Welcome!
Hello, my name is Charly Rodrigo & I am a Level 5 Reflexologist offering foot, hand and facial Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Indian head Massage & Reiki. I work from my peaceful therapy room at home in Handbridge, Chester.
I am a full member of the 'Association of Reflexologists' and have my profile on their website. I am also fully insured.
As a Level 5 Reflexologist I was required to do a fully comprehensive 'Reflexology Mastership' course, over a minimum of 1 year, with over 120 hours of hands-on client case-study practise, & full assessment in many areas including Anatomy & Physiology. In comparison, a practising Level 3 Reflexologist may have only done a short course, taught over 2 weeks, with minimal hands-on practise.
A little bit about me...
I really do love my work sharing these lovely therapies with others & seeing the benefits that they gain from them. I grew up in Chester & then moved to London in my early twenties after a year travelling; this was when I first became interested in natural health & complementary therapies. I had a history of ill health & really wanted to try to see if I could improve my condition through natural health. It was during this time that I tried a whole range of complementary therapies & really noticed the improvements. I started out interested in Kinesiology & Bio Resonance & did a short course in the former. I had also started a Nutrition course, but was unable to complete it due to ill health. However, from my early 30's I became a bit of a complementary therapy 'junkie' & vowed one day that I would train to be a Complementary Therapist when the time was right. After the birth of my twins & making the decision to return to Chester I began studying Reflexology - it was a year's course & I felt it was manageable with the twins being so young. I hadn't really tried Reflexology thoroughly enough to know it was right for me, but I had a big interest in Chinese Medicine & knew the connections to Reflexology, so I thought I'd give it a go. During the course I got to receive countless reflexology treatments & was blown away with how relaxing it was & how balanced I felt after a treatment. The rest is history.....I just kept going & learning more & more & now I feel I have a wealth of personal & professional experience under my belt. As a result everyone I treat receives a personalised treatment in accordance with their physical & emotional needs.
My interest & qualifications
Reflexology is an amazing therapy in its own right, however I love to weave in reiki & visualisation work to encourage a deeper level of experience. Pairing reflexology with Indian Head massage also gives a thoroughly relaxing treatment from head to toe. Whatever you choose to receive, I can guarantee that you will leave feeling totally relaxed, balanced & that your body will begin to hone in to its amazing potential for self healing. I am so happy to support you on your 'sole journey' to happiness & wellbeing.
