NATALIE’S REFLEXOLOGY AND WELLBEING
Reflexology in raunds, Northamptonshire
About Me
My name is Natalie Clayton and I am a registered midwife. I live in Raunds, Northamptonshire with my 4 children and partner.
I discovered reflexology by accident, and it was only after a discussion I had with someone who had experienced it that I became intrigued. I researched reflexology and discovered that there was so much more this therapy could offer to everyone and anyone. I, therefore, embarked on the journey to becoming a qualified reflexologist.
I have now continued with my journey and advanced my knowledge of other treatments and services that I can provide to promote wellbeing for everyone.
As a fully qualified reflexologist and a member of the Association of Reflexologists (AOR), I treat holistically by using reflexology therapy to encourage general health and well-being. By using techniques using the fingers and thumbs to apply pressure to differing reflex points on the feet or hands that represent the different parts of the body, this aims to encourage relaxation, to release any tension and stress the body is holding onto, as well as improve sleep and restoring balance in the body. This encourages improvement in general health and wellbeing by working holistically. I have also been taught techniques to work the lymphatic system which may help with lymphatic conditions.
As a midwife, I am a specialist in maternity, having completed an Advanced Maternity Reflexology Level 8 course. With experience, I have seen many conditions that can cause tension and stress on the body during pregnancy and really want to help ladies feel more comfortable and relaxed using reflexology. Not only can it help with pregnancy but with postnatal discomforts that can cause tension in the body. Once the baby has arrived, reflexology therapy can encourage relaxation which may improve sleep and encourage the body to relieve any tension, for example in the gut which can cause constipation and reflux.
As a holistic midwife, I aim for women to experience a more natural approach to childbearing.
Wellbeing in general has become part of my passion and knowledge base and have transferred this to my services that I offer.
Please feel free to contact me for further information.
I hope you are all well and keeping safe. These are very uncertain times and has been quite scary. As a midwife, I am fully aware that the safety of both the person I am caring for and myself are paramount to reduce the risk of spreading this virus. A lot of work has been going on in the background to return to work as a reflexologist. As a Full Member of the Association of Reflexologists (AOR) and a responsible practitioner, I am following the Government’s guidelines (as are the AOR) and will be returning to work as soon as The Government announces it is safe to do so. Advanced notice will be given of my opening date.
There will be a few changes about how treatments will be carried out going forward. Here is how things will change:
- I will only be carrying out foot reflexology treatments at present. Reflexology in pregnancy is still safe to do and I will be providing my maternity services.
- All consultations will be carried out either via Zoom or telephone call (whichever is more accessible to you). This will be included in your treatment time. By consultation, I mean the initial health and wellbeing questions asked for the first appointment and the health and wellbeing update on follow up appointments. This will need to be carried out within 24 hours prior to the reflexology treatment; ideally within 12 hours prior to treatment.
- A risk assessment will be carried out, which has been approved by the AOR. This will be done at the same time as the health and wellbeing consultation. These will be a series of questions asked directly related to COVID-19 symptoms and circumstances.
- A limited number of clients will be treated in a 24 hour period to ensure thorough cleaning of equipment is carried out and to ensure I can change my uniform into a clean one prior to the next client.
- Upon arrival at my treatment room, you will be asked to sanitize your hands with sanitizer I provide.
- Face masks will need to be worn, including by myself. These will need to be clean on and if using disposable masks, will need to be unused. I am asking you to provide your own masks as this will allow me to keep my prices the same and not increase them by providing clients with extra PPE. I can provide facemasks for an extra £1 and this will literally cover the cost I paid for them.
- Unfortunately, I can only see one client at a time, unless I am treating a young person aged 16 or under. If this is the case then the parent/carer will need to undergo the risk assessment questionnaire as well and adhere to the above PPE and hand sanitizing protocol as stated above.
- Please bring just yourselves and no unnecessary belongings. This is to ensure limited contact and the spread of the virus.
- Payments would need to be ideally by BACS or by PayPal prior to treatment. Please understand it takes a lot of preparation in ensuring my treatment room is clean and safe for my clients and this will reduce ad hoc cancellations.
- When leaving the treatment room, please ensure you sanitize your hands using the sanitizer provided.
Please be assured that after each client my treatment room and equipment will be fully cleaned and sanitized prior to the next client.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please keep safe. These are uncertain times and what better way to help relax and de-stress than having a reflexology treatment. Look forward to seeing you all soon.
