About Me
Relax ~ Rebalance ~ Restore
I am Jill, a fully trained Holistic Therapist and have been for 30 years. I love what I do and am grateful for the most wonderful clients. I am passionate about making sure your visit to my Treatment Room, in the lovely village of Boston Spa, is welcoming and most of all unique to you, sending you home feeling Relaxed, Rebalanced and Restored! Giving you the time you deserve.
I believe that you should find a Therapy that works for you and receive it on a regular basis, self-care is so important!
Since training in NO HANDS Massage I have been receiving regular treatments from a Therapist who works using the NO HANDS technique - it's like anything, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. I am also very lucky to have a wonderful Sister-in-law who lives in Lincoln who is a Therapist too, we try and get together every month to do treatment swaps ! I always look forward to my treatments and the benefits they give me.
Please stay a while and read all about the treatments I offer by clicking on the Treatments tab above.
Training:
My training began way back in 1991 and I have added to my qualifications and kept up to date with continued professional development to make sure your treatments are the best they can be, helping you on your journey through life.
I have followed my heart and chosen to further my knowledge in Holistic Therapies over the years as I believe these to be so beneficial to our Mind, Body & Soul - helping us deal with whatever life throws at us.
Following the postponement of this course from November 2020 and January 2021, I was able to do the course in April 2021. Such a lovely facial to give and receive, using healing Rose Quartz Crystals and the beautiful Rehydrating Rose range from Neal's Yard Remedies Organic. Bringing balance back to your energy and a glow back to your skin.
Dien Chan Zone Facial Reflexology
During Jan/Feb/Mar 2021 I studied the art of Dien Chan Zone Facial Reflexology and then undertook my assessment in April 2021. I can already see and personally feel the benefits this could also have for you. Treating the inside by sending messages from the outside via your Central Nervous System. A relaxing, calming and nurturing treatment, giving you the opportunity to reconnect with your body and empower you to take care of your own wellbeing.
Transforming Touch Course (2009) - This was my 1st course and I was hooked straight away - loving the way it changed how I worked - bringing it back to my clients and them loving it too! This form of touch, if you allow, goes so much deeper on all levels than "conventional" massage!
Practitioner Course
Advanced Practitioner Course
Sports Massage Course - applied to the back
Advanced II Course
Transforming Touch Course - going back to basics, giving me the opportunity to absorb more from the very 1st course!
Mastery Course (2015) - which was 9 days of intensive training over 3 weekends throughout the year - becoming a NO HANDS Therapist and developing my skills to another level. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekends, learning new skills to bring to my treatment room. I hope you will give my Massage a try - just have a look on the Client Feedback page to see what people think!
Reflexology Level 3 VTCT (2017) - and I'm loving it! Learning and researching how and why it can be so beneficial for so many people. A relaxing and calming treatment that allows you time to switch off and your body to heal itself!
Reflexology for Women's Health (2018) - A hands on practical Workshop run by Hagar Basis - "Reflexology for women's health aims to support the unique aspects that influence all levels of a woman's femininity which is experienced throughout her life. Teaching practitioners how to apply the skills and techniques that will help their clients to feel, nurture, and build their inherent vitality, improving health and encouraging the body's natural healing processes. This hands on experiential workshop enables participants to feel the effects of the techniques during the practice"
Reflexology for Stress - A key to Health & Wholeness (2019) - A Hands on practical Workshop run by Hagar Basis - "We need a certain level of stress to thrive in life but when stress escalates significantly it disrupts our health and wellbeing and consequently can lead to serious dis-ease. The emerging science of Psycho-Neuro-Immunology (PNI), gives us a deeper understanding of stress and the Mind Body connection. PNI identifies the direct links between psychological distress and illness. Reflexology is a useful tool not only for tackling high stress levels but also reducing the impact of persistent stress on our bodies"
Reflexology for Menopause (2021/2022) - If you are heading into your perimenopausal/menopausal years or have arrived already and feel a little unbalanced and are experiencing a handful, a bucketful or even a tsunami of unwelcome symptoms, this may help your body become more balanced and your mind a little calmer to help deal with these daily events! There is a main routine with helpful additions of an anxiety routine, hormone balancing and also some lymphatic drainage to help with inflammation/puffiness!
A great little booklet can be handed out after your session if you are interested in learning a little more about what you can do to help yourself through to the next phase of your life.
My original Beauty qualifications gave me the basics and from attending different courses over the years, including Indian Head Massage, Hopi Candles and my No Hands Massage - these have all allowed me to adapt the techniques I was originally taught to bring you my own unique Facial routine.
Natural Facelift Massage Course (2016) - the safer, natural alternative! I really enjoyed the course and so excited to bring this new safe alternative to my Treatment Room. See Neal's Yard Organic Holistic Facials for more information.
Beauty & Massage - ITEC/CIBTAC (1991-1994)
Baby Massage Instruction with the IAIM (1998) - really enjoyed teaching groups of Mum's and on a 1 to 1 basis - loved watching the positive changes for both Mum and Baby. It really helped me with my two boys too!
