Hello
My name is Carly Harkins and I qualified as a Clinical Reflexologist in early 2019. I am a full member of the Association of Reflexologists in the UK after transferring from a professional member of the Reflexology Association of Australia - both are national bodies that established and is maintaining uniformity and high standards of training within the UK and Australia.
My Story
After studying with the Australian School of Reflexology and Relaxation, I found a passion for wellness and specifically hormonal balance.
My family and I moved to Ponteland, Newcastle Upon Tyne in March 2020 where we went straight into lockdown with Covid-19 regulations. Here in the UK, I have taken advantage of the lockdowns to further my knowledge and have studied at Gaia School of Natural Health to complete the Aromareflex certificate and more recently with Ziggie Bergman for Facial Reflexology modules 1 and 2. I have also completed Zone Face Lift and Facial Cupping at the London School of Reflexology. I have am also qualified in Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage with Sally Kay. I am currently studying with Chi Medics which is a fascinating mode of reflexology, incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupressure and energy pathways.
After having two daughters, I discovered through personal experience the benefits of Reflexology and is helping her daughters transition through womanhood as easily as they can. Our youngest daughter also has a neurological condition that affects the MPZ gene. An important one for making myelin sheath therefore reducing the nerve signals to the hands and feet. I am working very hard with Reflexology to enable our daughter to function as best as she can for her lifetime.
I have had success using Reflexology with clients that suffer from migranes and headaches, hypertension, lymphedema, long covid, hypothyroidism, puberty, diabetes and physical and emotional tension.
As a Reflexologist, I do not diagnose illness or dis-ease or prescribe medications. Reflexology is a complementary therapy to be used in conjunction with your GP or medical specialist.
