Hormonal Health, Fertility and Maternity
After nearly 2 years of trying for our second child we were seemingly going through unexplained infertility.
Our GP did some basic blood tests and a pelvic scan but couldn’t see any obvious issues. We were added to a very long waiting list for the fertility department at the hospital. Knowing we couldn’t afford any private fertility treatment (and the NHS wouldn’t fund us IVF for a second child should it come to it) we decided to find an alternative option to try whilst waiting on the list.
Whilst looking into reflexology I came across Debbie’s website. With her certifications, packages and solid reviews, I gave her a call. We discussed reflexology but also the benefits of the full package that would include health screening tests and dietary therapy as well as the reflexology.
Debbie offered a payment plan to pay in instalments which worked perfectly.
After some thorough health testing and questions - most of which my GP had NEVER even spoken to me about such as BMI, diet, exercise, lifestyle, eating / cooking habits and much more, Debbie took me through her supplement and diet recommendations. She was fantastic at drafting up meal options that suited my culinary capabilities (barely any) and lifestyle (working family with a small picky child who eats all her meals with us).
She was so open minded, wonderful, resourceful and knows her stuff!
She would look over my body basal temperature chart every week and tailor our reflexology sessions to where I was in my cycle, and our sessions were a lovely weekly catch up I always looked forward to.
Inbetween sessions, we could check in with one another through her very helpful online system, and I could send photo updates of my dietary progress and check in for more tips.
Shes the cheerleader your just don’t get with a GP, and she will always be there to look into something further and champion your cause.
I’m so happy and grateful to say, that sure enough after Debbie had said it can take 3 or so months for our diet changes to have an effect on our reproductive system, soon enough I found myself infront of a positive pregnancy test. 7 weeks later, still going strong and was so happy to even send an early scan photo over to Debbie, and she was of course delighted.
I cannot recommend Debbie enough, nothing short of a miracle worker!

I found Debbie online after 2 failed IVF cycles and almost 3 years of trying to conceive with unexplained infertility and I am so glad I did! Even though my Partner and I were in good health and had made significant changes to our diet, lifestyle and stress levels already we were interested in the nutritional therapy and reflexology Debbie offered. The nutritional therapy advice provided us with an overview of our health and Debbie helped us find opportunities to improve this even further. I found reflexology with Debbie even more relaxing than acupuncture and looked forward to each session. I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and can't thank Debbie enough for all her warmth, support and compassion during what was a very challenging time in our lives as well as her knowledgeable advice and calming influence.

After two years of struggling to conceive I visited Debbie for fertility help. The reflexology paired with Debbie’s expertise were excellent. Every week I looked forward to my appointment which left me feeling like I was floating on air. After six sessions my period pain and bloating had disappeared, I felt much better in myself and a lot more relaxed. To top it all off, this week I found out I was pregnant. I can’t thank Debbie enough for all her support. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting reflexology to see Debbie, you won’t regret it.

I really couldn't recommend Debbie enough. After years of struggling to conceive naturally, I found Debbie through Google and luckily she practiced just 5 minutes from where I live.
The sessions I had were so relaxing and the nutritional advice that Debbie gave me was so simple yet blew my mind about the impact it can have on your hormones and body. From some really simple and small changes to my diet and weekly reflexology sessions, me cycle began to regulate.
I am now 13 weeks pregnant and truly put this amazing story down to the help Debbie gave me.
She was so supportive along the way, I simply could not recommend enough. And have done so to friends and family!
Thanks Debbie xxx

