Services
​
General Reflexology
This deep and restorative treatment will aim to identify any imbalances in the body, without diagnosing and over time, return the congestive reflexes to a normal state. This treatment should leave you feeling energised, uplifted and with a sense of well-being. Hand out information is provided where required to provide guidelines on healthy lifestyle. On contacting Jacqui, please briefly discuss your health situation as there are a few conditions that are contraindicated.
​
Fertility
This is a particularly experienced area for Journey By Foot, and Jacqui treats both men and women individually, and couples. Fertility clients will be shown how to use the FAM (Fertility Awareness Method) through the Barnes Basal Temperature system, which will be assessed at each treatment. They will also be supported with a Lifestyle Information Pack on their first visit and are directed throughout their treatment plan.
Women’s Health
From concerns such as PCOS and infertility, to hormonal fluctuations and menopause, Jacqui works with women of all ages to support them in achieving their optimal health. She has particular experience in working with women who suffer with infertility and/or miscarriage. Each treatment is tailored to suit the concerns of the individual, and an in-depth consultation on your first session will identify your treatment needs. Jacqui also uses FAM (Fertility Awareness Method).
Men’s Health
Jacqui works with men of all ages to support them in achieving their optimal health. She has particular experience in working with men who suffer with poor sperm quality/count and couples experiencing infertility. She also works with men who have suffered sports injuries. An in-depth consultation on your first session will identify your treatment needs.
Muscular Skeletal Health
Back, neck and joint pain can feel truly debilitating. Jacqui uses a variety of techniques that can assist in recovery from injury, inflammatory or postural problems that cause pain and discomfort. Reflexology is sometimes underused in this field but can be particularly effective, and often, rapid in its results.
​
Metabolic Health
This treatment will target metabolic health with the aim of helping to re-balance the body's biochemical processes that govern it's efficient functioning. Jacqui is particularly experienced in working with clients who have thyroid complaints, insulin resistance and adrenal fatigue. Jacqui may recommend a referral to a Naturopathic or holistic GP who specialises in functional medicine to support this journey back to health if the symptoms present are particularly complex. It is important to note that working with hormonal problems can sometimes require patience and commitment.
​
Immune Health
This treatment combines reflexology to stimulate detoxification, supporting the immune, digestive and endocrine systems with changes in lifestyle to support restoration of the immune system. Here we address autoimmunity and building an effective response to infections such as colds and flu. These treatments are particularly helpful for anyone with autoimmune conditions such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, compromised immune function and the elderly.
​
Corporate Clients
Jacqui has a wealth of experience offering tailored services to large corporate organisations as well as small independent businesses. General Reflexology is often popular for corporate clients, but individualised, tailored treatments can also be offered.

What to Expect in Your Treatment
1.
In your first appointment, expect a full discussion about your medical history, your current lifestyle and your health goals. Here we will address any on-going medical treatments or medications in this session.
All consultations and treatments are confidential.
3.
At Journey By Foot, reflexology is not practiced as a spa treatment. It involves working the pressure points in your feet - sometimes quite deeply. This can be uncomfortable at times but your reflexologist will respond to your comfort and sensitivity levels.
5.
At Journey By Foot, reflexology treatments are viewed as a participating partnership. Expect your reflexologist to discuss the reflexes and responses of your feet, your comfort level as well as your insight into why certain reflexes may be showing up on your your feet during your treatment.
2.
Your reflexology treatment will focus on your feet, so expect to remove your socks and shoes, and to have your feet 'worked on'.
Please note, your reflexologist will not wash your feet, so clean feet are appreciated.
4.
Your reflexology will be undertaken on a therapeutic chair. For your comfort, and depending on your condition, your reflexologist may provide you with a blanket and/or pillow.
6.
Expect to leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and relaxed. Depending on your condition and your goals, it is likely that your reflexologist will recommend regular visits in the first 6-8 weeks after your first treatment.
