Ta-Dah!

Ta-Dah!

Finally, after 15 years of working as a reflexologist I’ve added a blog page to my website.  This first one is a general hello – and to let you know that more will be coming. Thanks to Sue and Mike and the team at HealthHosts for setting this up for me. It’s something I’ve thought about doing off and on over the years, and my resolution for 2026 is to write something every month!

One of the reasons I wanted to add a blog is to write in a little more detail about the different reasons clients come for reflexology – it’s a question I get asked a lot by people in general everyday life who’ve never had it before.  There are a lot of myths around who should or shouldn’t have it and what it can do. Firstly, reflexology should never be used as an alternative to seeking medical help. It doesn’t treat illness or disease, it treats the person. Secondly, it’s worth underlining it isn’t an alternative therapy, it’s a complementary one. Thirdly, it’s a therapy that can be enjoyed by people of any age, however if I don’t think it is suitable for you, I will always say.

My top tip, whenever or wherever you book for a treatment, is to always make sure you book with somebody who is qualified to a level that they’re registered or affiliated with a professional association like the AoR (Association of Reflexologists),  and or the CNHC (Complementary Natural Healthcare Council).  Not only does it show that they are trained to professional standards, it also means they are bound by that association’s codes and practices.

Of the many hundreds of clients I’ve seen in the last 15 years, people have come for all sorts of different reasons. Pregnancy reflexology quickly became a big part of my business after first qualifying and so I think my next post in January will be a topic linked to pregnancy.

Enjoy the holidays and I’ll be back in the new year.
