Reflexology is gentle and non-harmful, but there are some situations which may mean it is not the most suitable treatment.

​

Please do not book or attend an appointment if you have any coronavirus symptoms.

​

Reflexologists cannot diagnose medical conditions. If you have any health concerns, contact your GP.

If you are under the care of a physician, please consult them before booking. Reflexology works brilliantly alongside conventional healthcare. Do give me a call if you have a condition you would like to discuss.

​

Reflexology is wonderful for supporting mental health, but please seek specialist help if you feel your symptoms are lasting a long time or interfering with your normal life.

​

Check with a podiatrist if you suspect you have a contagious foot or nail condition.

​

It is not appropriate to treat a client with fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, infectious disease or DVT. 

​

You should wait at least a week before booking an appointment after having a vaccination, having an IUD fitted or finishing a course of antibiotics.

​

Facial reflexology is not recommended with fillers or botox.

​

Reflexology is not usually recommended in the first trimester of pregnancy. It is, however, hugely beneficial to feel relaxed while trying to conceive and during the final 6 months of pregnancy so this is a very good time to enjoy reflexology. There is anecdotal evidence that it can help induce labour, if the baby is ready. It is also a very nurturing and restoring therapy during the 4th trimester and it's no problem if the mum wishes to cuddle or breastfeed the baby during the treatment.

​

Teenagers can benefit enormously from reflexology, particularly if suffering from anxiety, low self-esteem or exam stress. Signed permission is required from a parent or carer of under 16s, and any findings or recommendations will be discussed with the parent or carer so they can decide how much to inform the child.

​

Short, adapted treatments can also be lots of fun and very beneficial for babies and young children. Parents can easily learn techniques to enjoy with their little ones.

​

Elderly people can also gain many benefits from reflexology, although it may take several sessions to begin seeing improvements in chronic conditions. If mobility or tender feet make reflexology difficult, I can work with the hands instead. 

​

Many people with ADHD or ASD find reflexology particularly grounding and relaxing.

​

I am only prepared to work in a smoke-free environment.
