Susie Jeffries – Reflexologist and Healer

Reflexology is the ancient art of massaging the feet to help the whole body. The aim is to stimulate the body’s own healing processes to maintain and restore health. It is relaxing, calming and beneficial for many conditions and imbalances, for example:

• Stress
• Headaches
• Poor circulation
• Breathing problems
• Digestive problems
• High blood pressure
• PMT
• Menopause

I prefer to visit my clients in the comfort of their own home, as they can stay relaxed after the treatment and therefore allow the healing process to continue for a longer time.

Call me on 07956 442679 or 01732 360577 for more information and appointments.
