I’ve just returned from a very relaxing reflexology session at The Natural Health Clinic, and thought I’d share as would very much recommend this clinic to anyone living in Bristol!

It was first recommended a few months ago when I had a very useful 1 to 1 session with the doctor at The Penny Brohn Centre, as I wanted to get advice on holistic therapies which can work alongside traditional medicine, and I had just completed 6 rounds of Chemo, surgery and then radiotherapy, I am still undergoing treatment and wanted something that helped with my recovery.

I had an initial consultation with Sam who talks through your current health and what you want to get out of treatment and we agreed on both reflexology and acupuncture. I have the reflexology with Val to just generally balance and de-stress me and the acupuncture I have with Sam who focuses on the side effects from the drugs I am on which are pushing me into early menopause. I have had several sessions now with Val and Sam and I find them both very helpful to calm my mind and body and I do find my side effects are improved when I have an treatment.

I think we all are living extremely stressful and hectic lives and any chance to take time out and re-balance yourself is important!
