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.
I offer a number of services, These Include:
Clinical Reflexology
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD)
Precision Reflexology
Maternity Reflexology
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.
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
I charge £50 for each treatment – which lasts about an hour.
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.
