TESTIMONIALS

 Shoulder pain Eastern Head, Neck & Shoulders Massage

“I was suffering from tension in my shoulders and a deep pain in my shoulder blade. Brian gave me what he calls his ‘quick fix’ neck and shoulder massage and Reiki on three separate occasions and the relief was instant and long lasting. The problem has not re-occurred. I can recommend this treatment for headaches and other stress related conditions.”

J.T. –  Blackburn.

 SinusitisReflexology & Reiki

“I had an acute sinus problem that was diagnosed by my G.P., who treated it with a series of anti-biotic and anti-histamine tablets. Although temporary relief was experienced, the sinus problems returned. Brian treated with both Reflexology and Reiki on several occasions and the relief was incredible, almost immediate and permanent. My G.P. had referred me to a consultant who suggested drilling and draining my sinuses (under a general anaesthetic), although he did point out to me that neither of these treatments would guarantee a cure. However, thanks to Brian, surgery was unnecessary and no further treatment required.”

R.T. – Blackburn.

Stiff ShoulderEastern Head, Neck & Shoulders Massage

“Brian, many thanks for the relief you have given me from a persistent stiff shoulder. I wouldn’t have believed it could be ‘loosened’ so effectively.”

M.D. – Preston.

Severe Back PainReiki

“I have had a long standing problem with my back as the result of an injury. This results in bouts of severe pain and difficulty in movement. Recently, during one of these bouts, I went to Brian Jeffery, as a last resort, for a session of Reiki to relieve the pain.

I hobbled into the treatment room, having had to have assistance to even get out of the chair in the waiting area, and walked out an hour later, able to move almost normally, and with very little pain. During subsequent treatments, this improvement continued, together with a feeling of total well-being. I would recommend Brian and his use of Reiki to any in similar pain.”

P.S. – Accrington.

Migraine - Reflexology

“After having Reflexology, I have stopped taking my daily medication. I used to get several 3 day migraines a month, but they have now been reduced to only 1 per month.”

A.D. – Accrington.

Back PainReflexology

 “ Have suffered from back pain on and off since my son was born 8 years ago. I can be fine for months and then suddenly wake up in severe pain for no apparent reason. A friend who had been having Reflexology with very positive results introduced me to Brian. At the time it was a last resort. I didn’t really believe that he could help me, but I didn’t have anything to lose.

After 3 days, the pain seemed to lift- I was absolutely amazed. After just 6 sessions, I was completely pain-free. I would not hesitate to recommend Brian Jeffery to anyone experiencing pain. His sympathetic nature and understanding comes across immediately. Reflexology really works, I am now a firm believer in this treatment and would consult Brian again without hesitation, if I needed more treatment in the future.”

S.W. – Lancaster

Neck PainEastern Head, Neck & Shoulders Massage

“Just a quick note to say thanks you for easing the neck pain I had, by your head, neck and shoulders massage. I was suffering considerable pain with my neck, and I nearly had a car accident due to the fact I could not turn my neck, and nearly reversed into a car on a car park. To my surprise the neck pain disappeared after the treatment, and moving my neck was no problem. I for one would certainly have no hesitation in having further treatment if the need arose. To date, there has been no reoccurrence of neck pain or tightness in the shoulders.”

K.S. – Preston.

 

 

 

Whiplash InjuryReflexology

“Brian, just a quick note to say thank you for your time and effort in improving my health. After being told by my G.P. that I could expect to be in considerable pain for many months, if not years, I am absolutely delighted with the improvement thanks to your skilful hands. My back is now almost completely pain free apart from the odd twinge, and after only 6 sessions. You are helping so many people with major conditions where traditional methods have failed. Good luck for the future and thanks once again.”

J.H.- Darwen

SinusitisReflexology

“I first contacted you with sinus problems that I had suffered for a long time, and had received various treatments from my doctor. Within the first few weeks of treatment I was experiencing great improvement in my condition and was fully ‘cured’ within a matter of months. I now enjoy my treatments to help with stress and to keep me feeling fit, healthy and totally relaxed.”

M.S.- Chorley.

HeadachesReflexology

“Very pleased with treatment and would highly recommend you to anyone.”

H.C. – Preston.

Sinusitis - Reflexology

“I have been taking up to 6 painkillers a day over the last few years for sinus problems which gave me terrible headaches. After having treatment with Brian, I have felt a lot better and have cut down on the tablets to none or occasionally two. I would recommend this treatment to anyone with similar problems.”

L.C.- Preston.

