Clinical Reflexology is a non-invasive treatment which helps the body to re-balance by beginning its own healing process and bringing about a state of homeostasis. It works on the principle that different points, or reflexes on the feet, correspond to internal organs and other structures of the body. By having the whole body represented in the feet, reflexologists believe that manipulating these areas allows not only symptoms to be treated but also the causes of symptoms.
The method has been used for several thousands of years and is known to have been practised in a similar manner by the Chinese and the Egyptians.
Benefits of Reflexology:
• Relaxation - Reflexology can be a deeply relaxing therapy and a reason in itself for having a session

• Stress Reduction - Reflexology helps to relax and re-balance the body, it also allows you to have some time to yourself
• Reduces Tension - Reflexology can relax and reduce tension in the feet which in turn reduces tension throughout the whole body
• Promotes healthy sleep
• Calms the mind
• Improves circulation in the feet and legs and boosts the entire body
• Assists in he detoxification process
• Can help strengthen the immune system
• May help to improve energy levels
• Restores equilibrium through the body

This therapy can be applied as a stand-alone treatment to support natural conception or alongside fertility treatment. It is a specialist protocol that has been pioneered and carefully developed by Barbara Scott for over 20 years.

• Regulate the menstrual cycle
• Balancing the endocrine (hormone) system
• Encourage and stimulate ovulation
• Provide relief from symptoms including PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, ovarian cysts etc.
• Support implantation
• Improve sperm count, motility and general sperm/egg quality
• Promote deep relaxation
• Reduce stress and tension
• Bring about balance to all the body systems
• Provide emotional support
• General preparation for pregnancy

The Menopause is a natural change in the female reproductive system that normally occurs between the ages 41 and 55, although perimenopausal symptoms may occur earlier. It is the process in a woman’s body when the ovaries stop producing the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. The body then reacts to the loss of hormones through several varying symptoms,
such as:
• hot flushes/night sweats
• anxiety
• fatigue
• weight gain
• mood swings
• poor concentration
• memory lapses
• headaches
• irregular periods with heavy bleeding
Reflexology is a wonderful treatment for aiding our journey through perimenopause, menopause and beyond. Reflexology will help to reduce the stress that can cause a lot of these symptoms, achieved by working to balance the Endocrine System. As a lady enjoying the second half of her life more than the first, I’m here to support you, provide relaxation, offer lifestyle advice whether holistic or allopathic and to help you find your zest for life as I did!
I would encourage the Five Pillars of Menopause;
• sleep - how can you achieve your 8 hours?
• exercise - weight-bearing, strength, flexibility, aerobic and balancing
• relaxation - deep relaxation allows the body to heal and repair
• diet - which foods will optimise your health?
• purpose - find your flow!

Reflexology has been shown to help induce labour and reduce pain during childbirth.
The days leading to childbirth can be quite stressful and often the doctor has given mum a date for the arrival of her little one and if she is over that date, mum can get stressed…it is important to remember that reflexology is a complementary treatment not a magic fix and if mum and/or baby not ready the reflexology alone isn’t necessary going to encourage them on. But, if the time is right it could be just the thing your body needs to get things going!
This is where reflexology can into play as it is not only a great tool to relax and calm mum but an extremely effective treatment to accelerate the onset of labour. Working on specific endocrine points of the feet such as; the pituitary gland, the pineal body, the thyroid and thymus glands, along with the pancreas and the ovaries to help labour along.
Treatments needed will vary…If the client has been having reflexology all the way through her pregnancy then the process of inducing labour might be easier. A one-off treatment will rarely bring labour along but in my experience it certainly helps the baby “drop”, several treatments close together would be the most beneficial.

Hot Stones are a luxury reflexology treatment and are used throughout the treatment. The hot stones will be worked along the leg to the knee and foot making it more of a spa-like experience. The heat from the stones quickly open the reflex pathways bringing about a much deeper level of relaxation than reflexology alone. The stones may also be used on areas that may appear tender or congested. Benefits of Hot Stone Reflexology are similar to clinical reflexology although the heat allowing for a deeper and intensive treatment.
Reflexology is used widely in cancer & palliative care, especially for relaxation, stress relief and wellbeing. Reflexology treatment can be adapted and integrated with conventional medical care to help support the individual needs of the client. Research has shown cancer patients who receive reflexology show significant improvements in their physical and emotional symptoms.
Reflexology may help:
• reduce nausea and vomiting
• increase energy levels
• improve quality of life
• improve the quality of sleep
• help to improve mood and frame of mind
• help alleviate pain and anxiety

