My Story
Welcome to my page! My name is Jennifer Brown, but you can call me Jen :)
I’m 43 years old and have been married to Steve for almost 8 years. I initially trained in Reflexology in my twenties after losing my Mum to cancer, she had always been fascinated by complimentary therapies, and she got me interested too. I never used my training until I had a breakdown at work and had to leave. A stressful job in Social Work had taken its toll and I needed to find something that suited me better. I still wanted to help people, but without the stress and crippling anxiety on Monday mornings. So naturally I turned back to complimentary therapies and I re-trained as a Reflexologist. I have never been happier! I worked for 4 years as a mobile therapist, which was fantastic, however constantly lifting heavy equipment took a toll on me physically. When COVID-19 came along I was not allowed to work as a mobile therapist for 6 months due to the restrictions, so made the decision to rent a therapy room. I am excited for what this next chapter in my wee business will bring!
I have a history of working in social care, both as a carer and in Social Work as an Occupational Therapist. My interests have always leaned towards complementary therapies and I am also a Reiki practitioner and crystal healer. My love for Reflexology has seen me concentrate more on that, adding Facial Reflexology and Zone Face Lift into the services I offer. Although I don’t offer Reiki and Crystal healing as a seperate treatment, these can be added into your treatment as a wee extra, and I believe Reiki often flows during any touch, as long as the recipient is accepting of it.
I trained with the International Institute of Reflexology (IIR). Their training is very comprehensive - it took me over a year to complete the course, and I sat practical and theory exams on reflexology, an anatomy and physiology exam and completed 100 case study treatments. The IIR are the only school licensed to teach the Original Ingham Method.
I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists, which means that my training has been deemed to be of a good standard, I am insured to practice and that I will continue to develop my skills through ongoing learning.
I have personal experience of stress, anxiety and depression which makes me able to understand how devastating these can be. I will help you to reduce stress and tension and take back some control of your mind and body. I use a medium pressure during treatments, however this is adjusted depending on your reactions/wishes. A treatment does not have to be painful to be effective, and although some areas may be tender, the session should generally be comfortable and relaxing :)
Feel free to message me with any questions and I will do my best to answer them. If you would like to arrange an appointment then either message on facebook, email, text or call, whatever suits :)
Thanks for visiting my page :)