Reynaud’s Syndrome/Back Pain – Reflexology/Reiki

“Reflexology has almost cured Reynaud’s syndrome which caused me great pain in the past. Reflexology and Reiki have greatly eased a severe back problem. I would strongly recommend both.”

P.R.-  Lancaster.

Painful Wrist & Back - Reiki

“Reiki worked well on a painful wrist and back. I also found it relaxing, relieving the tension brought on by a stressful job.”

M.H. - Accrington

Migraine/Arthritis/P,M.S/Back Pain Reflexology

J.D. – Accrington

G.B. – Preston

Irritable Bowel SyndromeReflexology

“this therapist has successfully treated my condition when drugs from my G.P. had no effect. I will continue to utilize his services regularly to keep symptoms at bay, and would always consult him regarding any other problem knowing I would get good advice, and, if necessary appropriate treatment.”

C.T. – Wigan.

Painful Upper Arm/SinusitisReflexology

“many years discomfort in left arm – 3 treatments later the pain went and now only occasional discomfort is experienced. Sinuses also treated with a good improvement in air intake!”

J.D. – Preston.

E.A. – Lancaster.

Sinusitis/Stomach Pain/StressReflexology

“I found the Reflexology very helpful for my sinus and stomach problems, and the Reiki for the stress and tension in my neck and shoulders.”

D.A. – Blackburn.

CystitisReflexology

“unless it had been recommended to me by a relative, I would never have tried Reflexology or understood just what could be cured by it. I’ve been very impressed by the treatment and have recommended it to a number of people.”

L.C. – Preston.

Stress - Reflexology

“Brian’s Reflexology skills really helped my insomnia when I was very tired & stressed. Now he’s just my regular ‘little treat’.

His friendly but professional approach is a real tonic.”

P.H. – Lancaster.

StressReflexology

“Dear Mr.Jeffery, I write to express my gratitude for the health benefits that your treatments has given me over these past weeks. Reiki and Reflexology have enhanced my quality of life enormously, they have both contributed to my ability to manage stress and have improved my overall effectiveness at work. They have increased the pleasure that I derive from my leisure interests and altogether have made me a much more calm and relaxed person. My personal relationships have been enhanced and I now have much more energy to devote to my family and friends. I look forward to further sessions in the future and will most certainly recommend your services to all my colleagues and friends. Thanking you again. Yours sincerely.”

G.M. – Preston.

StressReiki

“I’ve felt great since the treatment and I’ve stopped taking the drugs – thankyou!”

D.A. – Chorley.

Sciatica - Reflexology

“found Reflexology very relaxing and therapeutic, worked well for me.”

P.D. – Accrington.

Stress/SciaticaReflexology

“Reflexology has worked wonderfully for me in the treatment of very specific conditions as well as general stress control. The sciatica I suffered from to an extremely painful degree has been completely cured, and my ability to manage the stresses of everyday life is thanks to regular treatments. I would not be without Reflexology as part of my life.”

K.F. – Chorley.

StressReflexology

“I find Reflexology works well for me, it helps me to cope with the stress of modern life.”

E.F. – Chorley.

TensionEastern Head, Neck & Shoulders Massage

“I felt like a new woman, my shoulders and neck felt more at ease.”

M.W. – Preston.

Whiplash/Eczema - Reflexology

“I was somewhat cynical when introduced to the concept of Reflexology, but was proved wrong. The treatment has considerably improved (i.e. lessened the pain in) my lower back and neck. An additional, but not expected, benefit is that my eczema has become less aggressive, although initial flare-up’s were experienced. Brian’s friendly and relaxed manner combined with his professional knowledge means I would recommend this treatment to others. Thanks!”

S.V. – Preston.

StressReiki

“since commencing the treatment with Brian, I have become much calmer, more focused and have been able to handle difficult situations in a much more positive manner. I have also just successfully achieved a job move to an area I’ve always wanted to be in. Thanks for your help.”

E.H. – Preston.

Sciatica/Back PainReflexology

“due to an injury to my back, I was unable to play golf. After treatment by Brian, I was able to take up golf again after an absence of 26 years!”

D.H. – Blackburn.

EndometriosisReflexology

“after the second session, I noticed a difference in my menstrual cycle and the effects of the disease lessened.”

E.H. – Blackburn.

Severe Shoulder PainReflexology

“I will certainly recommend the treatment to anyone, for almost all complaints.”

W.W. – Preston.

