Reflexology By Paula

Pregnancy can definitely take it out your body and staying active plus pregnancy equals tired muscles! I eventually managed to find Paula for pregnancy massage as there isn’t many massage therapists that carry out this type of massage. Paula was spot on with her technique at locating the muscles that were causing me discomfort, making me comfortable and ensuring relaxation throughout of course! I Couldn’t recommend Paula enough for her professionalism, friendliness and expertise in pregnancy massage. She is definitely one of the best massage therapists I have been to and hope to continue with massage post birth. Thank you Paula for keeping me mobile during pregnancy!

I have been receiving reflexology from Paula for a while now to help with my mental health and wellbeing. It had taken 3-4 treatments to start feeling the positive effects. As time has went on I have noticed a great change in myself. The reflexology has helped with my energy levels and positivitie. I am now off anti depressants and will keep up the reflexology with Paula.

I have been going to Paula for the last couple of years and no-one can sort out my back as well as she can! Using a variety of massage techniques she not only relieves the pain, but makes sure that it doesn't re-occur. She is friendly and sensitive and getting a massage from her is always a pleasure.

I have benefited greatly from Paula Barratt’s wonderful Limbic Reflexology treatments. Having suffered from Fibromyalgia for 20 plus years, I was astounded when the Fibromyalgia tender point pain disappeared during the Limbic Reflexology treatments. I am extremely happy about the effect this treatment has had on my pain and energy levels, leaving me feeling more energised with greatly reduced pain levels. This in turn has given me greater ability to cope with everyday tasks. Having a series of weekly treatments with Paula was extremely effective for impacting on my symptoms. Paula is highly conscientious and detailed, recording my symptoms on a scores chart. It was very encouraging and comforting to see my scores improve each week. During the treatment there was, at times soreness on some of the points. However, the benefit I gained from the treatment, with symptoms reducing and staying reduced, far outweighed any temporary soreness. I was fascinated to discover that the Limbic Reflexology treatments with Paula were also helping me emotionally. They allowed me to be more accepting of myself, with increased confidence and ability to cope in stressful situations. It gave me an increased awareness of my own needs, which can become lost when pain levels are high; it gave me confidence to take control again. Paula is a highly skilled, diligent and caring therapist. Her competence and professionalism allowed me to feel very safe and comforted; the benefits that her treatments have brought for me are multiple. I am extremely thankful.Moreexpand_more

When I made my first appointment for Bowen Therapy with Paula I had been suffering with fibromyalgia for over a year. I struggled to get through each day and my neck pain, exhaustion and nausea seemed like it was never going to get better. I had also just been diagnosed with calcification in my shoulder which caused me extreme pain and I had been referred to a surgeon to have a steroid injection/operation to correct it. I have been receiving weekly Bowen Therapy for the past few months and it really has changed my life. I feel like a new person and have the energy to get through each day feeling and looking well 90% of the time. I have not needed to take any sick time from work in over 3 months having been off sick for at least a week every month for over a year. The calcification in my shoulder has also been cured through Bowen Therapy with no intervention from the hospital. I have started doing yoga and am hopeful that I will be able to start an exercise regime in the coming weeks which is also something I could not have dreamed of doing 6 months ago. Paula is such a kind, caring person and I cannot thank her enough for the difference that she has made to my life.Moreexpand_more

I had a great experience of Bowen technique with Paula, who is very knowledgeable and generous with her knowledge. She carried out a general Bowen session with me. In terms of effectiveness of the work she did - I reported a stiff neck. She did a simple, gentle manipulation and the restriction was gone.

I would recommend meeting Paula to see how she may be able to help you. I have found the Bowen and Massage sessions I have had with her to be very powerful and believe they have made a big difference to my general wellbeing.

I had a Back Massage combined with Indian Head Massage with Paula. Speaking from experience,the treatment was of a high professional standard and in fact, simply wonderful! I felt so relaxed afterwards, and free from all my body aches and stiffness. I would highly recommend her treatments. I attended her classes at the Edinburgh South Bridge Adult Education Centre, where she taught Complimentary Therapies. She is an inspiring lady and makes her classes very enjoyable and interesting.

I did tapping with Paula to help with my fear of the dark. She really helped me and I am not scared any more. I would recommend her to anyone who has any sort of fears she was really good, understanding and she didn't make me feel silly.

Paula provides a very professional, relaxing and calming environment. Her treatments are value for money and well worth while. I would highly recommend La Vie Therapies.

Receiving a treatment from Paula is a truly relaxing experience. She creates a very comfortable, warm, trusting environment that allows me to tune out any worries and stresses of the day. I have had Indian head massage, reflexology and the Bowen technique. As a new mum I have found these extremely beneficial in helping to improve my general well being, as well as being a chance to have some time to myself. I have also completed the 'Introduction to Complementary Therapies' course. This has really opened my eyes to the therapies available and taught me methods of relaxation I can use on myself, friends and even my baby! Having been so impressed with this course I am due to start the full reflexology course in a couple of weeks.

I have had a few treatments from Paula and will definitely be back for more as I found them really helpful. A simple bowen session brought relief to a ankle problem that had bothered me for months. I have also learnt how to use EFT and this has come in very handy. I have attended two of Paulas courses, Indian Head Massage and A Introduction to Complimentary Therapies, I enjoyed these so much I have signed up for Reflexology. The classes and treatments were professionally conducted and I felt totally at ease with Paula I wouldnt hesitate in recommending La Vie Therapies to anyone.

The reflexology and indian head massage I received from Paula was heavenly. I would totally recommend her treatments to everyone. I have attended on various occasions for specific health issues and also for pure relaxation and have been back lots of times since. I was reassured by Paula's professional manner and knowledge and will hopefully continue to enjoy Paula's unique magical touch for many years.

Reflexology from Paula has given me so much relief from pain and discomfort. She is always so kind and attentive. I would recommend her services to anyone who needs some pain relief, stress relief or just some plain other relaxation.

I have had both indian head massages and reflexology and can say they have been brilliant every time. I have recieved treatments during my pregnancy and since and have found it relaxing and also helps reduce my stress levels as I have been going through a difficult time in my professional life. I would highly reccomend La Vie to anyone.

I have had both reflexology and Indian head massage. I have found very great benefit from both. Paula is very flexible about fitting in with times that suit me and I always feel she is giving me absolutely full attention and sometimes more than my alotted time. I have had other reflexology treatmnets in the the past and I would rate Paula as one of the best.

Recently I had Reflexology done by La Vie Therapies and I found it to be really great. I felt so relaxed and was made to feel quite special during my one hour treatment with them! I have also had a one hour's session of a Shoulder, Back and Neck Massage which was so so good! Highly recommend them to anyone as they put a lot of effort into making the client feel better (physically and emotionally). Very good value for money.

Paula's amazing skill and talent leaves me with a feeling of well-being after each session with her. The hour in which she works on you just flies by and you wish it could go on for ever.

A session with Paula is a wonderful relaxing experience leaving me feeling more energetic and stress free. Paula really “hits the spot” and works her magic. As well as a general feeling of well being after a couple of sessions with Paula, reflexology also helped improved a lazy/sluggish bowel. This, combined with Paula’s dietary advice, has certainly made me more “regular” Veronica.
