Hi, I’m Jess

​

​

I stumbled into the world of reflexology begrudgingly actually, thinking “why on earth would I bother trying that” when a family member suggested I give it a go when I was very unwell a decade ago: I was unable to move out of bed or off the sofa because of a complex combination of problems including endometriosis, post traumatic stress disorder, gut problems and a resurgence of Epstein Barr Virus. After being told this was “all in my head”, I moped for a few days wondering what on earth I would do before deciding to give reflexology a go. I had nothing to lose so why not!

​

To my total astonishment, it really helped, and I experienced really pronounced changes and improvements over the course of a few months of treatment: I started back at the gym, started working again and started socialising again. Hurrah!

​

And so started my unrelenting interest in the human body, health and wellbeing. Our systems are so incredibly complex, and there is always a reason why you’re feeling out of kilter. I am hugely interested in evidence-backed approaches to improving health and wellbeing, and have recently studied the highly acclaimed IFM AFMCP: their Functional Medicine course.

​

Reflexology is very helpful in restoring balance and addressing both the root cause and symptoms you’re feeling: it isn't a foot rub or a nice treatment to have on a spa day. It's a powerful method of encouraging your body to heal itself, be it after sustaining an injury, after surgery, or when faced with pain, illness or disease. 

​

Some patients and peers have labelled me as “not an average reflexologist”, and I attribute this to the fact that I don’t light candles, play whale music (unless you’d like me to!), or talk to patients in hushed tones. I thoroughly explore your health and medical history and symptoms, and hone into what your body tells me through treatment too.
