About Reflex & Holistics

Reflex & Holistics is run by Gemma Nesbitt. She provides relaxing, holistic reflexology in Chester and the surrounding areas, at her home in Hoole or in the client’s home, at a time that suits the client. The site says every treatment is tailored to the person.

The reflexology page describes reflexology as a very safe, non-intrusive, holistic therapy in the field of complementary therapies. It says reflexologists cannot diagnose conditions, but can give advice and aid well-being. The gift vouchers page states that complementary therapies are intended to complement conventional medicine. They are not intended to replace medication or traditional healthcare, or a proper diagnosis and treatment by a qualified medical practitioner.

Core services

Prices below are the ones published on the prices page. “Here” means at Gemma’s home in Hoole. “Home” means in the client’s home. A plain-text summary of what each appointment includes is taken from that price list.

Traditional reflexology

Here £35. In your home £40. About 1 hour, including a pre-treatment health consultation by phone or email, 45 to 50 minutes of foot reflexology, and after-treatment advice. More detail is on the reflexology page. Only shoes and socks need to be removed. For a home visit, the page suggests a room away from noise.

Maternity reflexology

Here £35. In your home £40. About 1 hour, including a consultation, 45 to 50 minutes of foot reflexology tailored for the different stages of pregnancy, and after-treatment advice. The maternity reflexology page describes it as a complementary therapy for pre-conception, pregnancy, labour and the post-natal period. Gemma writes that she tends not to treat until after the first trimester, unless the client was already coming before becoming pregnant.

Fertility reflexology

Here £45. In your home £50. A full health consultation form is emailed before the first appointment. The first appointment is 1 hour 30 minutes, including a reproductive assessment on the feet. Later appointments are 45 to 50 minutes of foot reflexology. The price list also includes lifestyle advice, basal temperature charting, recommendations for testing, and after-treatment advice. The fertility reflexology page says this is for women and men who are trying to conceive, and that it can be used alongside assisted fertility treatments such as IVF, IUI, ICSI and medicated cycles. Gemma recommends a minimum of 6 treatments for women, ideally weekly for the first 4 and then reviewed, and a minimum of 8 treatments for men. She says these are recommendations, and to get in contact if that is not financially possible.

Reflexology lymph drainage (RLD)

Here £35. In your home £40. About 1 hour, including a consultation, 45 to 50 minutes of a foot technique focused on the lymphatic reflexes (hands can be used if preferred), and after-treatment advice. The RLD page describes it as an award-winning reflexology technique researched and developed by Sally Kay.

Parent and baby

Here £45. In your home £50. About 1 hour 20 minutes, including a consultation for mother and baby, 50 to 60 minutes of foot reflexology for mum, 10 minutes of foot or hand reflexology for baby, and after-treatment advice. This appointment is on the prices page. There is no separate treatment page for it.

Reflexology for menopause

The menopause page describes a treatment tailored to support women going through the menopause, and says reflexology aims to support menopausal symptoms. It does not publish a separate price. The priced reflexology appointments are the ones listed above.

Reflexology and cancer care

The cancer care page describes reflexology as a gentle support that can complement conventional cancer care, including for carers and loved ones. It is not a cancer treatment and it is not a cure. It does not publish a separate price.

Auricular therapy

The auricular therapy page describes auricular reflexology, also called auriculotherapy, as work on the outer ear using ear pellets or seeds. It can follow a reflexology treatment or be booked on its own. Clothing does not need to be removed. Published prices:

20 to 30 minutes of auricular therapy: here £25, in your home £35. A full consultation is completed before the first appointment, by email or phone.
45 minutes of reflexology plus 15 minutes of auricular therapy: here £40, in your home £45.

Taster sessions

The prices page says taster sessions are available and to contact Gemma if you are interested. No taster price is published.

Self-help and gift vouchers

The self-help page shares hand-reflexology ideas and links, and says to seek medical advice with any medical condition. Gift vouchers can be posted, emailed, or collected. Postage is £1.95 for a first class large letter.

What the site says sets the practice apart

Gemma Nesbitt is the owner and the practitioner named on the site.
The about page says she is a full member of the FHT and a full member of the Association of Reflexologists, and that she follows their codes.
Treatments are at her home in Hoole or in the client’s home, at a time that suits the client.
A consultation is taken before a first treatment, by phone or email, at no extra charge.
The footer trust line says “MAR and FHT registered, free home visits within 5 miles.” See the travel notes below, because the price list also publishes a higher price for a treatment in the client’s home.

Location, hours and travel

Reflex & Holistics is based at 150 Hoole Road, Chester, CH2 3NX. The footer says it serves Chester and surrounding areas.

Opening hours published in the footer and on the prices page are Monday to Friday, 9am to 2.30pm, with some evenings available. If those times do not work, the prices page says to get in contact and Gemma will try to fit another time.

Travel is described in more than one place, and both statements are published:

The price list gives one price at Gemma’s home and a higher price for a treatment in the client’s home.
The prices page and the homepage say that within a 5 mile radius there is no extra charge, and beyond that there may be a slight charge of £5 to cover petrol.
The footer trust line says “MAR and FHT registered, free home visits within 5 miles.”

How to book

Email reflexandholistics@gmail.com, or call or text 07834 283207. The prices page also says you can message or WhatsApp. If there is no answer, leave a message.
There is no booking form on the contact page. The contact and book page asks people to email, call or text.
Before a first treatment, a consultation is taken by phone or email and returned before the appointment. Fertility and auricular appointments use a fuller consultation, as described above.
Most treatments take 1 hour, including a follow-up consultation and preparation. Fertility’s first visit is 1 hour 30 minutes. Parent and baby is about 1 hour 20 minutes. A standalone auricular appointment is 20 to 30 minutes.

Payment, cancellation and vouchers

The prices page says payment can be taken by card in person with a card reader, or by cash or bank transfer.
The card payments note says cards accepted in person include credit or debit cards showing Visa, V PAY, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Discover, Diners Club or UnionPay, plus NFC payments via Google Pay and Apple Pay.
Gift vouchers can be paid by bank transfer, cash, PayPal, or a card reader in person.
Cancellation: please give 24 hours’ notice so the time can be offered to someone else. If there is no answer when Gemma arrives at the location, the prices page says payment is required for that treatment and for any subsequent treatments.
Reflexology vouchers are valid for a year from the date on the back of the voucher. Change is given in gift vouchers if the purchase is less than the face value. Vouchers are non-refundable, cannot be exchanged for cash, can be used only once and should be handed over when used, and cannot be used with a promotion, offer or discount.
If someone is taking medication or has a long-term medical condition, the gift vouchers page says it may be necessary to check with a GP before a treatment.
Clients under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and have written consent.

Where do treatments take place?

At 150 Hoole Road, Chester, CH2 3NX, or in your home in Chester and the surrounding areas.

What are the hours?

Does reflexology cure illness?

No. The site describes reflexology as a complementary therapy. Reflexologists cannot diagnose conditions. It is not a replacement for medication, a GP, or other medical care. Seek medical advice if you are worried about a condition.

Can I buy a gift voucher?

Yes. Order from the gift vouchers page by email or phone. A reflexology voucher is valid for a year, is non-refundable, and cannot be exchanged for cash.
