What Patients say about Treatments with Rita

"I have had a real fear of flying for several years since an extremely turbulent flight. From the time of booking a holiday I am pre-occupied with the flight suffering sleeplessness and overwhelming thoughts.  The flight is spent gripping the seat with a total inability to relax. Once I am there I generally spend the whole week worrying about the flight back.

I visited Rita who said that she could help this with TFT, so, after one session and some simple exercises to take home, amazingly, I flew on holiday with a totally different mindset. I didn't experience any of the previous panic and nausea in the airport or on the plane and didn't give it thought whilst I was there.  It was as though the thought pattern had been lifted away from me. I felt totally calm throughout my time away enabling me to have a really enjoyable holiday.
I thoroughly recommend this for anyone who is scared of flying ... I was amazed!"

I have been visiting Rita for many years now for Indian head massage which is of great benefit to me. As a result of one of our many heart to hearts she suggested that I may benefit from TFT to help with the anxiety that I feel in certain social situations and when I have to drive my car. After just one session for each of these things my anxious feelings are under control and, although it has not changed me into the confident person that I certainly am not!, I am not distressed with the physical and emotional stress that I used to feel.

For this I am really greatful to Rita, Thank you.

"Rita suggested I try Thought Field Therapy as I suffered anxiety when entering lifts, being shut in a small darkened room or when anything was put over my face. Whilst having the therapy I could feel the anxiety being taken away from my body – it was an amazing feeling! I have since been entering lifts without any problems. I have also had a facial recently that involved fine gauze being placed over my face, which was the one thing in particular I had thought would still be a problem.

Although I was a little apprehensive at first I need not have worried as the facial went very well and without the anxiety expected.

I am so delighted Rita recommended TFT to me as I had not heard of it before. I would certainly recommend it to others as it has helped me so very much."

"My wife & I were going to visit friends in Australia and were not looking forward to the journey or the jetlag problems when we got there. We heard about TFT and found out the tapping sequences we needed to do to combat this.

Every waking hour on the flight we did our tapping and were thrilled to arrive and find we suffered no jetlag at all. We had a different sequence for travelling in the opposite direction for our return home and this too had the same result. Fantastic."

"I first saw Rita in July 2000, as for a number of years, I had been suffering with migraines every couple of months or so, which made me feel so unwell for two days each time and meant I was having to take time off work. I had consulted my doctor who had prescribed a number of different drugs, the last one helped with the pain, but none of them stopped the migraines. I was not happy to continue taking drugs and time off work, so tried food intolerance testing, herbal remedies and abstaining from the usual suspect trigger foods, to no avail. I then decided to try reflexology. Someone told me of Rita who was setting up her practice, so I made an appointment to see her. One of my better life decisions - I now see Rita about every six weeks to keep everything in balance and apart from a slight migraine in January 2001 I have not had a migraine since. Thank you Rita."

"For many years I had a nagging pain in my left heel. Despite many visits to my doctor I was unable to receive any help with the diagnosis of the problem. In frustration I eventually thought I would try a reflexologist who practiced in the same natural health centre as my chiropractor.

This is when I first met Rita. After my initial consultation I found she immediately put me at ease. She is a lovely lady, very kind, helpful and understanding of my problem. After a few sessions with Rita, I found my nagging pain in the heel had completely gone away. I now go just once a month which prevents the symptoms from returning. These monthly treatments are such a relaxing experience, to the extent that I even occasionally fall asleep!

It is down to Rita that I am now able to fulfil my hobby of walking, culminating in me completing a 20 mile sponsored walk over the Derby Dales in aid of the MacMillan Nurses Appeal."

"I met Rita in 2003 having been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Rita’s many years of experience as a Reflexologist are reflected in her sessions. She is knowledgeable, professional and her gentle, caring approach to her work has greatly enhanced my own healing.

I have a session once a month with huge benefit. Rita’s treatment relieves stress and tension, enables me to sleep soundly, revitalises and maintains my energy levels and leaves me with an overall feeling of well being. During my chemotherapy, I found it alleviated the fatigue and sickness and my cell counts were never a problem, remaining at high levels throughout.

Despite extensive lymph node involvement I achieved an unexpected three and a half year remission. Rita’s extensive knowledge has been invaluable in keeping my body in a state of balance and harmony, enabling me to address health issues before they surface. Once again I sailed through major surgery and further chemotherapy without complication. Despite being warned about lymphoedema, I have never suffered with swelling of my limbs.

The mind is a powerful aid to healing and recovery, and reflexology, with all its benefits, helps me to maintain a positive outlook. If you have not tried it I would highly recommend Rita. Rita’s gentle approach is extremely relaxing and you’ll be amazed at how much better you feel. I count myself very fortunate to have been introduced to her  and also to have her as the valued friend that she has become."

"I have been having Reflexology and Indian Head Massage treatments from Rita for nearly eight years for a variety of conditions.

I have found Reflexology especially helpful in ‘de-stressing’ me, in times of problems, which has also helped me to sleep better.  Rita has also helped “balance” my digestive system and relieve my IBS symptoms.

By using her skill as a reflexologist, Rita always knows when my shoulder is playing up and once detected a knee problem.

I have also experienced Indian Head Massage, which is very relaxing and gets rid of headaches.   From doing this Rita has advised me on occasions when I should seek chiropractic treatment.

Now that I have been having these treatments for quite a while I really feel Rita knows me and how to help.  I look forward to having a treatment and the feeling of well-being afterwards.  My family say that I “float” home."

"I have been visiting Rita for Indian Head Massage for about 5 years now.

As someone that finds it very difficult to relax, Rita has made a huge difference to me during stressful times in my life.

Her warm hands, gentle touch and quiet voice, together with her collection of calming music have helped me to reach a complete state of relaxation. This very valuable “me time” is wonderful and Rita has made me realise that looking after yourself benefits the whole family, as you are in a better frame of mind to look after them.

I have also benefitted from Rita in a physical way. Having seen me regularly for a number of years, she was able to give me a push to see my doctor when she noticed a change in my pulse rate. I was then diagnosed with an over-active thyroid, for which I am successfully being treated. Although, in hindsight, I realise that I was not feeling well, I had convinced myself that my symptoms were due to my age and so if not for Rita I would probably not have seen my doctor about it for a while longer.

I now regard Rita as a friend as well as a Health Practitioner.

Many thanks to you, Rita."

"I have been attending Indian Head Massage sessions with Rita New for well over a year now. She was recommended to me by a friend, who I knew I suffered from regular and prolonged headaches, and who suggested head massage might help. As a result of the half hourly treatments, which I have approximately every 3-4 weeks, the headaches have almost disappeared and never return with anything like the severity of before. In addition, I also feel more relaxed generally.

Rita is highly professional in her approach. A typical half hour appointment consists of a short chat about the time since we last met, a 20-25 minute treatment, which is extremely gentle and accompanied by music. I have found it very therapeutic and I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. As a Headteacher, I, like many people in other professions, suffer a certain amount of stress and have genuinely found the head massages a very effective way of reducing and dealing with it. For all of these reasons, I would give Rita my highest recommendation."
