About Me
Hi, I’m Camilla.
I love being able to take you out of your world for a little while, giving you the space and peace you need to relax. It’s the best feeling in the world for me to see you come into the studio tight and tense, and watch you leave relaxed and smiling.
I’ve worked in the beauty space for many years now. Despite my father’s hope I would follow in his footsteps and become a barrister, I found my passion in makeup at the age of 17. Due to personal circumstances I eventually I transitioned into the corporate world, where I would stay until 2002, when an accident left me with a badly broken leg and unable to work.
That’s when I discovered the more holistic side of wellness. As part of my recovery, I saw physiotherapists and a range of holistic therapists, all of whom helped bring my body back into balance and helped me walk again. Their treatments massively helped in my recovery process both physically and mentally, and I realised I wanted to help bring that relief to other people.
So I retrained as a holistic practitioner in 2004, and I haven’t looked back since! Now I see it as my job to help you be the best version of you possible – kind of like a director or a sports coach. I’m in the background to help you shine.
For the official bits, I’m a member of the Association of Reflexology and the Federation of Holistic Therapists, fully insured and experienced in all of the therapies I deliver. So you always know you’re in safe hands with me!
The Barefoot Philosophy
As Barefoot Therapies I strive to be a haven of holistic health and wellbeing. I have spent years expanding my knowledge and skills to provide each client with an oasis of peace, filled with soothing tones, pleasing aromas and an atmosphere of calm bliss.
I know how hectic daily life can be, and how difficult it is to carve out even the smallest amount of time for yourself. From the moment you step into my studio you will be encouraged to turn your phone off and leave your bags at the door, so that you can enjoy your treatment without any distractions. You’ll never feel rushed or stressed here – just calm, relaxed and well looked after.
I like to get to know every client who walks through my door before I even start a treatment. Understanding what makes you tick, and how your mind, body, spirit and lifestyle are affecting your wellbeing means I can help you get the most out of your treatment. Treating the whole person rather than individual parts is one of the foundational elements of my practice, helping restore balance and function within your body and mind. If you’re ever feeling off-balance or just a bit out of sorts, I have something that can help.
