Testimonial - Caring for the Unpaid Carer

I hadn’t realised just how much I’d been carrying until I sat down with Jane.

As an unpaid carer for my husband, who is living with dementia, my days are often full of responsibility, worry, and very little time to think about myself. It can feel isolating at times, and I’ve grown used to putting my own needs to one side.

From the moment I met Jane, though, I felt I was in a safe, understanding space.

Before the reflexology treatment even began, she took the time to gently talk with me about my caring role. I found myself opening up in a way I hadn’t expected. She listened without judgment and offered thoughtful, practical advice that made me feel seen and supported—not just as a carer, but as a person.

The reflexology treatment itself was deeply relaxing.

As someone who is always “on alert,” it was such a relief to properly switch off, even if just for a while. I could feel the tension leaving my body, and for the first time in a long time, my mind felt calm and still.

After the 90 minute session, I felt lighter—both physically and emotionally. I left not only refreshed, but reassured that I’m not alone in this journey.

Jane gave me a sense of calm and strength that stayed with me long afterwards.

I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in a caring role. That time, that space, and that understanding made more of a difference than I can fully put into words.
