My name is Simon James and I am a fully qualified Clinical Reflexologist based on Tyneside in the UK. 

My Mission

My mission is to provide Clinical Reflexology treatments to the highest of professional standards which leave my clients feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated.

My Story

In 2005 I was diagnosed with Stage 3 bowel cancer. (Following extensive surgery and chemotherapy, I'm glad to say that I'm still clear!) 

I began reflexology treatments as part of my recovery and became convinced of the effectiveness of this amazing therapy.

So - after nearly 20 years of learning to appreciate the personal benefits of reflexology from experienced Western and Eastern practitioners from the UK and Hong Kong, I decided to train as a reflexologist myself.

I studied for a Practitioner Diploma in Clinical Reflexology at the prestigious Complementary Therapy School in Edinburgh and in December 2022 I graduated with a Distinction.

I am a Member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (MFHT), The Association of Reflexologists (MAR) and of  Professional Reflexology (PRM).  I am also on the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council Register (CNHCReg).  

Through the Association of Reflexologists I am listed in the NHS Listing directory which is the official NHS England directory of therapists used by the public and healthcare professionals to identify high quality professional practitioners. Check my listing here.

I have full professional indemnity cover and am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) so you know your data is protected.. 
















​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​Reflexology is a complementary therapy based on the belief that there are reflex areas in the
feet and hands which are believed to correspond to all organs and parts of the body. Some
practitioners may also include work on points found in the face and ears. Reflexology works on
an individual basis and may alleviate and improve symptoms such as everyday stress and
tension.

During a typical reflexology session the reflexologist will take a detailed medical history.
Sessions are usually performed in a comfortable chair or couch. If it is to be performed on the
feet, the client will be asked to remove footwear and socks but other forms of reflexology require
no removal of clothing. The practitioner will make a visual and tactile examination of the area to
be worked before beginning the precise reflexology massage movements. The particular types
of movements involved require the application of an appropriate pressure using the thumb and
fingers.

Reflexology can be a wonderfully relaxing experience where you can take time out from
everyday pressures. The therapist’s expert touch will help you relax which can help improve
mood, aid sleep and relieve tension. The result is an overall sense of wellbeing.

It is important to choose a qualified reflexologist who has undertaken all the necessary training
to understand the theory and practice of reflexology.

You can check whether a reflexologist is registered with the Complementary & Natural
Healthcare Council 
(CNHC) by searching the register at www.cnhc.org.uk. By choosing
reflexologists who are registered with the CNHC you can be confident that they are properly
trained, qualified and insured.

I am registered with the CNHC (No: CNHC07901)
