Naseem Akhtar

Naseem Akhtar was Born in England in a small town called Blackburn Lancashire. She had discovered a passion for reflexology during her studies for an HND in holistic therapies at Blackburn College, England (2003). During the HND she quickly learnt how beneficial touch therapies can be. Going through the pressures of being a mother and a wife she had not realised how much tension she was carrying and how she was extremely depleted.

Naseem had her own personal experience with holistic therapies. She states during her course in Blackburn her tutor was giving a demonstration on massage movements and reflexology. She happened to be the guinea pig for the class. During this the tutor had picked up on many tension areas particularly during reflexology. She had not mentioned anything at the time to the tutor about the pressures she was under as a wife.

Naseem states that the following morning she could not get out of bed and felt ill. This was her first massage and reflexology which made her confused as she had never felt this way before and decided to call her tutor. Naseem was explained about the contradictions, and she seemed to have most of them which included: feeling dizzy, weak, light headed as well as boils that had erupted on her face. She was told this was because she was out of balance and that by working on her whole body it had brought everything out to the surface. She was certainly amazed after hearing this. After three days she felt revitalised and almost like a new person. Having experienced this, it made her fall in love with Reflexology and touch therapies.

Having moved to Edinburgh as a single parent with 3 children and a HND in holistic therapies, Naseem now wanted to pursue a career in this field. She states” I knew I wanted everyone to experience these touch therapies”. She then went on to graduate from Napier University, Edinburgh (2006) with a BSc in complementary therapies, specialising in reflexology on the face, feet and hands and went on to practice this for 15 years.

Reflexology is based on the Zone theory and meridian lines. It involves the application of specific types of pressure and manipulation to points on the feet. These reflexology points relate to the internal organs of the body in such a way that the body can be mapped directly onto the feet. Similar principles apply to the hands and face. She further gained a diploma in hot stone and bamboo massage in 2015.

Naseem realised clients benefited from face reflexology in many more ways than health issues. The feedback she had got was that clients’ faces looked less stressful and it gave them a fresh look and some suggested it made them look younger. She was happy to hear the added benefits they had experienced even after only one session of a zone reflexology and loved this natural approach. This made her carry out further research into the zone theory and was interested in looking to find a natural therapy to enhance beauty – the idea was to have a facial facelift without needles. She looked into this zone theory reflexology by using the same principle as working with meridian lines. With her delight she came across a course called Zone facelift offered by the founder Ziggie Bergmon. Reading about the full course and using movements of reflexology it all made sense to Naseem, and how she would be able to easily incorporate this within her therapies.

It was described as a “magical facial treatment combined with ancient and modern techniques such as Bergman Method using Facial Reflexology, and applying Japanese Facelift Massage, alongside using tools GuaSha Quartz Crystals, acupressure tool, Quartz roller and Facial Cupping along with Native American healing herbs. Renowned for removing as much as 10 years of aging over a 12-week programme, Zone Face Lift can eliminate the need for Botox and offers a natural alternative to dermal fillers. It’s all about ageing well and naturally”.

This facial zonelift treatment, naturally stimulates collagen and elastin from the inside, tightens, plumps, sculpts the neck line, smooths and lifts the face, leaving a glowing complexion after just one treatment. In addition, this programme helps to release emotions held in the face, leaving you looking softer, happier and calm
