About Laura Devonshire Wellness

Laura Devonshire Wellness was created from a desire to want to share the Holistic Therapies and Practices that have helped me personally over the years and through different chapters of my life.

From helping me work through high stress and anxiety levels, supporting me through illness to managing and maintaining balance in this busy demanding world we live in. Reflexology, Reiki, Sound Healing and Yoga are a big part of my life tool-kit, they nourish and help me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

My journey with holistic therapies initially began with Reflexology in 2008, I was going through a prolonged stressful time with work. Working long hours and finding it hard to ‘switch off’ I could feel myself burning out.

I was completely fascinated by the treatments and how much calmer and more balanced they made me feel. So much so, 2 years and many treatments later I enrolled to study a Reflexology Diploma and Anatomy & Physiology, qualifying as a Practitioner in 2011. In 2012 I extended my qualifications to specialise in Preconception and Pregnancy Reflexology to be able to support women through these chapters of their lives.

Little did I know then that this would be the beginning of what has turned out to be a life changing journey over the last decade!

In 2013 a friend introduced me to Reiki and again I was fascinated and also surprised by how much I felt through this light and non-touch therapy. My intention has always been to offer holistic therapies that can support everyone, at any age and stage of life. There are some instances where Reflexology may not be appropriate, but Reiki still would be. Reiki is gentle in nature yet profoundly powerful. Over the years I went on to complete my Levels 1, 2 and 3 and am a qualified Reiki Master. I also support animals with Reiki too, they are incredibly attuned and receptive to this holistic therapy. As with humans, animals with physical, mental or emotion issues can profoundly benefit from it too.

I qualified as a Sound Healing Practitioner in 2019 and work with incredible Himalayan Singing Bowls. My first experience of Sound Healing was in a yoga class in 2015. It completely caught me off guard when one of the frequencies made me start crying from nowhere and left me wondering what on earth has just happened! This started me on a path to explore Sound Healing and I’m soooo delighted to be able to share this wonderful experience with you.

My first introduction to Yoga was with my mum in a village hall in late 90’s, we would leave every week feeling blissfully relaxed yet fully energised at the same time, I had never experienced anything like this before. After many years of exploring different styles of yoga I completed my first Yoga Teacher training in 2015, this ignited my interest in philosophy and in 2017 I travelled to India and completed a further 500 hours training to delve deeper into the ancient teachings and experienced my first Vipasana meditation retreat.

Over the years I found Yoga to be so much more than a physical practice, it is a journey of self-discovery and connection. Combining the physical practice of yoga with breath awareness and meditation creates space for profound transformation. Yoga is not just what we practice on our mats but what we take into our everyday lives.

I now fully appreciate how the most painful experiences can be our greatest teachers. How love and compassion, for oneself and others, are our greatest healers. Reflexology, Reiki, Sound Healing and Yoga have helped me on life’s journey, I want to share them and help others find wholeness, happiness and balance within.

The following measures have been put in place for treatments at West Norwood Therapies:

Preparation of treatment space:

  • There will be a 15minute gap between clients to clean and ventilate the treatment space
  • We have minimised what is in the room to make it easy to clean thoroughly and have minimised fabrics to ensure things can be disinfected. Towels will still be used (fresh for each client of course) but not stored in the room.
  • We have a HEPA fan and HEPA filtered hoover to clear the air as much as possible
  • We will be steam cleaning the carpet each week as part of a professional weekly clean

PPE and adjustments to your treatments

  • Practitioners will wear face masks and/or visors during treatments and will ask you to wear one for supine work or face to face interactions
  • Practitioners will use a plastic apron
  • We have removed the massage table cover and electric blanket – sorry! We know a lot of you loved this – and will be using couch roll and a face support then the vinyl can be washed down thoroughly between clients
  • Consultation via video call the day before your session to allow for mask-free conversation
  • We will not be accepting cash payments, payments by bank transfer please.
  • We will not be providing water in glasses so ask you please to bring your own water bottle to your treatment and also a pen for completing a form and / or signing a waiver
