Gemma Ireland
Gemma is the Director and co-founder of Bodyflow, known to have ‘healing hands and a touch that is like no other’. She has an extensive knowledge of the human body and has been working in complimentary and integrated health for over 27 years full time. She believes that if we treat our bodies carefully, then we will be healthy, happy and live a long life. She has helped many clients over the years alter the way they lead their lives with outstanding life long results.
She 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 birth, with holistic approach on pain relief, exercise, breast-feeding and postpartum healing and recovery care. When she was a birth doula she helped bring many wonderful babies into the world in hospital, home births, water births and in the corridors of client’s homes. She is also a Japanese acupressure therapist.
Over the years Gemma has created the much loved sequence of Bodyflow Reflexology which is very different to the normal reflexology that you may have experienced. It works to a deep cellular level of healing and helps unlock the body from birth onwards. We carry a history of our life in our feet and this specific treatment helps gently create space, movement, breath, deep cellular healing to enable the body and its systems to work correctly. The treatment works is specifically tailored to the clients individual needs. It targets any in-balance that you may have or have had for many years, stimulating organs, nerves, muscles, tendons and the body to function properly. Clients can’t believe how powerful and effective the treatments are, giving them a new lease of life, taller with a spring in their step.
Gemma specialises in creating a fertile body for both man and woman, pregnancy, and postpartum care with amazing results. She believes that many couples are encouraged to go down a ‘medical route’ far too quickly without considering a holistic approach. She was told when diagnosed with PCOS and endometriosis at the 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 is a mother to an adult son and Bodyflow reflexology helped her conceive like so many of her clients. This experience motivated Gemma over 26 years ago, to specialise in helping clients create a fertile body to aid their fertility, resulting in so many conceptions and very happy clients contended clients over the years.
Gemma works with clients who have or are recovering from cancer, helping promote their recovery as well as restoring energy levels after and during chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions. Gemma’s positive energy and treatments benefit her clients’ well-being by making them feel lighter, more energetic and happier. Gemma knows about the importance of staying healthy, being aware of life’s toxins and negative inputs to ensure a healthy body.
She softens and deeply heals sports injuries, helping football teams, tennis players and running atheletes…Bodyflow 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 and long lasting results.
