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 can not speak highly enough about my facial reflexology session today with Andrea! Incredible experience! I have had many facials before non have even come close to today’s experience. I arrived feeling washed out, tired, recovering from flu and feeling pretty low. Andrea is an amazing therapist, felt so relaxed and drifted off into a meditative bliss during the treatment, I left feeling like a huge weight had been lifted, my skin felt amazing and could visibly see the difference after feeling so tired! I got told I was glowing earlier!! Which is kinda a miracle considering how I felt when I arrived! Highly recommended!! Thank you, will be back for sure! X

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 to Andrea twice now for reflexology, first session she found the correct parts on my feet that coincided with my body and all the things I personally need help with ....very clever. Second session I was so relaxed when I got home I slept sooo soundly for nearly 2 hours in the afternoon!!!!!! It's time out for myself in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere.....looking forward to many more sessions and a new me. Thanks Andrea x
