Welcome to DG Holistic Therapies
My name is Daphne Gardner MAR, ITEC Dip, Reiki I&II, and I am a fully qualified and insured Complementary Therapist based in Orford, Suffolk. I work from a hidden retreat in my garden summer house, located on the outskirts of Orford and easily accessible from Aldeburgh, Woodbridge, Hollesley, Snape, Wickham Market and many local villages in the area. Free parking is available on-site.
Whether you are looking for support with an existing heath condition, want to reduce your day-to-day stress levels or would just like a little "me" time, my aim is to use my skills as a reflexologist to help you become happier, healthier and more relaxed, and sometimes more energised.
i have studied several complementary therapies and come back to reflexology time and again for my own well-being. I taught professional complementary therapy courses when I lived in Surrey and developed my own learning so that I now use reflexology techniques that combine healing energy with the thumb walking technique used by many reflexologist
I am a fully insured member of the Association of Reflexologists

Holistic Treatment
Holistic Treatment looks at the whole person rather than any specific disease or disorder that they may have. This does not mean that health conditions are ignored, but rather that the impact on a person's life is considered as a whole. The aim of complementary therapies is to create a state of harmony in both body and mind as far as possible for the individual.
Please note that no complementary therapy should be used as an alternative to seeking medical advice.
Health
The WHO (World Health Organisation) states that "good health is a state of complete, physical, social and mental well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".
While complementary therapies are not a cure for diseases they can be particularly helpful in managing many health conditions, especially constant or recurring ones that we might have come to accept over time as being a normal part of life. Feeling healthy or unhealthy is often about a person's own perception of their health.
Looking after our own well-being is an important part of staying healthy, happy and well-balanced. Reflexology, massage and/or Reiki can be helpful lifestyle choices alongside the use of conventional medicine.
Balance
What is balance?
Balance in a physical body like ours is known as Homeostasis. It is not a fixed state but rather is "a self-regulating process by which an organism tends to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are best for its
survival" (www.britannica.com)
Because it is not a fixed state there are lots of adjustments taking place at any one
time. Sometimes because of stress or health issues this balance can be challenging for the body to maintain.
Complementary therapies, such as reflexology and massage, try to help the body regain the best level of physical balance it can have, in the circumstances it is dealing with at any given time. This can also improve our mental and emotional balance as well.
