About me

I have worked with children, young people and their families in specialist services within the voluntary and Health and Social care sector for over fifteen years, specifically within the fields of mental health, substance misuse and domestic abuse. I understand how the impact of trauma and difficult life circumstances can affect an individuals’ physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Many people face adversity in one form or other, whether that is due to a physical health condition, mental health concerns, additional learning needs or simply the stresses and pressures of modern day to day life.

My goal is to provide an opportunity for children (primary school aged and above), young people and adults, to receive hands on, gentle, yet effective, reflexology in a safe, calming and nurturing environment. A moment to truly relax, feel valued and special. A chance to restore balance in the body.

I believe in the importance of touch to connect and ground people. ‘Touch by another human being is a relaxing, caring, anxiety-reducing action for most people’ (Healthline). I feel this is also particularly important for those in later life, who perhaps have more limited opportunity to feel the supportive power of touch. It is for this reason I am also passionate about delivering hand reflexology to the elderly.

‘Reflexology is a therapy which can be received by anyone at any age, from newborn babes to those receiving end of life care, and everyone in between’ (Association of Reflexologists).
