About Me
I am a retired general nurse with experience of caring for and supporting people with a wide range of conditions over many years. Before my retirement from nursing I was treated successfully with reflexology. I wanted to continue to be involved with this ancient therapy so trained as a reflexologist with Jubilee College in 2012. I have been treating people through reflexology since then.
The human body is a wondrous complex system. The way we live and the stresses and strains of our lives can interfere with the dynamics of this system producing symptoms like sleeplessness, anxiety, indigestion as well as making us more likely to be affected by infections and feeling low. A reflexology treatment is a pause, a reset, a chance to breathe deeply and to take stock.
Imagine – an hour on a comfortable recliner in a cosy room, your feet on a pillow, snuggled under a soft blanket (that would probably be enough) but then a purposeful massage of your feet – my touch is light – if you prefer harder pressure you’ll need to seek reflexology elsewhere – but it doesn’t tickle.
My route into reflexology was through my own struggle with gastritis. The medication didn’t help so I sought help elsewhere. Reflexology worked for me leaving me free from indigestion and feeling well again.
A reflexologist does not diagnose or treat one specific area of the body but works with all systems to restore balance in the body.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a complementary therapy which works with the body’s own healing and balancing processes.
A reflexologist applies pressure to different reflex points on the feet or hands which correspond to areas of and organs within the body. This targeted application of pressure can help to restore balance and promote healing.
A reflexologist does not diagnose specific illnesses but treats the whole person. Reflexology can release tension and promote relaxation. It is not a substitute for medical care, but complements it.

How can reflexology help? When I tell people I am a reflexologist most people have heard of it but there seems to be little understanding of how it can help among those who haven’t had a treatment or might have experienced it as part of a relaxing spa experience rather than being treated by a clinical…
