Sally, aged 52

'A friend suggested I try Facial Reflexology, to help with re-activation of certain muscles of one side of me following experiencing a severe brain injury. After recovering from the initial coma caused by this, I was paralysed on the left side of my body. Months of Physiotherapy, Osteopathy and encouragement, enabled generalised return of mobility, but I was left with imbalances and a very lop-sided facial appearance. I am delighted that over a period of time, attending regular appointments, Facial Reflexology has certainly helped tremendously, with friends remarking that “you look like you again”. I find the therapy sessions very relaxing (I usually drift off to sleep!) and Penny has all the qualities anyone would hope of a therapist – sympathetic, good listener, gives useful advice and fills you with confidence that she thoroughly knows what she’s doing, is gentle and effective'.

‘The treatment has helped stimulate parts of my facial nerve and has helped me recover from the horrible after effects of radiotherapy which I had following a middle ear tumour’.

Barry, aged 62

‘Facial reflexology has helped me deal with the physically debilitating effects of Parkinson’s disease and helped me emotionally to come to terms with living with depressing disease’.

Belinda, mother of Tom aged 13

'I would like to thank Penny who has treated Tom as she has done a wonderful job. It takes Tom a long time to trust someone and she has managed it in super quick time. The trust he has built up with her now enables him not only to fully relax but also to talk about things that have happened at school in a secure environment. I have always given Tom a head massage particularly when he is stressed, this could be on a daily basis but the facial reflexology however has reduced this to maybe once a week. If the service is withdrawn from school I know I would have to pay for private treatment to ensure that Tom continues to receive the benefits gained over the last few months'.

'Reflexology is great, it feels nice and relaxing.  The reason why I like it is it helps me to sleep better and when it is being done I just feel so nice and happy and I always want to sleep.  Most people might not think much of it, but I guess they will never know - I wish everyone could experience it.  It works better when I am angry and upset because it calms me down and makes me feel happy'.
