About Simon

My name is Simon James and I am a fully qualified Clinical Reflexologist and teacher based in Newcastle Upon Tyne and serving the local communities of Gateshead, Tyneside, Northumberland and County Durham.

I also run The Tyneside School of Clinical Reflexology.

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.

Services & Therapies

I offer a number of services, These Include:

Clinical Reflexology
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD)
Precision Reflexology
Maternity Reflexology

Benefits of working with me

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.

Specialisms

In addition to Clinical Reflexology, I also have a particular interest in supporting clients who:

  • are receiving treatment for, or recovering from cancer
  • on any stage of their maternity journey
  • are needing additional support due to complex needs such as PMLD or cerebral palsy
Simon's pricing

I charge £50 for each treatment – which lasts about an hour.

    Conditions & Issues Treated

    ​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.

    Simon's Testimonials

    “I found the treatment very relaxing and helped with the swelling in my legs and ankles. Example, recently I went on a long flight which was 10 hours. Normally my legs swell and very painful and I do wear flight socks. However I had 2 appointments before my flight and 2 appointments after. I could feel the difference with less swelling and pain. I can certainly feel the difference by having reflexology treatment. I will now continue to have monthly appointments as I can feel the benefits” (MF –Newcastle )

    “Really good first session with Simon. He checked info from the questionnaire that had been filled in and thoroughly explained how the session would proceed. A very relaxing, professional experience, would definitely recommend! “ (CL – Whickham)

    “Simon is very knowledgeable and works in a relaxing environment. Reflexology was marvellous. I felt sleepy at first, but energised the following day. I slept really well. All in all, a totally wonderful experience and some well deserved ME time! (MC – Whickham)
