Kelly Zilz BA(Hons), ITEC, MAR
Hello! Welcome to my website. My name is Kelly and I am a reflexologist and complementary therapist based in Barns Green, West Sussex, where I have my own private therapy room.
I am passionate about reflexology and have seen first hand in the past how it can help alleviate stress and promote relaxation, amongst other benefits. Please go to my therapies page for a list of all therapies I currently offer and to find out a little bit more about what I offer and what the benefits are for each therapy.
As a conscientious and caring individual, I have found that helping people relax and destress through receiving complementary therapies is so rewarding. Furthermore, I get so much satisfaction from seeing clients relax and benefit from the therapies that I offer that it does not feel like a job to me, it is a passion.
I am a member of the Association of Reflexology. I am also fully insured for all the therapies I offer and am also enhanced DBS checked.
A little bit about me away from my therapy room…
I am originally from Pembrokeshire, West Wales but my home is now based in Barns Green, West Sussex, where I live with my husband and slightly eccentric but ever so loveable tuxedo rescue cat, Meely. I worked in a busy call centre environment for many years as a Resource Planning Analyst and in 2015 I started to train in complementary therapies, with the dream of becoming self employed and running my own therapy business, which is where I have found myself today!
I love spending time walking in the countryside and yoga and home gym classes and I have recently started rebounding. I also love meditation and breathwork and have benefited hugely from personal meditation practice. I also am a bit of a bookworm and last year I read over 100 books, including many non-fiction, health, reflexology, self-development and spiritual texts, which have all contributed towards my personal and professional development, which I see as a continuous journey. I also volunteer with the village Brownie Group, which is a lot of fun and very rewarding.

I believe that continuous improvement is vital for growth which is why I have invested so heavily in further training since I first qualified in reflexology and massage. Here is a list of my training to date.
