About Jude

I first discovered reflexology, a few years ago, when I was going through a stressful period in my life, and having difficulty relaxing and sleeping. I decided I would try a treatment, and was amazed at how much better it made me feel. I had the best night’s sleep that I'd had in a long time, after just one treatment. I also found that it helped to lift all my tension away, and I was able to drift off during the treatments, which I would never thought possible.

At that time I was working within the NHS as a registered mental health nurse, in a senior position and no longer frontline. I had been really missing the contact with patients, but I didn’t want to go back to frontline nursing. I still really wanted to provide care and make a difference to the lives of others but in a different way.

I had benefited so much myself through having reflexology and I felt that was the road I wanted to take. I wanted to help others benefit from the treatment in the way I had. After a bit of research, I decided to apply to study with Richdales Institute, where I successfully completed the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology. I’m delighted to now be in a position to offer the treatment that I love so much and which I get so much out of giving.

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a gentle complimentary therapy that encourages the body to balance and heal itself. It involves applying thumb and finger pressure to specific points, known as reflexes, on the feet or hands and other areas of the body such as the ears. These reflexes mirror the organs and structures of the body and emotional health. So the hands and feet are mini maps of the body, which can encourage holistic healing.

Reflexology helps to put your body into a relaxed state so that your nervous system can function effectively. It can improve both your cardiovascular and your lymphatic circulation. This in turn strengthens the immune system and increases general well being and energy levels.

Reflexology may be used alongside your conventional treatments. It can be used purely for relaxation. Having reflexology regularly may help to reduce tension and improve your sleep.

What to expect before and during treatments

You will pay for the treatment in advance. Jude will ask some questions about your health and lifestyle. This is your consultation. There are certain medical conditions for which reflexology is not recommended, this are called contraindications. If this is the case she will be able to discuss and explore other therapies with you.

With the all clear Jude will agree a treatment plan with you and help you to settle back on your own chair or your bed. You will remain fully dressed and will only need to have your feet or hands bare. She will use a towel or sheet to cover you and will cleanse your feet and use a vegan balm such as shea butter or beeswax on your feet or hands, whatever you prefer.

Jude prefers to treat your feet where this is possible, as they are more sensitive to the treatment. Your feet have 7000 nerve endings which are stimulated during reflexology. If it isn't possible or best to work on your feet Jude can treat your hands and you will greatly benefit with that too.

Reflexology is a gentle treatment. There is no such thing as no pain no gain here so it shouldn't be painful and if won't be ticklish.

This is your time to relax and Jude will very much encourage you to do so. If you dose off that's a good thing. The treatment is working it's magic! You are and will feel the benefit despite that. Alternatively if you don't dose off and you would like the time to talk, to off load, that is fine too. Or if you just want quiet time. Whatever suits you and whatever your needs, It's your time to enjoy and benefit from I regard as a wonderful treatment.

As you'd have paid for the treatment in advance Jude will leave you to sleep if you have dosed off and would prefer this. If this is the case Jude will check in with you later as agreed. You will be given aftercare advice following the treatment.

The Aims of Nubian Touch Reflexology

Nubian Touch Reflexology aims to help each person, or to achieve and maintain a state of equilibrium and balance in their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health.

Nubian Touch aims to achieve this through providing foot and hand Reflexology. Nubian Touch Reflexology aims to make treatments accessible for all.

Balance

Reflexology is a wonderful way of maintaining your body's healthy balance and general wellbeing, reducing the stresses and tensions that come with busy lifestyles and giving us a space to reflect on the mind as well as the body.

Relaxation

Reflexology can induce a deep state of relaxation, which improves the effectiveness of the treatment. Relaxing helps relieve tension and aids circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients, oxygen and energy to all parts of the body, and helping with the removal of toxins.

Health

While it is not a cure, Reflexology can be particularly helpful in managing many health conditions, especially constant or recurring ones that we might have come to accept over time as being a normal part of life.
