The lotus flower was specially chosen to reflect the ethos of Sole Touch, due to its rich symbolism. Often growing in murky ponds, the lotus flower nevertheless always emerges clean and pure – something exquisite in otherwise gloomy surroundings.

Everyone has beauty within them but the stresses of modern-day life often suppress our understanding of this and we get buried under our emotions and ailments. When we engage in complementary therapies such as reflexology however, we can transition – like the lotus flower – into something pure and untainted.

Reflexology relaxes the mind and body, letting them reconnect as one. It allows us to emerge from our own ‘muddy waters’, feeling refreshed and invigorated and able to see ourselves properly for perhaps the very first time.

My training, work experience and any achievement
