I’m Jill, a Clinical Reflexologist, Reiki Master Teacher and Transformational Coach with more than ten years of experience supporting women through stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions and deeper personal change.
Based in Bideford, North Devon, my work focuses on the connection between emotional patterns, the nervous system and what is showing up in the body.
Over many years of working with women, I began to see the same thing repeatedly. Symptoms were rarely isolated. Poor sleep, tension, anxiety, exhaustion, overthinking and feeling unable to switch off were often part of a much wider pattern.
This led me to develop the Synergy Map process, a structured, body-led approach that brings together clinical reflexology, Reiki, intuitive observation and focused guidance.
Rather than treating each symptom separately, I look at how your body has been coping, where stress may be held and what emotional or behavioural pattern may be keeping you stuck.
My role is not to simply provide temporary relief. It is to help you understand what your body may be communicating, identify the main pattern beneath what you are experiencing and guide you through a clearer, more focused pathway.
I work mainly with women in perimenopause and menopause who are used to carrying a great deal, caring for others and pushing through their own needs. This stage of life often brings long-standing patterns to the surface and can leave you feeling as though your body no longer responds in the way it once did.
Sessions are structured, responsive and guided. Depending on what is needed, they may include clinical reflexology, Reiki, sound healing integration.
My clinic in Northam, Bideford is a calm, private space where you do not need to explain everything perfectly or arrive with all the answers.
We begin by understanding the pattern.
From there, we create a clear direction forward.
Begin with an Initial Session and Synergy Pattern Assessment.



If you are considering working together, the first step is to book an Initial Session & Assesment.
Sessions take place at my clinic in Northam, near Bideford in North Devon, offering clinical reflexology and Reiki therapy for women experiencing stress, tension and burnout. Many clients travel from Barnstaple and across North Devon, including Bishops Tawton, Umberleigh, South Molton, Braunton, Croyde, Fremington, Instow, Appledore, Westward Ho!, Bude and Exmoor.
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.
