Can you tell us how you got into reflexology and a bit about your background?
From an early age I knew I was a healer. I wanted nothing more than to help others to smile. Yet, after temporarily losing my sight and later being diagnosed with MS, I realised that I was in need of healing myself. This began an epic journey across the globe to discover the body’s healing potential through the practice of reflexology. It was my healing journey that led me to learn about the body, and reflexology literally landed at my feet. I studied in Ireland at first, then in Australia and later in South Africa, caring for my own dis-ease before setting up business in Ireland to share the wonderful benefits of reflexology and its healing practices with others. I am diagnosed with MS, yet my belief in working with the body’s natural systems has meant that, for me, my symptoms are kept under control. I still live a fully functional lifestyle without medication. I hike. I move as I always have done. I am in optimum health. What has guided you to Market Harborough? I have been called back to my hometown of Market Harborough and I see it as the perfect homecoming in being able to return with an inspiring story of health and wellness and to share these practices with others. What is reflexology and what services can you offer? It is a type of healing that works directly with your nervous system through your feet, hands, ears or face. By manipulating certain points, we are enabling the body’s natural systems to release blocks, tension, stress, and dis-ease within the body making space for increased energy, better digestion, reduced anxiety, and so many more benefits that you simply have to experience. I offer reflexology suitable for all types of people at any age. As a foot health practitioner, I also offer Elite Footcare, which is perfect for athletes, sports enthusiasts and professionals across all walks of life. What do you find most rewarding about your work? I love it when clients tell me how energised they feel or how calm and bright they’ve become from the experience of reflexology. It really can be the difference between feeling stuck and being released from dis-comfort within your body. Have you treated anyone noteworthy? I have treated people that you see on the TV and sports personalities as well as business people. Yet, I believe everyone is noteworthy because everyone is important. What are your hopes for the future? My goal is simple. To share what I have come to know as a way of life, and through this, to help others live their lives with more balance and harmony.
