Treating a wide range of conditions for over 10 years my special interest is in women's health, fertility and pregnancy reflexology. My passion is to help couples with fertility issues and support women during their pregnancy - great time is taken to tailor individual treatment plans.

I firmly believe that all aspects of life must be considered to reach optimum health and wellbeing. So when treating clients, I take into account all lifestyle factors and then tailor each treatment accordingly, always placing an emphasis on relaxation.
I take a holistic approach, often giving ‘homework’ such as stimulation of hand reflexes, or ear reflex points consolidating work done during treatments.

By continually updating my skills and attending workshops or seminars, I feel able to offer my clients the latest support and information.

Treatment details:
At the initial consultation i will take a full medical history, also discussing lifestyle to ensure I provide a treatment plan most suited to the individual.

Testimonials:

When I called Susie to help my daughter with some sleeping problems little did I know that a year or so later I'd still be seeing her regularly. Susie has got the perfect combination of knowledge, passion for what she does, and a charming personality. I love her sense of humour and her calm friendly smile. I treasured my sessions with her so much during my pregnancy that despite much complaint, I am now the only beneficiary of her time in this family. Oh! She has lots of good tips for babies. "
Mercedes

"I first went to Susie for a relaxing treatment but soon realised how much more she had to offer. She very clearly explained all of the benefits of pregnancy reflexology and I soon started seeing her regularly. Not only was it wonderfully relaxing and provided me with much needed "me" time, but it also helped on a week by week basis with whatever preganacy ailments I may have be experiencing, including swollen ankles, aching joints and general fatigue. I would come out of every session feeling relaxed but re-energised. Towards the end of the pregnancy, she worked on preparing me for the birth. She had said that it could possibly help with a timely and shorter birth, and it certainly seemed to work! My baby son came 9 days early and he arrived just 4.5 hours after the first signs of labour. After that, I could not recommend her highly enough! I genuinely believe that Susie helped me in both the pregnancy and the birth and would recommend her without hesitation."
Lisa

“I first saw Susie after having experienced two miscarriages and attempting to get pregnant for the third time. She immediately put me at ease and took the time to find out about my personal circumstances in order to create a bespoke treatment tailored to my needs. I soon began to look forward to my fortnightly sessions with her - not only did it make me feel like I (or rather Susie) was doing something to put me in the best possible position to have a successful pregnancy, but I also found it wonderfully relaxing and soothing - a little bit of 'me' time during an otherwise busy week. Susie is incredibly skilled and worked absolute wonders for me. She is calm and wise. I fell pregnant within 4 months of seeing Susie and I then continued to see her throughout my pregnancy. With Susie's help I had a very easy (in fact, enjoyable) pregnancy with little morning sickness and few of the aches and pains one can normally expect, and my labour was fantastically smooth. I honestly believe that Susie played a huge part in all of this and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone and everyone (I frequently do). I now have a happy and healthy 6 week old baby boy.”
Kate

"As being quite keen on holistic therapies and massage, I had never tried reflexology before meeting Susie. I knew very little about the technique and was unsure whether such a practice would relieve my body and mind. I felt the effects after the first session, although Susie had warned me people react and feel differently about it. Now I tend to visit her on a monthly basis or whenever I can, and I have noticed that my respiratory as well as thyroid problems have eased considerably, and my skin health improved. A reflexology session with such a friendly person like Susie also allows me to relax, take time for myself, realising that my experience with reflexology has been beneficial on a spiritual point of view, too. "
Nicolas

"I have had reflexology treatment by Susie Ray for almost two years. I went initially to help with problems getting pregnant and to get my body into better harmony after miscarriages. It has definitely helped, as I now have a one-month old daughter! Susie was very thorough and organized with her treatment, always following up on any problem areas. She is very flexible and understanding. I have recommended Susie to two friends, who have now continued to be her regular clients too, and that I think proves how good she is. I would recommend her to everybody!"