SciaticaReflexology

“having suffered with back problems for the past 10 years, I have tried numerous treatments from the medical profession, none of which have been totally satisfactory. After a laminectomy, I was told that I would permanently have some discomfort due to scar tissue/nerve damage. Since my last attack of sciatica, I decided to try Reflexology. After 3 sessions with Brian, my sciatic pain had returned to an acceptable level.”

B.E. – Blackburn.

Back/Shoulder Pain - Reflexology

“may I take this opportunity to thank you for the treatment that I received. I cannot believe (happily) how improved my health is. I have made it known to friends and family how impressed I was. I look forward to seeing you again, I’m now a total believer – having carried postbags for years and suffering backache, I’m now feeling the fittest in years.

Many thanks.”

A.B. – Oldham.

SciaticaReflexology

“I found my treatment very beneficial and always relaxing. I’m sure my condition and outlook have been helped, and progress made through therapy with Brian. I would recommend a course of treatment to family and friends when needed, as I would like them to benefit as I have.”

M.D. – Blackburn.

Headaches/Stress/Hair Loss Reflexology

“After not knowing what to expect, Brian made me feel completely at ease and explained everything thoroughly. After only 1 treatment, I noticed a difference, and within months, felt much improved. Brian’s knowledge of herbal & vitamin treatments was an added bonus. Thanks Brian!”

M.B. – Preston.

Back PainReflexology

“I had been in some serious pain for over a month, and had found no solution in conventional remedies. Only 2 days after my first treatment from Brian, I felt almost completely well. Now after a second treatment my pain has gone.”

R.G.J. – Preston.

Bell’s Palsy/General Well-BeingReflexology/Reiki

“I was referred to Brian by my best friend, when I developed Bell’s Palsy in April 1998. I decided to try a trial session. At the time, I had been prescribed four lots of steroids, and six lots of painkillers a day. After a couple of sessions, I was off the painkillers, and continued to see Brian every fortnight until I had fully recovered, three months later. Brian tailored my treatment to my needs, greatly easing the condition in a rapid space of time, reducing the amount of stress this debility caused. Over time, Reiki was incorporated more and more. I continue to have treatment monthly to aid general well-being and peace of mind.”

L.F. – Preston.

Underactive ThyroidReflexology

“having felt poorly for some time, I went to my G.P., who diagnosed Glandular Fever and an Underactive Thyroid Gland, and suggested taking thyroxine. I didn’t want to take this drug, so discussed this with Brian, who recommended Reflexology. Over a period of six months, the Reflexology halted the problem, and even reversed it, so that my thyroid is now working within normal parameters. Throughout the treatment, I felt confident of Brian’s abilities, and even though at times, I felt very poorly, Brian even managed to make me laugh!  Throughout the treatment, my progress was monitored by my own G.P. – she too was impresses by the results!”

E.H. – Preston.

Neck & Shoulder Pain/SinusitisReflexology

“when introduced to Reflexology, I was interested but sceptical. Nonetheless, Brian Jeffery’s shining faith in his alternative medical art was infectious, and I agreed to give it a go.

I had a painful neck and shoulders, along with sinus problems which have defied the efforts of the medical profession for the last ten years. If drilling holes in my face, taking bits off my jaw and sundry other delights I was subjected to on the NHS had failed (they had), how could rubbing my feet help?

A few minutes into the first session, I was enjoying and curious about the treatment. I could feel the pain and tension which is usually a permanent sensation in the right side of my upper body begin to ebb away. By the end of the session I was nearly in tears with relief. To have discomfort which has robbed you of sleep and physical well-being for nearly a decade suddenly removed is an extraordinary experience. Over the next few days I felt calmer and relaxed than I have for ages, and the disgusting gunge which permanently blocks my facial tubes began to loosen. The pain in my neck and shoulders subsided. Subsequent visits provided further easing of the pain, and a general sense of well-being.  Six sessions later, I am a changed woman. I sleep at night. I am serene. I breathe through both nostrils. My shoulders, barring particularly stressful days, are where they should be, not hunched up around my ears. There is no doubt in my mind that it works. I seriously suggest you give it a go.”

Extract from Off the Beat Magazine – Lancaster.

Neck Pain – Eastern Head, Neck & Shoulders Massage & Reflexology 

“having had a sore neck for over 10 years, it was encouraging to try a treatment which actually worked on the particular problem. Definitely recommend to people who are unsure. The explanations to how the therapies worked were both full and thorough, with no pressure to continue if not successful. Until I tried the treatment, I had no idea what it was or how successful it would be. In fact I knew little about this type of treatment, and wish to get this message across to people who could benefit from this treatment and eliminate old problems that they have been troubled by.”

