Reflexology
Reflexology is a truly holistic therapy addressing the root cause of a condition in order to eliminate the symptoms that trouble us. It is an extremely relaxing experience that can help us to heal not only on a physical level but helps us to cope mentally and emotionally too. The technique of reflexology encourages our body to find its natural state of balance in order to maintain health in all areas of our lives.

About
Melanie Baker MAR
I am a fully qualified reflexologist and maternity reflexologist who is insured and a member of the Association of Reflexologists.
​
I believe it is important and empowering to manage our own health, I'm therefore passionate about supporting clients in adopting a healthier life style to ensure optimum well being alongside my reflexology treatments. As part of my commitment to life-long growth and learning, I am continuing my studies in health, wellbeing and nutrition.
Reflexology encourages your body’s own healing mechanisms. It is a natural, non-invasive treatment that can have impressive results. The gentle massage stimulates the reflexes on the feet or hands to assist your body to return to its natural state of balance. It does this by increasing the circulation of blood helping the nutrients flow through the body more effectively, therefore boosting the immune system. The technique applies pressure to specific reflex points that correspond with organs and glands throughout the body. The relaxing nature of the treatment helps to combat stress by allowing the nervous system to calm, clearing neural pathways enabling the body to balance and stimulate one's own healing process.
​
​
We are all leading increasingly busy and stressful lives which takes it's toll on our physical and mental wellbeing. It is estimated that 70% of disease stems from prolonged stress.With ever increasing levels of stress in our lives, it is important we take more responsibility for our own health care needs.
The first appointment can last up to one and a half hours as I will discuss your medical history to gain an understanding of your general health and lifestyle. This helps me in the planning of your treatment which is tailored to suit your individual needs and establishes a reason for it. Subsequent consultations will be one hour.
​
You will be asked to remove your socks and shoes and made very comfortable for treatment which generally lasts 45 mins. All consultations are confidential.
