Healing from the inside out, for balance in body, mind and spirit
Reflexology and Reiki
COVID-19 INFORMATION
All restrictions have now been lifted, but I would like to reassure all clients that I still, as always, follow strict hygiene protocols.
Although it is no longer a legal requirement to self-isolate if you test positive for Covid, please do rearrange your appointment. This will continue to keep my more vulnerable clients safe and ensure that I can continue to carry out treatments.
If you have any symptoms of Covid or any other infectious illness, as above , please rearrange your appointment in order to keep everyone well (as will I do). Thank you!
I look forward to treating you! Lou
I am currently only able to offer treatments as mobile appointments

TREATMENTS
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a wonderful relaxing treatment. It is based on the principle that our feet mirror all the systems, structures and functions of our body. These are mapped out on the feet as reflexes and pressure is put on these points.
Although, as I am not a medical professional, I can't diagnose or cure medical issues, however there is a long list of things that clients say Reflexology has helped them with, including:
-
Stress and anxiety relief
-
Insomnia
-
Digestive Issues
-
Hormonal disruptions (eg, menopause symptoms)
-
Pain Relief
-
Boosts the immune system
-
Help with MS symptoms
These are just some of the things Reflexology has helped people with but the main aim is to bring the body back into balance and help it to function in the best way possible for you and to help it learn how to start healing itself.
You don't need to have any medical issues to get benefit from a regular Reflexology treatment, it is a great way to do something nice for yourself and to keep the body and mind working well. You may end up feeling better than ever!
You can have a treatment as often or a little as you like, from once a week , once a month or just every so often, I will try and accommodate whatever works best for you.
At your appointment we will have a consultation, which may take a bit longer the first time I see you. You will get comfortable on the bed or chair with just your shoes and socks off. I will do the treatment while you close your eyes and relax. During the treatment it is possible that you may feel a little discomfort or tenderness in some areas, this is normal and may just mean that area needs a bit more attention, if however it is too uncomfortable I can move on to a different area or work with a more gentle pressure. I complete the treatment with a nice foot massage.
I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists (AOR) meaning that you know you are getting a well trained, quality therapist when you book a treatment with me. To continue my membership with the AOR, I have to complete CPD, so I continue to do research, courses and connect with other Reflexologists to keep me up to date and always learning.

REIKI
Reiki, pronounced Ray-key is translated as Universal Energy and originated in Japan.
It is a form of energy work where I as the practitioner place my hands on or just over the body in various positions.
Some benefits of Reiki:
-
Stress relief
-
Relaxation of the mind and body
-
Increases the body's ability to heal
-
Some find it helps with pain relief.
-
Some find it helps with spiritual development although no religions or particular beliefs are associated with Reiki.
As with many complementary therapies Reiki aims to help the body balance itself to promote healing and all round well being.
I sometimes also use crystals during a Reiki treatment. Crystals work with the body's energy and vibration. It is thought that each crystal has it's own energy and vibration which I intuitively match to each individual finding the right crystals to work with in a treatment.
I can also use Auric Field Tuning Forks to enhance your treatment.
At your appointment we will have a short consultation. Then you lay on the bed fully clothed and I make sure you are comfortable. I begin each treatment with a short meditation to help you to switch off and relax fully and then place my hands on, or hold my hands over, various parts of the body.
It can be done with no touch at all so please let me know if you would prefer this.
DISTANCE REIKI
Reiki treatment can be delivered distantly, no matter how far away you are. It can be done at any time whether you are sleeping or working, however it may be nice if you can find a place to relax undisturbed! It is as powerful as an in person treatment
This treatment is great for those short on time, suffer with anxiety or who find it hard to travel.
It can be done via video call where we can see each other (or you can turn your camera off so you can just see me) or we can just connect through messages (whats app or Facebook messenger).
ACCESSIBILITY
I aim to make my treatments accessible to all where possible. Treatments can be done seated in a wheel chair or in an arm chair/sofa if that suits you better, some clients have their own reclining chair that they use. For reflexology I do need to be able to access your feet so would need a suitable stool to rest your feet on. Please contact me to discuss if you have any concerns or specific needs regarding this, I can usually find a way to treat.
There are a few cases where I may not be able to offer you a Reflexology treatment, in the case of certain medical conditions such as DVT (until the condition has improved) and occasionally I may advise you to get consent from your doctor (such as if you have had recent surgery or undergoing cancer treatment). If you are unsure please get in touch to discuss this further.
My Professional Association (AOR) has advised that we don't treat for 3 days after a Covid Vaccination. This is due to possible side effects that some people experience from the vaccine. Please bear this in mind when booking your appointment with me.

ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Louise Roberts and I'm a qualified Reflexologist, certified Crystal Healing Therapist and Usui Reiki Master. In the summer of 2017 I decided I wanted to do more to help people deal with the stresses of our daily life and so began to explore a natural healing path. I soon gained my Reiki level 1 certificate, then discovered the world of crystals. After experimenting with them myself, finding them very beneficial I decided to do more formal training and in April 2018 gained my Crystal Healing Therapy certification after studying with the experienced Julie Turner, allowing me to help others. Along with this I got my Reiki Level 2, again giving me the ability to provide this treatment professionally. Prior to my training I have been working on Mindfulness and Meditation for some years leading me to believe that we are all able to help ourselves deal with the pressures and stress that modern life can bring. It has helped me enormously in my work as a Teaching Assistant of children with special needs. I have been working in the education setting for seventeen years with nine of those in special needs and this work has shown me the importance of self-care and self-healing for everyone. I am proud to be able to help others discover ways to do this for themselves.
In my quest to find something to suit everyone, I decided to study Reflexology at the Jackie Hamilton School of Therapies and in June 2019, after much study, practice and case studies, I passed my final exam to become a fully qualified Reflexologist and I love providing this wonderful treatment!
I have most recently done a facial reflexology course, with Ziggie Bergman which I will be offering soon. I plan to continue to study and enhance the knowledge I have already gained to enable me to bring you the best care possible.
Taking care of our own well being seems more important than ever now, I hope to be able to help you with these therapies. I look forward to treating you soon!
