Reflexology and Reiki in Fareham
Grounded
Holistic Therapies
Welcome to Grounded!
Hey! I'm Ellie, and here's a bit of background to my journey to Reflexology!
I have been working as an Occupational Therapist for over 20 years in a number of specialities including neurological rehabilitation and fatigue management for conditions such as ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, and Long Covid. However, over the last 5 years I have been on an enlightening journey towards Reflexology. I first explored Reiki, completing my Reiki 1 qualification, and then following this I was frequently drawn to Reflexology in a number of ways.
Finally, I had a 25-minute Reflexology treatment myself at a festival, in a beautiful location with the wind in the trees, which made me feel like I had been transported to another world of deep relaxation in nature. This was the final push I needed to impulsively sign up for the Level 5 diploma in Reflexology at Jubilee College. I am now a fully trained and insured Reflexologist, a full member of the Association of Reflexologists , and I am very excited to give others the opportunity to experience this amazing feeling!
I am now also qualified in Reiki 2, and Facial Reflexology (Bergman Method), which are now on my menu!
Reflexology
As a Reflexologist my role is to provide you with a safe space for you to relax, feel Grounded, and experience the incredible impact that this holistic treatment can have on your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. The benefits of Reflexology are endless and can be used to help many conditions and symptoms.
Reflexology can transport you to a state of deep relaxation, as well as promoting balance, healing, and the flow of energy within the body.
I provide both foot, hand, and facial Reflexology, so you can choose which you feel most comfortable with, or even have a mixture! All of these treatments will transport you into a deep and restorative state, and many of my clients have reported feeling relaxed, energised and rejuvenated simultaneously.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a gentle and non-invasive holistic therapy which can be extremely beneficial for many physical and mental health conditions, as well as alleviating stress in the treadmill of life. This is an ancient treatment, where the whole body has been mapped onto the feet and hands – foot map.
These areas are called ‘reflexes’. During a Reflexology treatment, the reflexes are manipulated and they can cause changes in the body to encourage it to heal, restore, and re-balance.
Reflexology is not a diagnostic treatment, or a replacement for conventional medicine. However, it can be extremely beneficial to be used alongside to help the body in the healing process.
The benefits of Reflexology are endless! Ranging from stress-busting to the rebalance of hormones, improving sleep and fatigue, and digestive issues. If you are interested, please get in touch below and I would be happy to have a chat 🙂
What can I expect?
During a treatment session I endeavour to make it the most relaxing and positive experience, as we rarely give ourselves time, purely for us. This is your time, so you can expect a comfortable, relaxing treatment room with essential oils, warm blankets, and music, where you can really escape. Prior to your treatment we will discuss your preferences, so you can relax completely.
The first session is always an ‘initial consultation’, where we will chat before hand to ensure Reflexology is appropriate.

You will then have a full treatment lasting over an hour, and will have time afterward to slowly come back to the real world! You can expect to be with me for around 1 ½ hours.
Follow-up sessions are 50 minutes, but again with some time before and after to prepare and come out of your relaxation (a little!)
After every session we will have a chat and I will give advice or signposting where appropriate.
Is Reflexology for me?
Reflexology can be beneficial for many conditions and symptoms, although there are some contraindications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), unstable heart conditions, and shingles. We would discuss any potential risks before you have your treatment, so rest assured that it will not have any negative impact.
I have experience in a number of areas including:
• Sleep disorders
• Reproductive health (such as perimenopause)
• Chronic and life limiting conditions

I am also qualified in the use of Adapted Integrative Reflexology (AIR), which is a beautiful, lighter touch where both feet are treated simultaneously. This technique is perfect for conditions such as Fibromyalgia, ME/CFS, Long Covid, depression and anxiety. It is sooo relaxing!
In addition to the above, I am trained in Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT), and am incorporating some of these techniques into my practice where appropriate.
My Location
I currently have access to a beautiful clinic room at Manor Wellness in the centre of Fareham or Stepping Stones Holistic Health in Gosport.
I also offer mobile Reflexology, so you can relax and unwind in your own safe space. If you are interested in this, get in touch and we can chat about logistics and price depending on distance.

Cancellations/Rescheduling
Once your appointment has been booked, I request a deposit of £20 via bank transfer in order to secure the clinic room.
Obviously I'm aware that life can be very busy and stressful, so if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment it is absolutely fine. If this happens, I ask if you could give me 48 hours notice so I can book someone else into your slot. Unfortunately, if it is later than this I will be unable to refund your deposit.
Gift Cards
If you would like to treat your loved ones (or even yourself!) to a Reflexology session I am offering gift cards of any value.
Relax, Restore, and feel Grounded
The gift cards will be valid for 6 months of the date purchased, but please get in touch for more information and I will be very happy to help!
This was an amazing holistic fayre I attended on the 10th January! I was lucky enough to give 6 lovely people a 20 minute taster session and to spread the relaxation!
I have a lot more events in the pipeline this year, so watch this space!
