EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
EFT is a natural non-invasive technique that can benefit in the treatment of a very wide range of emotional, mental and physical problems. It can correct disruptions in the body's energy system that may have been caused by emotional or physical distress and empower you to find new solutions to old problems.
EFT is a 'cousin' of acupuncture but without the needles. Gentle tapping is used on the end points of the body's energy pathways (meridians) mainly in the face and on the hands, using spoken phrases relevant to the problem being treated.
Recent successful treatments include: depression, skin problems, anger, addiction, low self esteem, weight problem, migraine, nail biting,
to name a few.
EFT can be used on everything and it is not unusual for problems to be cleared in one session.
EFT often helps when nothing else will.
Reflexology
A 'reflection' of all organs, systems and structures of the body can be found on our feet and hands. Reflexology is the practice of working on these reflexes in a way to produce relaxation and response in the corresponding parts of the body. Controlled pressure is applied with thumbs or fingers to the reflex points in a specific coherent sequence. This stimulates the body to achieve its own state of equilibrium.
Pressure on the reflexes affects the corresponding organ or region and also influences the relationship between different functions, processes and parts of the body. Its purpose is to encourage healing, restore and maintain the body's natural state of balance. Reflexology is safe, suitable for all age groups and is recognised by the British Medical Association.
Ideal way to keep your body systems in balance.
Champissage (Indian Head Massage)
Indian Head Massage originates from a rich tradition of intergenerational family massage and has been practiced for over a thousand years. The word 'shampoo' comes from the Hindi word 'champi', meaning head massage.
Champissage is a safe, yet effective therapy and addresses the physical, mental and emotional effects of stress. Some other benefits include the relieve of migraines, tension in head, neck and shoulders. It promotes stimulation of blood supply to the scalp, encouraging healthy hair growth and releases toxins from tense muscles.
The use of oil is optional and not detrimental to achieve good results. Improvements can very often be achieved after the first treatment.
A wonderfully relaxing therapy to lift you out of daily stress.
Hopi Ear Candle Treatment (Thermo Auricular Therapy)
Ear Candles have a purely physical function. A light suction action (chimney effect) and the movement of the flame create a vibration of air in the Ear Candle, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum. This induces a pleasant feeling of warmth and a balance of pressure in the ears, forehead and sinuses.
This method has been used by many cultures as an effective natural therapy since ancient times, introduced to our culture by the Hopi Indians. It can help relieve sinus problems, tinnitus, hay fever, excess wax, headaches, congestion, hearing problems and much more.
The benefits have been well known through many years of experience and confirmed by thousands of doctors worldwide.
Calms the mind and soothes the head and ears.
Holistic Massage
One of the safest therapies known to man and has been used for thousands of years for its healing abilities. It is effective for muscular and mental tension, improves the circulation and lymphatic drainage, helps to eliminate toxins from the body and reduces stress. Massage can be used for relaxation, stimulation or rehabilitation of the whole body or part of it.
You do not have to have problems in order to benefit from a massage treatment. Together, with a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition, Holistic Massage can be very beneficial as part of a good health maintenance program.
A kind way to give your body
a helping hand to keep you healthy.
Reiki
Reiki means "Universal Life Force Energy" which flows through all living things. The client receives healing energy channelled through the practitioner. Reiki energy is gentle and may be used safely by all ages including the newborn, pregnant mothers, the frail and the elderly.
Reiki promotes the body's own natural healing processes and can benefit physical and emotional well being. It can be used by itself or alongside any other healthcare.
Gives a feeling of peace and tranquillity

After a career in Human Resources I took the opportunity to retrain in Energy and Holistic Therapies. This was a long standing desire of mine.
I have a passion for what I do in particular EFT which has brought profound positive mind-body-spirit changes in myself and many of my clients, including children. I love working with people and help them make positive changes in their lives by finding new solutions to old problems. It is touching to be able to share their relief from anger, stress, resentment, low self-esteem, nail biting, physical pains, phobias and much more.
I have studied and applied EFT since early 2003 and have trained with people who lead the field in energy therapy including Gary Craig, the founder of EFT. I am committed to ongoing training and development in all I do and can provide safe and effective treatments to my clients, which I offer in a calm and tranquil environment.

Judy provides wonderful tailor-made treatments. From start to finish the experience is incredibly calming and relaxing. You are greeted with warmed slippers on arrival and then relax in her tranquil treatment room to the sound of birdsong in the garden. I have enjoyed both reflexology and the "combi" which leaves you feeling delightfully indulged- perfect when you're a stressed-out working Mum! Judy's caring approach makes you feel very comfortable and unhurried and you leave ready to face the world again!

