Reflexology, Maternity Reflexology and Reiki in Carlby near Stamford and Bourne in Lincolnshire and Oakham in Rutland
Reflexology is an amazing and very popular complementary therapy, chosen by many people. Reflexology is used or promoted in many hospitals and medical centres. It is often recommended by midwives and counsellors. I have been practicing as a reflexologist since 2002. I have studied under some of the leading tutors of various branches of reflexology and love what I do. As a member of the Association of Reflexologists I am governed by their code of conduct and insurance requirements.
I have been privileged to witness the remarkable, positive results reflexology has brought to my clients, in many cases changing their lives.
Stress, IBS, depression, sciatica, insomnia, migraine, panic attacks and many other conditions respond well to this gentle and enjoyable therapy.

...feel the difference...
Restorative Reflexology incorporates several theories - reflex/zone therapy (the original method), acupressure points and meridian work, energy chakra balancing - making a treatment amazingly effective and easy to adapt to your own situation.
Stressed Out? Exhausted?
Often the stress and buzz of a hectic lifestyle can be exciting, but eventually prolonged, long-term stress can throw the body's systems totally out of balance, often leading first to minor ailments and then to more serious illness. More than 70% of ailments are caused or aggravated by stress.
As well as working on the appropriate reflex points and energy meridians, Restorative Reflexology induces a very deep state of relaxation similar to that achieved by people who practise meditation. While the body and mind are so relaxed, all the systems balance, heart rate slows, blood pressure reduces, leading to better health and a stronger immune system.
You leave the treatment feeling calm and energised.
Mind in a Mess? Indecisive?
Work on the reflex for the brow chakra is said to improve intuition and drastically improve clarity of thought.
This helps with making decisions and when you can't 'see the wood for the trees'.
On a De-tox Diet?
The treatment can emphasise the reflex points for all the organs involved in elimination which can speed up the detox process. The points for clarity and focus are also included as this helps with staying power and resisting temptation!
Pregnancy/IVF/Infertility
It is well documented that regular reflexology during pregnancy can lead to a shorter labour. (Dr. Gowri Motha & Dr. Jane McGrath, London).
Many discomforts of pregnancy can be helped such as morning sickness, back-ache, heartburn, insomnia, constipation, fatigue.
During the final stages of pregnancy reflexology may induce a baby to turn to the correct position and, with the midwife's approval, can be used to encourage the start of contractions.
My pregnant clients have their treatments in a comfortable chair, sitting in fairly upright position to keep the pressure of the baby off the vena cava. Many expectant mothers feel very warm, so in the summer (or any time) I have a fan in the treatment room, to keep my client cool.
IVF
Clients going through IVF have found reflexology to be very helpful. I work intensively on the ovary reflexes before the eggs are taken, and have had some excellent results even when previous IVF programmes have failed. The deep calm and relaxation helps with the emotional/hormonal issues.
Infertility
I don't like to advertise reflexology for infertility, in case of disappointment. However, several of my clients diagnosed with 'unexplained infertility' have become pregnant after Restorative Reflexology. And I accept it could have happened anyway - who knows. I delight in all of my reflexology babies.
Chakra Balance
When I balance the foot reflexes for the base energy chakra with the crown chakra, many people feel a physical sensation of balancing.
One client said it felt like a lot of broken lines all joining into one to make a straight line and everything seemed to make more sense.
Another client said she felt that her body had physically jumped at this point in the treatment and she knew she was going to feel better.
Yet another client who was recovering from cancer said she felt a huge feeling of calm come over her when I worked the crown chakra. She really looked forward to this part of the treatment; for her it provided the biggest benefit.
Clients seeing colours are drawing in energy
Many clients see colours during the Restorative Reflexology treatment. These are the colours of the energy chakras.
If one colour predominates, this indicates the chakra relating to this colour is drawing energy into itself because that is what is needed by that person at that time.
A client recently said he saw a lot of the colour blue that would not go away. Blue relates to the throat chakra, which manages creativity, communication and self expression.
In our discussion after the treatment, he admitted he kept things bottled up inside himself and was not good at talking to his partner and sharing his feelings. He needed energy in this chakra to help him achieve balance.
Not everyone sees colours and I'm afraid I don't know what makes the difference.