After having three devastating miscarriages, followed by 18 months of inability to conceive, I thought that having our second child was something we wouldn’t be able to achieve without the assistance of IVF. We began to go through the tests and motions for starting IVF, and in the interim waiting for this grouling process to start I began to look for alternate methods, as a last chance to conceive ourselves. A friend of mine introduced me to Debbie, who had come highly recommended to her for her expertise and specialist treatments for women trying to conceive. I immediately contacted Debbie, who responded right away and provided me with so much valuable information. I was very excited to try reflexology, for many reasons but mainly to help us have our baby. I then met Debbie who has such a calming nature about her presence and within her beautifully relaxing treatment room we had a very thorough consultation which covered everything in depth. Debbie put me at so much ease and I never felt rushed to explain even the finer details. I had been diagnosed with having a very low egg count and borderline thyroid function. After just one treatment Debbie helped and guided me through diet and lifestyle changes, and my next test result showed I had an increase in my egg count and thyroid function was normal. I thought this was the high point, until after my fifth treatment dreams came true. I had a positive pregnancy test! I have continued to have regular treatments to keep baby and I healthy and where we need to be. I am now 6 months in and so genuinely thrilled and forever in Debbie’s debt. Thank you Debbie, from the bottom of my heart! Without your care and treatment I genuinely believe I would not have been able to get pregnant, without going through IVF therapy.

I couldn’t recommend Debbie more. I am seeing her for nutrition advice for my young daughter who suffers from eczema. Debbie took a lot of time and care really listening to my concerns and formulating a plan that made sense and was really easy and manageable for us as a family. I really liked how Debbie gave me small implementable steps and always checks up on how things are going. She has a lovely way about her and you just feel very supported. I liked her so much that I then booked in for myself to address hormonal issues, migraines etc. and again Debbie has been invaluable in offering a doable plan that has made a huge difference already. I would not hesitate in recommending Debbie to anyone

I was looking for a more natural support through the menopause. I did the whole package, screening, nutrition and reflexology. Found out what my body was deficient in, Debbie’s knowledge on the body and what it needs to support is excellent. The difference is a few weeks is amazing, the biggest being insomnia and all because I was deficient in a particular mineral. I couldn’t recommend Debbie enough, knowledgeable, professional and very lovely lady.

I'd been feeling sluggish and generally not great knowing I'd gotten into some poor health habits, so after talking to Debbie about the new Vitality Health Screening I was excited to have it done. Being 46 (and Vegan) with family history of diabetes and poor health I want to avoid the same for myself, so getting checked out and tested to see where my body and health is at seemed a good way of going about it. And it was! 50 different tests including iron levels, kidney function, heart health, sodium & sugar levels it was an impressive screening. The best part for me was having everything explained, why those things are important, what they mean and the absolute icing on the cake: all natural recommendations to improve any areas. You get your test results and Debbie's personal recommendations emailed over also. I wasn't drinking enough water and Debbie sent over ideal times and amounts of when to rehydrate which was so helpful. With that, tweaking other things and it inspiring me to eat well too, I feel so much better in such a short space of time! I'll do this every 6/12months to keep a close eye on my health as I get older, I don't want to be rattling round full of medication in my older years! I also topped off my time with Debbie having THE most blissfull session of reflexology. Absolutely wonderful for my wellbeing. Thank you Debbie

I'd never had reflexology before but Debbie explained what it entailed and put my mind at ease. I instantly felt comfortable with her, she's so knowledgeable and I felt like I could ask her anything. When I first started seeing her I was suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, depression and problems with very heavy and painful periods. Since the sessions with Debbie I've felt a definite improvement in my mental health and wellbeing and as a result I feel much more focused and calm in my daily life. On top of this her nutritional advice has been invaluable, I was diagnosed with adenomyosis in July of this year, but since following a strict diet Debbie advised me on, I've now stopped having most of the symptoms and my condition has hugely improved, with my periods being much less painful now. I cannot recommend her enough, meeting her has had a dramatic impact on my life. Thanks for everything Debbie you've been wonderful.

I first booked a reflexology session with Debbie while I was recovering from surgery for severe endometriosis. Since then I have been having regular reflexology sessions to help with pain and also to combat stress. Every time I go, Debbie works absolute magic on my feet and I leave the sessions floating on air! I really look forward to my sessions and it’s like my own little piece of heaven on a regular basis! Would highly recommend to anyone!

