TESTIMONIALS
The under noted are the personal views from some of my clients. They describe their individual experiences and beliefs and are not proof of the general efficacy of Reflexology.
"I had some good luck recently. I signed up for the free monthly reflexology draw that Doris offers on her website, and to my surprise won it. I turned up feeling pretty tired after a weeks work and not knowing what to expect. Doris worked on my feet for a full hour. It was truly relaxing and my feet felt wonderful. I think I drifted off to another planet, about half way through. The bonus for me was I had the most wonderful, deep sleep that night, and woke so refreshed and full of energy - something I just wasn't expecting." JG, Midlothian
"I was really pleased to notice Doris' special 3 for 2 offer in her newsletter, especially as I'd just found out I was expecting my third baby. The reflexology was ideal for treating some of my basic pregnancy ailments and of course for sending me into a relaxed, dreamlike state - total 'me' time and resting, just what I needed!" ER, Edinburgh
"Yup, still pain free!!! I was at work yesterday and managed fine. I'm still astounded how much the reflexology helped! I really thought the pain would be to far advanced this time to achieve any results....but it's just amazing! I've gone from walking while holding onto furniture, almost in tears with the frustration and pain, considering going on early maternity leave (meaning i would have less time with baby once born) and seeking advice on how to obtain crutches to help me walk......to being back to leading a normal (heavily pregnant!) life! Thank you Doris." KC, Midlothian
"I've been having reflexology with Doris for over a year now and look forward eagerly to my monthly sessions, which give me a much needed boost in energy, after the initial effects of extreme relaxation. Over this time I've been convinced of the link between the various aspects of our bodies and minds, as well as the benefits of regular relaxation, which are both immediate and significant. Doris provides a calm environment in which to experience this fantastic treatment." JP, Haddington
"I keep returning because the results last longer than in other spas / centres. The pressure is comfortable and effective. I have exceptionally tickly sides and feet, but don't even feel the need to flinch during the foot reflexology and Indian head massage." JG, Edinburgh
"I was 8 days overdue during my second pregnancy & was scheduled for an induction on due date + 14. I was willing to try anything to avoid induction & my midwife asked me if I would consider any alternative therapies. I had been for reflexology postnatally once in the past & found it very relaxing. I had an appointment on a Wednesday evening at 7pm & my son was born the next night at 10pm. Initially during the session the points on my feet weren't at all 'sensitive', but as the treatment progressed the pressure points became more & more sensitive. Also, almost instantly when the treatment began my bump became crampy & the baby became very active. Through the night after the treatment I started to have some mild contractions & by the morning the contractions were regular. I would recommend reflexology to any woman who is overdue & wants to avoid being induced. I am confident that the reflexology treatment from Doris initiated my labour." BS, Edinburgh
"I was looking for something to help me relax and decided to try reflexology. It's really worked for me. During the treatment I find myself drifting off and afterwards I feel very chilled and sleep much better too." KF, Edinburgh
“I’ve been having reflexology with Doris for many years now and feel that it works in a more preventitive manner than cure. However on my last visit I mentioned that my sinuses were very blocked and during the treatment just before Doris asked “how does that feel?” I felt a burst of moisture at the bridge of my nose and suddenly I could breath again! I was amazed and delighted.” EC, Armadale
"I had never tried reflexology before as I thought a massage would give more effective and direct relief and relaxation… how wrong I was. I tried Doris as a one off and have never looked back. I have not had a massage since, believing that this is not only more effective in treating all kinds of symptoms but holistically more relaxing and stimulating. Doris is very skilled and makes you totally relax from the start, I have and will continue to recommend Doris to all my friends and family." JD, Edinburgh
‘I actively look forward to my reflexology sessions with Doris. The treatments in themselves are very relaxing and afterwards I feel more energetic. I also have problems with my sinuses and the reflexology helps alleviate this.’ AR, Fife
"Reflexology helped me detect the source of my back pain (shoulder) and sort it out (new desk chair, different mouse etc.) Reflexology takes the strain off my sciatic nerve and I don’t get such sore backache that I can hardly walk anymore." BR, Edinburgh
"After my regular reflexology session with Doris my feet feel like they are walking on air" HH :)
"I’ve been seeing Doris every month for around 6 years now. I originally decided to try Reflexology to help with my migraines, and after a few sessions these disappeared! I decided to continue with regular sessions, as I find these very relaxing. More recently I have been diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder, and I believe that reflexology complements the conventional treatment I receive. Doris is also a very good listener, and can help me to work through any problems in my life with some gentle suggestions to try and help me resolve. Sometime the opportunity to voice problems and solutions with someone completely independent is therapy in itself!" LP, East Lothian
"I suffered from really bad PMT and severe period pains. I had tried everything but nothing worked. I came across Doris' practice and have never looked back. A regular series of reflexology sessions have left me, one year later, without any monthly agony which has really changed my life! I'm very glad to have found reflexology and Doris." B, Edinburgh
"In one session Doris has been able to unblock some blockages I had for a long time, and after the session I have been able to sleep well after almost four months! Has been a pity I was in Edinburgh only for a few days, but I will book for sure another session when I will be back in Scotland!" EF, Italy
"Just to let you know yours was the most relaxing kind of treatment i have ever had! you were fantastic, many thanks again." RB, Edinburgh
"Immediately after the session I felt slightly better; however the next day when I woke up the strain was all but gone! A slight niggle remained for few days but then disappeared." SA, Edinburgh
"For me, Indian head massage brings relaxation. I work at a PC and have a pretty hectic life. I tend to get tight neck and shoulder muscles. The massage helps me to relax and de-stress and brings feelings of calmness and balance." SL, Edinburgh
"The Indian Head Massage takes all my stresses away in a gentle grounding way. I no longer suffer from headaches and find the massage helps my neck and shoulder tension considerably. The treatment is so good I have recommended it to family, friends and working colleagues. As a busy working mum of two, I find it invaluable. Its restorative “me” time that I can’t do without!"
