I was involved in a car accident several years ago and suffered a badly broken wrist. I found from time to time I was getting very bad aches and pains in it. My wife told me I should try a reiki treatment. 

I was very skeptical but I thought I’d give it a go because I don’t like taking pain-killers. It felt very strange; I could feel a weird sort of tingling in my arm and wrist. I have no idea how it works, but it did. Not only that, the treatment was very relaxing, which was great because I have quite a stressful job”.

I had experienced very swollen ankles in the last 3 months of my previous two pregnancies. There was no underlying medical problem but it was very uncomfortable and looked horrible! When my ankles started swelling even earlier on my next pregnancy I felt I had to try something. The something ended up as Reiki.

 

The treatment was very simple. Estelle simply moved her hand along from my toes through to my lower leg, slightly above the skin. She continued this for about 15 mins on each side. I felt very distinct heat and some tingling in my feet. 

 

There was no instant result but the swelling pretty much disappeared over the next 2 days, and more importantly, didn't reappear for about another 2 months. At that stage I had another Reiki treatment, and again, the swelling reduced. My midwife, whom I had also had for my previous pregnancies, was very impressed with the results, as was I”!

Having had both reiki and regular reflexology treatments with Estelle, I can honestly say that my wellbeing as a whole has improved. In particular, I am grateful for the significant improvement that reflexology has made to my swollen ankles. In addition to that, I have been sleeping far better. Estelle’s calm and gentle demeanor instantly helps me relax, and I come away feeling rebalanced, relaxed, focused and ready to take on the world again”.

I was taking anti-depressants for post natal depression but I was having a lot of difficulty coming off them, becoming dizzy when I went for more than a day without a tablet. I was recommended to try a course of Reiki. 

 

During the treatment, I could feel heat radiating from Estelle’s hands, whilst mine became very cold. Strangely, I could also feel a gentle pressure on certain parts of my torso, despite there being no physical contact at all. The treatment left me feeling very relaxed and I remember having a very good night’s sleep that night. 

 

Before I knew it, a week had passed and I felt no need to take any anti-depressants and I had no side effects. I’ve had four sessions in total and I sincerely believe the treatment was instrumental in returning me to a life without anti-depressants.

"I had suffered from psoriasis since childhood and it had affected my arms and legs. I had been prescribed many creams and lotions while in the army, but none of these ever cleared it up fully.

 

I had four sessions with Estelle over a four week period and after the second session I noticed an improvement. By the fourth session the psoriasis had nearly disappeared altogether. After a further week it had cleared up completely. I have been coming to Estelle for regular sessions every three to six months, to keep the psoriasis at bay."

I came to see Estelle for reiki as I was stressed and a little depressed. I was in a relationship that wasn't good for me, but I didn't have the strength to finish it. When she started to work on me I got an amazing burning sensation on my forehead, like it was on fire. One side of my body was very cold and the other side was very hot, and at the very end of the treatment my feet felt like they were starting to burn.

The whole experience was amazing. I came away feeling a sense of relief - there was light at the end of the tunnel after all. I felt much more content, calm and had a gut feeling that deep down I would be able to handle things better. I had the strength to finish the relationship I was in, and that was the best thing I had ever done”.

Mrs Carol Hadden

 

“Having been rather sceptical about reiki at first, I decided to try it after going through a difficult and stressful birth of my first child. I felt angry at myself about elements of the birth. After the first treatment, I felt somehow lighter and less angry. After five treatments, I was finally able to put this in the past and move on. For anyone not sure about it, give it a try, it worked wonders for me”.

Mrs Kay Hunter

 

 

I went to Estelle for a reflexology treatment because I had a sore neck - mostly from stress and tension. I found the treatment most interesting as the tender points on my feet related to my neck, and another tender point on the sole of my foot related to my sinuses which do cause me problems. I felt relaxed and tension free after the treatment and this feeling continued for a number of days”.

Mrs Lynn Kee

 

 

Estelle is an extremely sensitive and giving healer. My experience with her was cathartic. I still find it difficult to describe, as it was such an intense session that was all encompassing. At the time, I was going through a very emotional set of circumstances and was very fragile. The reiki session touched every part of me very deeply, which I have never experienced before and have never since. 

I had no previous knowledge or experience with chakras, however at the end of the session I was able to describe each chakra colour in perfect order. Estelle made me feel safe, and provided a very nurturing platform from which to move forward. I truly believe Estelle has an ability which belies her years”.

"Having reiki treatments with Estelle was a sort of 'feel good' therapy, without having to talk about problems, which I found difficult to do. I found that the treatments helped me relax more and sleep better. It made me feel better mentally and physically, and overall it helped immensely during the period that I came to her".

Reiki and Reflexology

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the principle that there are ‘reflex points’ on the feet which correspond to different parts of the body. Pressure is applied to reflex areas on the feet, using thumbs or fingers, with the aim of stimulating the body’s own healing processes and promoting general relaxation. An Egyptian tomb painting depicting reflexology was discovered in 1897, thought to date back to around 2330 BC. However Eunice Ingham, a physiotherapist, is considered to be the modern ‘mother of reflexology’ and it was she who created the first chart to map the organs of the body onto the feet, in the mid to late 20th century.

 

What is a treatment like?

Clients remain fully clothed during the treatment. Only shoes and socks need to be removed. Once the client is comfortable on the treatment table, the therapist will use their hands, thumbs and fingers to massage the feet, loosen up the ankles and apply pressure to a sequence of reflex points which correspond to different parts of the body.

 

Who is it suitable for?

Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive therapy which can be used on any person, old or young, male or female. However there are certain restrictions which mean that your treatment pattern may need to be adapted or altered, for example if you have a cut on one of your feet, that area would not be treated. Reflexology is also used by people in good health, as a form of preventative treatment and for relaxation.

 

What are the benefits?

For details of some the benefits of reflexology, as described by clients, please see the Testimonials. With regards to practitioner treatments, the Northern Ireland 2005 Life and Times Survey found that reflexology was the form of complementary therapy most commonly used by those surveyed when it came to choosing an aid to wellness and relaxation.
