This client came to me after a difficult chapter — she’d left her profession, was feeling overwhelmed, and no longer recognised herself.

She had ideas about what she wanted next, but confidence was low, and she wasn’t sure how to begin.

Together, we looked at her life as a whole — not just what wasn’t working, but what mattered to her, what inspired her, and what she hadn’t been able to say out loud.

What shifted wasn’t sudden — it was steady. Small steps. A little more clarity. A little more energy.

She started backing herself again. And with that, things began to open.

She’s now in a new career that actually feels like her — and most importantly, she feels strong in the choices she’s made.

Anon, North West England

This client came to me after years of carrying more than anyone knew.


Her work was demanding, but meaningful — and still, the emotional weight from early trauma and ongoing family strain felt like it followed her everywhere.

She’d tried other forms of support, but nothing seemed to reach the part of her that still felt stuck.

In our work together, we didn’t rush toward fixing.


We created space for what hadn’t been spoken — and what was still impacting her nervous system, even now.

Over time, she began to feel steadier in herself.


She started recognising what she needed, and found her own way of meeting it — with clearer boundaries, more compassion, and a deeper understanding of what grounded her.

This is still an unfolding process, like it is for many.

But she’s no longer carrying it alone — and the difference that’s made is undeniable.

When this woman came to me, she was deep in a transition that didn’t have clear language.


She described it as an awakening — everything around her was shifting, and she no longer felt balanced or steady in herself.

Anxiety had taken hold. Work felt impossible. Even her physical health was under strain.

What she needed most was someone who could hold space for it all — the emotions she couldn’t name, the questions she couldn’t answer, and the part of her that was opening, but scared.

Together, we created that space.


She released what had been held in for too long.


She laughed, cried, and slowly reconnected with her self-worth — not as an idea, but as something felt. Over time, things began to settle.


She returned to work with clearer boundaries.


Her home life felt less like a pressure cooker, more like a place she could actually breathe.

And as she made space for herself, she also made space for something deeper — a quiet spiritual connection that gave her a new kind of strength.

She came to me in the thick of it.


A complex, emotionally intense family situation had taken over her thoughts — she said it felt like it was “consuming every moment.”

She was trying to keep it all together, but the overwhelm was bleeding into every part of her life.


She didn’t need advice.


She needed to be heard by someone outside the situation — someone who could hold space without judgment or expectation.

And that’s what we did. In our sessions, she let herself be honest.


She named things she hadn’t said out loud.


And slowly, things started to shift — not around her, but within her.

She began to feel steadier.


More anchored in herself.


She found a rhythm that worked for her — boundaries that felt strong but kind, and a deeper trust in her own intuition.

She still returns for support when she needs it, like many of my clients do. But these days, she meets life from a different place — one rooted in clarity, gratitude, and self-worth that’s no longer fragile.

Anon, UK

This client came to me mid-transition — not because her life had fallen apart, but because she’d chosen to leave what was no longer right for her.

What followed wasn’t easy.


She’d lived through early relationships that left deep marks, and even though she’d taken bold steps forward, the emotional weight hadn’t caught up to the change.

Over our time together, we’ve worked gently but steadily.


Not on fixing — but on returning to herself.


To her values. Her sense of purpose. Her right to feel safe in her own body and future. She’s done this work with vulnerability and grit.


She’s asked big questions. Let go of old patterns. And slowly, has built a life that fits — not one that just functions.

There’s still more unfolding to come.


But she’s no longer carrying it alone — and the foundation she’s building now is hers.

Anon, Merseyside

This client came to me in the middle of heartbreak.


Her relationship had ended, and with it went the version of life she thought she was building. She didn’t come looking for goals — she came needing a space to be honest.


She felt low, raw, and unsure who she was outside of the pain.


What she said early on was, “I just want to feel like myself again.”

So that’s where we began.

In our sessions, she unpacked the layers — the grief, the betrayal, the way she'd been left holding everything alone.


We worked gently with emotional tools — tapping, nervous system work, mindset shifts — but mostly, we stayed with her truth.

She slowly started to return to herself.

Her self-trust began to rebuild.


Her ability to meet the demands of solo parenting with steadiness grew.


Not through pressure — but through space, insight, and real support.

There’s still healing happening, as there always is.


But her direction is clear now — and her strength isn’t about holding it all together.


It’s about knowing when she doesn’t have to.

Reflexology during pregnancy is such as wonderful relaxing and balancing treatment. My client originally came to me for Pre-Conception Reflexology, she successfully became pregnant and continued with treatments through her pregnancy. She returned last year with baby No.2! I treated her towards her due date in January 2025 for a number of pregnancy symptoms. Reflexology is a great preparation for birth for relaxing Mum and baby. Our last treatment was to focus on using trained stimulating techniques which prepare the body and expediate birth. She had a straightforward natural birth and Mum and baby are happy and healthy!

When this lady attended for Maternity Reflexology she was suffering with a number of symptoms as well as anxiety and depression. It was important to her to feel relaxed and to be able to restore and feel nurtured. Each session incorporated a treatment plan to address all her symptoms as well as attending to her emotional balance and anxiety. In a complex case like this it is important to work alongside the GP and midwives to ensure Mum and baby are feeling relaxed. Pregnancy can be a very challenging time and this lady received support from all professionals. Visiting me for Reflexology helped her to feel heard and safe, it also helped alleviate troublesome symptoms and improved her sleep. She went on to deliver a beautiful baby boy, to thrive as a Mum and felt returned to her previous wellness.

This lady first came to me having suffered five miscarriages, she was feeling very lost and low. After an initial phone consultation we began treatment. It's important clients feel safe, relaxed and heard. This lady's original aim was to become pregnant and successfully go to full term, but it was also important for her to feel better in all ways. She soon noticed that minor ailments began to improve, along with her energy levels and general well-being. I was over the moon when she attended an appointment and told me she was pregnant, this pregnancy surpassed all her other pregnancies. She and her husband now have a beautiful daughter.
