About Me
I have a degree in French and Spanish and have lived between France and Spain for three years. My initial career was a primary teacher, both abroad and in the UK. My interest in health and wellbeing continued to grow in my early twenties and by my late twenties, I had embarked on the reflexology path, then reiki at a later date. Being a holistic therapist gives me the opportunity to use my natural abilities and passion to help people enhance their health and wellbeing. Some clients have described me as their wellbeing coach, helping them to keep on track with being mindful of planning in time to take care of themselves.
I am forever amazed at how the body will do all that it can to reach homeostasis (natural state). The continuous journey with my clients shows me how much having consistent holistic therapies in this modern world, can really help us to stay in balance, connected, feeling more alive and relaxed.
"If you're feeling out of kilter, don't know why or what about, let your feet reveal the answer, find the sore spot, work it out."
Eunice Ingham
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary therapy following the principle that each part of the body is linked to reflex or pressure points that are found in the feet, hands and ears. By using various techniques and applying specific pressure to a reflex, either a more soothing or energising effect, aids the body to return to homeostasis. Reflexology aids relaxation and restoration which has long-term benefits for enhancing wellbeing.
Reflexology Session
What will my first reflexology session involve?
The initial session is divided into two parts. Firstly, an in-depth consultation is carried out. It is really helpful if the client brings their medical history written down so that we can discuss that also, and add it to the consultation form. This will give me a good idea about how I will work with you.
The second part of the session consists of a full investigatory treatment. This part of the session normally involves working on the feet. It is possible to work the hands or ears as alternatives to working the feet, if this is more convenient for you.
Information gathered from both the consultation and
investigatory session is used to create a bespoke treatment plan for the client.
What is Reiki?
Reiki can be described as a practice that encourages the universal flow energy to work through the body, aiding the release of blockages, balancing the chakra and energy systems which also surround the body. Yes, we really are amazing! Cleansing the body and ensuring that all chakras are balanced can help significantly with getting in touch with our intuition, which is essential for navigating life.
The first time I had Reiki, I set the intent to wake my body up and see more colour. That was the actual experience that I had, the most indescribable sensations and a range of colours. I suddenly felt more energised and alive. A few years later I kept getting huge nudges to train in Reiki, the feeling was that it was something for me to pass on as well as enhance my own sessions and self-practice. That is what I do now. I share Reiki with people of all ages and walks of life. The experiences during the sessions are always very unique, which amazes me every time and I'm sure that it always will. I feel that the only way of truly knowing whether Reiki is for you is to give it a go!
What to expect during a Reiki session
The initial session involves a questionnaire and full reiki session. It is helpful for me to learn what you want out of the session, then the intent is set for the healing to work with key areas in mind. Reiki energy is intelligent and will help soften and move those blockages that can may have been making you feel a bit 'stuck' in your tracks.
The session is on a therapy bed and the Reiki energy is sent by placing the hands on and off the body. There is an option for the session to be completely hands off too. We discuss this before starting the session.

Testimonials
I highly recommend Emma as a caring professional reflexologist who uses her intuition to help her clients on many levels. Emma goes the extra mile to support, looking at lifestyle and nutrition and empowering her clients to want to help themselves. Emma can adapt her techniques to suit each person, creating a personalised treatment and has helped many people to improve their physical and emotional wellbeing. AW, Contemporary Reflexology College
Emma came to my home to offer some reiki during a very transitional and chaotic period of my life when I was moving home. I wasn't feeling particularly grounded and although I knew the whole experience would be nourishing and relaxing, I wasn't prepared for how much I needed this time out from my busy schedule. I presumed that Emma would come over and work on me for an hour and then I would return to unpacking boxes, but what I found was that as I was laying down in my own living room, Emma's calming presence allowed me to really come into my body, feel my emotions and just stop for a moment and process this big life change that had recently undergone. Emma has a remarkable ability to make me feel safe and make me feel safe with my body. Not many people, if anyone has managed to do that before. Within 15-20 minutes I dozed into the deepest sleep that I'd had in two weeks and I felt rejuvenated afterwards and far more motivated to carry out some of the essential tasks I needed to do to start to feel more settled. Whereas prior to that, my motivation was lacking. I am very interested in pursuing Reiki further, both as private study and also in having sessions with Emma. It was unbelievably healing and beyond just relaxation within the body. I highly recommend a session with Emma.

I had a reflexology session this afternoon with Emma and it was amazing! I find it really hard to relax and switch off and with Emma’s guided meditation and reflexology suited to my needs, I instantly calmed and at one point I felt like I was floating. If you’ve never experienced it then book in now!
I would highly recommend Emma, I have been having regular treatments throughout my pregnancy and it has helped with numerous symptoms. Emma is very professional, warm and welcoming. I will most definitely be continuing treatments beyond pregnancy as they have been incredible. Thank you Emma
Emma is the best reflexologist! I can only recommend her highly to everyone as she is such a gifted healer with a wealth of knowledge. Emma is so dedicated to reflexology for the right reasons; she has a genuine desire to help others. Each session that I have been to has been a slice of heaven. Emma takes you through a guided meditation which is helpful with mindfulness and relaxation and focuses on the areas you need, specifically tackling your ailments. You feel so rejuvenated after a session, it is greatly uplifting and healing for the whole body, mind and soul. Emma is a wonderful person and is very kind, welcoming and conscientious. She listens attentively and considers carefully what areas you might need to be worked on the most. She is capable of relaxing pressure and deep pressure too if you want it, which can be so therapeutic. Highly recommended!