I began the process of looking into alternative therapies to help tackle my PCOS in 2020. After discovering Debbie’s practice online I decided to give reflexology a go! And I absolutely don’t regret it! After the first 6 weeks of reflexology I definitely noticed the difference. Not only were there some improvements in my menstrual cycle but I also noticed an improvement in my general well-being and mood. Not only is Debbie a skilled reflexologist but as a nutritional therapist she also provides great advice on nutrition and complimentary therapies. It takes some personal commitment but if you are willing to invest in your health, and follow Debbie’s advice, you will definitely notice benefits. Aside from that the sensation of a foot massage is sublime and Debbie is very easy to get along with.

When I first came to Debbie I was trying to conceive my first child and had a very stressful and time consuming job. I was looking for a treatment that would help me to relax physically but also mentally. Before trying reflexology I had tried acupuncture, massages, facials etc and nothing had worked. I was nervous when I went to my first session with Debbie as I didn’t really know what reflexology entailed or how I would feel during the treatment. Debbie was very welcoming and listened to what I had to say and made me feel comfortable straight away. I felt the most relaxed I have ever felt during my first treatment and slowly over time have become better and better at slowing my mind and relaxing during my sessions. I see Debbie once a week and no matter how stressful my week has been I don’t mind because I know I have a session of “me time” to look forward to. Reflexology has helped my mental health as well as relaxing my physical body. I am also currently 12 weeks pregnant!

After a couple of miscarriages I was feeling low. As a trained complementary therapist myself I decided to try reflexology to help me relax and hopefully conceive again. I was really fortunate to find Debbie. From the start I experienced benefit from the sessions, feeling calmer and less stressed, helping to relieve some of the anxiety which comes with trying to become pregnant. Debbie clearly enjoys her work and is dedicated to acquiring and applying her knowledge to best support her clients. I was fortunate to become pregnant again and have maintained regular reflexology throughout my pregnancy to continue to support me emotionally aswell as helping to alleviate some of the unpleasant pregnancy related symptoms which I have experienced. I have recommended Debbie to many of my friends and clients and will continue to do so.

I started reflexology with Debbie after being recommended to start reflexology for fertility issues. She was so warm and friendly from the moment I got in touch with her. I had regular sessions with her which I really looked forward to. She always made me feel so relaxed. After less than 2 months of reflexology with Debbie I fell pregnant. I continued my sessions with her throughout my pregnancy which I loved. I would highly recommend her and would definitely go back to see her in the future.</span>

I first went to see Debbie when I was trying to conceive and I was looking for something that would help me relax both physically and mentally. Initially, I was quite nervous and sceptical because I’d never had any complementary therapies before however Debbie put me at ease straight away. She is such a lovely person and so knowledgable in all aspects of reflexology as well as nutrition. She explained all about how reflexology works and it’s possible benefits for fertility. She made me feel so comfortable straight away and I was able to really relax at each session. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for reflexology!!

I started seeing Debbie in early pregnancy – with a stressful job and previous miscarriage I was determined to do everything I could to help this pregnancy go smoothly and prepare myself well for birth and beyond. It feels like there are limited options for enjoyment when you’re pregnant sometimes, but I’ve come to really look forward to my regular reflexology sessions. I always come away feeling thoroughly relaxed and ‘de-fogged’, and physical niggles often drift away. I’ve had the odd reflexology treatment with other practitioners before and whilst I’ve always recognised the benefits, it has only been since seeing Debbie that I’ve been prepared to forsake other things to make sure I fit in my reflexology sessions. I’m also finding that our sessions work really well alongside hypnobirth prep, and the sessions are great opportunities for me to practice my hypnobirth relaxation techniques – with the two combined I think I’m as well prepared as I can be for a calmer labour.
— Clare N
I booked my first ever reflexology session at the end of my pregnancy, due date plus 5. It was absolutely fantastic, it was the most relaxing treatment I have ever had. Debbie is lovely and really made me feel relaxed. I would highly recommend her. I'm looking forward to having more reflexology with Debbie in the future
— Sarah S
Have loved both my treatments with Debbie, whilst pregnant & postpartum. She provides a calming atmosphere with a very professional approach. I felt absolutely wonderful after each session. I will definitely return to sit in her comfy treatment chair & fly away...... See you again

