For many years before I became a practitioner in Complementary Medicine, I had tried various different treatments. It was Reflexology that I found the most beneficial and fascinating.  It was by chance that I read a prospectus for college courses and was drawn to a two year course on Complementary Therapies for which I enrolled without delay.

That was ten years ago, finally qualifying in Reflexology and Aromatherapy in 2000 in the following years Indian Head Massage, Hopi Ear Candles and Reiki and most recently qualifying as a Foot Health Practitioner in July 2008.

My practice is based at my home in Castley, a small hamlet located between Harrogate and Otley, close to the villages of Huby and Pool in Wharfedale. I live there on a farm with my husband Ian and offspring Richard and Helen. Ian and Richard run the family farm which is dairy and beef predominately. We also have two Jacob sheep and a flock of hens which reside in the orchard. The latter causes great amusement for my clients and also nourishment as quite often a dozen eggs accompanies them on the journey home! My daughter Helen is a Montessori teacher as well as running a photography and face painting business. As you can see we are a busy family but the farm offers a lovely setting to work in. Here I can offer peace an tranquility, not always something you can be assured on the high street.

I hope you will agree from seeing the photographs of my treatment room that you are assured a very professional treatment environment. There is a great deal of attention to detail to ensure your treatment time is both caring, healing and rewarding. I have worked hard to create a room that accommodates both the clinical aspect required for the foot health treatment but still allows space for the relaxing therapies. The treatment couch for these is heated for extra comfort and often makes it difficult for clients to leave!!

Because of the location of my practice it is very accessible with the added benefit of easy parking.

I look forward to meeting you soon. Gillian Lishman
