Maternity Reflexology:
"I first visited Meriel as I had been trying to conceive my first baby
for some 22 months but to no avail. The first session was very relaxed,
she took a detailed history and asked if there was anything in particular
that I would like her to concentrate on. I was quite apprehensive to start
with but Meriel was quick to put me at ease. Once the reflexology itself
started I couldn't believe how nice and relaxing it was! I went home feeling
the most relaxed I'd been in years!! Lo and behold, 3 weeks later and I've
just found out that I'm pregnant!! I have no doubt that the session with
Meriel had something to do with me conceiving. I'll certainly be visiting
her later in the pregnancy!!"

"I had reflexology by Meriel Younger done during months 4-7 (before I returned to Canada) of my pregnancy and it was such a great way for me to relax as well as giving me an emotional and physical energy boost. I had the treatment done every week pretty much and found it extremely beneficial as I was going through a very stressful time in my life. In fact, it was during one of Meriel's treatments that I first felt my baby kick! I cannot say enough about the benefits of reflexology and the comfort and ease of having the treatment done, as you can get it right up until your baby is born. I can also say tht Meriel is one of the best Reflexologists I have ever been to, and have not been able to find someone as good yet!"

"Meriel Younger has been my Reflexologist for over a year now. I started going to her for reflexology to try to help me conceive as I had been having problems. I then found out I was pregnant and went to her once a month for the first seven months and then every fortnight until I went weekly right at the end. I found the treatments totally beneficial and it certainly helped my morning sickness during the first few months. She also helped balance my hormones and I just generally found the sessions so relaxing and a total enjoyment." A, Edinburgh.
"I visited Meriel for ante-natal reflexology during the latter stages of pregnancy and would thoroughly recommend her treatment for mothers to be. I am convinced that her "priming" techniques helped my baby and my body gear up for labour, which occurred only 3 days after the due date with no need for medical intervention. Not only did I have a problem-free (and relatively pain free) labour, but I also felt wonderfully relaxed in the run up to child-birth which undoubtedly had benefits for pregnancy, labour and the first somewhat stressful weeks of mother-hood. It was also great for sorting out my swollen feet!!" F in Edinburgh
“I have been attending prenatal reflexology sessions for the past few months and it's pure bliss - a total relaxation for mind, body and feet! I really look forward to my sessions and hope to continue with regular reflexology appointments after the baby is born.” L in Edinburgh
“I had Reflexology with Meriel when I was pregnant, and as well as other aches and pains, Meriel was able to relieve the lower back pain so common during pregnancy. AND sitting comfortably for an hour chatting to Meriel while she worked her magic was a great escape from moving house and a hectic work schedule - I always felt extremely relaxed afterwards, and then energised the next day. I would recommend the treatment to anyone - pregnant or not.” S in Edinburgh
“I attended Meriel for 'me' time during my pregnancy. I had regular reflexology sessions throughout which always helped ease my pregnancy niggles of sluggish digestion and back pain. At the end of a session I was always left with a real sense of well-being which could only be good for the baby. I also tried some pregnancy massage with Meriel which also resulted in deep relaxation, working away any tensions that had developed in places I never thought it could e.g. hips, pelvis. Meriel is very intuitive and helpful, she would ensure she worked on any areas that were problematic and also helped with great advice and contacts in line with my pregnancy. I would not hesitate to recommend Meriel’s healing touch.” K in Edinburgh
“I had one appointment with Meriel for maternity reflexology, specifically for infertility. It was the most relaxing hour I've had in a long time, and the results.....a baby due in October!! I can't recommend Meriel enough!!!” A in Edinburgh
Reflexology:
"My doctor recommended reflexology to me, after I had suffered for months with insomnia. I had tried various other remedies, from hot baths to aroma therapy oils to sleeping tablets, but with no luck. I was a bit dubious about reflexology in the beginning. I couldn't see that I would feel any benefit from having my feet rubbed, and it all seemed a bit hocus-pocus to me. However, I was desperate so I made an appointment. I spoke briefly with Meriel about my insomnia, and within minutes I was on the table, shoes off and still feeling a bit dubious. That feeling disappeared soon after as, for the first time in months, I felt myself actually relax. It was wonderful. Within about 20 minutes I was asleep.
"I don't understand the science behind relfexology, but I definitely believe it to be beneficial. Not only has it helped no end with my lack of sleep, but it allows me to relax and drift away, and gives me a feeling of calmness afterwards. Reflexology has definitely helped me regain a normal sleep pattern, and has relieved a lot of the everyday stress and anxiety that I didn't realise I was carrying around. I feel lighter, happier and more balanced.
"I have, and will continue to recommend Meriel to anyone who wants to relax and unwind."

“Meriel has been giving me Reflexology for six months now and it has been fantastic. I look forward to every session and if I could I would go every day! Reflexology has made a huge impact on my health and well being. I have seen real results and will be forever grateful.” A in Edinburgh
"My goal was to really relax and after only a couple of sessions with Meriel I felt a totally chilled mood wash over me which lasted well after the treatment. In my case I am having a course of reflexology but it is not only the actual treatment that is having such a positive effect it is Meriel's style that creates such a wonderful result. I can't recommend her enough!" P in Edinburgh
“I have been going to see Meriel for reflexology for the past 3 years. She has always found out any slight niggling problems that I may of had in my body, just by touching my feet. She has then worked on these specific areas pressure points and others, helping me feel altogether better and healthier. I look forward to my visits to headandfoot and just wish that I could go more often.” L in Edinburgh

I have a very high degree of confidence in Meriel and would recommend her unreservedly.” B in Edinburgh
Holistic Massage:

I highly recommend Meriel as an excellent massage therapist and always look forward to the state of utter relaxation after a session." N in Edinburgh.

“Having been in agony for a number of weeks I was recommended Meriel's services to assist in easing some sever lower back pain. The treatment released all the tension in my lower back and subsequently the pain eased. With continued stretching as per Meriel's instructions I soon returned to normal activities. I highly recommend Meriel, even after an hour of well invested time and money I felt like a renewed man let alone relaxed for the first time in a long time.” N in Edinburgh
“Meriel's massages are magnificently marvellous!” M in Edinburgh
“Having visited many massage therapists over the years in an attempt to sort tension in my shoulders and back… Meriel is by far the best. Meriel has restored my muscles to a normal pain free function in 1 session that most therapists couldn’t do in 6!” T in Edinburgh
"I saw Meriel over a period of time when I was in a great deal of back pain after the birth of my son.
The treatment really helped to stop the painful spasm episodes and release tension. Meriel was very caring, reassuring and intuitive therefore I would have no hesitation recommending her."

Pregnancy Massage
“I have found the massages I have received from Meriel whilst pregnant have greatly helped alleviate many of my physical niggles as well as improve my mood and my anxiety. Meriel is always warm and concerned about your well being and I always look forward to the 'time out' these massages have offered me in what has been, at times, a stressful pregnancy.” H in Edinburgh
“I visited Meriel for pregnancy massage in the last few months of my pregnancy and found the sessions fantastic. Knowing that most people have aches and pains during pregnancy I was amazed at what Meriel was able to achieve. I had increased mobility and flexibility after having the massages. The tension in my lower back and hips was becoming very painful but the massage helped and was also wonderfully relaxing for me.” N in the Borders
