My name is Manuela Gonnermann.
I'm a fully qualified and insured professional reflexologist, approved by the Association of Reflexologists and the Complementary and Natural Heathcare Council. Currently, I operate from two clinics in Finchley and Crouch End and offer a home visit service.
I am part of a team offering reflexology services to patients at University College Hospital in London, ranked in the top 10 globally in their field. It is great to see how complementary therapies are valued as a tool to support patients with chronic and acute health conditions as well as those before and after surgery.
My first experience of reflexology was when I was pregnant with my first child, suffering from back pain and mobility issues whilst also juggling the pressures of an extremely demanding career. My back pain eased after just one treatment, and I could immediately see the positive impact it had on my own physical and mental health. There began the start of my reflexology journey which continues today.
In my previous career, I spent many years working in the City and witnessed first-hand, how damaging stress, in all its forms, can be to our physical and mental health. It is extremely rewarding for me to be able to see how reflexology supports my clients and to see how they have benefitted from this therapy.
Reflexology offers a way to calm your mind and body and help you in your recovery from illness and stress. At Sanctuary Reflexology I offer you a private space to help you restore your physical and emotional balance.
I take an intuitive, holistic approach to my treatments. My clients comment on how my sessions have helped lift their spirits. and how they have seen a noticeable improvement in their physical and emotional health, skin, energy levels and sleep.
All treatments are confidential, and specifically designed to address your individual physical and emotional needs. I will make sure that you receive the approach that works best for you.
"Manuela is the ideal exponent; highly organised, professional and simultaneously sympathetic, warm, understanding and enthusiastic. I have weekly sessions which prove to be beneficial on many levels. As an enthusiast for life long learning I discover a new discipline at a late stage of my life. Concentration on feet (often ignored) is in itself a boost; Manuela though also works on the face and hands. I wish I had discovered Reflexology years ago. Manuela's sessions are both therapeutic and celebratory."

"I loved my reflexology treatment from Manuela. She made me feel comfortable and I was confident in her skills. Afterwards I felt more settled and relaxed than I ever could have imagined. I will definitely return for more as the first ones have been excellent."
Caroline
"I used Manuela’s mobile service 1-6 weeks post partum- it helped me in many different ways- with relaxation, digestion, lymphatic drainage. I really looked forward to our weekly sessions as she brings a really calming presence to my crazy busy newborn bubble. If you do not have anyone around to look after baby during the appointment you can have them on top of you- this is a lovely experience as I was so relaxed and content, so was my baby"
JC
"I have had a number of sessions with Manuela over the past few months and they have all been fantastic. I am pregnant and have suffered with anxiety for a number of years, each session has made me feel the most relaxed I have felt in a very long time, it has also improved the quality of my sleep. Manuela has taken care and consideration in explaining everything to me, I have enjoyed every minute of the treatment and couldn’t recommend her highly enough!"
Josie S
"Manuela has really helped me in coping with bereavement. Her calm, approachable nature combined with her strong skills make me feel calmer, more relaxed and taller!"
JP
"Manuela has provided me with a number of treatments over the past few months and I have thoroughly enjoyed them all. Our sessions started with her taking a full history from me and then each treatment after that has been tailored towards my specific requirements. Manuela has a great way of making you feel at ease and comfortable and you leave each session feeling incredibly relaxed and peaceful, I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for reflexology treatments."

"I found Manuela to be very professional and caring in her approach. She clearly explained at the first session what to expect and took a very careful medical history as I have some complex issues. She made sure I was comfortable and soothing music and sounds set the tone for a very relaxing experience. She has a natural empathy and calm approach, which is well suited to the treatment and I was able to completely unwind and, on one occasion, even dozed off! I have had several sessions and found them to be helpful in reducing stress and worries. I’ve now had a facial reflexology session in addition to those on the feet and found it to be just as soothing. You realise you had tensions you didn’t notice before and I floated out to continue my day!"

"I have had several reflexology sessions with Manuela and from the beginning I felt very comfortable and relaxed, she has very good touch which is deeply therapeutic. I always leave feeling deeply relaxed."
