FAQS

What to expect?

Before Your First Session

I'll send you a pre-assessment form by email to complete in your own time, or we can go through it together when we meet - whatever feels more comfortable. This covers your medical history and helps me check if a session is right for you at this time. Occasionally, it's best to postpone treatments due to contraindications or to gain consent from a medical professional before commencing treatment. Please feel free to contact me elly@naturalharmonyhealing.co.uk, if you'd like support or more information before booking. Don't worry - this is rare and I'll guide you through the process if needed. Your wellbeing is my top priority and pre-assessment can avoid any disappointment about postponing a session. It also gives you an opportunity to share anything I can do to make the session a comfortable and safe space for healing.

Your First Session (90 minutes total)

We'll start with a 30-minute consultation where we'll discuss your health goals, what you'd like to focus on, and I'll explain how I can support you. This can be done in person, by phone, or video chat. Whatever feels most comfortable for you.

For phone and video chat, we can schedule a time before your first treatment and meet for our in-person session another day. This flexibility can be helpful if you have limited time for in-person sessions or prefer to connect virtually before meeting face-to-face. Please contact me to arrange phone or video consultations. Or I will look forward to meeting you in person.

Follow-up Sessions

Each session begins with a brief check-in (10-15 minutes) to see how you're feeling and identify the focus area for that day.

**Please note: This practice supports nervous system regulation and wellbeing through reflexology and holistic healing. It is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. If you're experiencing severe trauma symptoms, please consult with a qualified mental health professional.**

What to wear?

It’s very important to me that you feel safe and comfortable so please do discuss any concerns with me.

For reflexology loose comfortable trousers that can easily be turned up to the knee are perfect.

Shamanic healing come as you feel comfortable, you'll be fully clothed and covered with a light throw or uncovered while laying on the treatment couch. Loose comfotable clothing is ideal.

Combination treatments can be any of the above depending on your desired outcome. If there are massage elements you may be asked to remove some clothing or underwear and will be covered with a throw with only the area being massaged being uncovered then re-covered as the treatment proceeds.

How do I find you and when are you available?

I work from a treatment room at home in Bradford on avon. Contact me elly@naturalharmonyhealing.co.uk for details. The house is on the Bath side of Bradford on avon making it easy to reach from Bath and Bristol.

There is free parking available on our street. I'm also a 20-minute walk from Bradford on Avon train station, though please note it's a steep uphill walk that may be challenging for those with mobility or fatigue issues. Alternatively, I'm a short, mostly flat 5-minute walk from the D1 bus stop.

My main practice days are currently Tuesday and Thursday. Please feel free to contact me at elly@naturalharmonyhealing.co.uk if an alternative date or time would work better for you - I'll do my best to accommodate wherever possible.

Aftercare

Where possible, it is helpful for you to have some quiet time after your session and ensure you drink plenty of water. With some conditions, people will experience responses as their body processes the treatment. This could be increased sensation in the area of discomfort as muscle and tissues adapt or increased urination if the circulation of the lymphatic system has been supported. Sometimes people can feel exhausted after a treatment as the nervous system and stress responses adjust. This should ease within 24 hours but do feel free to get in contact with me to discuss how you are feeling and I may make further suggestions to support you.
