A reflexology treatment aims to be a relaxing and restorative experience, promoting health, balance and a deep sense of well-being. Reflexologists take an holistic approach to your health and well-being. We see the body, mind and soul as inextricably linked, working as one system. Imbalance or pathology in one area will affect all of the others. Massage and pressure are applied gently to specific reflex points on the feet and lower legs and help to release blockages and restore the free and healthy flow of energy, blood, nervous connection and lymph to the whole body. This in turn has been found to alleviate stress, improve circulation, and promote overall health.
Here at The Little Clinic I blend the best of Eastern and Western healing philosophy and training with my skills in Reflexology and Holistic Acupressure. Using reflex points on the feet and acupressure points on the feet and lower legs in combination, I am able to deliver a uniquely powerful and targeted treatment.
Reflexology is now recognised and widely supported by the NHS and its health practitioners. You can search for qualified Reflexologists on the NHS website and I'm thrilled to be detailed on this list.

Reflexologists treat all bodies - from tiny infants to the very elderly. My oldest client is 99! Reflexology is gentle and non-invasive, but acts as a powerful tool for your body and mind. If you are struggling with physical pain or illness, or feeling a sense of overwhelm, low mood or anxiety, reflexology could be of help. Treatments aim to reduce stress and improve and restore balance and strength to your whole system.
It is important to note that while many people find reflexology helpful, it is not a substitute for medical treatment. Those with more serious health conditions or concerns should consult with a doctor or mainstream healthcare provider before starting reflexology.
Though individual experiences may vary, the intense relaxation and reduction in stress that reflexology provides has been found to benefit those struggling with:
5. Feedback: You may be asked for your feedback to ensure the pressure is comfortable and effective, and you might also discuss any sensations or reactions you’re experiencing. Or you can lie back, close your eyes and drift away.
6. Completion: After the main treatment, you will be given general advice on aftercare and self-care practices to help continue the treatment benefits.
7. Follow-up: Depending on your needs and preferences, you might schedule additional sessions or receive recommendations for how often to come back. For chronic or very acute issues it is often advisable to have a series of sessions. As with a physiotherapy or counselling approach, each treatment builds on the previous ones to reset and balance the systems that are out of kilter and to get on top of the presenting issue.
It is worth noting that many private healthcare plans now cover complementary therapies. My qualifications mean I am widely accepted as part of this list.
