THE WELL ROOMS

With Dawn Cottle MAR

Relax your way to better health

Welcome to The Well Rooms!

Let me treat you to a profoundly relaxing treatment tailored specifically to you.

My name is Dawn Cottle and I am a fully qualified and insured Reflexologist. I have met the requirements for full membership of the AOR (Association of Reflexologists) and abide by their code of practise and ethics. I am also a member of the C.N.H.C. (Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council).

Whether you simply need to unwind and create some ‘me time’, or have particular health issues, reflexology can help.

A little bit of luxury...

I aim to provide professional reflexology treatments- with a little bit of luxury!

Feel your tension melt away in my peaceful therapy room. Rest assured, there will only be one client on the premises at a time so you can avoid a busy salon atmosphere and revel in the tranquility.

My location is private and secluded, but still easily accessible off the main A264 at Felbridge, between Crawley and East Grinstead. I treat men, women and children from all over the surrounding area- Crawley Down, Turners Hill, Forest Row, Lingfield, Horley and Horsham for instance, are all in easy travelling distance. I can also arrange to do home visits where required.

Let me bring my experience to you

My compassionate approach will put you at ease from the very moment you step inside, so you can escape the stresses of everyday life.

I will help you to create a space in your day when your mind is not racing from one thing to the next and you can just focus on the here and now.

Lie back, close your eyes & forget everything for an hour

Reflexology is a gentle holistic therapy. It aims to bring about a sense of balance in body and mind.

Working primarily on the feet, but also face or hands, a luxurious massage and gentle pressure is applied. The Reflexology points used correspond to different body systems and areas and are used to bring about a sense of deep relaxation.

It can help to manage the effects of stress so that the mind and body are better able to cope and is a useful tool for improving health and well being.


I believe that Reflexology can be useful to all, at every stage of our lives.

“The system of reflexology is safe, yet extremely effective in many cases where other therapies have failed to bring results…I feel Reflexology is one of the real natural alternatives that can only make any other therapy better by its inclusion into any healing program.”

-Arthur Lincoln Pauls, Doctor of Osteopathy

Children

Children’s reflexology sessions can be incredibly soothing and calming. I have given short gentle treatments to children dealing with anxiety, sleep and digestive issues, ADHD and ASD. It is widely believed that immune issues such as asthma and eczema can be exacerbated by stress. Many children love the feeling of contentment that reflexology can bring, and I can teach parents some simple techniques they can use at home between treatments. These can work amazingly well when incorporated into a bedtime routine.

Adolescents

Many young people will benefit from a little extra support through this major transformation. Through treatments and relaxation techniques teenagers can be helped to cope better with their changing hormones, with exam stress and with regulating sleep patterns which can help concentration at school. Our current cohort of young people have experienced a great deal of fear and upheaval in their lives having lived through the COVID lockdowns. Its no wonder many are presenting with poor mood and low energy. Extra stress can result in acne flare-ups, headaches, sleep disturbances and low immune system. Let reflexology help them on their return to normality and to stay healthy.

Conception

Reflexology is often a last resort for couples trying to conceive, but most then wish they had tried it sooner! Relaxing treatments can be incredibly helpful for couples.

Pregnancy

Reflexology is fantastic during pregnancy! It can help expectant mothers to find a little calm. It can help to prepare the body for the birth, and thus reduce labour times, and also relieve any anxiety over the upcoming birth. I treat from 12 weeks right through to labour (if required!).

Postnatally

New mothers need a little ‘me time’, even if baby joins them for the treatment, it is often so soothing that baby will relax too. It is so important for new mums to take this time to focus on their own health and well-being, to recover from the birth and to cope in this new and busy phase of their lives.

Throughout adulthood

Stress in the workplace and busy home lives are commonplace. Whilst it is impossible to eliminate stress completely, we do need to limit its damaging effects on mind and body. Regular treatments can help us to carve out time for ourselves and to take back control of our health and wellbeing. Let’s not forget that even perfectly healthy adults can still benefit from a time to pause, de stress and be the best version of themselves!

Menopause

During this major life change, many women find that reflexology can offer that bit of extra support they need at this time. Whether it's to help them relax and therefore cope better as they deal with specific symptoms. Treatments will be specifically targeted to your needs, and leave you feeling a little more like yourself again!

Older adults

The power of positive touch should never be underestimated and can be especially important as we get older. I see clients who really enjoy the nurturing touch of this ‘hands on’ therapy and find it a high point in their week, particularly those who live alone. Seeing your fitness levels gradually decline can be a lonely and emotional process, but reflexology can really give a mental and physical boost. I see clients living with arthritis, pain, poor circulation and low mood with the aim of improving their general wellbeing. It can also be incredibly reassuring for family members who naturally worry about the health of their loved ones, to know that they are regularly seeing a caring therapist. I can arrange regular home visits to those who would benefit from treatment but cannot travel to me.

Post-operatively

Therapeutic touch and emotional release can help patients come to terms with the emotional trauma of surgery, particularly when it has lasting impact on appearance or fertility for example. General reflexology sessions post op can greatly speed your recovery and return to health and wellness.

Long-term illnesses

Reflexology should never be used instead of medical treatment, but can almost always improve quality of life alongside it. Reflexology can work really well alongside conventional medical treatment and can support clients outside their medical appointments. Many patients feel adrift after conventional treatments have ended, or may be struggling with the side effects of medication, along with a plethora of other symptoms. It can become a very complicated web for doctors to unravel as they seek to treat each symptom. Reflexology treats the whole person, holistically; mind, body, and spirit. It can improve the quality of sleep which in itself allows your body to heal, and it can also allow you the time and safe environment to come to terms with the emotional toll of long-term illness.

Cancer

Due to its gentle, non-invasive, nature Reflexology is one if the preferred complementary therapies foe clients living with cancer and for those suffering side effects of their treatment. Positive therapeutic touch can help patients come to terms with any surgery they may need, or appearance altering treatment. I can provide that safe and caring space for you to focus on yourself, without worrying about upsetting family members who may have found your diagnosis almost as difficult as you! My cancer clients often refer family members to me as caring can be hard too!

I also work voluntarily at Olive Tree Cancer Support Centre at Crawley Hospital, treating patients living with cancer.

Palliative Care

Reflexology is ideal as it is such a soothing and gentle therapy and can be carried out anywhere without having to move the patient. I only need access to feet or hands to have a positive impact on quality of life. Reflexology can help to calm a frightened patient and improve their wellbeing.

“The body is a marvellous tool, endowed by nature with all kinds of protective mechanisms. A great many negative factors are required to throw it out of order. But there are times when only one is needed to bring about profound illness, simply because it carries with it a large enough emotional discharge - from something experienced in isolation and impossible to verbalise.”

-Martine Faure, Alderson, D.O., Total Reflexology
