My name is Eva and I am based in the Chapeltown area of Sheffield. After spending 30 years in the Pharmaceutical Industry, working in different roles and across several therapeutic areas, the pandemic, as for many of us, made me re-evaluate my life and my next path.
I decided that I wanted help people via alternative therapies – giving people a choice on how they manage their health and wellbeing. Reflexology has always been an interest of mine, having benefited from undergoing reflexology treatments myself. I wanted to explore this further, utilising the techniques to help others.
My reflexology knowledge has been helped massively by my Physiology/Pharmacology degree and also the vast healthcare knowledge I have gained over my career.
I am a qualified Level 5 Clinical Reflexology Practitioner. I studied this with the tutoring team of Jubilee College led by David Wayte, who is a Fellow of the Association of Reflexologists and the only Reflexologist in the UK to be made a member of the Royal Society of Medicine Practitioners. This wonderful qualification enables me to give the highest level of practice possible, tailoring treatment plans to client’s specific needs.
I am trained to help with fertility, maternity, menopause issues, palliative care and also in the use of NEPIP which can help with PTSD, anxiety and stress.
I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists (AoR), Association of Repro Reflexologists (MARR) and I am also listed on the NHS Reflexology services website showing the only one local to Chapeltown area.
Please contact your private health care provider scheme to confirm if Reflexology treatment is reimbursed as part of your cover.
There has been evidence found in ancient civilisations all over the globe that Reflexology was in use as a therapy.
The first evidence of this holistic therapy was found in the tomb of an Egyptian physician named Ankhmahor, dated 2330 BC. The tomb revealed beautiful hand painted hieroglyphs depicting Reflexology treatments on the hands and feet.
Dr William Fitzgerald, an ear nose and throat surgeon, in the 1900’s, developed Reflexology with his research into Zone Therapy. This was later refined by Dr Joe Shelby; who actually detailed the first diagrams of reflexes on the feet and hands. Eunice Ingham a physiotherapist and assistant of Dr Shelby, continued to develop the mapping of reflex points whilst performing several client studies. Eunice is credited with developing reflexology as we know it today and disseminating this to the general public and bringing this to England with the help of Doreen Bailey in the 1970’s.
Reflexology was developed initially within the medical profession, but due to the lack of funding for scientific and clinical research through the years it was deemed as a complementary therapy. Today with the support of professional associations and modern contributors, Reflexology is continually developing, and research is on the increase. Several papers have been published specifically looking at the effectiveness of Reflexology and are available to view in the links below.
There is not ‘one definitive explanation’, some are based upon energetic principles and in contrast other explanations are based upon scientific research.
Reflexology is a holistic therapy and if you want to find out how it could help with your specific condition, please feel free to contact me, in the strictest confidence, to discuss your health needs.
The research tells us that Reflexology techniques, when specifically adapted to meet the personalised needs of the client along with the power of the mind, natural healing responses can be promoted and healing time considerably reduced.
There are research papers and media reports linking the efficiency of clinical reflexology treatments to the following conditions….plus many more!
