Welcome to HR Aromatic Reflexology
About Me
My name is Hannalise Robinson and I am a fully qualified and insured Reflexologist based in Romford. I also see clients from the surrounding areas of Hornchurch, Upminster, Harold Hill, Gidea Park and Harold Wood.
I can remember the first time I smelled the refreshing lemony aroma of Lemon verbena, as I played in my grandmother’s back garden as a young girl in South Africa and how fascinated I was when the lemony scent intensified when I crushed the leaves between my fingers. Unbeknownst to me then, it would set me on the path of Aromatherapy and later Reflexology.
I studied Holistic Therapies at Havering Collage in 2007, but had to wait a few years looking after my two young children before I could get stuck into the wonderful world of aromatic essential oils and the balancing effect of Reflexology.
In 2015 I studied Clinical Aromatherapy at The Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine & Aromatherapy at Regent’s University in London and in 2016 I studied Reflexology at the London School of Reflexology also based at Regent’s University.
In my practice, I combine these two holistic modalities to create Aromatic Reflexology - which is a hands-on technique incorporating the balancing touch of Reflexology, with the healing properties of carefully chosen essential oils. It is a safe, natural therapy that relaxes, balances and harmonies the mind and body. I have continued my studies and developed a great passion for women's health, especially peri-menopause, menopause and all the symptoms that women develop during this transition period in their lives e.g. insomnia, brain fog, muscular aches and pains, anxiety and stress.

What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is based on the idea that the whole body with its systems, organs and structures are mapped out on the feet, hands, and face.
Each of these organs, structures and systems in the body is linked to the feet by energy channels or meridians.
So, when our physical and emotional well-being is compromised by illness or stress the meridians become congested.
Applying gentle pressure to specific points on your feet can help restore the free flow of energy and can restore the body to its natural state of health and well-being.
My Other Services
Aromatherapy
Tis the use of plant extracts known as essential oils. These oils are obtained from the leaves, bark, flowers, peel and seeds of plants through either distillation or expression. The tiny aromatic molecules of essential oils enter the body either through the nose or via skin absorption. Therapeutic Aromatic Massage can greatly enhance physical and emotional health. It may help manage anxiety, ease digestion, boost relaxation, improve mood, and relieve menstrual and menopausal symptoms, among other benefits.
Acupressure Face Therapy
This treatment aims to relieve muscle tension in the face and clear stagnant lymphatics, it will improve skin health and muscle tone and have the added benefit of working on acupressure points in the face that will benefit the rest of the body. I will formulate a bespoke blend of carrier & essential oils to benefit your skin & well-being.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot stones are typically basalt or volcanic stones. The smooth, hot (warm) stones are moved in long smooth movements over the back, neck & shoulders the stones are also placed on certain areas of the back to provide heat therapy to the muscles.
Benefits - Improve sleep, alleviate symptoms of stress & anxiety, relieve muscular aches and pains, and improve circulation.
