💚Modern life often keeps the body locked in a state of "fight or flight" where stress hormones remain elevated, muscles stay tense and restful sleep becomes elusive.
Over time, this can be detrimental to both our physical & mental wellbeing.
💚Clinical Reflexology provides a focused, evidence informed approach to help the nervous system move from its 'sympathetic' (fight or flight) to 'parasympathetic' (rest and digest) function.
💙 Supporting:
✅️ Noticeable stress reduction
✅️ Improved sleep quality
✅ Hormonal and nervous system balance
✅ Natural release of muscular tension
✅ Deep relaxation

Hello April 🌸 that was quick!!
A new month, new start … (hopefully some more sunshine) & a fresh opportunity to reset, rebalance and reconnect with your body.
I support women at all stages of their journey....from fertility and pregnancy, through to menopause and beyond... as well as those experiencing stress, anxiety, disrupted sleep & the effects of busy, demanding lives.
Whatever stage you’re in, your body is constantly working to find balance.
🩷But sometimes it needs the right support.
Clinical Reflexology is a powerful therapy to help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, ease tension and support the body’s natural ability to restore itself.
🩷This April, I invite you to slow things down..........
🩷To check in with how you’re really feeling......
🩷And give your mind & body the selfcare & attention it deserves.
You don’t have to push through or ignore what your body is telling you. Support is there. Small, consistent care can make a big difference 🌿
Have a wonderful April ! 😊🩷😊
Love Chrissy xx

What a beautiful day! 😊
Sunshine has a way of changing everything, doesn’t it? ☀️
As a Clinical Reflexologist, I see every day how much we all carry.... the stress, the busy minds, the constant “doing.” But today… the sun is shining, the air feels lighter and it’s a gentle reminder to pause, breathe and just 'be' for a moment.
Wherever you are, I’m sending a little love your way. Take a minute for yourself today ...step outside (even for 5mins), feel the warmth and let your body soften.
And just in case you haven’t been adequately informed lately, please consider this your official notification…
✨ Yes YOU are awesome. ✨
Don’t forget it.
Much love, Chrissy ❤️ xx

💛Happy Mother’s Day 💛
Being a Mum is one of the greatest joys of my life. Watching James & Alex grow from little boys into the incredible, strong, kind young men they are today has been such a gift. I treasure every laugh, cuddle and milestone along the way.
I also know today can be a tough one for many...whether you’re hoping to become a Mum, have lost someone, or are missing a loved one deeply. My heart is with you.❤️
Motherhood comes in many forms, and every story is precious. 💛
Much love, Chrissy x

Hi everyone, a very warm welcome to the Reflexology Studio.
My name is Chrissy Bonner MAR, MARR. I'm a Professional Reflexologist & Massage Therapist and I run my own practice in the beautiful village of Ogmore-By-Sea. I have been a passionate advocate of Reflexology for many years and it still amazes me how effective this ancient therapy is. I first discovered reflexology 20 years ago when I came across it during my pregnancy whilst looking for alternative relief from severe pelvic girdle pain. I was fascinated by this wonderful therapy and its results and it became my long term goal to find out more!
After a career working in the corporate world of finance, I eventually achieved my long held ambition to return to studying and train as a Complementary Therapist so I completely understand the stress of juggling work, family life (Mum to 2 boys) and maintaining that healthy balance. I have a particular passion for Women’s Health particularly Fertility, Maternity, Menstrual & hormonal issues and am proud to have completed post grad advanced training in these fields. I strive to achieve the best results for my clients, tailoring my treatments so that they bring maximum benefits to your life, whether you have a specific health problem, illness or just wish to enjoy the best possible levels of relaxation and well-being. The aim of my practice is to provide an opportunity for you to 'switch-off', de-stress and improve your sense of well-being. In this state sleep improves, our body's systems work more efficiently and we find we are able to cope much better. I always treat the “whole body” and as such will look at your lifestyle, diet and stress levels before providing a bespoke treatment. Areas that reflexology can help with include:
Stress, Anxiety and Depression, Sleep disorders, Digestive problems such as IBS or constipation, Fertility Issues/assisted conception, Maternity issues, PMS, Endometriosis, painful or heavy periods, PCOS, Fibroids, Menopausal symptoms, Headaches and migraine, teeth & jaw pain.
I am lucky to have been trained by some of the World’s most renowned Reflexologists including:
· Reproductive Reflexology Parts I & II - Trained by Barbara Scott, Author of “Reflexology for Fertility”, Chairman of the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists and one of Europe’s leading Fertility Practitioners.
· Maternity & Post Natal Reflexology - Trained by Sally Earlam (Head of Training & Education at the Association of Reflexologists and their Maternity Specialist.
· Facial Reflexology “The Bergman Method” - Trained personally by Ziggie Bergman at the London School of Reflexology.
· Post Grad Reflexology for Stress & Anxiety - Trained by Hagar Basis (Director London Reflexology Academy)
Membership of Professional Organisations: I am fully insured and a full member of the following organisations:
Association of Reflexologists (AOR)
Association of Reproductive Reflexologists (ARR)
Registed Complementary Therapist with the Federation of Ante Natal Educators (FEDANT)
Complementary Therapists Association (ChTHA)
Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT)
I am also a Professional Massage Therapist with post grad qualifications in Pregnancy Massage.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a healthy balance between mind, body and soul. Take care,
