REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is an accessible complementary therapy that is suitable for people of all ages. It eases you out of a stress response and into a state of deep relaxation, without you having to do anything, and is less inhibiting than some other touch therapies as you only need to take off your socks and shoes.
Sessions reduce tension, aid sleep, improve mood, promote a sense of physical and emotional wellbeing and provide time in a safe space, to be listened to or switch off and rest. You may also wish to wrap up in a cosy blanket and listen to a choice of your own music.

"I have had reflexology from Jane for a number of weeks for shoulder and hip pain and general wellbeing. I now have no
shoulder pain and my hip pain is easing considerably. As for the wellbeing, it certainly eases the soul."

Reflexology is based on the principle that all organs, structures and systems of the body have a corresponding reflex point on the hands, feet and face. Working these reflexes properly may assist wellbeing in a safe and natural way, reducing everyday stresses and strains, revitalising energy levels, optimising good health and building resilience.

I have been practicing for over 20 years and have extensive experience working with:
​​​
-
Mobilisation and the treatment of pain
-
Stress related conditions, fatigue, anxiety and depression
-

-

-
Women’s Health, from menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, through to menopause. Support for endometriosis.

I am trained in a variety of reflexology methods and techniques, which allows me to provide a treatment session uniquely suited to the specific needs of each client. I have also trained in foot mobilisation reflexology which focuses on the flexibility and structure of the foot and looks at how important our foot health is for happy knees, hips and backs. As a yoga therapist and somatic practitioner, I also bring other techniques into sessions where appropriate.
Feel free to contact me for more information on how Reflexology might support you.

It was discovered and developed by Lynne Booth and her accredited classes have been taught internationally. VRT has received an award from the Institute of Complementary and Natural Medicine (ICNM) for its 'Outstanding Contribution to Complementary Medicine'.