I visited Debbie in 2017 after 2 miscarriages left my cycles all over the place and me feeling totally helpless. Debbie was so knowledgeable and I immediately knew I was in good hands. At my first appointment, she picked up on a previous injury/surgery on my coccyx without me ever telling her about it, I was amazed!. After just 2 sessions my cycles were back to normal again and each session left me feeling more and more relaxed. I continued my reflexology as we started our IVF treatment the following year. Unfortunately our cycle was unsuccessful but we conceived naturally the month after and now have a beautiful 16 month old little boy. Debbie worked wonders getting everything back in sync for me and I can't thank her enough.

Stress, relaxation and wellbeing
I visited Debbie after suffering terrible constant pain in my lower left abdomen due to chronic ibs symptoms . Id been suffering with this pain and flare up for six months and nothing the dr was prescribing was solving the pain or discomfort . Meeting Debbie for the first time , she instantly made me feel relaxed and really understood how this was making me feel and the impact this was having on daily life. She was really thorough and after doing my screening , we talked through the results and was emailed a few days later with changes that would definitely improve my gut health and hopefully improve my chronic ibs symptoms . Going to that appointment and following all of Debbie’s changes was life changing. I have followed all of Debbie’s advice and after being in daily pain for so long , it was amazing to be pain free after so long and to feel well again . These changes to my diet not only remedied the ibs symptoms but also my psoriasis which I’ve had for 36 years , which is now completely clear ( I can’t actually remember when I was psoriasis free ). I honestly can’t thank Debbie enough for what she’s done and all the information and advice she has given me since my first appointment. I feel like I’ve got my life back again .

In January I booked an appointment with Debbie for a screening. I had been feeling really out of control of my health, I was losing clumps of hair, no energy and had developed eye eczema which is something I have never had an issue with before. No matter what I tried or how many doctors app's I attended it just wasn't getting better. At my screening appointment I was really impressed with how much Debbie actually tests, so much came up that my GP hadn't been able to highlight. Debbie gave me some recommendations there and then so I could get started on addressing my symptoms. I then booked a nutritional therapy app with her a few weeks later to discuss how the initial recommendations had gone and give me a better idea of what food I needed to be eating to better my health. 3 months later I came for a follow up screening and I had already made so many improvements. 6 months on, my eczema has completely gone and my energy levels are back to normal, as well as the added benefit of my hormones feeling balanced. Debbie was great throughout, always there to answer my questions and support me however she could. I couldn't recommend her more!

Having spent 3yrs trying to fix a digestive issue I decided to search the web for a more natural healing process & came across Debbie’s page & decided to book some screening tests. This was back in August & after identifying a number of areas out of optimal performance, I am happy to say I am recovering steadily & feeling much more energised & positive going forwards. Debbie is extremely passionate about her work & undoubtedly very knowledgeable, she goes out of her way to provide excellent information with her in depth report at no extra cost. To conclude, an excellent all round package & very good value for money considering the duration of sessions & follow up report & recommendations. Thank you Debbie.

I first went to see Debbie with chronic back pain. She is genuinely interested in helping you through your problems. I have arrived many times on 'top note' and she has calmed me down so I am able to enjoy my treatments tremendously. She looks at the whole person and has helped with me with her nutritional knowledge. I would Definitely recommend making an appointment with Debbie.
—Sue
I suffer from terrible Tinnitus and after searching on the Web for remedies I discovered reflexology pressure points can help. On my first therapy session, I realised Debbie was a caring professional therapist who listened very intensely to her clients which made me feel relaxed straight away. Debbie has also introduced me to a healthier diet, pointing me in the right direction to a Happier Gut. I look forward to every session knowing it will totally relax me. I now feel I’m not as anxious with my Tinnitus and have a much improved sleep pattern. I would highly recommend Debbie and I’m looking forward to my next 6 sessions! Thanks Debbie you have made a tremendous difference to my wellbeing.

