Meet The Therapists - Lucy (Reflexology & Massage)

Hello, I am Lucy Lea, Reflexologist & Massage Therapist

I first became interested in Complementary/Holistic Therapies in  my early twenties when I completed the ITEC level 3 Diploma in Swedish Massage and Anatomy and Physiology in 1998. I practiced as a Massage Therapist for a few years when my daughter was small and loved it.  Unfortunately, due to a change in personal circumstances and the added pressure of becoming a single parent, I decided to embark on a career in education for more financial stability. However, I never really lost my passion for Holistic and Complementary Health Therapies and still made time to offer treatments to friends and family, attending various CPD courses over the years to keep up to date with any changes in the Complementary Therapy World.

After being made redundant from my ‘career’ in education after 14 long years, perimenopause hit hard, resulting in feelings of anxiety and depression,  constantly feeling tearful and tired, all resulted in lost confidence and self-esteem.  It was during this period of  sleepless nights and never-ending anxiety that I reignited my love for complementary therapies and treatments again. My passion to practice as a Professional Therapist came back with a huge bang; I wanted to help people, particularly women, to feel better. I decided to requalify and update my skills and start practicing again as a Professional Therapist. I also completed additional Level 3 training in Reflexology, with a focus on 'Wellbeing for Menopausal Women'.  I am a  fully registered member of the CThA (Complementary Therapists Association) delighted to be back doing what I love and gives me purpose.

It is my belief that we cannot live a happy and meaningful life if we are disconnected and fragmented physically and mentally; that it is so important to look at all of the elements of our health simultaneously.

I use massage, accupressure and Reflexology to provide support with

• ​Physical health: body aches, chronic pain, tension, fatigue.

• ​Emotional health: feelings such as anger, sadness, or worry.

• ​Mental health: depression, anxiety and stress, insomnia

• Spiritual health: feeling empty, lost, incomplete.

My approach is  tailored to the individual. I use a combination of both Eastern and Western methods and techniques during my treatments. Relaxation and soothing myofascial release techniques and deep tissue/trigger point techniques depending on client needs.

​

I look forward to treating you
