Gemma Ireland
Gemma is the Director and co-founder of Bodyflow and runs the UK branch. She has an incredibly extensive knowledge of the holistic body and has been working in alternative health for over 20 years full time. She believes that if we treat our bodies properly, we will be healthy, happy, confident and live long. Everything in moderation, a healthy balanced diet, exercise carefully, hydrate, breathe fresh air and visualisation will help you prepare for your days ahead. She has helped many clients over the years alter the way they lead their lives with superb life long results.
Gemma trained and qualified as a reflexologist at the Self Centre in Harley Street in 1999 and specialises in helping couples balance their systems to promote fertility and natural conception. This combined with her extensive knowledge of prenatal health gained from her five years as a birth doula enables Gemma to accompany her clients on their journey through pregnancy to the birth of their child with holistic advice on nutrition, pain relief, exercise, breast-feeding and positive thinking. She is also an acupressure therapist.
Gemma believes that many couples are encouraged to go down a ‘medical route’ far too quickly without considering a holistic approach. She was told when riddled with PCOS and endometriosis at a young age of 17, that she would find it terribly hard to conceive, if at all. This shattered her dreams of being a mother. She now has a teenager and Bodyflow reflexology helped her conceive like so many of her clients. This experience motivated Gemma over 20 years ago to specialise in helping clients create a fertile body to aid their fertility, resulting in so many conceptions and very clients contended clients over the years.
Over the years Gemma has worked with many clients suffering from cancer, helping them relax as well as restoring energy levels after chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. Gemma’s positive energy and treatments benefit her clients’ well-being by making them feel lighter, more energetic and happier.
She also works with a lot of sports injury problems, football teams, tennis players and running complaints…reflexology is so powerful, it opens the structural body, creating space and natural healing. Reflexology works from within and continues to work after the treatment is given, providing outstanding results.
Gemma has been told on many occasions that she has ‘Healing Hands’ and that her clients feel a new ‘Lease of Life’ has been opened after receiving treatments. She is very passionate about her work and loves to help her clients in any way possible. Each client is treated individually and personally.
She specialises in creating a fertile body for both man and woman, pregnancy, and postpartum care with amazing results. She treats men and women with any health concerns and has a very loyal and high profile client base, some of whom have given testimonials: Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Felicity Kendal, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jamie and Jools Oliver, Phil Spencer, Alice Temperley, Nicola Elliot, founder of NEOM, Millie Mackintosh, Madeleine Shaw, Madeleine Thomson, founder of MT Cashmere, Rhiannon Lambert, Founder of Rhitrition, James and Christiane Duigan, Founders of Bodyism and many more…
