My Journey
Hi, my name is Michelle and I am a Clinical Reflexologist based in East London. Having spent 12 years in the fashion industry as a footwear buyer I experienced first-hand the physical and emotional effects that long term stress can have on the body, and I was forced to make a career change for my health. While looking for a holistic approach to wellness I discovered complementary therapies which (in keeping with the theme of feet!) led to a journey that is now known as BalanceYou Reflexology.