Facial cupping is much more than a beauty treatment. Not only does it relax facial tension and provide lymphatic drainage, it also helps alleviate physical imbalances that manifest in our face.
Facial cupping has been around for centuries in Eastern traditions as well as Native American cultures. It is an incredible relaxing treatment which stimulates and tones the muscles and increases blood flow. This process stimulates the production of elastin and collagen which plump and tighten the structure of the face. The lymphatic drainage element removes puffiness and helps to clear the skin. It can also reduce the appearance of pigmentation, producing a more even skin tone after a few treatments. You can often see or feel a difference after having one treatment, for maximum benefit and longer lasting effects regular treatments are recommended.
Facial cupping is great for boosting the skin and for ageing well. It can be a standalone 30 min treatment or added onto 30 min Facial Reflexology or Foot Reflexology or Zone Face Lift session for maximum impact.
What does the treatment entail;
Whilst lying flat on the bed ideally wearing a a wide-necked top so I can access and apply oil to your face neck as needed. The treatment involves opening relaxation moves followed by cleansing your face using a Neal Yard cleanser and hot towel then the application of zone face lift elixir or grapeseed oil if required. Medium and small cups are used to gently suction and glide over the skin following the contours of your face, neck and décolletage as appropriate.
The facial cups are made of soft silicone and so the treatment should be relaxing and pain free. Skin may begin to feel warm during the treatment and tension in the face relaxes. Most clients find the treatment very soothing and see a difference immediately after their session. nbspThere should not be any bruising however occasionally this may happen and in this case arnica cream can be applied.nbsp
Health benefits of cupping:
bull Sinus congestion and Hay fever
bull Headaches/Migraines
bull Facial paralysis/Bells Palsy
bull Bruxism
bull Scarring
Facial cupping encourages lymphatic drainage and help to sculpt and contour the face and neck:
bull reduces fine line and wrinkles
bull firms and tones the skin and underlying muscles
bull helps reduce pore size
bull can lessen pigmentationnbsp
bull encourages collagen and elastin production
bull increases blood circulation
bull promotes clear skin and gives a plump healthy glownbsp
Contraindications
Facial cupping cannot be performed if you had Botox or Fillers (within 3 weeks of procedure)
Not recommended if on blood thinners, open wounds, multiple moles, very thin skin, very sensitive skin, any infection or contagious issue on head, neck or face such as cold sores, cystic acne or rosacea

Facial Reflexology
Zone Face Lift and Bergman Method Facial Reflexology are officially award winning Therapies!
Honoured to have trained with award-winning Ziggie Bergman, pioneer in modern Facial Reflexology and facialist to Royalty and A-list Celebrities. This incredible Bergman Method has been developed over 20 years and uses a combination of traditional reflexology, Native American techniques and Asian body maps.
The benefits of Facial Reflexology are similar to those of any other reflexology treatmenthellipaims to relax and alleviate stress by assisting the body to heal and rebalance itself. During facial reflexology gentle pressure is applied to the different reflex zones and reflexology points on the face whilst using an organic facial oil. It is believed these points directly relate to areas of the body. Facial reflexology encourages a healthy blood and lymph flow and stimulates Collagen and elastin, therefore, helping your skin to rejuvenate and minimize the appearance of ageing lines.
The face provides a beautiful and precise tool to read what is going on within the body's internal organs, central nervous system and neuro-biological system. A facial reflexology tool is applied to the face to gently balance, followed by lymphatic drainage massage movements and specific Facial Reflexology reflex points to achieve a sense of peace and harmony.
Discover the benefits:
bull promotes the production of new skin tissue
bull Leaves the skin looking radiant
bull Relieves tension in the facial muscles
bull Relieves mental strain and improves circulation
bull Helps relieves headaches and sinus congestion
This 30 min minute protocol would ideally as a standalone de-stress treatment or can added to other treatments such as 30min foot reflexology or 30min facial cupping.

About
In a previous life I was a Research Scientist, working in industry and academia . After a personally challenging year l retired and found Reflexology which changed the course of my life. Upon graduating with a distinction, I went to Christie’s Cancer hospital, Manchester to adapt my reflexology for Cancer & Hospice Care. Here I learned to incorporate healing energy within my treatments rendering them even more powerful. Over the years I travelled throughout the country doing advanced reflexology courses such as: Award-winning Lymphatic Drainage Reflexology, Maternity Reflexology, Fertility Reflexology, Menopause Reflexology, Hot Stone Reflexology, Facial Reflexology & Facial Cupping/Facial Sculpting. Most recently I have completed the award-winning Zone Face Lift (ZFL) treatment.
