About me
Hi, I'm Gemma.
​​I've spent the past 20 years working in clinical occupational health for the NHS, but have always recognised the benefits of holistic therapies.
Wild Roots Therapy reflects my ethos and values as a reflexologist where I can support my clients with both a pragmatic, clinical view coupled with the understanding and knowledge that seeking alternative therapies can provide. You can read more about my journey below.

My Story
I first discovered reflexology while dealing with a challenging digestive condition that lasted for two years. Despite receiving medical treatment under GP and consultant care, I felt something was missing. I wanted to explore a more natural way to support my body – something that aligned with my personal approach to health and wellbeing.
​
Through my own research, I found reflexology; from my very first session I felt grounded, refreshed, and deeply relaxed and as I continued treatments, I noticed a significant improvement in my symptoms. Reflexology helped to calm my flare-ups, ease discomfort, and support my overall recovery in a way that traditional medicine alone had not.
​
This experience quickly led to a personal interest and ultimately to undertaking training as a reflexologist, combining my nearly two decades of NHS clinical occupational therapy experience with holistic therapy, to offer people an alternative way to support their health. I’ve seen first-hand how a holistic approach can help maintain, restore, and aid recovery beyond conventional western medical practices, and I am delighted to be able to share this with you.
