Hello!
Welcome to the BiG TOE reflexology
Reflexology can help stress melt away
You'll feel your shoulders loosen
Your mind will quiet
A deep sense of calm washes over you
The most wonderful hour! Kathryn is super knowledgeable and really puts you at ease. It was just so relaxing, I felt like I was floating at times. She sent me a follow up email with some really helpful tips. I’d highly recommend! My husband is also a big fan!

the BiG TOE story
the BiG TOE philosophy
Hello! My name is Kathryn and I make sure all my reflexology sessions are designed uniquely for you. I make sure you have a comfortable and supportive space where you can feel completely at ease. Each session offers a powerful combination of relaxation and restoration, promoting your overall physical and emotional wellbeing. Your body has its own natural healing potential and reflexology can help unlock this one foot at a time.
I am a member of Association of Reflexologists
I am a registered Association of Reflexologists therapist based in Tunbridge Wells having completed my year long reflexology training in 2003.
The Association of Reflexologists (AoR) is committed to the highest possible standards of professional conduct and I work to their Code of Practice and Ethics.
Men's health
Reflexology is a wonderful, relaxing non-invasive treatment for men of all ages whether you are looking to de-stress, relieve tension, improve sleep, reduce anxiety, boost mood or help with some pain relief.
"We arranged a Wednesday reflexology session with Kathryn, who's remarkably attentive and accommodating. Session was enjoyed by me and my wife and the experience left us feeling relaxed, refreshed, and energised. Highly recommended for midweek rejuvenation." Don Tudara
Women's health specialist
My passion is women’s health and helping women address their wellness holistically. Balancing hormones through reflexology is my super power for regulating cycles, fertility, pregnancy and the menopause. I believe women should feel in control of their health and wellbeing and I work to help you thrive and not just survive during these physical and emotional changes.
Kathryn at Big Toe is fantastic, I came out feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Recommended!

Reflexology helps you relax, recharge & restore
What happens during your reflexology session?
Your reflexology will be tailored to you, taking into account any physical and non-physical factors that could be affecting your current health & wellbeing.
The most important part is that it's really relaxing.
Introduction
Once we've confirmed your foot reflexology session, I will email you a health questionnaire to fill in. When you're with me you'll sit on my sofa, take off your shoes and socks, give your feet a warm soak and feel incredibly relaxed even before the reflexology bit! We'll chat through the questionnaire and I will gain a thorough understanding of you and what you're hoping to achieve from your foot reflexology session.
Reflexology
You'll then move across to the reflexology bed. Depending on the temperature and how cosy you like to be I will cover you with a blanket. You'll be lying back with your feet resting on a special reflexology footrest. I will put cool reflexology balm on each foot before massaging the reflex points on the right foot and then the reflex points on the left foot, all the while concentrating on any areas we may have discussed. The reflexology treats the body as a whole so I will work all the reflex points on the feet and then go back to concentrate on particular reflexes that I believe will benefit you. You are more than welcome to fall asleep, talk to me or just simply be.
Findings
At the end of the treatment I will give you a glass of water. The key to a successful reflexology session is drinking plenty of water afterwards to help flush out the toxins. We will have a chat about anything I found of interest or if you felt anything particular. Don't worry, there is never any pain or ticklishness. Whether you feel something or nothing, foot reflexology will leave you relaxed, calmed and soothed.

Benefits of reflexology
The benefits of reflexology can include:

What does your BiG TOE say about you?
Having read Jane Sheehan's book Let's Read Our Feet! I've learnt that if you have a very big, big toe, this means you're fantastic at brainstorming, coming up with new ideas and thinking outside the box. If you're looking for a problem solver, find someone with a big toe!
However, if you have a small big toe, you're a great multi-tasker juggling lots of things at once and never loosing your way. If you've got a lot to do with not much time, a small big toe will help you achieve the impossible.
Please book a BiG TOE foot reflexology session to find out more!
Wellbeing
We're BiG about wellbeing
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
World Health Organisation, 1948
Foot reflexology is great for improving your wellbeing. A balanced lifestyle of eating healthily, exercising regularly and thinking positively are all ways to help improve your general wellbeing and help you feel great!
Eating well
A balanced diet should be varied and contain sufficient carbohydrates for energy, and fat and protein for growth and tissue repair. We need lots of water to transport essential nutrients and eliminate toxins from our bodies. If the toxins build up you could experience tenderness, swelling and pain in your joints.
We are what we eat
There is a fundamental relationship between between the food we eat and the efficiency of our cell function. If we eat well, the cells will keep our bodies at optimal working order. If our diet is poor, our cells will be unable to maintain themselves, the organs and tissues of our bodies become impaired and our health suffers. During our reflexology session we'll chat about your diet and see if any changes can be made to benefit you.
Moving well
Just 20 minutes a day of gentle or moderate exercise helps you to breathe more deeply, improves your stamina and keeps your muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons strong. It can also help your mood, your sleep and relieve tension. The endorphins released through exercise not only help you feel better, they have been proved to help you think better too. Royal Tunbridge Wells is surrounded by beautiful countryside for walking, running and playing in. Enjoy!
Thinking well
How you look at life and your attitude towards yourself could all affect your health and wellbeing. Researchers are continually exploring the effects of positive thinking and studies have revealed that a ‘glass half-full’ person could have: increased life span, lower rates of depression, lower levels of stress and better psychological and physical wellbeing. Before you experience your foot reflexology we'll have a chat about you and bring lots of positive thinking into the session.
