Meet The Therapists - Lucy (Reflexology & Massage)

My Story

Hello, I am Lucy Lea, Reflexologist & Massage Therapist

I am a fully qualified and insured Holistic Therapist and registered member of the CtHA. I first became interested in Complementary/Holistic Therapies in my early twenties when I took the ITEC level 3 Diploma in Swedish Massage and Anatomy and Physiology in 1998. I practiced as a Massage Therapist for a few years when my daughter was small, and I loved it.  Sadly, my personal situation changed and I felt that I needed to get a full time 'proper' job to enable me to pay the rent and bills. Complementary Therapies were only just getting popular back then, regular, committed clients were difficult to find.  However, I never lost my passion for alternative and Complementary Therapies and continued reading/studying related books and still treating my friends and family.  I was eventually made redundant from my 'proper' job after 14 long years. At that time, my physical and mental health started to really suffer, I also said a very unwelcome hello to the dreaded Peri Menopause. I was feeling, depressed, anxious, tearful, tired and had lost all of my confidence and self-esteem.  It was during that period of mental and physical ill health, loneliness, sleepless nights and never-ending anxiety that I started to reignite my passion for Complementary Therapies and treatments again. My passion to practice as a Professional Therapist reignited. I wanted to help people feel better. I decided to requalify and update my skills and start practicing as a Professional Holistic Reflexologist  and Bodywork therapist, with a focus on Wellbeing for Women. I am so happy to be back doing what I love and helping you to balance your health & wellbeing holistically.

​

I truly believe that we cannot live a happy and meaningful life if we are disconnected and fragmented physically and mentally. It is so important to look at all the elements of our health simultaneously.

Holistic therapies can provide support with -​

Physical health: body aches, chronic pain, tension, fatigue and diseases.​

Emotional health: feelings such as anger, sadness, or worry.​

Mental health: depression, anxiety and stress ​

Spiritual health: feeling empty, lost, incomplete.

My approach to massage therapy is  tailored to the individual. I use a combination of both Eastern and Western methods and techniques during my treatments. Relaxation and soothing myofascial release techniques and deep tissue/trigger point techniques depending on client needs.

​

I look forward to treating you
