Reflexology - Pregnancy and Delivery
I had treatments with Pauline throughout my last pregnancy and have been seeing her regularly through this pregnancy too, both of which had no complications.
I believe my short labour with my first was due to the reflexology treatments and I am sorry that I won't be able to continue with them to the end of this second pregnancy, due to her departure.

Reflexology - Migraines
For four years I have been going to reflexology with Pauline. In those four years my headaches and migraines have more or less vanished. This has made a huge impact on my life, and my working life especially. Not only that, but I love the treatments.

Reflexology - Infertility/Conception
Having had reflexology once previously quite a few years ago, I was not really 'sold' on the concept. Perhaps it was because I was too young to appreciate it, or maybe I didn't connect with lady doing it, I'm not entirely sure.
In March 2008 I was told that I was not ovulating, and that after some investigations, they couldn't find a medical reason for this. My partner and I were trying to conceive without success, and this was obviously the reason! Every month my bloods were taken and tested by the doctors, but still there was no change. I was given Chlomid (a drug to stimulate ovulation) and still this was not successful. Eventually I was referred to a gynaecologist who was not hopeful of finding a medical reason as to why this part of my cycle was 'not working'. Apparently there are a lot of people that simply cannot conceive for 'unexplained reasons'.
It was after this meeting that I decided to try alternative methods. November/December 2008 I went onto the internet and found Pauline and booked my first reflexology appointment. I had my 2nd appointment early January 2009 and by my 3rd appointment in February 2009 I was able to go to Pauline with the wonderful news that I was pregnant.
Some people may say 'what a coincidence', but I truly believe Pauline connected with me and worked what can only be described as 'her magic' on me.
Pauline gave me no false promises, but was very strict in her methods of getting me to relax and let-go for the entire time I was with her.
I am now a totally converted believer in reflexology (with the right person) and I think the power of the unknown in these methods are incredible.
At the time of writing this, I am almost 4 months pregnant and I feel I owe this miracle to Pauline. I will be forever grateful. Thank you for everything Pauline, you have made a huge difference to my life.

Reflexology and PMT
I have been seeing Pauline for around 3 years for reflexology sessions to help with PMT. It wasn't long into the treatments before I began to notice an improvement in my symptoms, which before reflexology, could start approximately 2 weeks before my period was due. The reflexology has reduced this significantly and some months I don't suffer with PMT. On the occasions when I do, it is only a few days before and to a far lesser degree. I feel much better in myself and it has made a big difference to my life. Reflexology is also a great way to unwind, you feel totally relaxed after the session. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Reflexology for Insomnia & Menopause
A friends recommended Pauline to me a few years ago, and I am very glad she did. Reflexology has been an enormous help with issues such as insomnia, hormonal problems due to peri-menopause and just for general relaxation. I usually try to time my sessions with Pauline so that I can just go home and chill for a few hours to savour the experience.
It is so nice to be treated by someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Pauline, and the hour or so she spends with you makes you forget, just for a while, your day to day worries and problems.

Migraines & Menopause
I have had reflexology with Pauline for many years. During that time it has helped with my migraines and menopause symptoms. When I missed a few months appointments my migraines returned with a vengeance. Regular appointments mean I do not need medication. Not only that, I like it!

Cancer
Reflexology has changed my whole life, instead of being a cancer sufferer,I am alive and happy. I am getting on with living, not just existing.

Sciatica
I have been having regular reflexology with Pauline for the past few months mainly for my sciatica, this has helped beyond my expectations. I had been in severe pain for almost a year trying many different types of treatments plus visits to the GP, hospital etc with no relief at all, not even with strong pain killers. From my very first treatment I have been totally pain free. I have also had many other different ailments put back into working order. I feel much better with lots more energy, thank you Pauline.
