deep state of relaxation, which improves the effectiveness of the treatment. Relaxing helps relieve tension and aids circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients, oxygen and energy to all parts of the body, and helping with the removal of toxins.
While it is not a cure, Reflexology can be particularly helpful in managing many health conditions, especially constant or recurring ones that we might have come to accept over time as being a normal part of life.
Here are a few of the more common conditions that can be supported through Reflexology:
Sinusitis
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Headaches and migraines
Stress & tension
Depression
Hay fever & other allergies
Asthma
Women’s health
PMT, PMS & menstrual problems
Hormonal imbalances
High blood pressure
Insomnia & sleep disorders
Back pain
It is usually safe to have Reflexology alongside conventional medicine, but if you are currently having any medical treatment please speak to your GP before booking an appointment.
