Wellbeing Natural Therapies
Reflexology, Reiki & Intuitive Guidance in Northam, Bideford
Jilly Rawle MAR, MA
Hi, I’m Jilly, a holistic therapist based in Northam, North Devon, offering treatments that support your whole self: mind, body, and spirit.
I help people slow down, reconnect, and feel like themselves again, using Reflexology, Reiki, and intuitive healing that goes deeper than just relaxation. I’m fully qualified, NHS listed, and have been working with clients for over nine years. But more than the certificates on my wall, this work comes from lived experience.
Like many of my clients, I’ve walked my own healing journey. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from yourself. I know how powerful it is when someone finally holds space for you, not to fix you but to help you soften, release what you’ve been carrying, and come back to your centre.
My treatment room is a calm, gentle place where you can say things you’ve never said out loud, feel what you need to feel, and leave a little lighter each time. Many people tell me it feels like a safe cocoon, a place they can return to whenever life feels heavy.
I won’t promise miracles or quick fixes. One session will make a difference. You’ll feel it in your body, your mind, and the way you move through your days. But real change happens when you choose yourself more than once. Healing is a commitment, just like going to the gym. It’s not about fixing you because you’re not broken. It’s about coming home to yourself, layer by layer.
Alongside the hands-on therapies I offer, I also work intuitively, guided by energy, emotion, and a strong spiritual connection. Many clients say they come back for what they call Jilly Magic, not magic in the sense of waving a wand but in the way you’ll feel seen, heard, and gently guided back to your own power.
So if you’re looking for a safe, supportive space to release what’s weighing you down, whether it’s stress, anxiety, hormonal shifts, emotional overwhelm, or simply the need to reconnect, I’m here when you’re ready.

Frequently asked questions
Everyone is different and the response to Reflexology can be immediate or sometimes take longer than one appointment, but often benefits can be seen after 4-5 sessions. Regular weekly treatments are best for the body properly beginning the self-healing process, and following an initial consultation I will suggest the number of Reflexology sessions I think we should undertake.
Reflexology sessions for individuals last 50 minutes and cost £60 per session. I also provide a limited number of appointments for those on low-income; contact me to enquire about availability.
Note that if you want to cancel an appointment I require 48 hours’ notice; otherwise you will still need to pay for any sessions missed. I accept payment in cash, by cheque or by bank transfer.
Reflexologists cannot claim to diagnose or cure, but during a treatment we get 'feedback' as to which parts of the body are working well and which are not. Sometimes Reflexology will highlight a specific area which is struggling or working hard to maintain your wellbeing; if a particular reflex point shows this kind of reaction I'll discuss it with you at the end of the session.
Reflexology is performed entirely on the feet, ankles or hands, so the most you’ll have to do is take off your socks and roll up your trousers! During the treatment the client lies on their back on a reclining chair, supported by pillows and covered with a soft blanket to keep them warm.
And don’t worry - reflexology doesn't tickle! Many clients come to me with ticklish feet or worried about their feet being touched, but find they can relax and enjoy the benefits of Reflexology.
You might find some areas feel sensitive to the touch, but Reflexology does not involve hard pressing in the way something like a sports massage might. As a therapist I will be aware of the status of your feet, noticing how they feel, the temperature and colour. All these things play a part in understanding which areas of your body - as reflected through your feet - require a bit more care and attention.
Not necessarily, but after an initial course of treatment many people choose to check in monthly for a top-up, to help maintain their general wellbeing, or as a scheduled 'de-stress'. Other clients will get back in touch if they start feeling aches and pains, arranging treatments as and when they need them.
