about me
Hello welcome to my website, my name is Kelly Jones and I am an holistic therapist, specialising in massage and reflexology.
I have been receiving reflexology and massage treatments myself as a 'treat' for about 10 years. I have found this not only helps me physically to feel better, but also emotionally it has a very positive effect. This is essentially the idea behind holistic treatments. The word 'holistic' may be relatively new to us, but it is of very ancient origin, meaning to treat the person as a whole. As a holistic therapist I recognise that we are not just physical entities, we are complex individuals with emotions, mental attitudes, different diets, lifestyles, past experiences and relationships and that all of these things contribute to who we are and certainly some of these factors can have an influence on our health and how we feel.
I worked in the financial services sector for 15 years and I have experienced first hand the discomfort of stress and how it can have a negative effect on you both mentally and physically. Again the word stress is a relatively new word but it is a word we are all now familiar with. In small doses and if handled correctly stress can be beneficial for us, however it is estimated that stress contributes to around 75% of diseases today, so there is a real need to help combat the negative effects it can have for us.
I attended the Cotswold Academy for Health and Beauty and in May 2007 I became a qualified massage therapist after gaining a diploma with credit for anatomy and physiology and holistic massage from the International Therapy Examination Council.
I set up my own business in July 2007 and I now work from my home in Stow-on-the-Wold. However, I appreciate that many people feel more comfortable in their own surroundings, so I also provide a mobile service so that people may enjoy a treatment in the comfort of their own home.
In January 2008 I enroled at the Maitri Foundation where I started my reflexology diploma. After a very enjoyable year of study I gained a distinction in my diploma from the Association of Physical and Natural Therapists.
I am commited to learning more about holistic strategies and therapies, specifically treating the body in a natural way.
