With nearly forty years of caring for people, Julie Taylor brings warmth, experience and a genuinely person-centred approach to every reflexology treatment.
Before becoming a full-time Clinical Reflexologist, Julie spent almost forty years as an NHS nurse, working as a District Nursing Sister across community nursing, public health, Continuing Healthcare, complex discharge and end of life care. This experience continues to shape the compassionate and thoughtful approach she brings to her practice today.
Julie is a Clinical Reflexologist trained to Level 5 Professional Reflexology, widely recognised as the highest practitioner qualification in the UK. She welcomes clients to her purpose-built garden treatment room in Stockport, designed to provide a calm, welcoming space away from the demands of everyday life.
Julie’s approach is not one size fits all. Through Adaptive Integrated Reflexology (AIR), she adapts pressure, techniques and treatment style to suit the individual, their comfort and their preferences.
She is also a registered Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) practitioner, trained in the Sally Kay method. This specialised reflexology technique focuses on the lymphatic reflexes of the feet and is often chosen by people experiencing swelling, including lymphoedema, or where appropriate following medical treatment.
Every appointment begins with time to talk to understand what has brought someone to reflexology. Julie combines her healthcare experience with specialist reflexology training to create a supportive environment where people feel listened to and cared for.
Many clients describe their treatments as deeply relaxing, often recognising that this is a feeling they have been missing for some time. For Julie, reflexology is about far more than working on the feet. It is about creating the space to pause, breathe and reconnect in a world that rarely slows down.
Ear seed application
Julie also offers ear seed applications.
Ear seeds are tiny beads placed on specific points of the outer ear using discreet adhesive plasters. Based on the principles of auricular therapy, they provide gentle stimulation and can be a simple addition to your self-care routine between reflexology sessions.
Many people use ear seeds as a reminder to pause during the day and take a moment for themselves. Julie is happy to explain how they work and discuss whether they may be a useful addition to your own wellbeing routine.
Reflexology self-care cards
Julie also shares reflexology self-care cards for visitors to take away.
These simple guides offer an introduction to reflexology and provide gentle techniques that can be incorporated into your own wellbeing routine. They are designed as a reminder to take a few moments for yourself, slow down and reconnect, even amidst the demands of everyday life.
