The reviews below are personal experiences from Sole n Soul Clients. I am a Complementary Therapist and as such work alongside any medical advice. I am not able to diagnose and would ask if you want a diagnosis to visit your GP.
'After suffering a stroke, I was left paralysed down my left side. To ease the pain in my shoulder, arm and leg on that side it was suggested that Holistic Therapy might help.
During my first appointment I relaxed so much I went to sleep and at the end I felt much better and for the first time in a long while I slept through the night. I realised the pain I was feeling was less intense and far more bearable.'

'It was obvious from the start of our reflexology treatments that Mel is very spiritual & uses this to enhance the overall treatment experience. she is very good at making you feel at ease & is easy to talk to. she genuinely cares about finding the root cause of hidden issues that may not have been thought of to put on the medical form. Mel gives off warmth that makes you feel like a friend rather than a client/patient. After 6 treatments the migraines my daughter visited Mel for have gone. We are going to track how long it is before any symptoms come back so we know how often to visit her to rebalance her body. There is no feeling from Mel that she expects you to continue with treatments. It is an overall relaxing and enjoyable experience.'

'I found Melanie when I was searching for treatment for lymphodoema. I signed up for 6 sessions and found each one a very calming, relaxing and helpful experience. Melanie puts you at ease as soon as you walk through the door and she has done a great job creating a little haven at the end of her garden. My lymphodoema improved considerably over the course of treatment and I no longer needed to wear my compression sleeve. I had no idea that reflexology could make such a profound difference. I'm just starting to have problems again with my arm 4 months after my last treatment so I shall have to come back soon!'

'I decided to try Reflexology to try and help me. I suffer with Anxiety and recently have had so many aches and pains (I'm 49!). My first visit I was very anxious and could not relax. My eyes were looking all round the lovely cabin that Melanie has, but I could not relax. Melanie could see this and helped me by asking me to close my eyes and think of the beach! At that very moment I could hear a seagull outside the cabin and I started to relax. I have had 5 sessions with Melanie and I have found it is making such a big difference. Its strange but I feel peaceful inside (if that makes sense) I feel I can deal with things so much better, my anxiety levels are low and I feel so much better in myself. I will definitely contine coming for Reflexology. Melanie is such a lovely lady. Would highly recommend'

'I am so glad and happy to have found Melanie and this place. I have been on therapy with her twice now and I must say that my hip and back pain have significantly improved. I have been on pain meds for more than 6 weeks and I decided to try reflexology apart from so many other consultations. I will be continuing to book with her for more sessions in the coming weeks. I feel much comfortable now and looking forward to getting back to work soon.'

'I went to see Melanie as I have cauda equina and have severe lower back pain/ sciatica pain and very painful left leg. I am also a migraine sufferer. She is a warm, loving person and makes you feel so comfortable and is a great listener.
I have have had a number of visits with Melanie and contunue to do so. To be honest she makes me feel new again. The thrombing pain has disappeared and I have full relief from my back pain. I am off medication- which I never thought in my life would happen. I am able to do things in my life that normally the pain restricted me doing. I would highly recommend anyone who has any health issues to atleast give Melanie a try - you will need a number of visits before you see the benefits but trust me it is definitely worth it. Thank you Melanie.'

'I went to see Melanie after I was dealing with excruciating pain from acute episodes of sciatica. I was at 4 painkillers every 6 hours but still in pain. 3 sessions with Melanie and I am back on my feet and even back to work. Definitely recommend her services!'

'I am very happy to leave a review on Mels page.
I contacted Mel more in desperation than hope having suffered from acute virtigo that was affecting my everyday life 100%.
On my first vist Mel put me at ease and settled me in her cosy cabin. Ive had five sessions now and am feeling much better, its like a miracle and I can't thank Mel enough for the time she takes over my tootsies and the kindness she has shown, I will continue to have the odd session to maintain the hard work. I would recommend Mel to anyone looking for a genuine talented Reflexologist, you won't regret it and like me, hooked on the feel good feeling.'
Valerie

'I have been to see Melanie twice now, once for reflexology and once for an Indian head massage. The whole experience is wonderful. Melanie is so lovely and her studio is very relaxing. I can recommend both treatments l and will be booking in again soon.'

