Services
Reflexology
Reflexology at Gable Yard offers a full-body reset, easing tension and balancing hormones through targeted pressure on feet, hands, or face. This non-invasive treatment promotes deep relaxation, improves circulation, and supports recovery from stress, anxiety, and physical discomfort. Clients often report immediate relief from back pain, migraines, and insomnia, with sessions tailored to individual needs through initial consultations.
Maternity Reflexology
Specially designed for expectant mothers, Maternity Reflexology provides gentle support from 12 weeks onwards. It alleviates common pregnancy symptoms like anxiety, fluid retention, and pelvic pain while promoting hormonal balance. Postnatal sessions aid recovery, improve sleep, and support breastfeeding by stimulating prolactin and oxytocin. Treatments are conducted on a reclining couch, with options for foot or facial Reflexology to ensure comfort throughout pregnancy and beyond.
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, NLP, and hypnosis to address anxiety, phobias, and negative thought patterns. Sessions focus on future goals rather than past traumas, using guided relaxation to retrain the brain for lasting positive change. Clients benefit from a structured approach that builds confidence, reduces stress, and fosters emotional resilience without reliving painful experiences.
Zonefacelift
Zonefacelift merges facial Reflexology with Native American and Asian techniques to rejuvenate skin and reduce stress. By stimulating pressure points, it enhances collagen production, softens fine lines, and improves circulation for a natural lift. Clients experience visible results after one session, with courses of 12 treatments recommended for long-term benefits. The treatment leaves the face sculpted and the mind deeply relaxed.
Yoga Classes
Yoga at Gable Yard blends Jivamukti, Vinyasa, and Restorative styles to build strength, flexibility, and mental clarity. Classes are small and inclusive, catering to all experience levels with a focus on breathwork and mindful movement. Private sessions and outdoor garden practice options are available, complementing holistic therapies by reducing stress and enhancing overall well-being through physical and meditative balance.

I’m writing this whilst still enjoying a wellness ‘high’ having returned from an incredible treatment with Vicky. The deep tissue massage and reflexology combo were simply amazing and I was transformed from an upright, stressed mum to floating out of Vicky’s door! Vicky is everything you could ask for in a therapist: professional, super lovely, knowledgable and the best as what she does. Cannot recommend Gable Yard and Vicky enough. Thank you x

Thankyou again, for another wonderfully relaxing experience. Adding the hand massage before the reflexology 'main event' was a fantastic idea. I didn't realise how much stress and tension could be stored in my hands and how I've learned to 'just live' with the pain. Will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend

Vicky is amazing. I had my first treatment with her last week. It was heavenly and I've booked in again. I highly recommend her. I suffer with muscular pain in my back from my work. After one treatment, by back feels great. Really looking forward to my next appointment with her.

Since my first reflexology session last August, I've been hooked!! Vicky always makes you feel incredibly welcome and fantastically relaxed. The Reflexology Spa treatment i had last time was amazing! We all lead such hectic lives now that my appointments are a chance to put me first and to take some time out and I would highly recommend both Vicky and Reflexology.

A wonderful first treatment of reflexology in Vicky's super treatment room. She used a lovely scented balm on my feet and I came away feeling relaxed and nurtured despite arriving quite stressed! Vicky has a calming and empathic nature and you can tell she loves her work. Highly recommended.
