In 1995 I opened Ashby Clinic with the aim of MAKING REFLEXOLOGY ACCESSIBLE TO ALL AGES. Over the years I have seen patients with many conditions, some with progressive illnesses and some with emotional problems affecting their physical wellbeing. A year after opening the Clinic I was invited to be the Complementary Therapist for the Occupational Health Department of Southend Hospital and I still work at both establishments. Ashby Clinic is situated on the A13 map easily accessible from the surrounding towns and villages of Benfleet, Hadleigh, Rayleigh, Southend, Rochford & Great Wakering.

Whether I am working with Maternity, Sub-Fertility or General Reflexology I never cease to be amazed by the benefits of this ancient therapy on the young and not so young. Stress affects so many people and can eventually lead to Sleep deprivation resulting in Panic attacks, Depression, Digestive and Skin disorders. The calming effects of reflexology have definitely helped patients when they are suffering from stress.

Back in 1998 I attended a Maternity Reflexology Seminar and had not expected to be so enthralled and excited about working on pregnant feet but it was as though a door had opened into another realm of reflexology. This led on to more Advanced Reflexology Courses and eventually I worked on a voluntary basis in the Hospital's Central Delivery Suite. Seeing the effects of this incredible therapy during labour and being able to help with pain relief was both an honour and an achievement. I was asked to be the guest speaker for the midwives Continued Professional Development, an excellent opportunity to explain exactly how I used reflexology throughout pregnancy. Following this workshop the Community Midwives started recommending their pregnant ladies to me at Ashby Clinic.

Maternity Reflexology is a specialised area of reflexology and I teach and share my experiences through 2 Day Maternity Reflexology Courses at my Clinic and around the UK. Please see the Maternity Reflexology Courses or Maternity Reflexology pages for more information.
