This is My Story

Having experienced the benefits of Reflexology personally during my treatment for a serious illness, I decided to train in the Original Ingham Method as a Reflexology practitioner with the renowned International Institute of Reflexology (IIR UK). Once I was on the road to full recovery, I was very keen for others to experience the benefits that I’d experienced with Reflexology as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medicine when my health had not been great.

It has been a good few years since I qualified (2010 to be precise), but it is still important to me that I keep up to date with the latest Reflexology techniques by regularly attending seminars and training courses. Continuous professional development widens my knowledge and ensures I can give you the best possible Reflexology treatment. Having left the corporate world in 2015, I am fully aware of the stresses and strains of modern working life and can’t emphasise enough how Reflexology can help you relax.

I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists, the International Institute of Reflexologists, Professional Reflexology as well as a member of the Register of Advanced Reflexologists.  In addition to my original diploma in the Original Ingham Method (through the IIR UK), I am also a Qualified Nerve Reflexologist, a Qualified Practitioner in Facial Reflexology and Zone Face Lift (including facial cupping), an Approved Reflexology Lymph Drainage Practitioner, Ear Reflexology Practitioner, and most recently (October 2021) I became a Chi Medics Practitioner.

Time since March 2020 has felt like a rollercoaster ride. For anyone who knows me – that is not good. I ruined a pair of my dad’s shoes (yes – they were new) on a helter-skelter when I was little – but that is another story. Suffice to say – Izabel and fairground/theme parks are not good together – although I still love a dodgem. All that said, I used my time wisely.

To recap:

2020

• February – Zone Face Lift Masterclass – plus a new skill – Facial Cupping
• May – Herbal Compress for Reflexologists
• July – Chi Medics Release Points
• Numerous books read following Reflexology Book Club presentations

In the October, I started the Chi Medics Practitioner course. I qualified exactly 11 years to the day since I first qualified as a reflexologist, which felt rather apt. Check out my blog post. I have added some new Frequently Asked Questions and a new tab about Chi Medics.

Last, but by no means least, I registered with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). The government established the CNHC in 2008 with the sole purpose of protecting you, the client. They do this by providing an independent UK register of complementary healthcare practitioners. As a registrant, I have agreed to be bound by the highest standards of conduct and have registered voluntarily.

I cannot quite believe it, but here we are, nearly at the end of 2021. In the last 18 months, I have learned so many new techniques – that have completely transformed how I treat you. I am very excited to share it all with you. Please give me a call on 07912 951763 or email me at izabelkcarter@gmail.com.
