Reflexology in Tiverton and the Mid Devon area
Hello, I'm Kerri, a fully qualified and insured Reflexologist, creating moments of calm and peace in a serene therapy room in Tiverton, Devon.
A Tranquil Setting
'The Durin Room' at Liznojan Bookshop might seem like an unusual location for a reflexology practice, but I couldn't be happier with this choice. The therapy room is a true sanctuary, featuring soothing colours, soft blankets, dimmed lighting, and calming music - a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle.
My approach to Reflexology
I'm very passionate about reflexology and its ability to positively impact our physical, mental and emotional well-being. While reflexology is my primary focus, I also offer Indian Head Massage, a treatment that beautifully complements reflexology. My specialism in these therapies enables me to create tailored treatment plans for my clients and it's incredibly rewarding to witness the benefits they experience. You can read their lovely feedback on my Facebook page.
The Power of Reflexology
Reflexology is a powerful, non-invasive therapy that can make a significant difference to the way we feel. By working specific reflex points on the feet, face or ears reflexology can help:
- Reduce stress and promote relaxation: It encourages the body to enter a state of deep relaxation, allowing both mind and body to reset.
- Support overall well-being: Reflexology can improve mood, aid sleep and boost a sense of balance and resilience to life's pressures.
- Relieve physical symptoms: Many clients find relief from headaches, tension, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances and more.
Whether managing a specific health concern or simply needing time to unwind, reflexology offers a natural holistic approach to well-being.
My Qualifications
- 2018: Trained with Derek Lowe at the Devon Academy of Complementary Therapy in Exeter, earning the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology and the ITEC Level 3 diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology - completing over 100 treatments before qualifying.
- 2022: Qualified in the 'Bergman Zone Method of Advanced Facial Reflexology' through the London School of Reflexology, trained by Ziggy Bergman herself. This is the only facial reflexology course accredited by the Association of Reflexologists.
- 2023: Gained certification in Indian Head Massage, a treatment that complements reflexology beautifully. This ancient practice involves massage of the scalp, neck, shoulders, arms, and hands to relieve symptoms like headaches, eye strain, insomnia and tension.
- Most Recently: Qualified in Auricular Reflexology (reflexology of the ears) and ear seed placement through a course with Stephanie Sabounchian, the leading Auricular Reflexology instructor from the USA. Ear seeds - tiny gold and silver spheres can be applied to specific points to enhance the treatment for up to five days.
Working specific reflex points on the feet or face can help unblock areas of congestion in the body, support the body's natural balance, and promote a sense of inner calm, improved well-being, and greater resilience to daily life.
Professional Memberships
As a member of the Association of Reflexologists (AOR), I hold a nationally recognised qualification and adhere to the AOR's code of practice. I am committed to ongoing professional development through regular training and keeping up with industry advancements. I love to learn and am always completing further studies and increasing my knowledge.
My Background
Before becoming a reflexologist, I worked in education as a Higher-Level Teaching Assistant, I'm told that I can naturally connect with children and I truly miss this rewarding work, so I am always delighted to see younger clients. I've also worked in HR, Change Management & Retail Management so I have a full understanding of life in the fast lane and the pressures and demands that come with a stressful job.
A Little About Me
I'm 48, peri-menopausal, and happily obsessed with chocolate. I live in a restored old pub in the countryside with my lovely husband, daughter and our lively dog. Life is busy and fun! I find joy in simple pleasures - spending time with family, beach picnics, coffee with friends, mini-breaks, cinema, gardening and more.
Everyone Is Welcome
Reflexology can benefit absolutely everyone and I love working with clients from Tiverton and beyond - Exeter, Taunton, Barnstaple and further afield. Many visit me for support with specific health concerns or simply to enjoy deep relaxation (sometimes both!). Reflexology can aid sleep, release tension, improve mood, promote well-being, and so much more. Please contact me if you would like to discuss how Reflexology might help you.
''My aim is to bring relaxation to those who are stressed, luxury to those in need of indulgence, support to those suffering with illness and balance back to the body through professional reflexology'' Kerri Elliott, MAR Reflexologist
