About Pippa Howell  

I am a qualified and experienced practitioner with a caring, intuitive approach.  I respect and honour each client's individuality.  As a registered member of the UK Reiki Federation and the Association of Reflexologists, I work to the highest ethical standards and a professional code of practice.  All client consultations and treatments are completely confidential.

I work mostly at home in the Somerset market town of Frome, in a warm and peaceful treatment room.  I am a member of the Frome Healthy Living Trail which is a local association of fully qualified practitioners in the Frome area.  I also offer treatments on Thursdays at the Manu Centre in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, which is a wonderful space used only for healing and well-being purposes.  Some of my workshops are also held here.

My interest and experience in hands-on healing and energy work began while working in remote parts of Africa and Asia.  On returning to England I qualified in Indian Head Massage and then undertook four years of Reiki training which has become an ongoing developmental practice.  Since also qualifying as a reflexologist I have discovered the amazing potential of the feet as a pathway to the whole body, indeed the whole person.  It now seems very natural to me that I was inspired to develop the special combined treatment known as Reiki-Reflex. Since 2009 I am also qualified to use a range of aromatherapy oils on the feet. I have now developed the Aroma-Reflex treatment, which is the luxurious combination of a full reflexology session with aromatherapy massage of the feet and lower legs.

In 2007 I trained to become a Certified LifeSkills Consultant in order to help clients manage their stress and learn simple relaxation techniques (see LifeSkills section) including breath work and visualisation. This is a natural extension to my therapy work and can be combined with Reiki or other therapies if required.

I am a qualified Reiki Master Teacher offering Reiki courses to individuals, couples and small groups. For more information please see the Workshops section or my separate website www.reiki-course.co.uk.  I also offer other personal growth workshops from time to time, for instance working with the Chakras (energy centres), Creative Visualisation or Relaxation Skills. Since 2005 I have also taught occasional introductory Reflexology workshops. If you are interested in learning more about the benefits of reflexology and some techniques to help yourself, your family and friends, then this workshop is for you!  Please see the Workshops section for forthcoming dates and venues or contact me to enquire. 

In 2009 I undertook training in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and I am now able to  offer this amazing transformative therapy to my clients. Just a few sessions of EFT can help to shift old emotional patterns and physical symptoms on a permanent basis. If you have an issue which has not responded to other therapies, this is definitely worth a try!

 
I am passionate about the therapies I practise, their potential for healing and their power to transform.   In fact, I love my work!  I very much look forward to welcoming you for your next treatment.  You can read some comments from previous clients here.
