ABOUT SUZANNE
I am a Reiki Master and Teacher and started on my Reiki journey in 2006 studying under two Reiki Masters in Scotland and the West Country. In 2008 I decided to further my therapy practice and trained in Reflexology at the Bristol School of Holistic Therapies, qualifying with distinction. Before starting my career as a therapist I worked as a business trainer and personal development coach and this background ensures that my Reiki Training and all my treatments are professional and tailored to your needs.
As a member of the International Federation of Reflexologists and the Lynne Booth VRT network I adhere to their code of ethics and standards. I am committed to continuing professional development and have recently undertaken additional training in reflexology for sub-fertility and hormone imbalances. I am also studying for a Diploma in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Training for Reiki
Reiki practitioners receive attunements to the energy and are taught how to give treatments at these attunements. I am qualified as a Reiki Master and Teacher and provide individual and small group attunements and training . For details visit my website at www.sshealthandwellbeing.co.uk Training at Reiki level one enables an individual to provide a treatment for themselves and friends and family at any time and provides a cost effective way of maintaining physical and emotional wellbeing. Reiki level 2 and Reiki Master are professional qualifications enabling you to practice as a Reiki therapist.
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a gentle and effective therapy in which the hands are used to apply subtle pressure to the reflex points on the feet. It is ancient science that states that all the glands, organs and parts of the body have a corresponding reflex point in the feet (and hands). If the body is in a state of tension, due to ill health, disease or stress, this imbalance is registered in the feet. A Reflexologist is trained to detect tiny deposits and tensions in the feet that block the nerve and blood supplies to the body. By exerting pressure, using fingers and thumbs, the circulation is improved and energy and balance is restored to the body's cells.
.
VERTICAL REFLEX THERAPY
VRT is a new form of reflexology that is applied to the weight-bearing feet for a few minutes before and or after the conventional treatment. VRT can also be used as a complete treatment in its own right, lasting 20 minutes, with the client in a reclining position for half of the treatment. It is a very effective short treatment because the weight bearing VRT at the beginning and the end accelerates the energy to the vulnerable parts of the body and covers all the bodies systems.
Reflexology/VRT is a respected complimentary therapy that is used alongside conventional medicine in some hospitals and clinics. It has a wide application for specific illness, as a preventative measure against disease and stress, as a controlling factor in the care of the terminally ill and as a deeply relaxing treatment.
HOW CAN REFLEXOLOGY AND VRT HELP YOU?
Reflexology and VRT can be effective for a wide range of issues, including.
> low ferility
> pain and mobility, including arthritis and injury
> menstrual and prostate problems
> stress
> insomnia
> digestive disorders
The treatment is relaxing, balancing and energising
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN I GO FOR MY TREATMENT?
I treat every client as an individual and tailor every treatment to your needs. At the first session I will briefly take your medical history and discuss what you are looking for from the treatment so that we can work out the best therapy for you.
You will lie in a comfortable position while I work on your feet. You may relax and talk or gently doze during a treatment, which will end with a short gentle massage and a special gentle rocking technique of the hands or feet.
In the early treatments you may feel momentary discomfort as problem areas are stimulated. Reflexology is a safe and non-invasive therapy as no instruments are used and only the feet (and occasionally hands) are touched. It is suitable for everyone from young babies to the very elderly and infirm.
Several weekly treatments are usually needed before the body's mechanism is stimulated enough to bring about a definitive change in a condition. However, many people notice major changes almost immediately. Once health is regained, monthly visits are recommended as a preventative measure to balance and harmonise the body.
If we decide to include VRT into the treatment I will also work on your weight-bearing hands or feet for a few minutes at the beginning and the end to accelerate the healing processes.
I can also provide a complete 20 minute VRT treatment where you will lie down for 10 to 12 minutes and I will work on the weight bearing feet for the remaining time. This is very effective for pain and mobility problems and sub-fertility and can be a cost effective therapy to target specific conditions.
At the end of the treatment we will have time to discuss some self-help techniques for you to use at home, for example hand reflexology.
REIKI
Reiki is a Japanese word which is usually translated as “Universal Life Force Energy” It is a hands on holistic healing technique which works on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels to promote balancing and harmonising so that the body can heal itself.
What Happens During a Treatment?,
During a treatment I will place my hands lightly on or just above various parts of the body to allow the Reiki energy to flow where it is needed. It is non-invasive and does not use any pressure, manipulation or massage techniques. You remain fully clothed throughout the treatment although I do ask that you remove your shoes . Reiki is usually a relaxing experience and many people experience very pleasant warm sensations.
How Can Reiki Help?
Reiki can be used for a wide variety of ailments and emotional states. It is most commonly used for
>stress
>emotional imbalance
>pain and symptom relief
>guidance in making decisions.
