About Me
Meet Helen - Reflexologist in Wellington, Telford
Hello, I’m Helen, the person behind Solely You Reflexology. I created Solely You to offer a calm, welcoming space where you can step away from everyday life, slow down, and enjoy some much-needed time for yourself.
My approach is personal. No two people are the same, so I take time to understand you and tailor each treatment to your needs.
I qualified as a reflexologist in 2018 after completing extensive training in the Original Ingham Method through the International Institute of Reflexology. Since then, I've continued to develop my knowledge and skills through specialist training, allowing me to offer a wide range of treatments tailored to the individual.
Discovering Reflexology
Before 2017, I'd never even heard of reflexology. I first discovered it while on a Buddhist retreat, where an International Institute of Reflexology trained reflexologist offered me a free taster treatment. I was fascinated by the experience and even more surprised by how I felt afterwards. The following day, I felt more relaxed, grounded, and more connected emotionally and mentally. I also noticed that some digestive discomfort I'd been experiencing had settled. That experience sparked my curiosity. I asked where she had trained, and it ultimately set me on the path to becoming a reflexologist myself.
So why me?
I trained in the Original Ingham Method® through the International Institute of Reflexology (IIR), completing an intensive year-long programme that included more than 100 case-study treatments, written examinations in reflexology and anatomy & physiology, and a practical examination. This thorough training gave me a strong foundation in traditional reflexology and continues to influence the way I practise today.
Since qualifying, I’ve continued to invest in my professional development, completing specialist training across a wide range of reflexology techniques. This allows me to draw on different approaches and personalise each treatment to the individual, rather than offering exactly the same treatment to everyone.
I’m a full member of the Association of Reflexologists (AoR), which means I follow their Code of Practice and Ethics and undertake ongoing Continuing Professional Development. I’m also fully insured, giving you the reassurance that your treatments are provided to recognised professional standards.
