Helena is a qualified Reflexologist and practising Midwife with a warm, holistic approach to health and wellbeing. She specialises in maternity reflexology, supporting women through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period, drawing on her dual expertise as both a clinician and complementary therapist to bridge the gap between conventional care and holistic wellness.
Helena’s treatments are tailored to the individual, offering a calm, safe and non-judgemental space to switch off, release tension and restore balance. She has extensive experience supporting clients with anxiety, sleep difficulties, digestive issues, menstrual cycle concerns, headaches and stress.
Her approach is rooted in the belief that reflexology is deeply personal â a time to surrender, let go and reconnect with your body. In addition to reflexology, Helena also offers Indian head massage and hand reflexology.
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that works through the feet and hands using gentle massage and manipulation of reflex points. It is clinically proven to help decrease stress and anxiety, allowing you to relax, release tension and let go of anything the body and mind has been holding onto.
In reflexology, the feet and hands map the body’s internal organs and are linked to those organs by energy channels or meridians. When illness, stress or trauma occurs, these channels become blocked. Reflexology works to clear these blockages, allowing energy to flow freely and restoring the body’s natural balance.
Using gentle pressure and targeted manipulation, Helena identifies imbalances within the body’s systems and works to bring a sense of natural equilibrium, overall wellbeing and deep calm.
