Decide what you need from the appointment

Reflexology is described on the site as a gentle, relaxing therapy based on ancient foot massage techniques, aiming to help the body regain natural balance and improve overall health and well-being. The practitioner lists these as reasons people come:

  • Sleep problems
  • Stress or anxiety
  • Low energy levels
  • Headaches or other aches and pains
  • Digestive problems
  • Hormonal imbalances including PMT or menopausal symptoms
  • Trying for a baby
  • Pregnancy-related ailments
  • Simply needing help relaxing

If your goal is general relaxation or stress support, standard foot reflexology fits. If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or in the post-natal period, ask specifically about maternity reflexology, since that is a separate advanced training area. If you want to treat your own baby, ask about the baby reflex® short courses for parents.

Verify qualifications and insurance before booking

The site states Jeanette Barsalini is a fully insured member of the Association of Reflexologists (AoR) and qualified as a reflexologist in 2006. She also describes advanced training in maternity reflexology and in supporting couples trying to conceive, including those in fertility treatment, and holds baby reflex® practitioner status.

When you call, it is reasonable to confirm these points directly: AoR membership, current insurance, and which specialised trainings apply to your situation. For maternity or fertility work in particular, ask how the practitioner adapts treatments during pregnancy or alongside fertility treatment.

Understand what reflexology can and cannot do

The site frames reflexology as a complementary therapy that promotes relaxation and aims to help the body restore balance. It also notes the practitioner's view that prolonged stress is linked to illness, citing research that chronic stress can influence body systems and increase risk of long-term health issues such as heart disease, diabetes and auto-immune conditions.

Treat this as context for why relaxation matters, not as a claim that reflexology treats those conditions. Reflexology is a relaxation and well-being therapy; it is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment. If you have a new, severe or worsening symptom — persistent headaches, unexplained pain, significant sleep or mood changes — see a doctor or appropriate clinician first, and tell your reflexologist about any ongoing medical care.

Contact, book and prepare

  1. Call 07967 569011 to ask about current availability and the right treatment for your needs. The website also has a "Prices and appointments" page and a "Booking terms and conditions" page — check both before booking, since the site does not publish prices directly in the material available.
  2. Confirm practical details: exact location and parking or transport options, session length, price, payment method, and the cancellation policy.
  3. Explain your situation on the phone: pregnancy stage, fertility treatment, post-natal status, stress or sleep issues, or any medical conditions and medications. This helps the practitioner plan the session and decide whether reflexology is appropriate now.
  4. Prepare for a first consultation: expect questions about your health, lifestyle, stress levels and reasons for booking, plus a discussion of what you hope to gain. Wear or bring nothing special for foot reflexology beyond comfortable trousers that roll up.
  5. Agree a frequency: ask what the practitioner recommends for your goal — a single relaxation session versus a short series — and how you will judge whether it is helping.

Common sticking points

  • Prices not visible online: confirm cost by phone rather than assuming; the site directs you to its prices and appointments page.
  • Maternity and fertility work needs a conversation: these are specialised areas, so ask how the practitioner tailors sessions and coordinates with your midwife, GP or fertility clinic.
  • Baby courses are for parents: baby reflex® is offered as short courses teaching parents to treat their own babies, not as a drop-in treatment for infants.
  • Travel from surrounding towns: the practice is described as within easy reach of Reigate, Horley, Epsom, Crawley and surrounding East Surrey areas — confirm the exact address and journey time when booking.

If after the call the practitioner's specialisms, availability or approach do not fit your needs, look for another AoR-registered reflexologist locally and ask the same qualification and insurance questions.