I can really recommend Debbie to anyone. I have had reflexology a few times in the past, usually at spa's and I have always found it really relaxing. When I visited Debbie I was going through quite a bad time and was extremely stressed and suffering from anxiety. Debbie had asked me to fill in a questionnaire regarding my health and we then discussed this in some detail. I think perhaps talking to Debbie put me at ease at once and so Debbie carried on with the reflexology. I can honestly say I have never felt so relaxed as during this treatment and it was far superior to reflexology I have had in the past. This in turn allowed me to lie there, de-stress, and sort out a lot of the things on my mind. I came away feeling really good. The treatment had definitely helped with the pain of neuropathy in my feet and given me the added bonus of sleeping better. I will definitely go back again.
— Linda G
I've had quite a lot of reflexology over the years and I have to say Debbie is one of the best reflexologists I've come across - she's also a lovely person and very knowledgeable about complementary health in general including nutrition! I would definitely recommend her.

After searching for a long time to find the perfect reflexologist I found Debbie, fortunately she was able to fit me in, sometimes the journey of life can be difficult for us all in many ways. Debbie has the most calming aura which reflects with her treatments. She is truly wonderful. I cannot express how much I have benefited from our sessions , I feel an overwhelming sense of wellbeing , I have now restored control and focus In my life and feel very much alive with every breath I take, I most definitely feel more harmonised and energised , what an amazing experience , thank you Debbie you’re the best , always look forward to next time it’s my calmness and therapy of my week”

Debbie is a breath of fresh air and very relaxing to be around even before the treatment as she has a naturally calming manner. With a stressful and demanding job I needed some way of managing my stress levels, I also struggle with allergy and sinus problems and hoped Reflexology may help. Over a course of 6 treatments I began to feel much more calm and much more able to manage my stress levels. During a treatment I would also literally feel my nose clear and I felt that I could breathe more easily. I now have monthly treatments with Debbie which act as general maintenance, I really look forward to my treatments and couldn’t be without them. If you are looking for a reflexologist in Manchester I would recommend Debbie without hesitation.
— Honey
Debbie is fantastic and a true professional. She’s extremely knowledgable in her field and a lovely, warm person too. She makes you feel very comfortable, and her room and set up is tranquil and relaxing. I would not hesitate to recommend her thank you Debbie! X

I was actually looking for local massage therapy when I came across Debbie's details online. I just felt that as a masseuse I needed to look after myself too, in order to give my patients the best service. I had developed some aches and pains but nothing specific. I had tried reflexology before and found it helped. I had a course of treatment and now book in regularly for maintenance as I really feel that it helps. Debbie is really calm, professional and extremely good at her job. I feel so relaxed during a treatment and when she finds a 'problem' area that needs working on she does it so gently, quietly checking that I'm ok. I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone.

Reflexology was a mystery to me until I took the plunge last year and made an appointment with Debbie. Suffering with stress and sleepless nights, I was at the end of my tether and had lost the ability to de-stress and relax. I had no idea how reflexology could help and was initially very scepticle about it - but almost ten months later, reflexology with Debbie has become a vital part of my wellbeing and overall health and I look forward to every session. Not only is Debbie a very experienced therapist, she's also very soothing and has a 'magic touch' that pinpoints areas of pain, areas of stress and areas that are problematic and somehow soothes them and releases your stress. After a lovely reflexology session I feel completely relaxed and able to face any challenge head on; including health problems, work stress, personal stress, etc. Debbie also picked up on issues that she came across long before the medical profession diagnosed me with an underactive thyroid - and regular reflexology sessions enable me to deal with this confidently and with very little stress. If you've never had reflexology and you're unsure how it could help, all I can say is TRY IT! After a few therapy sessions with Debbie, you start to feel 'well', in a way that you can't describe...it's just an overall sense of feeling calm, relaxed, balanced and complete. I can't recommend her enough - thank you for 'fixing' me Debbie xxx”
