Testimonial.
” I only really became interested in reflexology after my Mam was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2018. After chemotherapy.. it looked like it was back. After 6 reflexology treatments the Doctors confirmed that it was gone and that was it, I was sure that the reflexology played a part in that result. The Teacher that treated my Mam also teaches here and I knew that the training would be excellent. Sharon keeps everyone up to date and the course is very well run yet comfortable. I travel from Donegal each month as I know it is the best course around and the group are just lovely…highly recommend” Niamh, Donegal.