I went to see Judith for a session of Reflexology 10 days after my due date. I’d had an emergency c-section with my first daughter and was desperate to try for a natural birth the second time. Due to the previous c-section I had been told that, if I went overdue, I wouldn’t be induced so, at 2 weeks past my due date I had been booked in for another c-section.
In the meantime I tried everything to try and induce a natural labour and this included seeing Judith. I had such a warm welcome when I met Judith and was encouraged to tell her all about my situation. After the reflexology session she offered to try some Reiki and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). I had never heard of the latter but was willing to give anything a go. Both helped me to relax and the EFT served a cathartic purpose, helping to release the emotions that had been building up over the preceding weeks.
I did end up having another c-section but my time with Judith helped me to approach the operation happily and feeling prepared. Claire Neil - St.Albans
Dear Judy
'Remember how I used to pick my skin around my finger nails when I was stressed until they were bleeding? Thought you might want to know that I have never picked again ever since the 20 minute EFT session I had with you over a year ago. Meanwhile, my hands have totally healed and I no longer need to hide them. I still find it quite unbelievable that something as simple as this could have solved a problem I have had since childhood.'
Thanks again. G. Fowles - Hemel Hemstead
'I have suffered from an allergy to the water in my own home, which gave me an itchy rash all over my body every time I showered. As a result I had been washing myself with bottled water at great expense for longer than I want to remember. I could only enjoy a shower or bath when away for a break. We had the water board and plumbers in to check the system and tested for chemical residues. Everything tested
negative.
I see Judith regularly to receive her wonderful Reflexology treatments but I had never mentioned this problem to her before. Thank God I finally did. I have a very scientific approach to life and when Judith offered to help with EFT I did smile but was ready to try anything. After about 15 minutes working on the problem with EFT we left it to time to tell us. Well, what itching? My problem has gone and has never come back. Very strange but I am not complaining - this is marvellous!! Thank you, thank you, thank you ...' A.Pereira - St. Albans
'I have received regular Reflexology and EFT treatments with Judith during my severe illness. Her treatments were flowing gently with harmony. She always made me feel very special and transmitted great and positive energy, giving me a wonderful sense of well-being after each treatment. Judith has the perfect attributes of a holistic therapist.' S.G. - London
'I just wanted to express my thanks and love to you for supporting me and helping me through a really tough time with EFT, your kind supportive words and great advise. You are a very special person and don't you forget it.' Julie F. - Harpenden
'Your Indian Head Massage gave me a chance, both physically and mentally, to relax and give me a chance to reflect on what was important to me in my work and personal life. Since having the treatments with you, I have slept more regularly, have much less tension and have been able to cope with aspects of my life that were difficult to deal with before. 'D. O'S. - Hemel Hempstead
'...during each Indian Head Massage treatment, I felt I went rapidly into a 'meditation state' and came totally 'chilled out' a beautiful experience. Thank you for a tremendous experience of relaxation and well-being.' V. B. - St. Albans
I have experienced Judith's healing work, both at her home and at the clinic, and have found her always gentle, intuitive and understanding. In particular the Emotional Freedom Technique she practices is imaginative, supportive and helpful. J. Baker - St. Albans
I saw Judy Maag after having found a large lump on my breast and being referred by my GP to the local breast clinic. I was in a terrible state; very emotional, terrified and in a negative frame of mind - "of COURSE it has to be cancer, it's just my luck", I thought.
I met with Judy the day before my appointment at the clinic. We spent time talking about the intense anger and hatred I have felt towards my mother for YEARS and how my father had recently hurt my feelings irreparably. I did a lot of crying and wailing. Judy remained calm, sympathetic and totally accepting of all the 'stuff' I was letting out. We then started the 'tapping' part of the session. We worked on my anger, hatred and fear, and visualised the lump draining away. By the end of the session, my feelings towards my parents had shrunk down to pity; that they are incapable of dealing with their own stuff. FANTASTIC session!
The next day, I was diagnosed with a large cyst, which the doctor drained away there and then - just as we had visualised the day before! The best result for me, however, has been the fact that my anger hasn't returned. I still have to deal with my parents (who haven't changed at all, of course!) but I now do so calmly and with an inner strength that was missing before. No more intense anger. No more lumps! Thank you Judy for lifting me up and introducing me to EFT.
