I qualified in the other therapies soon afterwards. I also hold a BSc in Complementary Therapies. I have also taught and trained students at College and with Community Education

This list is not exhaustive
Abdominal Reflexology has proved very beneficial if you suffer from any digestive or back problems. It is effective for patients with M.E. or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (C.F.S) because such people often suffer from Candida or yeast toxins in the intestines and it is very good for detoxification.
Facial Reflexology is effective if you suffer from headaches especially migraines and sinus problems and you always feel tired. Immediate effects can be felt after the treatment.
Magnet Therapy can give relief from pain and discomfort, including back pain, fibromyalgia, sprains and strains, carpal tunnel syndrome, torn ligaments. Magnets improve circulation and reduce inflammation by bringing in the body's natural healers.
I usually incorporate polarity therapy, the use of magnets and acu-pressure when I am carrying out one of the other treatments. For example, I will place a magnet on a sore knee while doing reflexology (foot) treatment.
DEFINITIONS
Reflexology
Both the feet and hands have reflex areas which correspond to all the organs, systems and glands of the body. By applying pressure to these reflexes with the fingers and thumbs, the nerve impulses are stimulated, promoting an overall well-being, physically, mentally and emotionally. The whole person is treated. Reflexology brings balance and harmony to all body systems.
Facial Reflexology
Will improve physical and emotional health. Working directly on the face will also tone the facial muscles, acting as a non surgical face lift. Reflex points are stimulated by applying pressure with the fingertips and or thumbs. The ears themselves represent the whole body. After facial treatments people always have a fresh, relaxed face and their eyes are much more open and sparkling.
Abdominal Reflexology
This form of reflexology originated in Japan. It induces a high degree of relaxation. The lateral edge of the working hand and fingers and thumbs are used to work on reflex areas linked directly to their respective organs or on the acupuncture meridians.
Aromatherapy
The essential plant oils are absorbed into the body during massage or by inhalation. The oils have therapeutic properties, influencing emotional and physical well-being. The aroma released can affect mood, metabolism and stress levels. Oils are used to suit the patient's own preferences and needs.
Massage
Allows the oil molecules to be absorbed into the bloodstream to pass to the nervous system, influencing the hormonal system. Massage stimulates the lymphatic system, removing toxic waste from the body. The various massage techniques used and the pressure depends on whether you want the treatment to alleviate certain health problems or to invigorate or to relax.
Polarity Therapy
Pain or illness is due to an imbalance of the flow of life energy around the body. Using the palms of the hands and/or fingertips to apply pressure to the body from head to toe, energy is rebalanced and is able to flow without interruption between positive and negative poles, which act like magnets.
Classical Magnetic Therapy
Human Body Cells have subtle magnetic forces. Magnets place on the body enhance the circulation, since the iron in the red blood cells respond to magnetism. In turn the supply of oxygen in the cells is improved.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
An ancient system of healing, which treats the person as a whole and looks at the pattern of symptoms of the individual rather than looking for a named disease. A wide range of therapies are based on the principles of T.C.M.. The Yin and Yang are complementary opposites and affect how the QI or ENERGY flows in the Meridians (energy pathways) in the body, which either begin or end on a finger or toe and penetrate major body organs. The MERIDIANS are divided into the FIVE ELEMENTS- Wood, fire, earth, metal, water and governed by the function of the ORGAN CLOCK = CHINESE CLOCK.
CONSULTATION AND TREATMENT
An in-depth consultation is taken before the commencement of any treatment. This is very important so that I can get to know you, your health, lifestyle etc. and also you can ask any questions and voice any concerns you may have regarding the treatments. As with all therapies, with the exception of facial reflexology, there are contra-indications and I need to make you aware of them. Perhaps one therapy will be more suitable. If you are having a massage then we can discuss the therapeutic properties of the essential oils you may have a preference for. I also need to know what your expectations are regarding treatments. You will be told about possible after effects, which some people call a healing crisis. This usually passes in twenty four to forty eight hours.
You will also be give advice about after-care following your treatment.
CONTACT
You are very welcome to contact me to discuss any of the therapies or maybe you just want some advice. Let me know how I can help you.
I do make home visits because it is more relaxing for you in your own home.
Why not make a gift of a treatment to a family member or friend on a special occasion or as a thank you?
Better still, make an appointment for yourself now
