I am based in North West London, occasionally practicing out of my home but predominantly I travel to my clients.

I've been practicing for over 11 years now and am an accredited member of the Association of Reflexologists

The “Art of Reflexology’’ is an ancient therapy that has been practiced for over 5000 years and was introduced to the Western world over 100 years ago, introduced by William Fitzgerald and then Eunice Ingham. Reflexology is a non-intrusive complementary therapy, which is based on the theory that massaging and applying pressure to different points on the feet, hands that correspond with their counterparts of the body. 

I believe that working these points with thumb walking and caterpillar step movements promote relaxation and help improve well-being, over a period of time. With ever increasing levels of stress in everyday life, it is important for people to recognise the negative effects stress can have, and the need to address their own healthcare needs. 

Reflexology could be one of the ways we might use to ease the stresses of modern everyday life. Reiki is another way to heal-using healing hands off the surface of the body, as of course is hands on Osteopathy, or Chiropractic treatment and Acupuncture using heated sterilised needles.

Reflexology is frequently used as a supportive therapy alongside conventional care. It does not diagnose or treat medical conditions, but it may help individuals manage stress, discomfort and emotional load during periods of illness, recovery or life change. Its calming effects can be especially helpful when the body is already working hard to heal or adapt.

While many people of all ages have reflexology as a way of stimulating or healing the nervous and digestive systems, counteracting stress, doctors, and other health care professionals recognise reflexology as a well established, respected and effective therapy.

I typically work with men aged between 45-55 who suffer from back and shoulder pain and have bladder challenges and sleep patterns. I help them feel better in all these areas and so much more, giving them a better quality of life and able to function more efficiently to perform better in their everyday lives.

With ever increasing levels of stress, it is important people take more responsibility for their own health care needs. Reflexology helps us to cope on a physical, mental and emotional level thereby encouraging us to heal and maintain health in all areas of our lives.

• Reflexology is the technique of applying gentle pressure to the reflexes on the feet and hands in order to bring about a state of deep relaxation, stimulate the body’s own healing processes and help a person to return to a state of balance and well-being.

• These reflexes correspond to various parts, organs and glands of the body, having an effect on the nervous system, increase the body’s circulation, open up neural pathways and meridians and boost the immune system, sinuses, tendons.

• Reflexology stimulates blood flow and nervous reaction in the feet, and this has a corresponding effect throughout the body, as the entire body is linked by capillary and nerve tissue networks. 

• Reflexology reduces stress and induces deep relaxation. Stress becomes a problem when we fail to manage it well, especially when stress results from problems, overwork and worry. When we don’t handle stress, it compromises our immune system and we become more susceptible to illness and disease.  Much illness is stress related.     

• Stress and emotional strain can manifest physically through tight muscles, shallow breathing and disrupted sleep. Reflexology may help interrupt these patterns by encouraging the body into a more balanced state. Many people describe improvements in mood, reduced irritability and a greater sense of clarity as tension eases.
