Enhancing Your Well-being Through Holistic Therapy

Welcome to Vale Holistics! I am Becky, a qualified nurse educator with over 25 years experience caring for adults and children in critical care, community and palliative care settings,. I am the founder of Vale Holistics. I have been interested in holistic therapies for over 20 years as I explored complementary approaches for improving comfort and pain for my patients and families.

I am a fully insured member of the association of Reflexologists; providing holistic therapies within my private practice in the Vale of Glamorgan. I am situated within the coastal town of Llantwit Major; however,  I also offer home visits to individuals  within surrounding areas unable to travel.

Reflexology is a form of massage in which the practitioner uses their knowledge and skills to apply purposeful touch on the feet/hands/face. Reflexology has many benefits such as relaxation, stress reduction, improved comfort and sleep.

 Reflexologists utilise an individual holistic approach which aims to promote a feeling of balance and wellbeing for the individuals they treat. 

Reflexology has ancient origins with evidence of Reflexology practice dating as far back as 2330 BC in China, In ancient times Reflexology treatments of the hands and feet were utilised to relieve symptoms such as pain, promote healing and strengthen the body. Within traditional Chinese medicine  reflexology has been regarded as a powerful tool for promoting health through balancing Yin and Yang.

 Through stimulating reflex points and meridians on the feet/hands/face reflexologists can improve comfort and promote wellbeing. 

Recent studies have found reflexology and massage to be beneficial complementary approaches for the management of symptoms such as pain, anxiety and quality of sleep. 

Reflexology and massage are complementary therapies; they are not substitutes for medical advice or treatment. Through choosing a reflexologist who is a member of the Association of Reflexologists, you are ensuring that your practitioner has the appropriate knowledge, skills and experience recognised by the Association for excellence in reflexology practice.
