Client Comments
"Whenever I go for a treatment I feel so calm and relaxed afterwards....."
"Linda is wonderful. I did initially see her for some help in conceiving as my husband and I were struggling. Hey presto I did fall pregnant! Linda's care, empathy and attention to detail are second to none.
Her reflexology skills are fantastic. Whenever I go for a treatment I feel so calm and relaxed afterwards I never want her to stop. I now see Linda from time to time simply for general well being and just for some me time. My mother, husband and a good friend have also become her clients and have been very satisfied with her work." SR
Combined Reflexology and Hypnotherapy
"I have been visiting Linda for fertility reflexology and hypnotherapy for a while. She has helped me by being able to talk through my fertility issues. Having someone to listen to my concerns and worries is very healing, as most of the doctors you see for fertility are only interested in any medical reasons for not being able to conceive. Also having to keep it secret from family and friends can be a big burden. Linda, however, helps you to discuss the emotional side of things and how it can affect your chances of conceiving. I have actually learned more about the female body and fertility through Linda than I ever have through all of the doctors I have seen. The reflexology part of the treatment is very relaxing and she is able to tell a lot of things about me through how my feet are that day - whether I am ovulating / due on my period etc and she is always right. The hypnotherapy part of my session has also really helped me to see things clearly, beginning to banish negative thoughts and embrace positive thinking. I leave my sessions feeling calm, happy and positive for the future." Laura Barnard
"I looked forward to every session ........"
"Dear Linda - I know I sent you a text but I really needed to say thank you once again. Having your support when being pregnant was so useful to me. I looked forward to every session and always felt like your only customer that day even though I know you see many more. You really have a way with people. Please have this small gift from Thomas and I. Also please feel free to use the picture I emailed you for your website." MK
"After just one visit to Linda the symptoms eased considerably ........."
"My first visit to Linda was initiated by the fact that I had come off the contraceptive pill, and in reaction to this my body seemed to be having morning sickness-like symptoms, even though I was definitely not pregnant. My step-mother is a reflexologist, (she does not live locally) and she suggested this may be able to help me with any hormone imbalance. After just one visit to Linda the symptoms eased considerably, having suffered for a month.
Having such a positive response on my first visit, with Linda's knowledge base, and thoughtful manner I promised myself that i would go and see her when I was pregnant. I visited roughly every 4-6 weeks during my pregnancy and found (especially toward the end) that it was much more restful than a nights sleep, and incredibly relaxing. I was very fortunate and had a healthy pregnancy, so the ,main benefit to me was as pure rest and relaxation.
I would definitely recommend Linda if you were considering reflexology, especially if you are pregnant, and should I be lucky enough to have another child I shall certainly be ringing her again!" KJ
"I suffered with sciatica during my pregnancy and the reflexology kept me pain free........."
The treatments I had received from Linda during my pregnancy were very amazing. I suffered with sciatica during my pregnancy and the reflexology kept me pain free without the need for painkillers. I also felt the treatments and priming for labour that Linda did helped as I had a very calm and beautiful normal delivery.
I didn't have any issues with my pregnancy or delivery which I feel were down to the treatments. I would strongly recommend treatments to any pregnant mother.RK
Combined Reflexology and Hypnotherapy
"I first met Linda in April 2010 when I started reflexology and hypnotherapy treatments following a miscarriage. I went to see Linda on the recommendation that she specialised in pre-conceptual care and fertility issues. I was extremely happy with the treatment I received from Linda, she is very caring and supportive with the advice and treatment that she gives. I always felt relaxed and positive after each treatment and kept looking forward to my next session!
I am please to say that after approx 5 sessions with Linda I fell pregnant and am now in my third trimester feeling happy and healthy and looking forward to meeting our first child. I would without a doubt recommend Linda for reflexology and/or hypnotherapy treatment particularly if you are experiencing fertility issues. Good Luck!" Anonymous, Hertfordshire
"..........an unexpected benefit was reduction of stress...."
"My first pregnancy was my first experience of reflexology, as I had read about the possible benefits of this treatment on positive birth outcomes.
I was a little anxious about my first pregnancy and planned a natural birth. Linda has a complete focus on her clients and uses her skills to check on issues, an unexpected benefit was reduction of stress, following issues at work!
I am happy to say that we achieved exactly the outcome I wanted, and I went on to have a drug-free, natural waterbirth. My second stage was 58 minutes, following a mere 4 hours in the first stage! I feel the course of reflexogy treatment contributed to this outcome, and it enabled me to access a relaxed and positive state in labour, as well as relaxation in the last trimester of pregnancy."

"Linda - I wanted to say thank you again for everything. I feel privileged to have met you and for you to have passed on some of your magic on to me. I am truly grateful. I hope to see and speak to you soon with some exciting news." Katherine
Combined Reflexology and Hypnotherapy
"I returned to Linda after my first pregnancy for both post-natal and birth preparation reflexology and hypnosis.
Linda was sensitive and intuitive in dealing with the post-natal trauma and other life issues that had occured in the intervening period, and used hypnotherapy integrated with reflexology to work with me on releasing fears arising from this to allow me to have a positive birth experience, the second time around.
