My Services
Thank you for landing here to take a look at my offerings. I hope what I’ve written will give you a good flavour of my work and my own personal approach. I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have, and you are most welcome to book a 15 minute discovery conversation to discuss how we may be able to work together to best meet your needs. Please click on the boxes below for more detail about each of the therapies and services I offer. Holistic Therapy treatments usually take place at my home address at Cheddon Road in Taunton, Somerset (I have a dedicated Treatment Cabin in my garden) but if you have limited mobility for any reason please do get in touch and we can discuss whether it may be possible for me to travel to you for your session (surcharge may apply for travel time and fuel). ‘Soul Midwifery Services’ are usually carried out in your own home or care environment.
If you have any aspects you would like to explore, or questions about your own wellbeing, or that or someone you have care for, please get in touch to book a 15 minute discovery telephone conversation with me.
If you have any questions about your child’s wellbeing I will always be happy to try and answer them for you so please do get in contact. Reflexology can assist with lots of childhood conditions and I have worked with my own three children and many other families to treat issues such as trapped wind and constipation in babies and children.
I offer a shorter treatment session for babies or very young children and include in this showing the parents how to work the reflexes themselves so they can maintain it at home. These sessions are priced at £20 for half an hour, and include showing parents how to gently work the reflexes themselves.

Featured Therapy – Gentle Release Therapy (GRT)
In March 2021 I trained in a wonderful therapy called ‘Gentle Release Therapy’, this system is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and encourages the organs and systems of your body to gently release energy that is stuck or held and not currently able to be in flow. By the very gentle placing of hands on the body we are able to encourage a beautiful release, and to support your body, mind and emotions to be more at ease. Like easing the lid off a pressure cooker, we can softly release tension and long-held patterns. As the name suggests, this therapy is extremely gentle to receive, and yet is incredibly powerful in it’s capacity to allow energy to shift and flow.
In November 2022 I completed the Advanced Practitioner Training Course to further enhance and develop my skills in this beautiful therapy. I find it especially supportive for those experiencing deep grief. GRT really allows the body to gently shift grief and trauma and allow them to be more gently integrated.
I have been honoured to learn this therapy from it’s founder Helen Robinson, and I very much look forward to sharing it with you. Feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute ‘phone call to discuss how Gentle Release Therapy can support you.
