Do you belong to any professional associations?

​

Member of the Association of Reflexologists which have a high professional standard. A high code of practice and ethics that all members ascribe to, a robust complaints procedure.  You have to be fully insured and complete ongoing training and development annually.  MAR status means the practitioner has to have passed a rigorous quality control process before they can even enter membership, and they are required to continue their learning about reflexology throughout their career.

 

Where do you give treatments?

​

The treatment is in my clinic room in a cabin at the bottom of the garden which is peaceful and quiet, with no stress for parking in an idyllic village with beautiful scenery which is calming and stress free with no traffic.

​

How long should I allow for an appointment?

​

The treatment is roughly an hour, the first appointment will be slightly longer to allow for the consultation form.

 

What do I need to bring with me to my appointment?

​

When coming for the appointment make sure you wear loose trousers around the ankle.  All medical information is needed before having the treatment.  A pair of comfortable socks and shoes.

 

How firm or gentle are your techniques?

​

When the treatment is started you will be asked if the pressure is comfortable for you which you can confirm if it is alright.

 

What medium do you use on the feet/hands?

​

Vegan creams, balms and oils will be used; if you have any allergies you must ensure the reflexologist is aware.

 

What happens when I arrive for a treatment?

​

A full medical history will be requested on your first treatment, and you will be asked to sign a consent form for treatment.  This information will be kept confidential.  Reflexology is a very easy therapy to receive; depending  on the type of reflexology, the most clothing that will have to be removed for  a treatment to take place will be your socks and shoes. 

​

The therapist will then use their hands to apply pressure to the feet, lower leg, hands.

 

How will I feel after a reflexology treatment?

​

It is useful to give feedback to the reflexologist as this may show the response of the body to treatment.  This in turn might help the reflexologist to tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs.  After one or two treatments your body may respond in a very noticeable way.  Most people note a sense of well-being and relaxation; however, sometimes people report feeling lethargic, nauseous or tearful, but this is usually transitory and reflexologists believe that it is part of the healing process.
