"The highlight of my week!"

Sessions & Fees

Treatments take place at my Studio in North Finchley N12 or at Life by Margot in Crouch End, London N8. Home visits can also be arranged in North London.

At Sanctuary Reflexology the first consultation will take longer than standard treatments, usually 75 minutes, as we discuss your health and medical history to design an individual programme specifically for you. 

The effects of reflexology can be cumulative, although for most people, some of the benefits of reflexology will be immediate, Standard treatments will usually last 60 minutes, although treatments for children and those in care or seriously ill, will usually be shorter. Please contact me if you have any questions about this. Please scroll down for more details about my treatments.

Reflexology

"The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art."

(Leonardo da Vinci)

Manuela Gonnermann reflexologist

Reflexology is a natural and gentle treatment that will support your physical, mental, and emotional health. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs. Based on the principle that reflex points on the feet and/or hands correspond with different regions of the body, reflexology will support the body’s own natural healing processes to achieve optimum health.

Using fingers and thumbs to stimulate the nerves, reflexology can help improve circulation, reduce inflammation, improve the body's response to stress, improve sleep and promote a state of relaxation and balance.

When your body is truly balanced, you give your body and mind the best chance to recover from illness or stress. Treatments can transform your outlook on life and help you feel better about yourself and the world.

I am devoted to combining traditional with modern techniques to support you throughout your wellness journey. As an alternative to foot reflexology, I offer hand reflexology and face reflexology or a combination of any.

Advanced Facial Reflexology

Facial reflexology is a highly effective treatment whose intention is to support the body’s own natural healing process, releasing tensions in the face, reducing stress and anxiety and increasing muscle tone in the face. My clients have reported after this treatment, that they feel spiritually lifted, extremely relaxed, energised and invigorated and the condition of their skin has improved.


In this treatment, I use an uplifting and gentle Elixir Serum which is infused with Amethyst Crystal, White Poppy Seed Oil and Native American Healing Herbs.

My Facial Reflexology treatment draws on a combination of Native American techniques, Indian Head Massage and Asian body maps. It is the only facial reflexology method based on “Zone Therapy” which is used in foot and hand reflexology and was created by Dr William Fitzgerald.

Working the face can be extremely powerful and effective as the face holds many stories of an individual’s emotional past and present, During facial reflexology, I combine gentle massaging techniques with the application of gentle pressure to specific reflex points on the face. This treatment awakens facial nerves, muscles and tissues, which in turn helps release emotional and physical tension.

Hormone & Menopause Health

Solar plexus reflexology

I offer a programme of specialist treatments specifically focussed on supporting women on their hormonal journey. These treatments are uplifting and gentle, helping you to deepen your connection with your body, and achieve a sense of overall wellbeing and balance.


You have the option of enjoying a standalone treatment or you can experience the full benefits of a 10 week programme. The complete programme consists of a course of treatments, which can be taken at intervals and at a time that suits you.

Each individual session is specifically designed, taking into consideration your current state of health, your goals and lifestyle; to ensure that the outcome is effective and long lasting. I will also give you clear, simple, actionable advice to support you on your wellness journey.

The menopause programme is suitable for clients who are perimenopausal or menopausal and are struggling with menopausal symptoms, or just looking to find a way to achieve balance. It is also suitable for those who choose to take HRT as well as those who don’t. Either way Sanctuary Reflexology will support you and look after you in your journey to good health.

Reflexology is a gentle complementary therapy and should not replace any medical advice from your practitioner.

Pregnancy and Maternity

Regular Reflexology is extremely effective in supporting women through all stages of pregnancy.

Anxiety is a common experience during pregnancy, often stemming from worries about the health of both mother and baby, adapting to physical changes, dealing with fatigue and poor sleep, and balancing work with low energy levels. The fear of going into labour and concerns about what happens after the baby is born, can also contribute to heightened stress. Ongoing anxiety can intensify many of the physical discomforts of pregnancy, including fatigue, insomnia, swollen limbs, nausea, digestive issues, heartburn, and pelvic or back pain.

For many of my clients reflexology offers significant relief. Effective reflexology helps calm the nervous system, reduces tension, improves circulation, and supports pain relief, fostering an environment of optimal health for both mother and baby.

Postpartum reflexology is also beneficial in many ways for new mothers. Reflexology can help improve the quality of sleep, reduce anxiety as well as stimulate the lymphatics, helping the body eliminate excess fluid that was stored in preparation for birth. It also supports improved blood circulation, which is especially important for recovery after delivery, including post-operative healing.

Reflexology does not replace traditional medicine and you should always consult your GP or midwife if you have any medical concerns.

Zone Face Lift

This treatment if offered in Finchley. Zone Face Lift is a unique, spiritually lifting and restorative treatment designed to stimulate the senses by combining traditional reflexology methods with ancient healing techniques from Native American Shamans.

It’s intention is to help activate each person’s Natural healing processes as well as restore their physical and emotional well-being. The treatment combines Facial Reflexology with a stimulating Japanese massage, working pressure points to blood flow and tighten, plump, and sculpt the face, jaw, and neckline.

In the studio I use organic anti-ageing ingredients and hot towels to steam and cleanse the face. I also work with selected sculpting tools including stones found in locations with which I have a deep connection, rose quartz crystals, or the Gua Sha originating in Ancient China. These tools can be used to encourage the lymphatics to release blockages and tension.

The treatment is quite special. Many people find the Zone Face Lift experience extremely transformative both physically and emotionally. The results of the treatment will leave you feeling energised and relaxed, and your skin will have a healthy glow. Each individual treatment is different and tailored to your individual needs. To understand the full benefits of Zone Face Lift I recommend booking a course of 6 or 12 treatments. Please contact me for further details if you have questions.

Reflexology at Work

Offering Reflexology in the workplace is a great way for an employer to demonstrate their commitment to employee health. Studies have shown that Reflexology workshops can improve general staff wellbeing and as a result, contribute towards a reduction in absenteeism and an increase in employee satisfaction.

I can arrange a tailor-made package to suit your work environment, your employees and your company, offering 20-minute hand or foot reflexology sessions. All you would need to provide is a quiet private space for treatments. The recipient would remain fully clothed throughout the session.

Please use the contact form for enquiries.

Reflexology in Nursing and Care Settings

Reflexology can be extremely effective in treating patients in care and nursing home settings, helping them feel better and improving their quality of life. Treatments are gentle, non-invasive, have no serious adverse side effects, and can be embedded into existing care plans. With reflexology, the hands and feet are gently stimulated to trigger a self-healing response in specific parts of the body. The body has an immense capacity for healing, given the right support and impetus..

The reflexology treatment can be conducted on the hands or feet, with the patient sitting or reclining in different positions depending on their needs and preferences. There is no requirement to remove clothing, apart from shoes and socks if reflexology is conducted on the feet. Each treatment generally lasts between 20-and 60 minutes based on individual preference and circumstance.

As a member of the AOR (Association of Reflexology) and CHNC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council) you can be sure treatments adhere to professional standards. I would only treat patients with full knowledge and understanding of their medical history and medication, as well as an understanding of their mental, physical, and emotional health. Any findings as a result of the treatment would always be fed back to the relevant professional.

Patients can also be shown a number of self-help applications that they can do on their own hands, which will give them the tools to help ease any specific pain they might have or to help them sleep.