P.F. - Chorley

 Back Pain & StiffnessReflexology

“following treatment, aching and stiffness in both my back and right shoulder improved on a week by week basis. After 4 weeks treatment, both conditions appear to have cleared up completely.”

G.E. – Wigan

 Irritable Bowel SyndromeAloe Vera Gel

“my son, who is nine years old, has suffered with a mild case of IBS for the last twelve months. He has been to see our G.P. on several occasions, without success. About two months ago he suffered quite badly and became very distressed and unwell for a few days.  After taking just a capful a day of Aloe Vera Gel and eating more ‘healthy’ cereals, gradually over the last two months he has felt much better and now has no problems, as well as gaining extra vitamins from the Aloe.”  

H.F.  Chorley

Cystitis/Pregnancy/Heart ConditionReflexology

“I first started going to Brian in my 5th month of pregnancy. Up until then I had been plagued by recurrent cystitis, not having been free of it for more than 7 – 10 days at a time, and often having to sleep on the bathroom floor in order to be near enough to the toilet! Despite doing ‘all the right things’, such as drinking plenty of water, drinking cranberry juice etc., I still ended up having to have a course of antibiotics. Since having regular appointments with Brian however, I didn’t have a single episode, and neither did I have a recurrence of the thrush I had previously had.

I had a difficult pregnancy, with problems with my heart rhythm, but with Reflexology from Brian, I was able to reduce my dose of beta-blockers to a quarter of the prescribed dose. As important as all the above, though, was the feeling of relaxation, and well-being I got from the sessions, and early indication of any problems I was not yet aware of e.g. lower back problems.

Unfortunately, as I had to be induced in hospital in Manchester, I was unable to experience reflexology in labour. I still consult Brian, as my body adjusts back to its non-pregnant state, and he also ‘treats’ my now 3-month-old-though I’m not sure she fully appreciates it yet!  I can only highly recommend Brian’s Reflexology, especially in pregnancy, as effective, relaxing and without any of the risks associated with some medicines.”

A.F. - Leyland  

Dysfunctional Uterine BleedingReflexology

“having suffered from Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding over a period of months, I was placed on a waiting list for a Thermal Ablation (and asked to think about a hysterectomy in the longer term). I am unable to take hormone related medication.  At the time of going to see Brian Jeffery at Harmonious Healthcare, I had been suffering almost continual bleeding for 5 months, that was in October 2001. Initially, I attended Harmonious Healthcare on a weekly basis and over a period of time reduced the visits to fortnightly and now every 3 weeks.  I have had a normal monthly cycle for the last 2 months and I have put the operation on hold until July, so I can continue with Reflexology for 6 months to ensure that everything has returned to normal.  In addition, the usual back pain, bloatedness & irritability that I have suffered all my adult life (and have always thought of as normal and acceptable) have been alleviated.  I have always found all the team at Harmonious Healthcare to be very professional, whilst friendly.  Brian was genuinely concerned about my general health and well-being and eager to rectify it using Reflexology. Since visiting Harmonious Healthcare I have enjoyed my new feeling of inner and outer well-being.”      

G.H. - Chorley

Chronic Fatigue SyndromeReflexology

“six years ago in 1996, I was  diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, due to contracting the Glandular Fever Virus. After seeing the specialist for the last time, I was told there was nothing they could do to help me. I was left with the Fatigue, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and a destroyed immune system.  My active life as a sportsman was over, and I was devastated that this very active, energetic person was now a tired and ill person.  For the next four years I soldiered on. It was a nightmare, I was as tired in the morning as I was when I was going to bed, and my digestive system was a right mess (even after my doctor had prescribed many medicines).  In 2000, I met Brian Jeffery through work, and learned of his Reflexology and nutritional knowledge. I chatted to Brian and told him of my legacy and how each day was a bind and it was a victory to get to the end of my working day. Brian was just starting up Harmonious Healthcare and invited me for a session.  I arrived at the practice excited that somebody at last might be able to cure me but sceptical of how massaging someone’s feet can affect how a person feels, but hey, let’s give it a try!   Brian suggested I should try Aloe Vera for my IBS and take Bee Pollen and Bee Propolis to help my immune system. I was to find out later along the line just how important that suggestion was.  So to the first session. Feet up and off we go – I couldn’t believe it, everything that was showing up on my feet was connected to what I was told was wrong with me by the specialist, this was incredible! At the end of the session I felt light-headed and amazed at what

