Hi, I’m Rachel.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been a nurse since 1999, after qualifying with a BSc (Hons) in Adult Nursing. Over the years, I found myself drawn to how powerful therapeutic touch can be \u2013 I saw, time and again, how calming it could be for patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, I trained to teach baby massage, and could see how much this affected both parent and child in a positive way. This paved the way for my path into discovering more complementary therapies. I qualified as a reflexologist in autumn 2021 and haven\u2019t looked back since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I began with Reflexology with Rachel, but as I kept learning and expanding, Cherry Tree Holistic came to life. I\u2019m now qualified to offer treatments in Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Reiki, Gua Sha Facial Therapy, Acupressure Facial Therapy, Mian Dui Facials and support for Perimenopause. I\u2019m really intentional about what I offer \u2013 if it doesn\u2019t feel genuinely helpful to my clients, I don\u2019t add it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little about how I work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being a woman \u2013 and a mum \u2013 I know just how easy it is to put yourself last. Between work, family, and all the other demands on your time, slowing down can feel like a luxury you can\u2019t afford. But the truth is, you deserve that space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My hope is to help you see that your wellbeing isn\u2019t optional \u2013 it\u2019s essential. When you care for yourself, you ensure that you meet not only your needs, but the needs of those around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each session I offer is tailored to you, based on how you\u2019re feeling that day and what your body needs. My aim is simple: that you leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and a little more like yourself again \u2013 and that feeling carries on, long after you\u2019ve gone home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
