I recently visited Lesley for a course of hands free massage and some reflexology. She immediately put me into a relaxed state with her welcome, and the lovely gentle relaxing atmosphere in her treatment room. The hands free massage was amazing..my first time experiencing that type of massage, deep and yet not painful. I felt a tremendous relief of tension in my upper back and shoulders..which is my problem area. I would highly recommend it. I was also going through a period of feeling exhausted all the time, so we embarked on a course of reflexology. The effect was immediate. I felt "lifted" as soon as treatment was over,although it took a few more before the feeling was permanent. I believe that these therapies have a far more immediate effect than any pill and no side effects! And any time I need some 'me' time..I will be calling Lesley! W. Harrogate I have been diagnosed with acute sciatica by my doctors, I have followed the prescribed medical treatment including strong medication which meant the pain was masked but not cured. I had temporarily lost some of the feeling in my left leg and foot which meant mobility and even sitting was very difficult. I had heard about reflexology and in particular Lesley's approach to this alternative treatment, and embarked on a course of treatments with Lesley. I have found that reflexology is not only relaxing and therapeutic but as Lesley concentrates on the areas that are affected by my sciatica it has helped to bring back some of the lost feelings. Each week's treatment is helping my recovery immensely both physically and mentally. Lesley has and continues to provide me with physical and spiritual support offering advice with how to cope with this temporary ailment, through experience and knowledge and has certainly helped me on the road to recovery. I would whole heartedly recommend reflexology and in particular Lesley's approach to reflexology and no hands massage treatments to anyone whether it is to treat injuries or just for relaxation. R.W. Tadcaster Lesley is confident in her work, has a professional manner and an excellent treatment room. She is a good listener and when visiting her for a low back problem I was able to share with her other emotional problems which as a result she was able to support through her massage and reflexology. I have recommended her treatments to family and friends and am delighted to say they have also made repeat appointments for various ailments. I have no hesitation in recommending her skills as a therapist to others. I hope you enjoy her treatments. J.S. from near York The treatments I had from Lesley, both reflexology and massage, brought me immense relief from the intense pain of a frozen shoulder and were the start of my healing process. As a therapist, Lesley has a genuine commitment to her client's wellbeing. Her intrinsic ability to empathise with her client's needs makes you feel supported, confident in her ability to bring healing, and all of this delivered in a professional, considerate and caring manner. W. D. Blairgowrie I am delighted to give the following testimonial for Lesley Rhodes. Lesley asked me to be one of her case studies while undertaking her massage course some years ago. I had never had a massage in my life, or ever felt the need for one, but I was delighted to help out, thinking I was doing her the favour - how wrong I was! That first occasion, I arrived at Lesley's home a bit harassed and stressed since I was in the middle of major alterations to my home and since this had been ongoing for some time, it was becoming more and more difficult to cope with the mess and the constant presence of builders. Lesley took my medical history in a professional and efficient manner, then explained what she was going to do, after which I was asked to get on the couch. The room was predominantly in pale lilac and white which, with the lovely soothing music, gave the impression of calm and peace. At the conclusion of my first treatment, it was as if all my tensions and worries had disappeared and I relaxed for the first time in months. My feeling of well-being was indescribable and I do recall feeling a bit tired and in fact I think I did "dose off" for a short time. On arriving home I felt relaxed and well. I have been fortunate enough to have further treatments and was also introduced to reflexology, which too I felt was beneficial. I know Lesley does attend the local hospice on a voluntary basis and has experience of treating people who are very ill, with both life-threatening and chronic illnesses, but whatever your condition I would certainly advocate a "taster" and I am sure you will be back for more.
