Frequently Asked Questions:Q. Should I ask about the therapist qualifications?A. When seeing a therapist for the first time never be afraid to ask to see their qualification, most therapist are very proud of their diplomas and have them on display in the treatment room. Also if the therapist is a member of a professional organisation such as ICHT or FHT this is an indication that their qualifications are approved and recognised. Q. What is a contraindication to treatment? A. A contraindication means it would be unwise or unbenificial to treat a client due to either a unstable condition or shortly after a change in medication or if they have a infection or virus. Q. What is a healing crisis? A. Some times a clients symptoms may feel worse before getting better, they may become emotional during or following a treatment. This is quite normal and part of the healing process of letting go of the past and moving forward. Repressed emotions are often the cause of many illnesses. Q. What should I wear for my treatment? A. Something comfortable and easy to change in and out of if your having a massage. A towelling wrap will be provided and towels are used to cover you whilst being massaged to ensure your modesty at all times. Q. How frequently should I have a treatment? A. It largely depends on the reason for you having the treatment, sometimes shorter more frequent treatments may benefit a client. An example would be a client with hormonal imbalances, I may recommend fortnightly Reflexology for two to three months followed by a monthly treatment to maintain the clients well being. When a client is having a therapy for relaxation or to keep their well being in balance they may choose to have either weekly, fortnightly or monthly treatments or the occasional therapy as they feel the need or as a well deserved treat. Q. What is meant by "Holistic" and how is it different from other therapies? A. Holistic therapies look at the whole person not just their presenting symptoms as in orthodox treatment. The clients past and present health and lifestyle are all taken into consideration. As a holistic reflexologist and aromatherapist my aim is to re-balance the body and mind allowing Qi our vital energy to flow freely, aiding the bodies own automatic feedback mechanism "Homeostasis" to regulate and facilitate the bodies own natural ability to heal. Testimonials I went to Cheryl having had quite a few major back and neck problems recently and throughout my life, along with some underlying health problems. I was courious to see how holistic therapy works and if it could work for me. Cheryl was incredibly welcoming and immediately set to work on an extensive health analysis of my current and past health problems. She was incredibly sympathetic and understanding and took everything into consideration, she gave me an aromatherapy holistic massage, the whole affair was dealt with very professionally and with care. I felt very rejuvinated and incredibly relaxed after. Cheryl was also very careful to tell me what I may experience after and provided me with very informative after-careand various suggestions, making me feel very rest-assured. I have already noticed a big difference in my body, it's functioning and even my posture, which has all improved greatly. I would recommend Cheryl to anyone with any sort of health or muscular problem, she is precise, caring and very attentive whilst using her huge fountain of knowledge. I will certainly be using her massage therapies on a regular basis and passing her details on to my friends and family.
