My therapies include Reflexology (including Maternity Reflexology), Reiki (Second Degree), Indian Head/Shoulder Massage, biomechanical assessments and custom-made foot support Orthotics.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Wellbeing Policy

I respectfully ask that all clients are at least 48 hours clear of any fevers, viruses and sickness symptoms including diarrhoea BEFORE attending appointments at this clinic.

I completely understand that we all become ill from time to time, so please do let me know if you are unwell and need to reschedule as soon as you can.

I reserve the right to reschedule your appointment if you are feeling unwell.

I must work to minimise any risk to the health and wellbeing of fellow clients. Some clients are immunocompromised, on IVF programs and have elderly loved ones in nursing homes.

Thank you so much for your understanding regarding this.

Arrival in clinic

Please arrive on time for your scheduled appointment.  Treatments for any late arrival clients will still finish at the allotted time with the same fee.

Cancellations

Please provide 24 hour notice for cancellations or changes of all appointments.  Cancellations made with less than 4 hour notice will be charged 50% of scheduled service.  Cancellation within one hour of the appointment time or 'No Shows' will be charged the full service charge.  This policy also applies to gift certificates.

Thankyou for your understanding. 

Clinic Appointment Policy

Only one client in the clinic room at a time while I am providing treatment. Your treatment will be more relaxing and effective if both client and therapist are not distracted. If you arrive with anyone else, they are welcome to grab a coffee at a cafe while you have your treatment, or sit in the garden gazebo.  

The exception to this is when a carer is required to be with the client.

Child Policy

Unless your child is receiving a treatment, I do not allow your little loved ones in my clinic room while working with clients due to distractions. Apart from WHS implications, it is very hard to concentrate and provide the best treatment for you when your child is in the clinic treatment room. It is more beneficial for clients to receive a treatment in a relaxed environment with no distractions. Please reschedule if you have babysitting difficulties. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Mobile Phones

Reflexation strives to provide an uplifting, relaxing and memorable experience for all clients. Your relaxing treatment will be more therapeutic for you if you choose to leave your issues at work or at home by turning your mobile onto silent for the short time you are in clinic. However, there are always emergency situations where you will of course need your mobile switched on.

Testimonials

"My disabled son had a session with Deborah last week and enjoyed it so much he fell asleep, he was very pleased with the way it went and will be back for sure" Jeanette B

"As a qualified health professional myself, it is difficult to find a truly talented and effective practitioner such as Ms Watts"

“Pure peace, tranquillity and sheer relaxation”

"You make my treatments so personal - it is just like being at home in my lounge room, not a clinic. You spoil me everytime"

“I am so glad I found you, an absolute lifesaver”

"Since I have been having Reflexology, I have an improved feeling of wellbeing"

"I felt the stress just melt away"

"Thank you I feel fabulous after my treatment on Saturday ....."

"I began having reflexology treatments with Deborah after a miscarriage to help my recovery and assist in getting my BP under control. I have had regular reflexology treatments since this time. In 2000 I was told by a gynaecologist that if I was to get pregnant, she would probably be terminating the pregnancy due to eclampsia because of my hypertension.

I continued to see Deborah whilst I was trying to conceive and with a history of infertility and only one previous pregnancy, this occurred quickly. I continued my reflexology treatments throughout my pregnancy and I feel that the benefits of reflexology treatments have been tremendous.

Throughout my pregnancy both my BP and diabetes were stable and despite the expectation that I would probably end up delivering my baby early due to medical complications, I delivered a health baby boy at term.

My obstetric care also included my Obstetrician, a Nephrologist and an Endocrinolist. I was viewed as a high risk patient, yet I had a trouble-free pregnancy. This was to the amazement of my doctors who had expected that I would be admitted to hospital during my pregnancy"

".......I knew I was in good hands because of Deborah's particular training in maternity reflexology. I had a very healthy baby girl and I couldn't have had a healthier pregnancy!"

"...... I found the treatment to be wonderful, I was completely relaxed and found afterwards I was not being sick and slept really well"

"I work in law enforcement which requires me to wear police issue boots for up to 12 hours per shift. Since acquiring my custom-made orthotics from Deborah Watts, I have noticed a great improvement with my feet – no more aches and pains which I had put up with for years.

I also frequent the golf course and my game has improved immensely since I had my orthotics fitted and my feet have never felt better. My general health and wellbeing has improved and I have found my feet no longer ache after long periods exercising or working.

Instead, they thank me for finally seeking treatment after 20 years of telling them I would. Living life without niggling aches and pains, not just in my feet but also my ankles, hips and back, is like walking on air every time I take a step. I also attend Deborah’s clinic for regular reflexology treatments.
- Wayne – 37 years young"

"I was not familiar nor had I any experience with reflexology until September 2006 when I visited the clinic of Deborah Watts for my first reflexology treatment. Whilst I was sceptical of this treatment therapy I had several visits before I realised that these reflexology treatments were beneficial to my wellbeing.

I have continued with my reflexology sessions and on some visits I have noted a marked improvement with specific issues I have had. At one time I had an annoying right shoulder pain however at the end of the session the pain had reduced by about 50% with relief from my discomfort.

Deborah has compassion and a thorough professional approach to her treatments and brings not only reflexology to each treatment but energy healing, massaging and orthotic knowledge. In summary each reflexology treatment I receive I feel that Deborah puts her heart into my feet!

I have given Deborah permission to pass on my contact details if anyone wishes to speak with me about my reflexology treatments with her."

Ï've been struggling with my rotator cuff for years, but in recent weeks it has been particularly painful..........  My husband and I had a session with Deborah today. Tonight I find myself digging under our stairs looking for old journals ... it occurs to me I've been lifting boxes with a variety of weights without thought when two days ago I could not lift my arm ........"
