My work has given me the opportunity to help
many people over the last few years. My clients
are of all ages and backgrounds and they
come to me for many different reasons. Some
need just one treatment while others have
several or see me regularly over a longer
period. Here are some things they have had
to say about their experiences:
Zoe, Maternity Reflexology 2009
I started having weekly sessions of reflexology
when I was 32 weeks pregnant with my 3rd
son. My pregnancy was uncomplicated
apart from some hip discomfort, and a few
digestive niggles. The reflexology
certainly helped with both these problems,
and most importantly helped me to relax and
sleep well. The nights after the sessions
I almost always slept very deeply.
Neither of my previous births had been complicated,
nor overly long (the first was 10 hours,
the second 6 hours). However I really
believe that the reflexology played an important
part in making my third labour as easy, relatively
pain free and quick as it was. I
was 7cms dilated when I arrived at the hospital
much to my midwife's shock. My
contractions had been fairly light and uneven,
with the odd strong one every now and then.
My son, George, was born 3 hours later.
I had no tearing or even much bruising,
in fact I didn't really feel like I had
given birth at all!
I also believe the reflexology helped my
son get into the correct position, he had
been back to back at the last 2 midwife
appointments. After both Sue used part
of the sessions I had to persuade him to
move, and he did, again making the labour
much easier.
Another thing that was rather wonderful
about the reflexology was feeling my baby
respond to some of the manipulations.
It gave me a real feeling of connection,
and made me realise how "in touch"
my whole body was with the baby inside me.
If I decide to have any more children I would
absolutely want to have reflexology throughout
the pregnancy again.
Emma, Maternity Reflexology 2009/10
I have had reflexology during two pregnancies
and found it hugely helpful. It has relieved
constipation and back ache and left me feeling
energised. It seems to have a direct effect
on the baby too, who moves around a lot more
than normal for a few hours after each treatment.
Kate, Reflexology 2009/10
A session with Susan Quayle is a pleasure,
in every sense of the word: her enthusiasm
for both her treatments and you as a patient
is infectious. I always look forward to a
treatment and, although she has worked her
magic and cured my illness, I still love
going back time and again because a session
with Susan goes so far beyond addressing
the immediate need - it restores balance
to every other aspect of your being.
I had suffered with a chronic undiagnosed
abdominal condition for nearly six years
when I first contacted Susan for Reflexology.
Prior to my first session, she had conducted
copious amounts of research on my symptoms
and showed real optimism and a genuine willingness
to help. Susan advised an intensive period
of weekly sessions but, as soon as my condition
started to alleviate, Susan herself suggested
a reduction in sessions, and has remained
conscientious and understanding throughout
the seven months we have been meeting.
I cannot praise Susan Quayle enough: as both
a professional and a friend.
TR, a female client
In August 2008 my Father suddenly passed
away. This sent my world into a complete
spin. So much to do, so much to organize,
caring for loved ones and on top of all this
coping with the emotional and physical pain
that comes with grieving for someone you
love so dearly.
I put all of what I was feeling to one side
and got back into the swing of home life
with my own family and work. A friend gave
me a voucher to have a body massage with
Susan. I arranged for this to be at my own
house, I felt that this would be better for
me as I could then relax after and not have
to drive home. The massage was quite intense.
Susan recognized that I had that I had become
quite ‘knotted’ and tense and
this would take a lot of manipulation. Several
bruises appeared after the session - however
Susan had warned me that with such an intense
massage this would probably happen.
The feelings that I experienced following
the treatment were quite powerful, they ranged
from feeling tired to gaining energy. I wanted
to drink a lot of water and subsequently
needed to wee a lot! A few days following
treatment the tears flowed and flowed –
but in a good way that gave me a feeling
of relief and that a heavy weight had been lifted from me. One of the most powerful feelings I felt/feel,
was that I was no longer weighed down with
grief, yes you still feel emotional and the
tears are never far away but, being able
to relax into one's feelings instead
of fighting them and becoming tense, is I
feel, down to having massage. I wouldn’t
hesitate to recommend massage as it has helped
me both physically and emotionally during
a time where your whole body is tested to
its limits.
