About Myself
Welcome to Radiant & Refreshed Holistic Wellbeing and thank you for having a look at my website.
My name is Michelle and I qualified with the Anahata School of Reflexology in Lincoln gaining a level 5 Diploma in 2020. At the same time I gained my master Reiki practitioner certificate with Valerie Hopper in Louth.
Since, then I have significantly enhanced my learning and experience of both reflexology and energy healing. I became interested in therapies and healing when I was working with adults with sensory impairment.
I was inspired to learn more and I went on to achieve qualifications in Level 3 Swedish massage and level 3 reflexology. This ignited a passion in me to help people and share what I had learnt. I did my teaching qualification in further education and I qualified as a special needs yoga trainer and Relax kids coach.
I developed my healing through the Reiki levels to master level and this progressed into learning Ascension Energy healing using various healing modalities.
I am now qualified in and use a variety of reflexology and energy healing techniques which I am excited to share with you. I can provide a tailor-made treatment experience leaving you radiant and feeling refreshed.
Treatments
Reflexology
Reflexology can induce a deep state of relaxation, which improves the effectiveness of the treatment. Relaxing helps relieve tension and aids circulation, increasing the flow of nutrients, oxygen and energy to all parts of the body, and helping with the removal of toxins.
Reflexology is a wonderful way of maintaining your body’s healthy balance and general wellbeing, reducing the stresses and tensions that come with busy lifestyles and giving us a space to reflect on the mind as well as the body.
Reflexology is used to help restore balance in the body, promote relaxation in both the mind and body, help improve sleep, reduce stress and tension, enhance mood, help balance hormones, reduce water retention, menstrual pain and improve circulation, and general well-being.
Reflexology can be done on different areas of the body including the feet, hands, face and ears.
Reflexology Lymphatic drainage (RLD)
Reflexology lymphatic drainage is an award-winning reflexology sequence which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. It was developed by reflexologist and researcher Sally Kay, whilst working in cancer care.
RLD uses the principles of MLD manual lymphatic drainage and SLD Simple lymphatic drainage exercises applies this to the feet. RLD aim to cause an effect on the lymphatic system.

Auricular (Ear) Reflexology
Auricular reflexology is also known as ear reflexology and auricular therapy. The ears have been important for thousands of years and originally stems from ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture. The ears are sensitive and are full of nerve endings making them an effective area to treat in reflexology.
Why work the ears?: It is safe, simple, quick and effective treatment that has profound relaxing effects on the body. It can be done as a treatment on its own or synergistically with the foot, hand or face reflexology. It also nicely complements a head or face massage. Thanks to Nozier in the 1950s and mapping of reflex points each ear is an entire map of the body and reflex points are stimulated as they are in foot reflexology. In ear reflexology there are also additional points included, for example emotional balancing points and points for addiction and allergies. Additional to working the ear, post treatments earseeds can be placed on reflexes with self-care guidance to enhance the healing between treatments.

Facial Acupressure Therapy
Facial Acupressure Therapy is a lovely relaxing and luxurious treatment that works the unique structure of the face, using acupressure points to release tension and stress, relaxing the nervous system and promoting rejuvenation of the face. The treatment incorporates a combination of massage and Chinese acupressure facial mapping to the head, face, neck and shoulders to help benefit the whole of the body. The method I use has been developed by Heidi Armstrong at the Complementary Therapy College, Bath. It can be used as a stand alone treatment or incorporated with ear or foot reflexology.
What happens?: After a full consultation and understanding of your skin type, you will receive a relaxing scalp, neck and shoulder massage to help you relax and unwind your mind and body. Following this a facial cleanser is applied to the face and a warm towel is placed on the face to add that feeling of sheer luxury as you lie back and relax. Then a warm facial oil is applied to the face and neck to help nourish and boost the skin, helping it feel light and refreshed. The treatment is extremely relaxing, as you experience a gentle massage and light finger pressure to help release acupressure points in the face, head, neck and shoulders. To release any further tension in the muscles of the face and head, the fascia of the face is gently worked and to complete the treatment light pressure is used to help drain and stimulate the lymphatic system. This will help you feel and look revitalised. It is a very safe treatment and good for those with chronic conditions.

- Stimulating acupressure points and reflexes benefits the whole body.

Rahanni Celestial healing was founded by Carol Anne Stacey.

It works by balancing the masculine and feminine aspects of ourselves (yin and yang). Similar to Reiki you relax in a warm, safe and cosy space.

Pellowah
Pellowah is a hands off energy healing technique channelled to Kachina Ma’an in 2003. The word Pellowah means ‘Radical shift in consciousness’. It works on a mind and spirit connection rather than a physical body connection. Pellowah works with the person’s own consciousness, therefore every session and experience is individual for that person. The session may feel activating or relaxing as it generates new and expanded perspectives and pathways. Therefore as a result it increases the capacity for positive change to occur. As old blocks are removed and realigned, you may become aware of a shift in the mind perspective. Pellowah meets the individual where they are at and brings about whatever shifts are needed at that time.
What happens?: Similar to other therapies you are made comfy and warm but the difference is there is no other sensory input such as sound or scent. The practitioner will offer an eye mask and or ear plugs to completely help you merge into the Pellowah energy experience and relax and receive. The practitioner invites the energy in and holds the space for the Pellowah energy to flow but does not receive information themselves to feedback to the client.
Benefits:
- Helps calm old emotions, fears and doubts
- May feel a lightness and wellbeing, as old blocks are removed and realigned
- Creates feelings of inner peace and clarity of the mind
- The energy benefits continues to work after the session
