Wellbeing Natural Therapies
Reflexology, Reiki & Intuitive Guidance in Northam, Bideford
Jill Rawle MAR, MA
Hi, I’m Jill, a holistic practitioner based in Northam, North Devon. I work with the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — to help you remember who you are beneath the layers of busyness, people pleasing, and survival.
Over the years, my work has evolved into three pathways:Empowered Healing, Reflexology, and Reiki. Each one meets you where you are.
Empowered Healing is for those who are ready to do the deeper work. It’s not about quick fixes or surface-level comfort. It’s about seeing yourself clearly, healing old patterns, and releasing the identities that no longer fit. This includes Deep Healing sessions, Inner Child Healing, and my Six-Week Empowered Healing Journey.
Reflexology offers a more grounded path back to yourself. I’ve developed an intuitive way of reading the feet — noticing where emotion or energy is held and guiding your body back toward balance. Reflexology supports your nervous system, releases tension, and helps you reconnect with a sense of calm and safety within yourself.
Reiki brings everything together through energy. It’s a gentle yet powerful therapy that restores flow, lightens emotional weight, and supports you on a spiritual level. For those drawn to learn, I also offer Reiki training across all levels, guiding you to use this healing energy for yourself and others.
I’ve been working with clients for over nine years, and I’m fully qualified, but my real qualification comes from lived experience. Like many of the people I work with, I’ve walked through my own healing — burnout, loss, motherhood, and rediscovering who I am beneath all the roles I used to play. That journey has shaped everything I offer.
My treatment room is a calm, grounded space where you can let go, speak freely, and reconnect to the parts of you that have been carrying too much. People often tell me it feels like exhaling after holding your breath for too long.
I don’t promise miracles. One session can shift a lot, but real transformation happens over time, when you choose yourself again and again. Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken — it’s about coming home to yourself, one layer at a time.

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.
