"I had a really wonderful first time reflexology appointment with Clare. She spent plenty of time asking about my health first and then gave lots of useful advice. The treatment room is lovely, peaceful and comfortable and I very much enjoyed the reflexology. I felt so relaxed afterwards and felt some improvement in my back pain. I’ve already booked my next appointment!"

Struggling to conceive?

Maternity Reflexology
Can reflexology help you to have an easier labour?
I’ve been a Maternity Reflexologist for over twenty years and feel very privileged to have supported hundreds of expectant mums throughout pregnancy.
Pregnancy reflexology sessions are a nurturing experience for any mum-to-be and can be a wonderful way to connect with your little one.

Balancing Hormones
As women, we’re governed by hormones, that fluctuate widely throughout our lives!
The action of hormones causes powerful physiological changes within a woman’s body.
Extreme hormone imbalance may cause the complex health conditions Endometriosis and PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome).
Unfortunately these conditions may make conception more difficult, so you can find out more about Reflexology for Fertility here
Bloating, Breast Tenderness and Irritability are common before a menstrual bleed, but if symptoms persist for a large part of your menstrual cycle, this could be a sign of PMS (Pre Menstrual Syndrome).

Perimenopause and Menopause
Struggling with Hot Flushes/Night Sweats?
Menopause can be a time of emotional upheaval, but it may be physically challenging too…
It's hard to exist on just a few hours sleep, when you’re trying to cope with work and family responsibilities.
You may be affected by just a few, or many of the numerous symptoms of perimenopause that include:
- Irregular or Missed Periods
- Scant or Heavy Menstrual Flow
- Hot Flushes
- Night Sweats
- Insomnia
- Bloating
- Loss of Libido
- Brain Fog
- Body Odour
- Vaginal Dryness
- Dry Eyes/Mouth/Skin
- Hair Loss
- Bladder Problems
- Anxiety
- Low Mood
- Reduced Confidence
If you’re over the age of 40, declining hormone levels are usually to blame and symptoms are seen as a natural part of the ageing process.
But this doesn’t make it any easier and if you feel your quality of life is being affected, seek help as this is now more widely available.
If you’re keen to try an holistic approach, some calming reflexology can be an effective way to relieve the anxiety you may be feeling.
During an initial Reflexology for Menopause session, we’ll explore how simple lifestyle changes can reinforce the effectiveness of the treatment and help you cope better with this stage of life.
You may also wish to visit your GP to discuss other options…
Reflexology works well alongside Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and provides additional calming support.
