Testimonials

Discovering that I had alopecia areata was a devastating blow for me. I am thirty-five years old, and have always been lucky enough to have strong, thick healthy hair. I went through the conventional avenues to try and cure my problem, but had no luck. I was told by my doctor that it would "probably" grow back, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it, except wait. I felt that I had nowhere left to turn, so when a good friend recommended Isabel Mantle, I was open-minded and thought, why not give it a go. I have always had sensitive feet and although I felt hesitant, at least I was doing something practical.

 

Within a few months of treatment, my hair has started to grow back, my stress levels are lower, my sleeping pattern has improved, and I feel so much better. I am so glad that I found Isabel. She is a fantastic reflexologist, and has very healing hands. I will never stop having reflexology, and firmly believe that it helps me both mentally and physically to strike a balance, giving me a sense of well being. As a busy working mum with two young children, I will always find the time to have treatments from Isabel. She is one of life's natural healers, and I couldn't be without her now, she is my oasis of tranquillity in a chaotic world.

===============================================

 

I first met Isabel whilst working in the retail sector. I had quite a few treatments of reflexology under the company's occupational health
scheme. I have had Asthma for at least 20 years and I can categorically, without a doubt, say that regular treatments of reflexology make my asthma almost non-existent and certainly manageable. Reflexology also gives me a feeling and sense of wellbeing due to the relaxation experienced during my treatment.

===============================================

 

As a teenager and well into my twenties I never had a regular menstrual cycle and suffered with PMT, moodiness and in particular anxiety. I was in a vicious circle; stress affected my hormones, imbalanced hormones affected my moods and therefore my general outlook on things and ability to cope with stress and change.

 

Isabel began treating me with reflexology when I became fed up with what seemed like a hormonal problem.

 

After the second appointment, I noticed my periods began to regulate and my partner noticed a difference in my moods. The stress and anxiety problems have alleviated; my work and life situation have changed and I have absolutely no doubt that the reflexology helped and improved my general mental health & well being.

 

I continue to have regular appointments with Isabel. The treatments leave me feeling so calm and relaxed and play an important part in my general health & well-being. Incidentally, I have, for a long time now, had a four week menstrual cycle, which was helpful when planning my family!

===============================================

 

I first visited Isabel as I suffered from migraines and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, now it's very rare for me to have even so much as a headache, and regular sessions help to keep my IBS under control. Reflexology helps to reduce the bloating and pain associated with IBS, and leaves any remaining discomfort infrequent and managable. Nothing else I've tried has been as effective as reflexology. I really look forward to my visits, as well as keeping me feeling well it's also a wonderful relaxing experience and a good excuse to pamper myself!

Mr T suffered from Schoemans Disease when he was 13 years old, which has resulted in him having lower back pains every now and again. On one occasion when he was having severe back pain, his partner suggested that he should make an appointment to see me. He was given one treatment of reflexology and sent me the following note afterwards.

 

"Dear Isabel - Just a note to thank you very much for making my back so much better so quickly. I have never experienced so much relief so quickly".

 

Mr O T, West Wickham, Kent

 

That was six years ago. Mr T visits me on a regular basis, and although he does have the occasional back pain, he has not experienced a severe back pain since then.
