Therapist Profile

Joanne Marie

 Like most, living life to the full was one of my Mantra’s. It still is. But living life to the full needn’t mean running yourself into the ground, it is important to find a balance with time out to relax and recharge. Time to breathe.

Many of us would imagine that relaxing means sitting in front of the telly with a nice glass of wine. There are, however nearly always distractions. Sometimes, you just can’t seem to switch off for long, and if you do, it doesn’t seem to have a lasting effect. Looking for balance in my life I discovered reflexology; the treatments gave me total relaxation that continued well after the hour was over.  I qualified in reflexology as I believe this wonderfully calming therapy can provide you with the precious opportunity to relax.

With a nursing and social care background I qualified in adult nursing after many years of experience in care work. Eager to continue my learning I completed a degree in Health Studies at Worcester University in 2006.  Other training courses completed include basic counselling skills, health and safety and anatomy and physiology.

Having a nursing background, I am trained to look for evidence and was initially amazed at the amount of people who had tried a reflexology treatment and found that it really helped them. The results impressed me so much that I decided to gain a qualification to enable me to work with this wonderful treatment. As a reflexology practitioner I enjoy working with and seeing the benefits felt by all clients   I do have a special interest in reflexology for mums-to-be and new mums. I have attended maternity reflexology courses taught by specialist midwives.  I believe attending to your own needs during this demanding time can help enrich your life and happy fulfilled moms mean happy babies and children.

Please contact me for more information about my work and how reflexology can help you manage the stresses of modern life and find calming time to just breathe.
