About Me
My name is Aniko, I'm a fully qualified massage therapist specialising in Reflexology, Reiki, and Swedish massage.
My journey and belief in the healing power of complementary treatments began over 35 years ago when I was suffering from a chronic illness . Reflexology not only healed me but also helped me understand how mental and emotional problems can affect our physical health.
Listening to people's life stories as a therapist several years ago, and as an interpreter over the past decade - whether in a mental health setting, in a hospital or doctors surgery - I often wondered if their presenting issues, physical symptoms were linked to or in fact were the direct result of their unresolved emotional problems, or the prolonged stress, or trauma they had experienced? Because we are so good at burying it all - it's our unconscious survival mechanism. But the body doesn't forget, it 'keeps the score' and our conscious mind is often unable to access, unable to communicate and unable to process it.
Holistic therapies however have the potential to help the body relieve stress, release emotional blockages, boost the body’s immune system, and therefore support and strengthen the body's natural ability to heal itself.
