Stress Bust and Rebalance with Reflexology
Tired of battling with PMS, headaches, sinusitis, skin problems, insomnia, stress, constipation or those everyday aches and pains?
If you’ve tried every suggestion, every pill and still find no lasting relief, it’s likely because the root cause hasn’t been addressed.
This is where reflexology can help. By working with the body’s natural systems, reflexology aims to restore balance, ease discomfort and support your overall wellbeing – without relying on quick fixes that only mask symptoms.
If you’re ready to move beyond frustration and finally take control of your health, you’re in the right place.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic, non-invasive complementary therapy that is based on the principle that there are specific “reflex points” on the feet, hands, face, and ears that correspond to different organs, glands and systems in the body.
By applying pressure to these points, a qualified reflexologist can help to relieve a wide range of issues.
This therapeutic process is believed to help clear energy blockages and improve circulation, allowing the body to naturally restore its own state of balance and wellbeing.
Reflexology works on a deeper level by stimulating the body’s intricate nerve pathways, promoting a profound sense of relaxation and encouraging the body’s natural healing abilities.
How Reflexology Can Help
Reflexology’s gentle yet powerful effects can offer relief from many common ailments. By targeting specific reflex points, the therapy aims to address the root cause of discomfort, not just the symptoms. It’s often sought after for its proven ability to:
- Relieve Stress and Tension: By inducing a deep state of relaxation, reflexology helps to calm the nervous system and reduce the physical and mental effects of stress.
- Improve Circulation: The pressure techniques can enhance blood and lymph flow throughout the body, helping to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove toxins more efficiently.
- Reduce Pain: It can be effective in managing chronic pain conditions, including headaches, migraines and back pain.
- Enhance Sleep Quality: Many clients find that regular sessions lead to improved sleep patterns and a more restful night.
- Support Digestive Health: Specific points related to the digestive system can be stimulated to help with issues like constipation and bloating.
Reflexology for Children
It can be incredibly distressing when your little one is uncomfortable. Reflexology is a wonderful, gentle and safe therapy that can be used on children of all ages, from newborns to teenager’s.
As a qualified practitioner, I have extensive experience helping to soothe common childhood discomforts.
For issues like colic, constipation or the snuffles, reflexology can be a powerful tool for relief. I can show you simple and gentle techniques that you can learn to perform on your child at home. This not only helps to alleviate their symptoms but also provides a nurturing and bonding experience for both of you. You’ll gain the skills to help your little one feel better and continue their journey to health and happiness.

Why Come and See Me?
With over 25 years of experience in reflexology, I have helped hundreds of people with many different conditions, including complex cases. Leaving clients relaxed, de-stressed, balanced and feeling better than when they walked in the door!
Who can receive reflexology?
Reflexology is safe and suitable for most people, from new-born to 100.
Being a holistic therapy, reflexology treats the whole body rather than specific symptoms.
It can show areas where there has been or is currently an energy disturbance.
I may also observe where discolouration, dryness, or swellings (oedema) are located and may discover crystalline deposits. These can feel like I’m digging my nail into you, I promise I’m not!
Reflexology is an ever-developing field, with a range of specialisms designed to improve certain conditions. I will use a combination of my reflexology specialisms (RLD, Hormonal Balance, Nerve Reflexology) to tailor your treatment to your needs.
When required we will dig deeper to see if diet and lifestyle will enhance the treatment outcomes.
Reflex Lymph Drainage (RLD)
If you find yourself suffering from fluid retention whether that be from post-surgery; secondary lymphoedema from Cancer treatments; Pregnancy or monthly premenstrual fluid retention then RLD is for you. RLD can help to reduce the fluid and swelling naturally.
Reflex Lymph drainage (RLD) works on the lymphatic reflexes in the feet. It stimulates the flow of lymph through the lymphatic system to reduce build-up and relieve swelling. While at the same time reducing pain, increasing mobility and improving well-being and body image perception.
As it is a very gentle treatment it is ideal for those suffering from Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)/Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), Rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory autoimmune disorders.
I combine RLD into almost all treatments. It’s not used during IVF rounds during the medicated phases so the medications aren’t cleared from the body faster than required.

What to expect at consultations
Before your first appointment you will be sent a full health questionnaire to complete. You return it electronically to ensure the treatment is safe for you to have.
The form asks about your general health and medical issues along with your reasons for seeking reflexology.
I will check these details and ask you to expand any answers on your first session to ensure I have a complete picture. I’ll also talk you through the process, and you can ask any questions you may have.
Reflexology is a gentle treatment that will feel relaxing and not tickly. Usually, you’ll lie on the treatment couch under blankets with your feet exposed.
It’s important you feel comfortable though, so if you’d rather sit, I can raise the back of the treatment couch for you.
How often should I attend and how many sessions do I need?
Your need for reflexology sessions depends on your personal goals and how your body responds to the treatment. While you might only need a few sessions to address a specific issue, many of our clients find that regular monthly appointments are key to maintaining their sense of well-being and balance.
Think of it as setting aside dedicated time for yourself each month, a practice that helps your body and mind stay in sync. In fact, I’ve worked with many long-term clients for years, not because I haven’t “fixed” them, but because they value this consistent commitment to their own health. We’re here to support you whether you need a quick reset or a long-term partnership in your wellness journey.
Treatments
Reflexology is suitable and safe for everyone, from new-born to 100, though an adult must accompany children under 16.
Your first appointment includes a consultation, so please allow extra time. It’s also a good idea to leave time after your treatment to come back to reality and hydrate before going back into the real world.

Testimonials
”"I was diagnosed with MS in 2018. I was looking for reflexology that could help me de -stress and improve my nerve functions, brain power and boost my energy levels. My body was a mess before I started treatment with moonbeam therapies. I was struggling to cope! Since starting my treatment there has been a massive change in stress levels and my body is able to cope a lot better. I can’t describe how much I look forward to my reflexology appointment. I book once a month and count the days. Karen is fantastic at what she does, she listens and cares about you and uses all of her vast knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend moonbeam the therapies, trust me, there’s no going back for me. Karen has changed my life!"

”"I’ve been coming to Karen for over 20 years mainly for reflexology but have experienced other therapies too. I see my monthly visit as proactive self-care to stop having to go see my GP with aches and pains and also to support my mental health. Reflexology also helped me during both my pregnancies and brought a lot of relief as I suffered from swelling. Alternative therapies are so underrating. In all the time I’ve come to Karen she has continually been learning and growing in her field. It’s a pleasure and a necessity I now can’t do without. Can’t really recommend Karen highly enough"
