As a lupus sufferer (an auto-immune disorder), my ailments aside from malfunctioning organs which are the mainstay of this disease are many including arthritis, chronic fatigue, depression, acid reflex, digestion difficulties, dry eyes, mouth and skin, sleep disturbances, rashes and skin ailments, sun and heat allergies as well as a myriad of other niggling disorders that won’t kill me but make life extremely difficult. Whilst some individual ailments can be specifically treated, Lupus itself has no cure as there is no treatment for an immune system that targets an individual’s organs.

Reflexology was suggested to me by my Lupus specialist who found that many of his patients has benefited from this form of treatment. A good friend recommended Nafisa as a truly talented and gifted healer. I gave her a call and I have been having reflexology treatments from her for 2 years. Nafisa has not only transformed my mobility and general well being but she has also given me the most important thing of all……. hope.

After spending 3 years only between bed and sofa and not having a life, since beginning treatments, I am now mobile, have returned to work, part time and am able to enjoy a social life once again. My husband has been so impressed by my progress that he too has a weekly treatment just to maintain his general well being.

When I had just had my baby, Nafisa was an essential part of helping me feel better and well in myself again. 9 months on I still won’t see anyone else but Nafisa! She is a highly professional and skilled therapist with extensive knowledge of massage techniques. She has even helped relieve my carpal tunnel pain. Having paid a lot more for less elsewhere, I can vouch for the value for money and the excellent service that I know I wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere.

Taken from her email after the birth: ….. In labour on Wednesday after our session!!

“I had my little girl on Saturday, her name is Daphne and she is gorgeous!  Thank you so much for all your help, I really think that reflexology helped me relax and prepare (and probably my uterus as well as contractions started on my due date!) Take good care and thanks again!”

” I was recommended by my osteopath to have regular massage to help ease muscle tightness and knots. I have been having massage for a number of weeks now with Nafisa and it’s been really helpful. The pressure is just right to be both relaxing and pleasant experience whilst working on deep tissue. The technique is lovely and just right to ensure I feel completely relaxed which other massage therapists have not managed to achieve quite the same.”

‘ Nafisa’s baby massage classes are both fun for baby as well as us Mums. Nafisa week by week teaches us the skills to massage our babies with confidence. Whether our babies are suffering with teething, an upset or windy tummy or cold and congestion Nafisa has some great massage techniques to help deal with these. Weekly written and illustrated guides for all the massage taught, are great to use at home for reference and reassurance’.

Nafisa’s teaching style is warm, gentle and encouraging and she has the innate ability to read the mood of the room, making babies and mummies feel completely relaxed and confident. The full massage routine was built up over the course, recapping the previous weeks, and was easily remembered due to the pairing with familiar nursery rhymes. She makes the course fun and encourages mummies to ask questions, share experiences, laugh and bond in those early days of motherhood. The group of women I met on the course still meet for a weekly coffee! The reminder sheets given each week have helped me to teach the techniques to my partner and Morgan’s nightly bath time massage has become regular Daddy bonding time, which is the highlight of the day.

“I highly recommend a treatment with Nafisa, her massages are excellent and have really helped with my back problems. I always leave feeling de-stressed and relaxed. Nafisa’s garden room is very peaceful and tranquil, the perfect place to unwind.”

“I had a number of massages with Nafisa. She creates a warm professional environment where I felt relaxed and in competent hands. She is focused on the work she does and has an extensive knowledge of her field.  Highly recommended. Thank you Nafisa. ”

Nafisa has an amazing hands. Just one massage session with Nafisa brought me into a complete state of relaxation and mindfulness. Would highly recommend her.

I can recommend Nafisa if you are looking for a good Reflexologist. She really “tunes in” with the patient.

Thank you so much,  Nafisa!

Thank you Nafisa.

The kids are still in blissful awe of their treatment.

‘Nafisa is a miracle worker. I have just completed the marathon and do lots of running. Today she managed to unravel my tight muscles and I can now move more freely and without as much pain. It was the most relaxing hour, despite her having to work pretty hard on my back and legs and I would thoroughly recommend her should you have any post-run muscle soreness and need a good deep tissue massage.’

‘@Nafisatherapy Still feeling relaxed after my brilliant massage today.Tiny lady with powerful hands exactly what the doctor ordered thank u.’
