Clare Minter Therapies Reflexology, Facial Reflexology and Zone Face Lift in Saffron Walden, Essex

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, my Practice has been temporarily closed, but lockdown restrictions are gradually being eased in a phased process in England. The Government's Covid-19 Recovery Strategy states that those of us offering therapeutic services (which comes under the category of ‘Personal Care’) won’t be able to re-open until Step 3 of the process. This is planned for 4th July 2020 at the earliest and will depend on infection rates remaining low.

The safety and wellbeing of my clients has - and always be - paramount, so I will continue to follow developments closely and will be guided by my professional associations - the Association of Reflexologists and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council.

When I re-open the Practice, the usual high standards of hygiene that you are used to will be enhanced and controls will be put in place to minimise risks and ensure everyone’s safety. I will be carrying out additional training and implementing other precautions and will update this information as things develop.

I am really looking forward to being able to provide you with some much-needed nurturing and relaxation therapy - when the time is right and I feel that it is safe and appropriate to do so.

In these increasingly stressful times, it’s more important than ever to incorporate some much needed self-care into our busy lives...

My range of blissful Holistic Therapies will ensure that you are able to totally unwind and 'switch off' from the hustle and bustle of your daily routine.

Come and be cosseted in my Therapy Room sanctuary - tucked away in tranquil surroundings near Saffron Walden, Essex, yet within easy reach of Stansted, Bishops Stortford, Thaxted, Great Dunmow, Haverhill and Cambridge.

I am delighted to offer clients a totally natural and non-invasive approach to aging - in the form of two wonderful treatments that encourage natural skin rejuvenation.

I have been trained by Ziggie Bergman (Belgravia-based “Facial Reflexologist to the Stars”), who has developed her own method of Facial Reflexology and a more intensive treatment incorporating Facial Massage and the use of tools to ‘lift’ and tone the face - Zone Face Lift.

Stress is a very real part of our very busy lives and many of us may find ourselves juggling work with caring responsibilities - tending to neglect our own needs until we start to suffer poor health...

Self-care is a phrase that is increasingly being bandied about, but if we take care of ourselves, we stay fit and well - our bodies are balanced (both on a physical and emotional level) and our health is optimised.

We are able to get a much better night's sleep, our digestive system works efficiently and we cope much better with the things that life throws at us!

Making your own self-care a priority isn’t indulgent or selfish - it’s necessary. Looking after yourself will enable you to look after the special people in your life.

As women, there’s no getting away from it! We are governed by our hormones and they can fluctuate widely at different times of our lives.

When you are trying to conceive or are expecting a baby, these fluctuations may become more noticeable, but even the monthly menstrual cycle can have its difficulties and cause unpleasant symptoms, such as PMS.

But the biggest changes occur in the time leading up to Menopause (when menstration stops completely), at the average age of 52.

If you are in your forties, you may have already started to experience Perimenopausal signs such as Hot Flushes, Insomnia, Loss of Libido, Anxiety and Skin Problems...

It is advisable to see your GP if you are at all concerned about any of your symptoms, as a blood test can be arranged to check your hormone levels.

Whilst I do appreciate that appointments sometimes need to be rescheduled, please be aware that if you give me less than 48 hours notice (unless I am able to fill your appointment), I reserve the right to charge you 50% of the total session fee.

If you give me less than 24 hours notice, I reserve the right to charge you the total cost of the session. Whilst I do not like having to do this, it has become necessary to ensure the smooth running of my business. Thanks for your understanding and co-operation.