It’s my pleasure to leave a review for Melanie at Sole n Soul. She is extremely calming, comforting and knowledgeable and her hands are magic. I am new to reflexology and boy have I been missing out. Not only is it 45 minutes of total deep relaxation in a beautiful setting but also has been beneficial for my anxiety/stress and brought relief from my lower back pain. I am so pleased I have found Melanie and think everyone should treat themselves to some Melanie time! My next session cannot come soon enough!

'By pure chance I came across Melanies website whilst looking on google maps, the name of the business caught my attention.
I am so glad it did, Melanie is what I would call an earth angel, I have been having regular reflexology with her and its heavenly!
I feel more relaxed, less stressed and just generally happier.
Very professional and talented in her work.'

Paul
Southampton
'I’ve never been one for having someone touch my feet but this is an all together different experience. I’ve been seeing Mel regularly for the last year and find it hard to identify exactly what or why I feel better in myself but I do!
As a menopausal lady of a certain age, I have had any number of ailments and a general feeling of fatigue but now I’m feeling the benefit of regular sessions. Mel has been able to identify certain issues with my health and steer me to take action to improve my well being.
I look forward to my next session each time, a relaxing atmosphere and a chat with a friendly therapist.
I would definitely recommend you give it a go.'
Alison

'So relaxing and really helps my Lymphatic Drainage.'

'I was very sceptical about having Reflexology and not knowing anything about it...but it has been so very rewarding over the last 3 months.
I see Mel every 2/3 weeks and Mel has been so very reassuring and patient with me. I really look forward to our sessions and get a lot out of the breathing exercises. I would highly recommend Mel and will continue my journey with Sole n Soul'
Lisa

'I recently visited Melanie for a session of reflexology spurred on by menopause problems. Not only did I come away feeling relaxed and calm, but I've since noticed my lower back and hip aches and pains have been greatly reduced. I also feel more centred and calm in general. I can highly recommend Sole n Soul Reflexology and EFT. It's working for me, and I can't wait to have another treatment.'
Michelle

Dee
SOUTHAMPTON
'I had my 2nd session today. I just regret not knowing reflexology before. I highly recommend it to everyone. You must try a session with Melanie. She is amazing, sweet, patient and very professional. I gave a boost to my energy, my issues with menopause have reduced drastically, my lower back pain is more tolerable, hence I feel good with myself. During the session I completely relaxed and after it I feel I am floating. Thank you Melanie. See you next week.'
Ines
SOUTHAMPTON
'I had been to Sole n Soul twice after exploring reflexology after having it once before. I am glad I came across Sole n Soul, Melanie is friendly and welcoming and the treatment is magic, in the true sense of the word! In my first treatment I went in with a start of a cold, Melanie picked up on this when carrying out the treatment, worked her magic and the cold never came to anything. The treatment is relaxing and I have found this feeling lasts for days afterwards. Melanie’s work space is quiet, relaxing haven which adds to the whole experience of calm, which I think everyone could do with a bit of! Go get some reflexology, you won’t regret it!'
Hayley

Hilary
TOTTON
'I highly recommend having Reflexology with Melanie; what a wonderfully relaxing experience. Her unique therapy room sets the perfect ambiance to totally escape and switch off from the world.
Throughout the treatment, she is attentive and makes me feel at ease, giving suggestions on self-help for areas she has picked up on that could further benefit me.
I always leave looking forward to my next visit!'
Angie
SOUTHAMPTON
'I was very pleased with the way Melanie had the treatment room set up, the lighting was subtle but suitable and the background music was very relaxing. The room was obviously carefully set out to create a calm and peaceful scene.
I had no previous knowledge of Reflexology and everything was explained well and I was put at ease. Mel was professional and methodical in her practice. I found the whole experience relaxing, enjoyable and Melanie was very knowledgeable.
I have experienced pain relief immediately on my shoulder, which has amazed and pleased me very much.
I would also like to state that there were regular reactions to the liver area on my foot and apart from drinking slightly too much wine each week I could not understand this.
I have unfortunately been involved in a horse riding accident just last week so had to go to hospital. They performed a CT scan on my and it has shown up I have cysts in my liver area. Just goes to show what Reflexology shows up!'
Janie
TOTTON
'A very good Reflexology experience with Melanie. I thought her treatment room was lovely, very peaceful and welcoming. On darker days the lighting gave it a very warm feeling, and on sunny days the décor blended in beautifully with her garden. My Reflexology treatments were very relaxing and I was surprised at how many health issues Melanie picked up on. I felt quite energised after the treatments and as though I were walking on air which lasted into the next day.'
Ann

