Rachel Boyden, Reflexologist
NVQ Level 3 in Reflexology, full membership of the Association of Reflexologists
Before becoming a reflexologist, Rachel was a primary school teacher for over ten years. She first discovered reflexology as a client. She was having treatments to ease a number of stress-related symptoms she experienced while teaching, including digestive issues and poor sleep. She couldn't believe how much reflexology helped her, and she wanted to share this wonderful therapy with others. So, in 2017, she made a big career change and began her Reflexology Diploma training. She has always been interested in holistic therapies, but for her, reflexology is the most fascinating and the most relaxing.
Rachel qualified with an NVQ Level 3 in Reflexology in July 2018. She trained at Calming Influences School of Holistic Therapies in Southampton, led by Dr Jackie James. The course is fully accredited by the Association of Reflexologists, of which she is a full member. This means she is bound by their code of practice and committed to continued training and development.
