Andrea is a professional and experienced clinical reflexologist, trained by Allison Walker of the Contemporary Reflexology College. Allison is a Fellow member of Association of Reflexologists and former director of the Institute of Reflexology. Andrea is a level 5 qualified clinical reflexologist which is currently the highest qualification for reflexologists in the UK.
Having spent 30 years within the NHS as a nurse & Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Andrea has experienced first-hand the physical & emotional effects that long term stress can have on the body. Looking for a holistic approach to wellness ,Andrea began researching complementary therapies and embarked upon a journey that is now known as Barefoot Soul.
Andrea said, “I have a strong belief in conventional medicine as this is where I began my career back in the 80’s. However, there is so much more to health than simply the absence of disease, and I believe in treating the whole person, embracing the emotional and spiritual aspects of health as well as the physical.”
“I am fully committed to supporting your journey to wellness through my unique knowledge and experience of both conventional & complementary medicine.”

I had my very first foot reflexology treatment last Tuesday with Andrea. I was a little anxious as i’m not sure if i’d like my feet being touched for an hour but Andrea made me feel at ease with her friendly and calming attitude. She explained the treatment and is obviously very knowledgeable about her craft. The place was clean and tranquil, the bed was so comfy, the whole process was just divine. I felt so relaxed after the treatment. Will surely try the facial reflexology next time.

This was my first facial reflexology ever so didn’t really know what to expect. I chose to have this treatment purely to start my annual leave from work in a nice relaxed way and to treat myself; I wasn’t disappointed. I felt so relaxed afterwards and had the best nights sleep in ages and woke this morning with my face still glowing. I will definitely be back.

I’ve been having reflexology with Andrea for a hormonal imbalance. I’m thrilled to say after a couple of months I’m seeing a real difference (having tried various other things!) The reflexology itself is a thoroughly relaxing experience and I can certainly see the benefit of this for stress! Andrea is so friendly and welcoming; she has a lovely calming, relaxing demeanour.
Her extensive and detailed knowledge is obvious and no doubt reinforced by her many years of high level training in nursing. I would highly recommend!
