Reflexology and Acupuncture in Egham and Staines
Welcome to my Wellbeing Clinic!
I am Andrea Tate, a professional reflexologist and acupuncturist based in Staines, Surrey. My relaxing, peaceful home therapy room is within easy reach from Egham, Englefield Green, Thorpe, Virginia Water, Chertsey, Laleham and Ashford.
I practice acupuncture based in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Theory and I offer deeply relaxing facial / hand / foot reflexology treatments.
My experiences
As a reflexologist, during my career of 16 years, I have treated clients presenting with a wide variety of conditions. At the moment my attention is turned mostly to working with patients who are living with cancer. In order to best support them I have attended:
- a specialised 4-day-long Oncology Reflexology course with the Middlesex School of Complementary Medicine,
- Dr. Carol Samuel's workshop for "Pain in Cancer Survivors" and most recently
- Reflexology Lymph Drainage with Sally Kay.
I find that reflexology gently brings on a deep state of relaxation that is so welcome for patients living with life changing conditions. This deep state of relaxation allows the body to do the necessary repair work and elimination on physical level and give a chance to the mind to switch off and ease anxiety, tension and stress. In turn quality of sleep improves, some side effects of treatment and symptoms of the condition, such as constipation, hot flushes, peripheral neuropathy and lymphoedema lessen.
I also have experience of working with the elderly who greatly appreciate the soothing and discomfort relieving beneficial effects of Reflexology.
As an acupuncturist I have been treating a broad range of conditions.
Client Testimonials
"One of the side effects of chemotherapy is neuropathy in my hands and feet. Since having regular reflexology sessions with Andrea, I have noticed a marked improvement. I have had reflexology treatments with other practitioners, but Andrea is outstanding".
"I have monthly treatments with Andrea to keep me re-balanced. Andrea's calm and caring personality pours through and I love the peace and tranquility that hour of quiet 'Me' time, my reflexology treatments with Andrea give me to recharge.
I recently had a bout of sciatica and so had 2 treatments 2 days apart - the day after my 2nd treatment I was free of pain and back to full mobility - brilliant!"
