Beverley Hirst
Background
Beginning in 1991 with Reflexology, I continued to develop my skills as a complementary therapist and further qualified in the Bowen Technique, Metamorphic Technique, Swedish Massage and as a Reiki Master. My qualifications include the International Institute of Health & Holistic Therapies, The Fylde School of Natural Therapies and the South African Academy of Reflexology. I have worked extensively overseas and at present have clientele in London and the south east of England.
Therapies
Bowen Technique
The Bowen Technique is a simple holistic treatment, which balances and relaxes whilst releasing muscle spasm, thereby allowing the system to rid itself of toxins that can be the cause of many problems. The relief of pain and tension is achieved through a series of gentle moves on the muscle and connective tissue along the whole body which in turn triggers the body's natural healing response. The Bowen technique treats many diverse conditions such as sports injuries, back/neck pain, sciatica, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, RSI and asthma. Here’s one example of how the Bowen technique helped eliminate long-term migraine:
“I had migraines for over 30 yrs and was getting 2-3 migraines a week until I met Beverley. She introduced me to the Bowen Technique and I am now feeling absolutely great with plenty of energy and no migraine! I also had other small problems such as lower back and knee pain both of which have now disappeared. I was very stressed and feeling very low in myself but thanks to Beverley I now feel absolutely fantastic! “ W. McCormick
Reiki
This is an ancient Sanskrit method of natural healing which involves the laying on of hands and the use of sacred symbols. The origins of Reiki are Japanese and the system focuses on harmonising the body centres. It is a multidimensional energy that aids the self healing process. Relieves aches, pains, reduces oedema, calms, balances; promotes state of well-being.
Reflexology
This ancient oriental art of foot massage works with the body's natural energy flow to combat stress and stress related conditions and hence restore balance, harmony and vitality. This technique helps to regulate body functions, stimulate circulation, provide incredible relief to those suffering from pain and tension, improve lymphatic drainage and is particularly effective in building the immune system of the body. It can prevent disorders from occurring. Excellent results have been achieved in areas such as insomnia, IBS, hormonal imbalances, skin, eye and ear disorders. One client testifies to the benefits of having regular reflexology treatment:
“Two years ago I had numbness in my left hand that disrupted my sleep. I was amazed when that same week during a reflexology session Beverley paused whilst pressing my right foot and asked "have you been having any numbness in your hand?" This is so representative of the countless times that have shown just how her fingers and knowledge are so attuned. From boosting the immune system in the winter, combating fatigue and from a slipped disc or trapped nerve reflexology has been a real cure for me.” N Girardi
Swedish Massage
Is a toning and energising body massage which relieves muscle tension, aids the circulatory system and stimulates lymphatic drainage thus promoting a feeling of well being.
The Metamorphic Technique
Is an approach to self healing and creativity within the individual. A light touch is used to focus attention on the spinal reflexes in the feet, hands and head. In this way the life force of the individual begins to work, long held blockages which may be holding them back from reaching their full potential are broken down and inner negative patterns transformed. After receiving treatments, people often notice immediate physical, emotional or psychological changes. With this movement out of old patterns positive life changes are experienced on all levels!
All of these therapies are suitable for all ages and can be used effectively in conjunction with homeopathic remedies and allopathic medicine.
Unique Benefits
My treatments are built around the individual needs of each client, with specific healing programmes. I have been successful in the alleviation of a range of physical, emotional and psychological difficulties including

In addition, I also work alongside Osteopaths and have had numerous excellent results from people who have suffered with their health for many years. I am able to offer continuity of care through the use of these different techniques, which ensures optimum benefit for clients. If required, I also incorporate healing as part of my work at no extra charge, which clients tend to find extremely relaxing and effective.
