About me
I have always had a love for COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES. My passion for Reflexology was heightened during my journey to try for pregnancy. After my first pregnancy having gone through a lot of complications, and early miscarriage, i suffered a lot to fall pregnant and was very stressed and anxious and scared. I started having Reflexology weekly and after 6 months fell pregnant. During my pregnancy, reflexology helped me to relieve symptoms of Pelvic Girdle Pain, morning sickness and exhaustion. I knew then that i had to become a reflexologist to help others experience this wonderful therapy.
I strive to help you achieve your natural balance,improve your health and provide an overall, sense of well-being. I practice from my home clinic in Potters Bar.
I am a qualified reflexologist based in Potters Bar. With over 20 years experience.
I specialise in:-
Infertility, Pregnancy, Maternity& Labour reflexology,

As a member of Association of Reflexology, for nearly 25 years, I have been vetted to ensure my qualification not only meets the National Occupational Standards and core curriculum for Reflexology. As a member I have committed to demonstrating the highest professional standards in my practice. This means that I continue my learning every year whilst practicing through continuous professional studies (CPD).
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a natural and safe therapy that uses the technique of applying gentle pressure to reflex points on the feet, hands or face. It is based on the theory that different reflex points correspond with different areas of the body. By stimulating these reflex points a positive response can be achieved in the corresponding part of the body. It is a therapy that can be received by anyone at any age.
So is it a foot or hand massage?
Reflexology is different than massage. Reflexology works through nerve endings where as massage is applied to all over the body.
Reflexology is not a ‘modern‘ alternative therapy. The Chinese used a form of foot massage 5000 years ago and developed it alongside acupuncture. American Indians practiced a form of Reflexology for hundreds of years. They were aware of the exchange of energy from the earth through the feet and the importance of not having any blockages in the feet to hinder the movement of energy. It origins go back as far as 2300 BC. An Egyptian mural in the tomb of a famous physician depicts what appears to be a Reflexology treatment being performed on hands and feet.

Reflexology Lymph Drainage
I am fully qualified in Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage and I am an Approved RLD practitioner.
Reflexology Lymph Drainage - RLD is an evidence based, award winning, Reflexology technique built on the same principles as Lymphatic Drainage Massage/Manual Lymphatic Drainage(MLD). This ground breaking technique focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet using reflexology.
When Lymphodema occurs, it generally causes swelling in all or part of a limb making it difficult to fit into clothes and wear jewellery. the swelling may fluctuate through the day and it untreated will usually increase in severity. It can cause aching, a heavy feeling, discomfort and difficulty walking, tight skin, difficulty in movement.
Lymphodema is defined as tissue swelling due to the failure of lymph drainage and a swollen limb can exacerbate this. Research suggests that survivors with lymphodema are more likely to suffer psychological and emotional difficulties, be more disabled and experience a poor quality of life than survivors without the condition.
