Student Testimonial

Having suffered from pmt for many years I have tried various prescribed drugs none of which really had any positive effects. On my last visit the doctor suggested I tried Prozac (as she thought I was depressed) which I took for about three months. Although there was some improvement in my mood (obviously!) the other symptoms remained and these, accompanied with some rather disturbing side effects, prompted me to go back to my doctors yet again. The final words from my doctor were "if you don't want to take drugs you will just have to put up with the symptoms." I was a bit miffed by this remark and came out of the doctors wondering what to try next.

A friend at work said she had been having Gentle Touch Reflexology for her condition and she felt that it had helped her. As soon as I could I made an appointment and went along for my treatment. Tracey, the reflexologist, was lovely and very easy to talk to. I felt she really listened to what I was saying. She worked gently through my feet and it felt wonderful! I literally felt like I was floating out of the clinic - walking on air - but not before I had booked another session.

I continued having regular treatments over the next few months which helped to alleviate some of the pmt symptoms I had previously been suffering. During this time I decided that I would like to find out a bit more about how reflexology works so I mentioned this to Tracey. She suggested I look at Sue Rick's website and, hey presto, here I am on the Practitioner Diploma Course studying to become a reflexologist!
