What happens in a Reflexology session
Your first session of Reflexology will begin with a consultation where I can answer any questions you may have relating to the treatment and learn more about you.
The treatment will take place on the massage bed. For foot reflexology the treatment is on the feet and calves, it is a good idea to wear comfortable clothes. I will use an organic massage balm or cream on the feet and for facial treatments I will use Ziggie Bergman’s award winning ZFL products.
After the treatment you will be encouraged to drink lots of water to help with the elimination of toxins, other aftercare suggestions will be tailored to each person.
A little about me
My name is Dervla, my journey with reflexology, along with all the other holistic therapies I have studied over the years, began when my son was little and suffered with migraines. He was born extremely prematurely and consequently had a few issues, one of those being debilitating migraines. At the time I was only able to give him calpol for the pain and it didn't help at all. I decided to find an alternative and discovered the incredible power of reflexology. Reflexology not only helped relieve my son's migraines but also reduced his anxiety. He also loved the treatments which was an added bonus.
While studying reflexology I learnt about many other alternative therapies and decided to investigate these too. I have since trained in facial reflexology, Functional Reflex Therapy (FRT), Reflexology lymph drainage, Indian head massage, reiki and sound healing.
My background has always been in music, I studied singing at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London and worked as a chorister in the Royal Opera House for over 20 years. I've recently studied sound healing as a way of incorporating my music into my holistic therapies.
I'm really excited to share all of these wonderful therapies with you.
What my clients say
Vanessa
“I have been having regular treatments with Dervla for the past year. Dervla is exceptional and you immediately feel a sense of calm and are able to relax quickly. She is a natural. The treatment is so relaxing, I just wish it wouldn’t end! I have felt huge benefits, a sense of more balance and it has helped with a lot of joint, rib and stomach pains and helped me to sleep so much better too. It’s amazing really, especially if you go on a regular basis. I have had reflexology for over twenty years and Dervla is one of the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.“
Amanda
“I had about 10-12 reflexology sessions with Dervla. She is intuitive and kind and I think she’s a natural healer. She’s also knowledgeable and gives good advice. She makes suggestions gently but always states that as a reflexologist she can’t diagnose or cure but somehow she can feel where the body needs help. It’s a wonderful complementary therapy which definitely promotes balance and healing. I have hormonal issues and IBS which definitely benefitted from Dervla’s treatments and I felt so much better in mind and body. It even improved my sleep. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
Debbie
"I always love my sessions with Dervla, the treatment is so relaxing but at the same time really beneficial for me. I was having trouble sleeping and after two sessions I saw a real improvement. As a stress buster it is just perfect. My whole body benefits, and my time with her really sets me up well for following days and weeks. I would wholeheartedly recommend giving her therapies a try."
