Reflexology is an ancient therapy based on the principle that different parts of the body are reflected in the feet and/or hands. Reflexology helps to promote wellbeing and health by the application of gentle pressure or massage to different areas on the feet or hands. It is also a deeply relaxing treatment.
By using gentle pressure on specific reflexes on the feet, my aim is to stimulate and so improve circulation; and to restore balance and healthy functioning within the body.
As a holistic practitioner, I am able to offer a deeply relaxing and nurturing treatment that will aim to boost the immune system, relieve stress and tension, and improve general wellbeing.
The benefits of receiving reflexology treatment can include:
..and many other improvements in health.
After a treatment, it is important to drink plenty of water to help flush away toxins and impurities from the body. Resting afterwards will also aid the healing process.
Reflexology has been used for many thousands of years in China, and also in Egypt.
The reflexology method we use in the present day were developed in America by a woman called Eunice Ingham. She based her technique on ‘Zone Therapy’ described earlier in the 1920’s by Dr William Fitzgerald. Reflexology was brought to Britain by Doreen Bayly in the early 1960’s, who was determined to stimulate interest and awareness of this most beneficial and relaxing therapy.

I highly recommend Lizzie, she built a great relationship with my sister. Lizzie did foot reflexology massage and also reading on a weekly basis. My sister really looked forward to the visits from Lizzie, she responded well to the reflexology and she enjoyed 'Where the Crawdads sing', a lovely story involving a court case. Lizzie also visited my sister in hospital and went above and beyond for my sister. We really appreciated having Lizzie involved

Lizzie is an empathetic and considerate therapist. She took great care of me and was diligent in following up the effects of the previous session. I felt very safe with her and wholeheartedly recommend her as a Reflexologist.

I had a series of Reflexology sessions with Lizzie and i cannot recommend her highly enough. The sessions were very very relaxing and had lasting benefits to my health.
