 Reflexology with Meeta

 

Reflexology is a complementary therapy, it involves applying gentle pressure to the feet or occasionally to hands. Reflexology works on energy pathways, the aim of the treatment is to relax you, ease stress and tension and help with general well being, this also support emotional healing. The treatment is often used by cancer patients.

I qualified as a reflexologist in June 2021 and am currently working at Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted. I also have my private practice which I run from home in Watford but also offer a mobile like service.
