A self-confessed sceptic, Sue discovered the power of reflexology on a holiday in Ireland back in 1986. Her husband Glynn had a treatment and she was amazed that the SRN doing the treatent picked up on various health problems.
"I wanted to find out more. As a beauty therapist, people are always telling me about their health niggles; I realised reflexology might be a way of helping them more. After that, I enrolled on a course at the International Institute of Reflexology. I was taught that each part of the body has a corresponding area on the foot. By massaging the feet I can restore balance to the body. I call it 'fortune-telling by feet".
"When my daughter, Charlotte, felt unwell one day, I looked at her feet and felt around until I was sure of what I had found. I thought she has appendicitis. But the doctor was dismissive and told me to take her back the next week with a urine sample if I was still comcerned. She was rushed to hospital the next day to have her appendix removed."
Sue incorporated reflexology into her work. Soon she was getting amazing results. "My clients started saying they had noticed a difference in my hands and I started to realise I was becoming sensitive to people's pains. If I hover my hands over someone's limbs, I get a tingling sensation in my fingers that tells me when something is out of balance.
