Frequently Asked Questions
Prices
You can see the prices listed on each treatment, on the ‘treatments’ page.
Can you visit me at home?
Yes absolutely! I do charge extra for my travel time at £7 for every 10 minutes from my home clinic (CO4 5). So for a 20 minute return journey this would be £14.00 in addition to the treatment price. This is to cover for some of my time that I am out of the clinic and my travel costs.
How do I book?
New and existing can book here… or by clicking on the little calendar floating on the bottom right of your screen…
Or, if you would prefer, you can contact me and I can book you in.
Can anyone have Reflexology?
Most people can yes, but there may be medical reasons why I may not be able to treat you until you have the go-ahead from a medical professional. These are usually for conditions that are still not fully settled or managed such as a newly diagnosed DVT, or if you are due to have an operation soon. If you aren’t sure, please do send me a message – most conditions I can work with.
I have ticklish feet, is foot Reflexology for me?
Reflexology is a gentle, massage of the feet and everyone I have asked has said it isn’t ticklish – even those with the most sensitive ticklish feet. However if it is really not for you, we can swap and do the routine on your hands or face instead. (But, in the past 4 years I have never needed to do this because people realise it isn’t ticklish)
I have a verruca or wart, can I have Reflexology?
Veruccas are very common, if you have one all I would ask is that we cover it with a plaster. You can do this before your treatment, or I can pop a plaster on for you. This is to stop me spreading the verucca infection across your feet. Did you know, that some reflexologists believe that veruccas can be a symptom of ‘deep rooted’ stress or trauma, dependent on where it is on the foot.
If you would prefer, we could also do Facial Reflexology.
Do you cut nails or remove hard skin?
No, because I’m not trained to do this. If you need some hard skin removed, toenails cut, or if something is worrying you; please see a Podiatrist. You can find the register here to find a Podiatrist local to you.
How much information do you need?
I do require a completed consultation form before your session. I will email this to you at the time of booking. When you arrive on the day this means I can spend more time on your feet or face, rather than the paperwork.
Can I book an Employee Wellbeing or Pamper Party?
Yes, I absolutely love doing these! If you would like to provide wellbeing treatments to your staff, or friends I would be happy to help! I charge from £60 per hour plus travel at £7 per 10 mins, for locations in or near Colchester. There is a minimum of 15 minutes per person, although 20-30 minutes per person is even better. I can also work with a few other therapists too if your event needs more than just me!
I also love providing workshops at talks, retreats and corporate events. If you would like any more information please email me.
Is your clinic accessible?
My clinic treatment room is upstairs. However, if you have difficulty mobilising I may be able to come to your home. I do charge extra for travelling to you. Please message me for further details, or to book in.
Why do you recommend Foot or Face Reflexology rather than hand reflexology?
Feet are usually bigger than your hands so because of this it is easier to effectively ‘work’ on each reflex. I also think it is more relaxing to have your feet worked on, after all the strain they take – they deserve a pamper!
It’s the same principle for your face too, the face is super relaxing to have a treatment on and the reflex areas are slightly bigger for me to work on.
Ultimately, it depends on what you are hoping to get out of reflexology. For example, if you have a tense jaw, facial reflexology may be what you would prefer.
I have a fungal nail, can I have foot Reflexology?
Again, fungal nails are very common. I would ask that it is covered with a plaster (I can do this if you would prefer), this is to stop the spread to other nails.
I hate my feet, I think I’ll be too embarrassed to show them, or for you to touch them.
Honestly, I have seen so many feet – all unique and different and I promise that none have ever ‘grossed me out’. I can promise you that your feet really aren’t as bad as you think! If you are worried please do contact me
