Welcome to Orchard View.
Hello, my name is Jo and my mission is to create a peaceful, serene environment dedicated to your relaxation and healing. I am a certified City & Guilds Level 3 Reflexologist also trained in holistic facials including facial reflexology and pedicures for reflexologist. I am a proud member of the Association of Reflexologists. Treatments are offered from a tranquil, private room in my garden, with mobile services available upon request.

With 25 years of experience as a children's nurse in London, I’ve seen first hand the profound positive impact that holistic treatments can have on our overall health and well-being. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about how holistic therapies can benefit you or to schedule an appointment.

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy that promotes deep relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being. By focusing on pressure points on the feet, I aim to stimulate corresponding areas of the body, supporting health and building resilience.
At its core, reflexology offers a period of relaxation with one-on-one attention in a nurturing environment. It can be safely used alongside standard healthcare to enhance well-being and support the body’s natural healing processes.
I offer individualised treatments aimed at the clients needs.

Frequently Asked Reflexology Questions
At your first appointment, I will ask some questions about your medical history and general health. You will then relax on my reflexology couch while I carry out a treatment on your feet. I use all natural oils or waxes to aid the movement of my hands; I use gentle pressure to work on the reflex points in your feet. You will only need to remove your socks and shoes for the treatment.
After a reflexology treatment, clients should feel relaxed, sleep well, and have an improved sense of well-being. Occasionally people can experience a ‘healing reaction’ as the body responds to the treatment; this can include tiredness, a headache, or going to the toilet more often. It is also possible that some symptoms may get slightly worse for a short while, but all these normal reactions should pass in 24-48 hours and are seen as part of the healing process. I recommend that you drink plenty of water, avoid stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol, and try to rest after a treatment to help your body flush out waste products and get the best from the treatment.
No, reflexology is not a medical treatment and does not claim to diagnose or cure. Reflexology should not be used as an alternative to seeing your Doctor or taking prescribed medication or medical advice.
The treatment should be relaxing, not uncomfortable, although the client may feel momentary tenderness or sensitivity on a specific point, which is an indication to the reflexologist that the point is ‘out of balance’ and needs a little extra attention to release the imbalance. Reflexology aims to produce a state of deep relaxation, helping to release tension, improve sleep, and increase your overall sense of well-being.
Please contact me if you have any other questions and I will be happy to reply and discuss.
