Reflexology

Reflexology works on the reflexes found in the feet, as well as the hands or ears as necessary, to bring the whole body into a state of balance. The pressure used is adjusted to the needs and comfort of the client, and most clients find the treatment extremely relaxing - it does not have to be painful to get results! I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists and have also qualified in Precision Reflexology, which links into the client's own energies and can be especially beneficial for hormonal and musculo-skeletal problems. Some common conditions which may be relieved by reflexology include migraines and headaches, insomnia, digestive disorders, neck, shoulder and back pain, and stress-related conditions.

'I started seeing Alison after a traffic accident left me with a very stiff neck and shoulders, and pain down my arm. After just a few treatments my neck was not half as stiff as before, my shoulders were great, and the pain down my arm had completely gone. I see Alison every two weeks, even if I have no aches and pains, as the treatments are so relaxing - it is a wonderful way to take some time out for yourself, plus Alison herself is a lovely lady, and makes you feel relaxed and comfortable immediately'.
~Kim Finch

'Since having regular reflexology with Alison, I have noticed a distinct and very welcome reduction in the frequency of my migraines'.

Jin Shin Jyutsu

Jin Shin Jyutsu is a healing treatment originating from Japan, which aims to balance the energy channels of the body. Hands are placed on safety energy locks on the fully clothed client, who will usually find the treatment extremely relaxing. Some conditions which I have treated successfully with Jin Shin Jyutsu include neck and back problems, sciatica, eczema, stress and emotional issues. Every treatment will also include some simple self-help techniques that the client can easily carry out at home, and self-help workshops can also be arranged for those who would like to learn more about this simple art.

Dru Yoga

Dru Yoga is a soft and flowing form of yoga, designed to release tension in the body and the mind. Classes include activations, unique Energy Block Release sequences, postures and flowing sequences, as well as breathing practices and relaxation. Dynamic flowing movements lead to inner stillness and peace. These classes are suitable for beginners as well as those who have practised yoga previously. A small group class is available in Wye on Wednesday evenings, from 8.15pm to 9.45pm, and individual tuition is also available. Further classes will become available later this year, so if you are looking for a daytime yoga class, please check the website regularly. Please contact me for further information, or to book a place.
