Nervous system led therapeutic CARE in Bideford, North Devon
Nervous System Led Therapeutic Care
When stress and emotional load have been carried for too long, the body often stops responding to surface level approaches.
My work begins with understanding how your nervous system is holding your life experiences. From there, I guide a structured process focused on regulation, integration, and lasting change rather than short term relief.
All clients begin with an Initial Consultation. This allows me to assess what is happening in your body and nervous system and to make a clear recommendation for ongoing support.

Who this Work is for
This work supports people whose nervous systems have been under sustained pressure and no longer settle naturally between stress and demand.
It is particularly supportive if you recognise yourself in any of the following:
- You feel constantly switched on, tense, or unable to fully relax, even when life looks calmer
- Your body holds symptoms that have been investigated or explained, but not truly resolved
- You feel emotionally exhausted from coping, managing, or pushing through
- You notice repeating patterns of stress, overwhelm, anxiety, or shutdown
- You sense that your body is communicating something through physical symptoms, but you are not sure how to listen to it safely
- You have tried talking, understanding, or doing more, yet nothing seems to fully land or shift
Over time, emotional patterns, physical symptoms, and stress responses can begin to loop. The body signals, the nervous system overrides, and those signals are gradually ignored or pushed through. This is not a lack of awareness or effort. It is a system that has not been in a calm enough state to properly register what is being communicated.
My role is to assess these patterns, both emotional and physical, and support the nervous system to slow enough for information to be received rather than overridden. From there, change becomes possible without forcing or fixing.
Understanding the Nervous System & Symptom Patterns
The nervous system plays a central role in how we experience stress, emotion, and physical symptoms. When it is under prolonged pressure, the body adapts in order to cope. These adaptations can show up as tension, pain, fatigue, anxiety, digestive issues, emotional overwhelm, or a general sense of disconnection.
Over time, emotional responses and physical symptoms can begin to reinforce one another. Signals from the body are repeatedly overridden in order to function, keep going, or manage daily demands. This does not happen consciously. It is the nervous system doing its best to maintain stability.
When the nervous system has not spent time in a calm, regulated state, these signals are easily missed or ignored. Symptoms are then treated in isolation, rather than understood as part of a wider pattern.
This work focuses on slowing the system enough for those signals to be recognised and responded to appropriately. When regulation improves, the body is able to shift out of survival patterns and begin responding with more flexibility and resilience.
What to Expect
Your first consultation & session is a structured, supportive space where your nervous system is given the time and conditions it needs to slow, settle, and communicate clearly.
You do not need to arrive knowing what is wrong or what you need. My role is to assess patterns across your body, emotions, and stress responses and guide the session accordingly.
During your session, you can expect:
- A calm, unrushed environment where you are not pushed or overwhelmed
- An initial conversation to understand what has been happening in your body and life
- Therapeutic work using tools such as Reflexology, Energy Work, and Sound Healing, chosen to support regulation, safety, and integration
- Space for physical sensations, emotions, or insights to arise naturally, without pressure to analyse or perform
Sessions are responsive rather than formula based. I work with what your nervous system presents on the day, allowing information to be received rather than overridden.
At the end of your session, I will talk you through what has been observed, including how your nervous system is responding and how this may be showing up in your body or life. Most clients benefit from a small number of follow-up sessions to support ongoing regulation and integration, and we will discuss this together so you can make an informed decision.
After your session, and in the days that follow, many people experience a deep sense of calm, clarity, and groundedness. It is common to notice a shift in perspective, as though mental or emotional fog has lifted. From this clearer state, many clients begin to make meaningful changes in their lives, not through force, but because things feel easier to see and respond to.
My Approach & Method
I am a highly skilled practitioner with over a decade of experience supporting clients to recognise the patterns behind their emotional and physical symptoms, and to create meaningful change over time.
My work is grounded in careful observation and assessment. I look at how emotional responses, physical symptoms, and stress patterns interact, and how these are being regulated or overridden by the nervous system. From this perspective, I am able to identify where the system is stuck and what kind of input is most appropriate.
I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches including reflexology, energy based work, sound healing, and intuitive assessment. These methods work directly with the body and nervous system, rather than through cognitive processing alone, allowing change to occur without force or excessive analysis.

Your
Healing Journey
Beginning this work is not about committing to everything at once.
It is about taking a first, intentional step.
The initial consultation and healing session allows us to slow things down, understand what your body and inner world are communicating, and create a clear foundation for the work ahead. From there, we move forward in a way that feels supportive, grounded, and right for you.
You do not need to have all the answers before you begin.
You simply need a sense that you are ready to explore what is beneath the surface and to engage in the process with openness and care.
If this approach resonates, you are welcome to begin here.

Frequently asked questions
Rather than offering a fixed number of treatments, I work through an initial consultation and assessment to understand how your body and nervous system are responding. Many people benefit from a short series of sessions to allow changes to integrate over time, rather than one off appointments.
Reflexology is used within longer therapeutic sessions rather than as a short standalone treatment. Session length allows time for assessment, body based work, and integration, supporting deeper and more meaningful change.
No. I do not diagnose medical conditions. Reflexology here is used to notice patterns, responses, and areas of holding within the body and nervous system. Any insights shared are supportive and complementary and do not replace medical care.
Each session is guided by assessment and observation rather than a set routine. Reflexology may be combined with other therapeutic approaches such as energy work, sound, or stillness, depending on what is most supportive in the moment.
Reflexology should not be painful, although some areas of the feet may feel more sensitive if they reflect tension or holding elsewhere in the body. Pressure is always adjusted and the work is carried out with care and responsiveness.
Reflexology is most effective when used as part of a structured therapeutic process rather than occasional sessions. Ongoing work allows the nervous system time to settle, respond, and integrate changes more fully.
