Clinical Reflexology, Reiki and Therapeutic Assessment in Bideford, North Devon
Support Designed to Create Lasting Change
Helping your body feel safe again
When stress and emotional load are carried for long periods of time, the nervous system adapts in order to cope. These adaptations often show up as physical symptoms, emotional patterns, or behaviours that keep us stuck, even when we consciously want change.
Based in Bideford, North Devon, I offer consultation-led support using clinical reflexology and Reiki-informed therapeutic work to help people experiencing chronic stress, persistent tension, burnout, and emotionally held patterns.
With over ten years of experience working directly with the body, my work focuses on identifying where these patterns are being held and how they are expressed physically and emotionally. When the nervous system remains in a state of protection or alert, this can present as:
• Ongoing tension, pain, or discomfort in the body
• Fatigue or feeling constantly depleted
• Anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling unable to switch off
• Poor sleep or difficulty fully resting
• Repeating stress patterns or coping behaviours that no longer help
Using clinical reflexology, Reiki, and body-based assessment, I work with these responses through the nervous system rather than through talking alone, supporting the body to settle and release what it no longer needs to hold.
As regulation returns, many people notice changes such as:
• Feeling calmer and less reactive in everyday life
• Sleeping more deeply and finding it easier to unwind
• Reduced physical tension and greater comfort in the body
• Feeling more emotionally steady and less overwhelmed
• Clearer thinking and improved confidence in day-to-day decisions
• A sense of ease returning, rather than constant bracing or pressure
All clients begin with an Initial Consultation. This allows me to assess how your system is responding, where patterns are sitting in the body, and to recommend the most appropriate next stage of support.

What to Expect
Your first session is a structured Initial Consultation designed to understand how stress is affecting your body and nervous system. This is not a routine treatment, but an in-depth assessment to identify patterns contributing to symptoms such as chronic tension, fatigue, anxiety, or burnout.
You do not need to arrive knowing what is wrong. My role is to observe how your system is responding physically and emotionally, and to work with those signals directly.
I am a Clinical Reflexologist and Reiki Practitioner & Master Teacher based in Bideford, North Devon, with over ten years of experience supporting people through body-based therapeutic work. Clinical reflexology allows me to assess how different systems are functioning and where stress is being held, while Reiki and other gentle therapeutic approaches support the nervous system to settle and begin releasing protective patterns.
During your session you can expect:
• A calm, unrushed environment designed to help the body regulate
• A guided conversation exploring stress, symptoms, and health history
• Hands-on work using clinical reflexology, Reiki, and sound where appropriate
• An approach that responds to your system rather than following a fixed routine
Sessions are tailored to what your body presents on the day, allowing change to occur gradually and safely rather than through pressure or analysis.
At the end of the consultation, we discuss what has been observed and whether further sessions would be helpful to support ongoing regulation and recovery.
Many people report feeling calmer, clearer, and more grounded afterwards, often noticing improvements in sleep, tension, and their ability to cope with daily demands.
Who this Work Helps
This work supports people whose bodies have been carrying stress for a long time and no longer switch off easily between periods of demand and rest.
It may be helpful if you are experiencing:
• Ongoing stress or anxiety that does not fully settle
• Chronic tension, pain, or fatigue linked to pressure or burnout
• Feeling constantly “on alert” even when life appears manageable
• Symptoms that have been medically explored but still persist
• Emotional exhaustion from coping, pushing through, or over-managing
• Repeating cycles of overwhelm, shutdown, or difficulty recovering
• A sense that your body is holding stress, even when you understand things mentally
Over time, these patterns can become embedded in the nervous system. The body continues responding as if pressure is present, even when circumstances change.
Through structured assessment and body-based therapeutic work, I help identify how these responses are being held and support the system to gradually return to a more settled, regulated state.

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.
