About me
My name is Lucy and I am a fully qualified reflexologist in Taunton, Somerset.
I discovered the life changing benefits of reflexology over 10 years ago whilst receiving treatment. I found it invaluable and was so impressed by the results that I decided to start training in 2005 to become a fully qualified therapist myself.
Since then, I have strived to constantly develop my skills in order to give you the most effective, positive and beneficial treatment I can. I feel immensely passionate about what I do, and about passing on the positive impact that reflexology can give. In fact I am as passionate now as I was then, just with over ten more years worth of experience!
I run a successful practice in Taunton, where I enjoy treating a very broad spectrum of clients, from young to old and for many different reasons. Most people come to me with specific problems. However many come to me for general well-being to enhance their day to day lives. I have found over the years that an increasing number of people come to me to help alleviate the common problems associated with stress. Many of us lead busy and stressful lifestyles which can impact upon our health and cause emotional imbalances, such as fear and anxiety. It gives me great pleasure to be able to improve the quality of peoples lives.
I am fully insured and having been trained to the highest standard have been awarded full membership with The Association of Reflexologists (AOR). I am also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) which is supported by the Department of Health and NHS Choices, so you can be assured I am a well trained and competent practitioner.
I also work in a voluntary capacity as a Reflexologist at St. Margaret's Hospice in Taunton. It is a great pleasure and privilege to be able to give some pain relief, comfort and therapy of touch to people who are fighting their battle with cancer or facing a life-limiting illness.
