Specialities
With over three decades of experience as a reflexologist, my journey has always been guided by the principle of meeting the right clients at the right time. While I never specifically set out to specialize in any one area, I have had the privilege of helping individuals with a wide range of health challenges through reflexology. Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand how this holistic modality can effectively address many concerns, from acute discomforts to chronic conditions. While chronic issues often require a series of sessions for optimal results, the positive changes are often felt after the very first treatment—enough to inspire clients to return for continued care.
Incorporating Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT-Tapping) into my practice in 2010 was a pivotal moment in my career. Tapping added a powerful dimension to my work, as it addresses the connection between mind and body. Traumas and difficult experiences can trigger imbalances in the central nervous system, leading to increased stress and a heightened likelihood of health challenges. Integrating EFT-Tapping has proven to be a highly effective way to restore balance and support long time healing.
Below, I have described some of the areas I work with regularly:
Fertility
Reflexology can help regulate hormone levels, enhance circulation to reproductive organs, and reduce stress—critical elements in supporting fertility. This approach is beneficial for individuals undergoing fertility treatments or those trying to conceive naturally by promoting relaxation and overall wellness.
Injury Recovery
Stimulating reflex points linked to injured areas can boost circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate the body’s natural healing process. Reflexology is often used alongside physical therapy to manage pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery.
Pre & Postpartum
During pregnancy, reflexology can alleviate common discomforts such as nausea, swelling, and back pain. Postpartum, it supports hormone balance, reduces stress, and aids recovery, helping new mothers adjust to their changing bodies and new routines.
Anxiety & Stress Relief
By activating the parasympathetic nervous system, reflexology induces deep relaxation and reduces cortisol levels, making it an excellent tool for managing stress, anxiety, and symptoms of burnout. This approach helps restore emotional balance and fosters a sense of calm.
Cancer Care
Reflexology is a complementary therapy for individuals undergoing cancer treatment, offering relief from chemotherapy side effects, reducing pain, and improving overall quality of life. It promotes relaxation, emotional well-being, and a sense of calm during a challenging time.
Chronic Illness Support
For those dealing with chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, or diabetes, reflexology can help manage symptoms by improving circulation, reducing pain, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. It offers a gentle, holistic approach to managing long-term health challenges.
Geriatric
Designed specifically for older adults, this specialization aims to improve mobility, reduce joint pain, enhance circulation, and support overall well-being. It can be particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with arthritis, balance issues, and cognitive health concerns.
Headaches & Migraines
Reflexology can help reduce the frequency and severity of headaches and migraines by targeting reflex points related to the nervous system, head, and neck. It promotes nervous system balance, which may alleviate tension headaches and help manage chronic migraines.
Digestive Health
Reflexology supports individuals with digestive issues such as IBS, constipation, bloating, and acid reflux by stimulating reflex points linked to the stomach, intestines, and liver. This approach can improve digestion and promote optimal gut function.
Sports & Athletic Performance
Ideal for athletes, reflexology aids in muscle recovery, injury prevention, and performance enhancement. By improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and promoting relaxation, it helps athletes perform at their best and recover more quickly after physical activity.
Sleep & Insomnia
Reflexology can help regulate sleep patterns by targeting reflex points associated with the nervous system, adrenal glands, and melatonin production. It promotes deeper relaxation, making it an effective treatment for those struggling with insomnia or poor sleep quality.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
PCOS affects millions of women, impacting hormonal balance, fertility, metabolism, and emotional well-being. By stimulating specific reflex points many women find relief from symptoms such as irregular cycles, fatigue, and tension through regular sessions. Combining EFT with Reflexology can not only help the body heal but help the mind heal from the difficulties this health challenge creates.