Brian was telling me. It was going to be a long road ahead but this was someone who I could reach out to, to make me better. For the first time in four years there was hope.  I started on the nutrients Brian had suggested and went to the practice every week for a year. Slowly but surely we started to peel back the layers of my illness and sort out one thing after another. Six months to cure my IBS (totally cured, couldn’t believe it), then my thyroid, adrenal glands, kidneys, the list was endless. After one year I felt better than I had felt for four years. The doctors couldn’t do anything and there was this guy with magical hands and nutritional information who was curing me week by week – INCREDIBLE!!  After the first year we sat down and talked about what we had achieved. The second year I went every two to three weeks   (more often when required) and that is what I’m doing to this day, feeling 70% better than when I first went, and would not be without Reflexology. It has given me the zest for life again that the medics couldn’t.  Thankyou BJ I owe my new lust for life to you!

Anxiety/Digestive Problems/Headaches/Fatigue/Stress - Reflexology

I have been treated by Mr. Jeffery for the past eighteen months after suffering from anxiety, stomach/digestion problems, headaches, fatigue and stress.  I had almost given up hope after visiting my doctors in excess of thirty times, who prescribed various different drugs, none of which helped me, and in some cases made me feel even worse.  I heard about Mr. Jeffery from a work colleague who spoke very highly of him and almost insisted I visit him for a consultation.  After suffering from these symptoms for over a year, I thought there was nothing that could be done to help me, I had even had appointments with specialists at the hospitals and several tests carried out to no avail.  I thought I had nothing to lose and booked in to see Mr. Jeffery.

It is from this point with no exaggerations, that my life changed and I felt on the mend.  I was instantly taken back by Brian’s professionalism and the attention I received from him.  Even though this was a gradual process I started to feel better after just the third visit.  I also during the process came off ALL medication I had been put on previously and now lead the same quality of life I did before all my problems started.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Brian Jeffery to anyone and think the work he undertakes is nothing less than a miracle.  I am now looking forward to living a normal life once again and my most sincere thanks goes to Brian Jeffery who made it possible for me to be able to do this.

Regards

S.H. – Preston

Reflexology and Pregnancy

For all you women out there who think having reflexology during pregnancy isn’t safe – then think again!

At the age of 45 I certainly did not expect to be in the position of having my fourth child nineteen years after having my third.

Brian Jeffery treated me pre-conception, during the first few days, weeks and months on a regular weekly basis all with no adverse affects whatsoever;  and on the 19th October 2003 (the expected delivery date), I gave birth to a very healthy 7lb 6oz baby daughter.

Before I go any further, I feel it right and proper to mention that Brian is in fact my partner and the father of Georgina.

I had a trouble free pregnancy no morning sickness, no high blood pressure, yes I had swollen ankles but that was probably due to the fact that I worked up to five weeks before the birth, walking to and from work during the hot summer months.

On the 18th October I went into labour and Brian gave me reflexology with each contraction as pain relief. (He had attended a course on “Pre-Conception, Pregnancy and Childbirth the very same day!!) This worked extremely well and I only required pain relief of gas/air during the final half hour of my labour.

Georgina is now a healthy two and a half year old, who herself is treated with reflexology for teething pain; she also benefits from reflexology when she has not had a bowel motion (this usually takes effect within twenty minutes) she is most receptive to it - as of course, she was used to it whilst in the womb!

PM (Whittle-le-Woods)

April 2006 

Hip Pain/Sciatica

Shortly before Christmas 2006 I developed a (hip) problem which left me hardly able to walk and in great pain.  Numerous visits to the GP, plus two visits to hospital left the problem undiagnosed and still untreated.  Meanwhile, I am still unable to walk!  So as a last measure, I made an appointment with Brian.

I crawled in to his surgery and after just one treatment, I walked out!  Further treatments keeps the problem at bay.  I cannot speak highly enough of the treatment I have received from Brian and will not hesitate to recommend him to any one.

Once again, many thanks

DG (Chorley)

I have always had an interest in alternative therapies but I have always been quite sceptical in regards to the effectiveness of alternative medicine especially reflexology until Brian started treating me. I have had repetitive bouts of anxiety and depression throughout my life. I had been prescribed different drugs and had numerous counselling and psychological sessions with a wide range of mental health professionals with little or no success.

My first session with Brian was excellent and I felt the benefits straight away, I felt calm and my mind felt at peace. He was also very down to earth which made the session more relaxed and made me feel at ease.

Thanks to Brian I am now coming off my medication and feeling a lot calmer and enjoying life.
