and swedish massage IN NORFOLK

Hi, my name is Ali Rookes, thank you for visiting my website! 

I have always wanted to make a difference and to help people feel better. I was drawn to healing work, though it felt a bit of a pipe dream for many years due to my personal situation.  As mid-life beckoned, I finally took the plunge and bowed out of corporate life to pursue my dream. I am so glad that I did and I feel very privileged to be doing what I love and running my own therapy practice. 

I trained in Reflexology 10 years ago at the London School of Reflexology. I was taught by its Principal, Louise Keet, author of 'The Reflexology Bible'. She is a leading light in the reflexology world. I qualified after a year of intensive study and became a full Member of the Association of Reflexologists.  I have since added facial reflexology and Swedish massage to my holistic therapy skill set.

Reflexology remains a great passion of mine, and as my experience grew, I noticed that I could intuitively 'feel' the body's energy and that my hands grew very hot when I had an intention to heal someone. I went on to develop my healing ability and I initially trained in Usui Reiki (to Master/Teacher level) and then as a healer with Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary. Since moving to West Norfolk, I have become an accredited Spiritualist Healing Medium with the Spiritualists' National Union (SNU) alongside my partner Rob Tarry. We both do volunteer healing at the Norwich Spiritualists' Church.

Over the years, I became increasingly aware of the 'Mind, Body, Spirit' connection and how illness often manifests in the body in response to emotional and spiritual upset and distress. I therefore undertook training four years ago to become a professional hypnotherapist. I now offer hypnotherapy alongside my other therapies and am a registered hynotherapy practitioner, listed on the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR).
