About Vanessa
Welcome to The Healing Ground, where I offer Duopody Reflexology, Reiki and Access Bars® sessions. These gentle energy touch therapies are designed to support relaxation and balance and promote an overall greater sense of well being.
Duopody Reflexology is a modern and innovative therapy that concentrates on the reflex points of both feet, working collaboratively to promote balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. As a Level 5 Applied Reflexology Practitioner, I have received training in advanced reflexology techniques for NEPIP (Neuro-Endo-Psycho-Immune-Pody), including Stress Management, CALM, and Chakra Balancing. My expertise also extends to specialised areas such as Fertility, Women's Health, and Support for Palliative and Oncology care.
To enhance my holistic practice, I am a Reiki and Access Bars® Practitioner offering treatment sessions personalised to your individual needs, creating a calm and nurturing space.
✨ Reiki is a gentle energy therapy that promotes deep relaxation and a sense of calm and wellbeing.
✨ Access Bars® is a gentle, hands-on energy-based treatment designed to help quiet the mind, release mental clutter and encourage greater relaxation, focus, emotional balance and restful sleep.
My focus is to create a calm, comfortable, and supportive space where every client feels cared for and valued. Whether you are looking for relief from stress, help with sleep, support for pain management, or simply time to relax and recharge, I am here to help you on your wellness journey.
Your well-being. Your time. Your journey.
About me
My journey into holistic therapy has been shaped by a long-standing desire to help and support others. My background began in nursing before I moved into medical sales, where I spent over 30 years working within the healthcare industry.
Although I enjoyed my career, I had always dreamed of creating a business of my own and felt increasingly drawn towards complementary and holistic therapies. I had personally always loved receiving reflexology, and the more I experienced it, the more curious I became about how touch, energy and intention could support our overall wellbeing.
Eventually, I decided to take the plunge and studied for my Level 5 Diploma in Applied Reflexology for Integrated Medicine. Once qualified, I knew it was now or never, so I followed my passion and created Vanessa Holistic Therapy, offering personalised Reflexology and Reiki treatments. As my journey has progressed, so too has my interest in various approaches to well-being. Earlier this year, I completed training in Access Bars®, motivated by an interest in understanding how the body responds to gentle energy therapies.
For me, well-being is a personal and ongoing journey, and I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to accompany you on this path by providing holistic support as you prioritize your health and well-being.
