Dear Andrea,

I first went to see Andrea last summer. After suffering from mild post natal depression and on some days struggling to know how to cope with my 18 month old son, my health visitor recommended reflexology. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to my sessions. First and foremost it is an hour of “me” time every week or two, I find it so relaxing and at the same time stimulating. After a treatment I not onlu feel fully rested but I feel alive and revitalised and ready to cope with anything. As a first time mum I find it difficult always knowing how best to deal with my son’s “bad” days, (which in turn become mine) but as a result of using reflexology I find I have more patience and certainly have a calmer presence about me.

I have slao suffered 3 miscarriages in the last couple of years and was hoping that somehow Andrea could help me with that too. I currently find myself commencing my 5th pregnancy and at this early stage after 2 scans, all is well. I believe that Andrea, not only has made me feel emotionally and spiritually stronger, but has actually strengthened my whole being and enabled my body and mind cope with all the trials and hurdles of life.

Kind Regards

Having been a regular client of Andrea’s throughout both of my pregnancies, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Whilst five months pregnant with my son, my mother passed away, and physically and emotionally I started to struggle. A friend mentioned Andrea and I started to see her once a week. These sessions not only helped eliminate my insomnia, but left me relaxed and refreshed, enabling me to escape to a calmer place for a t least an hour each week – amazing!
The back pain, heartburn and constipation I’d already started to suffer with also vanished.

I then saw Andrea in 2004 when life began to get stressful again. My husband and I had been trying for another baby for over a year and I fell pregnant within a month of seeing Andrea! Our daughter was born in January 2005 and I again saw Andrea once a week until the day before she arrived.

Andrea has helped my body to cope (and survive!) two very hefty pregnancies in two years. It was also a pleasure to spend some time each week with such a caring and professional lady.

I might be back a third time!

Dear Andrea,

As you know I will be moving to Winchester on 31 May 2005. I wanted to write and thank you for the many years of reflexology that you have provided me with and let you know how much I will miss the sessions. Although I have every intention of continuing with reflexology treatment you will be a very hard act to follow.

It is very hard to describe the effect that reflexology has had on me. I was in a very troubled state when I first met you and the one hour weekly/fortnightly sessions have given me a wonderful ‘rebalancing’ of my body and soul the effects of which have lasted well after each session. It has been a wonderful way of helping me to cope with stress and all its side effects and has helped enormously in first of all putting my health in order and then maintaining it. It is something that I have appreciated a lot and will always be indebted to you for.

I hope that we will keep in touch.
Yours truly

I have Crohns disease and have been coming to Andrea for regular reflexology for nearly three years.

Crohns can cause a mixture of symptoms like stomach pains, bad digestion, extreme fatigue and joint pains.

I have found reflexology to be a soothing way to help my body work more harmoniously. Last year I had a particularly bad flare up of Crohns. The doctors wanted me to have a major operation but I stepped up the number of times that I had reflexology and I believe that helped me to recover better so at that time the operation was avoided.

I always have more energy than usual the day after my treatment and find that during the treatment itself I’d be so relaxed that I’d experience relief from the symptoms.

Often my doctors have been surprised at how quickly I’ve recovered from particularly bad bout of Crohns which appears to be due mostly to Andrea’s reflexology.

I first started coming to Andrea for reflexology in summer 2002. I had been in hospital with heart-related chest pains and my energy levels were really low.

My movement was very slow and restricted and I was reduced to spending most of my days wiped out on the sofa. It was a very frustrating and worrying time.

Regular reflexology helped to gradually restore my energy and health in a pleasant and enjoyable way.

Because of regular reflexology with Andrea, my recovery was a lot quicker. I was able to go back to full-time work sooner than expected and have not had any re-occurrence of the pains or symptoms.

Directly after reflexology I always feel well rested and relaxed and the next day I’m full of energy.

I still go roughly once per month, as a gift to myself and for my continued good health. Reflexology has really helped to build me back to a good level of health and well being. I believe it helps me maintin the best health that I’ve had in years!
