Hello and welcome to my reflexology world! I have included all the information I believe you might want to know about this fascinating therapy, and how I became a Clinical Reflexologist.
The feet have been of professional interest to me since I studied and qualified as a Foot Health Practitioner (FHP) in 2005. What is there to dislike? We'd be lost without them and as I have discovered there is more to feet than I realised!
Some years later whilst still working as a FHP I also developed a curiosity about reflexology which led me to consider formal training. I embarked upon a Clinical Reflexology course with Inspira Academy in Cardiff and in 2018 achieved a Distinction at Level 5 Practitioner Course in Reflexology. This is currently the highest level of reflexology training in the UK, which comes under the Nursing and Subjects and Vocations Allied to Medicine sector. I was taught Duopody Reflexology, a unique technique in which both feet are treated symmetrically and methodically, exactly reflecting each organ and system in the body. I am also trained to offer hand reflexology if preferred.
As well as providing treatments intended to bring about well-being and improvements to health. I am qualified to offer reflexology for specific conditions. These include:
Reproductive health and pregnancy
Palliative Care
Sports injuries
Limbic reflexology. This is a specific type of reflexology that follows reflex points, believed to correspond to nuclei in the brain. Using the internationally revised FIQR (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire), PHQ9 and GAD7 questionnaires with Fibromyalgia Case Studies, before each limbic reflex treatment, I was able to see continuing health improvements in these people. Subsequently they converted to become paying Clients. I am currently the only Limbic Reflexologist in the South West. Please read more about Limbic Reflexology by clicking on the relevant page above.
In addition to the many techniques and skills I acquired on Level 5 Practitioner Course, I have continued with my learning so that I can offer a wide range of reflexology options to address your health issues. I have had very good client responses to protocols that I have learned from a Danish reflexology school (Touchpoint) which includes nerve reflexology. This style can enhance other forms of reflexology in my toolbox which I can apply to address your health concerns. And because we are all unique, I design each treatment according to my Clients’ individual needs rather than ‘one treatment routine fits all’. This means the treatments are focused and bespoke for each person.