My second daughter was delivered safely, and naturally, and I am delighted to say that I feel great after the birth, which was an empowering experience and enabled me to resolve the residual trauma issues from my first experience. Both my daughters are very relaxed and even-tempered, and I feel the relaxation techniques Linda used to lower stress and anxiety in the final trimesters of each pregnancy were significant in contributing to this" Anon
".......not even have back pain & no problem with sleeping at all...."
"I came to Linda being 28 weeks pregnant. I heard on my antenatal classes that reflexology could be very beneficial and I decided to try. I was very surprised with the results. I was so chilled out and I couldn't concentrate my mind on anything during the session. I've never experienced that kind of deep relaxation before. I am keeping my appointments almost every week and I have to admit that I feel great ( not even have a back pain & no problem with the sleeping at all). Linda gave me a lot of useful tips which makes me feel more comfortable and relaxed about my pregnancy and labour. Thank you very much Linda. I am looking forward to our next session." SS
".......gave me some tips to try and turn baby naturally which thankfully worked....."
"I went to Linda during the last trimester of my second pregnancy. Originally I went to help me relax and sleep, but also to ease the pain of my SPD and Sciatica. I found the sessions really helped me to relax and always slept well afterwards. I then also saw Linda when my baby turned breech at 37 weeks, she helped me to relax and gave me some tips to try and turn baby naturally which thankfully worked and baby turned head down at 38 weeks and stayed there." A.A.
"I truly beelieve Linda's treatment helped me to conceive ...... "
I visited Linda for a few months at the end of 2010, after having two miscarriages that year. My doctor recommended holistic therapies and I felt reflexology was less intrusive than acupuncture in my sensitive state.
I wasn’t recommended to Linda but could see by her website she was a specialist in fertility and after speaking to her felt very reassured and confident to go for a visit. Linda was so caring and understanding whilst taking time to explain her techniques and differences in treatment.
I was feeling exhausted and very stressed, I desperately needed help with my whole wellbeing. I started off with reflexology, which was very relaxing and automatically got my cycle and sleep pattern back to where it should be. A few weeks later I combined reflexology with hypnofertility. I found this combined treatment uplifting whilst leaving me calm and relaxed and had a definite effect on my outlook for potential conception.
We timed my next visit (combined reflexology with hypnofertility) around my ovulation dates to maximize ovulation, two weeks later I had to cancel my next appointment as I’d just found out I was pregnant! I’m now 16 weeks and the furthest I’ve been in two years. I’m 41 so, far from my peak of fertility. I truly believe Linda’s treatment helped me to conceive and would recommend her to all.
I’m planning to go back shortly for pregnancy reflexology! M.W.
"......when I suffered from sciatica I found that reflexology got rid of it straight away."
"I was planning on having 9-10 sessions as suggested on reflexology sites, ended up having more like 16 as I enjoyed them so much. I had a great pregnancy, and when I suffered from sciatica I found that reflexology got rid of it straight away. After a day at work it was a lovely relaxing way to unwind, leaving me feeling fresh and revived." G.S.
"Linda was recommended to me by one of her previous clients ......"
"I was about to start IVF treatment and I was looking for natural things I could do to make the treatment as effective as possible. I had been feeling very stressed for quite a long time ever since I was told that the only way that I would ever be able to have a baby was by IVF.
Linda was recommended to me by one of her previous clients who had also been through IVF and now has a lovely daughter. I started the treatment with Linda without any opinions, good or bad on Reflexology, when you are in such a vulnerable situation you try not to pin all your hopes on one thing.
My first consultation was very thorough and all the questions Linda asked were very relevant. Linda's previous role as a midwife made the whole experience even more beneficial, she used both her medical knowledge and experience as well as her alternative therapy treatment which is Reflexology.
Linda organised the Reflexology sessions to work with the treatment cycle, apart from supporting the effectiveness of the injected hormones, the Reflexology helped me deal with the stresses that you get from the treatment and the effects the hormones produce. Linda treated the body and the mind, her sessions were the only times I really felt relaxed during the weeks of IVF treatment. I looked forward to every session with Linda and felt instant benefits which my husband noticed each time too.
Linda is a very professional, kind, understanding and very talented person, and thanks to her and her sessions I am now the proud mother of a healthy little boy!" L.M.
"...I had a priming for labour as I was a week overdue ...."
"I had several sessions with Linda while pregnant. They were so relaxing and eye opening. Also I had a priming for labour as I was a week over due and had my show the next day and went into labour shortly after! I would recommend the session to all pregnant women." V.J
Combined Reflexology and Hypnotherapy
"My husband and I had been trying to conceive for approximately 3 years and were going through the relevant tests at the hospital to be put forward for IVF, when I fell pregnant naturally in December 2009. Unfortunately I had a miscarriage in February 2010 which was devastating for both of us. So the process of trying to conceive started yet again .... As this was a very stressful timer I go in touch with Linda to relieve some of the stress and help me relax and think positively. Before i met Linda we decided to pay for IVF as we were no longer eligible on the NHS as I had conceived naturally before, however after 4 session of hypnotherapy and reflexology with Linda I found out I was pregnant again - yippeee!!! We have just had my 12 week scan and everything is going to plan which is great news and a big relief. I will continue to see Linda throughout my pregnancy as now is an important time to stay stress free!!
Linda is amazingly calming and you just feel yourself opening up to her without even realising it. Both treatments are fantastic and you never want them to end. You come away feeling very relaxed and calm and like the world has been lifted from your shoulders. Thanks Linda." EB
