About Me
I have always been fascinated by the human body - its' power to heal (or hinder) itself and the mind-body connection. This curiosity has been heightened by motherhood and all that this brings to our health, wellbeing and sense of self. So, in 2019, I decided to step away from my 15 year marketing career and delve into the world of reflexology. I've seen and experienced incredible results from it and I adore seeing my clients float away post-treatment. This is a beautiful modality which can provide just what the body needs to heal and feel vibrant. I hope that you can give the gift of self care soon and experience it for yourself.

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a well established, complimentary health therapy; which treats the mind and body as a whole to achieve a state of general wellbeing. It is designed to be both stimulating and nurturing, with the application of firm and direct pressure which is deeply relaxing and therapeutic (even to the most ticklish of feet). Reflexology is based on the theory that different points on the feet, lower leg, hands, face and ears correspond with different areas of the body. When pressure is applied to these areas or ‘reflexes’ it stimulates the movement of energy along the nerve channels, improving circulation and and helping to restore homeostasis (balance) in the whole body. This enhances overall relaxation, helps bring internal organs and their systems into a state of optimum functioning, and increases blood supply (which brings additional oxygen and nutrients to cells and enhances waste removal).
Reflexology can help with hormone imbalances, headaches, improving lymphatic flow, encouraging elimination, auto-immune and inflammatory conditions, improving blood circulation and supply, general mood, reducing stress and anxiety; and more.
During the treatment a state of deep relaxation is created in the mind and body, interrupting the pattern of stress and bringing balance to the body and its systems where there is imbalance.

Kind Words
An experience I found more relaxing than any massage I've ever had. Whilst seeing Rachel regularly, I managed to run the furthest I had run in years (9km) on a toe that has Osteoarthritis, with no pain afterwards. Hormonal symptoms eased to a point I hardly noticed them. When I stopped seeing Rachel for a while, my symptoms returned, so I am totally in awe. Rachel is so knowledgeable and gives herself over to every treatment.