'Melanie is an amazing reflexologist and person! I have only had 3 sessions but the physical and mental benefits are clear, I’m booked in for the year!'
Jane
SOUTHAMPTON
'Having only had Reflexology once before, I was interested to see what a course of treatments would be like. I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions and learnt that it is not just a 'foot rub'. To feel the correlation between foot and body was totally eye opening and intriguing. My visits were always warm, welcoming and professional. The treatment cabin is a great little haven of tranquillity. I was very relaxed and wouldn't hesitate in returning or recommending.'
Jamie
HYTHE
'I would like to say I found the whole Reflexology experience very relaxing.
It gave me a feeling of serenity afterwards. I was quite sceptical at first but after experiencing the pain in my foot around the lung area when I had the nasty cough, my opinion changed.
Although my cough wasn’t cured it certainly improved the next day. I found the log cabin a very tranquil space. It felt cosy and homely, very comfortable pillows and a warm fleece blanket, which made it very easy to lay back and relax.'
Lee Anne

'I have been coming to Mel for few weeks now and all I can say is WOWZER, amazing treatment very professional , beautiful setting and high standards of hygiene and safety . She makes you feel at ease throughout treatment, such a pleasurable experience and what a fab lady she is HIGHLY RECOMMEND'
Karla
SOUTHAMPTON
'I had an amazing reflexology session with Mel yesterday! I left feeling so relaxed and had a great night sleep after suffering with back pain for the last week or so.
Mel was really flexible and saw me after work and the cabin in her garden is a great setting for the session.
Through the session I felt myself relax more and more and felt like I could have easily drifted off to sleep - not what I was expecting from reflexology but a lovely surprise.
Very professional and friendly service- I would highly recommend! 5*!'
Jessica
SOUTHAMPTON
'I have had four sessions to date of Reflexology from Sole n Soul.
Melanie has a very professional manner and the treatment area has a wonderful ambience and is well lit. Prior to the treatments Melanie always ensures I am comfortable and warm.
Melanie always puts me at ease and explains everything very well.
I always leave my sessions feeling very relaxed.'

'I had my first reflexology with Mel on Saturday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. She is so good at her job. Makes you feel so welcome & relaxed. I have suffered with really awful pain in feet & ankles and after her session I just felt like I had new feet. No pain which to me was amazing. I would recommend her 100%. I will definitely be going back again soon.'

'I have had several sessions of reflexology in Melanie’s chalet and have found them to be very beneficial both physically and mentally.
The whole experience from the friendly greeting to the beautifully appointed treatment room and the treatment itself transports one into a very relaxed state of mind. A good night’s sleep is also a bonus, I can definitely recommend this treatment from Melanie.'
Sue
ROMSEY
Wow.... what can I say. Mel has amazing energy that makes you feel instantly relaxed. She really knows her stuff too, explaining after the treatment what areas you need to concentrate on. The reflexology itself I can only describe as a purely positive experience that effects your whole body. Highly recommend to anyone, whether you are feeling unwell or just to treat yourself, I’m booking in monthly now, better than a spa!...much love

Danni
SOUTHAMPTON
'Started getting my reflexology therapy from here when no one else would offer services in 2020. I suffer from constant pain and occasional emotional downs due to incurable cancer, Melanie helps me so much, knows when and when not to chat. I don't know much about the theory of reflexology but in my experience, it is doing me good. I consider it one of my essential expenses. Well worth it for the occasional break from pain.'

'Melanie is very friendly and makes you feel quickly at ease. The treatment room is so cute and cosy, and her spirituality shines through, which enhances the treatment she provides. I have been having really stressful times recently, so went to see Melanie to help me release some of the stress. After my treatment I felt much lighter, calmer and felt more empowered to cope with the stress I was under. I am looking forward to my next appointment for further wellbeing support. x '

'I have been going to Sole n Soul for a few months now to help with my early pregnancy symptoms and I have nothing but positives to say. I enjoy treatments and whilst pregnant you are limited to what treatments you can have. I find it incredibly relaxing and sleep better for a few days afterwards. I also leave with more energy than I usually have, whilst being incredibly relaxed. I look forward to having some me time away from work, toddler and busy every day life. Would recommend to all!!'
