Reflexology is a holistic therapy that treats the whole body by working on pressure points on the feet. While modern reflexology was developed in the 20th century and first introduced to the UK in the 1960s, evidence suggests that this ancient therapy dates back to civilizations in China and Egypt.
There are various theories about how reflexology might work. I believe there is a flow of energy that connects different zones of the body and its organs. These zones correspond to specific areas on your foot and hand. By applying different pressure techniques to these areas, the energy in those zones and body parts is rebalanced, encouraging your body’s own healing mechanisms to restore health and wellbeing. If you're in Crewkerne, consider exploring reflexology as a natural way to enhance your overall wellness.

My name is Neil, and I hold a Level 3 Practitioner Diploma in Reflexology from the Bayly School of Reflexology. This diploma involved studying anatomy, physiology, and pathology, as well as the theory of reflexology and completing case studies. I fell in love with reflexology during my first treatment and knew immediately that I wanted to become a reflexologist. Based in Crewkerne, I enjoy providing holistic therapy through reflexology treatments, using a mixture of techniques to tailor each session to meet my client's specific needs.

I am a member of the British Reflexology Association, where I practice holistic therapy, including reflexology, in Crewkerne.

Hedgerows are places of great healing and therapy, much like the holistic therapy offered in Crewkerne.

Hedgerows are places of great healing and therapy, much like the holistic therapy offered in Crewkerne. They provide support and food to nourish animals while gifting us with powerful plant medicine—if we know how to find and use it! It is easy to forget how important hedgerows are to our landscape and everything that lives within it. The same could be said for our feet, which support us physically every day and offer a pathway to wonderful reflexology that nourishes our health.

A session lasts for about an hour, and takes place at my home in Crewkerne. Patients lie on a special recliner called a Lafuma chair, and I use cushions, pillows and blankets to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible. Patients will need to remove their shoes and socks, and all parts of the feet are worked on during a session, up to around the ankles.
During a session, I like to play music to help patients relax. Sometimes, patients like to talk during a session, and sometimes others fall asleep. However a patient reacts, a reflexology session should be very relaxing!
A session involves working all of the zones of the feet in order to treat the whole body, starting on the right foot and moving onto the left. It uses thumb and finger pressure to treat the different zones of the body, as they are reflected on the foot. After the initial routine, I will spend time focusing on specific areas that are relevant to the patient.
Reflexology is a non-invasive, gentle and holistic therapy. It works to promote general better health and wellbeing by bringing balance to the whole body. People have reflexology for a wide range of reasons, and may find that it can promote relaxation, improve mood, reduce tension, aid sleep or give an improved sense of well-being. Reflexology is offered by some NHS services, and can be an excellent complement to conventional medical treatment.
Reflexology is suitable for everyone, of all ages. However, there are very few occasions when treatment sessions may not be appropriate; please get in touch if you would like to discuss the treatment before making a booking.
Sessions last for about an hour.
During your first treatment, I will take a short medical history, and might also take some notes to help individualise your session. I will then work on both feet, using gentle pressure and massage techniques with my thumbs and fingers. I will work on all of the areas of each foot, and therefore treat the whole body.
During the session, you recline on a chair and, to help make you as comfortable as possible, I might use cushions, pillows and blankets to keep you warm and comfortable.
A reflexology session should be very relaxing, and will not tickle or hurt. Sometimes, you might feel reactions such as feeling tired, cold or hot, or tingling sensations. You might yawn or cough, or hear your stomach gurgle. Some areas of the foot might also feel tender or gritty, with a crunching sensation. These are all very natural reactions, and a sign that the energy in your body is rebalancing. It is also common for people to fall asleep during sessions!
Many people feel benefit after one reflexology session. However, depending on the conditions you might have, a course of weekly sessions is often advised. Typically, this is around six to eight sessions, one week apart. After that, many people decide to continue to ‘top up’ with regular treatments, around once a month.
Treatments take place at my home in Crewkerne. Appointments are typically available evenings and weekends. Some weekday appointments may also be available.
A treatment session costs £40.
