I Have a BA.Hons in Psychology and Sociology and I am a fully qualified level 5 Clinically trained Reflexologist.
I have always had an affinity with holistic therapies such as massage, acupressure and Aromatherapy, which was nurtured during my childhood raised with an Indian heritage. In our ancestral home, on the outskirts of Kolkata, India, we lived as an extended family, thirty or more members and many children. The home had a big courtyard with a temple within it and its own lake. There were long balconies and rooftops, for us all to play, study, celebrate life and festivals as well as occasionally the mourning of passed relatives. Massage and scents are used extensively from birth through to the end of life. We would bathe and swim in the lake, wash and be massaged with various oils, there were always the smells of Neem, sandalwood, Rose, Jasmine filling the air, and our home with incense sticks and scented burners. There were other smells of spices from the wonderful cooking and the abundant smell of roses, carnations, lilies, hibiscus, and lotus flowers for the garlands (Malas) and pujas.
I have an extensive background in Psychology and Health and Social Care, Where I have carried out roles which required sensitivity, empathy as well as resilience, to enable me to support or advocate for people who have had difficulties or been in vulnerable situations. I have also worked within multidisciplinary teams which involved teams working with clients from a variety of modalities and have seen how reflexology and other body work has achieved great results, enabling Clients to feel more relaxed and connected to themselves and others. Together all these influences and experiences add to my reflexology practice.
I am an experienced and empathetic reflexologist who is passionate about helping people through Reflexology.
I am fully insured to provide Reflexology massage and treatments.
Reflexology’s journey began over 5000 years ago, with roots in ancient healing practices of India and China. In India, it was part of Ayurveda, focusing on the balance of energy in the body, while in China, it developed alongside acupuncture, emphasizing the flow of Qi.
Western reflexology has its roots in the early 20th century,Dr. William H. Fitzgerald from the United States introduced the concept of “Zone Therapy,” which is the foundation of modern reflexology. Fitzgerald’s work was based on the idea that applying pressure to specific areas on the feet and hands could alleviate pain in corresponding parts of the body within the same zone.
The practice was further developed by Eunice Ingham in the 1930s, also in the US. She is credited with mapping the foot and hand charts used today and developing the thumb and finger walking technique that is characteristic of reflexology. Ingham’s method, termed “Reflexology,” emphasized the science of reflex areas and their relation to bodily organs and systems. Her work laid the groundwork for reflexology as a popular complementary therapy in Western countries.
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves applying varied pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and sometimes the ears and face. These points are thought to reflect different body areas and emotional states. By applying pressure, I aim to support your body’s balance and well-being, potentially easing stress and discomfort. It’s known for stimulating nerve endings, which may enhance bodily functions and energy, and can help clear pathways, possibly improving organ efficiency and metabolism. The result is often a sense of calm and relaxation.”
