Kristina Botterill

One of Brighton's leading health practitioners, dedicated to the wellbeing of her clients.

Established in Brighton in 2008, The Pamper Pod would like to welcome you to your personal haven of tranquillity and healing, away from the pressures and demands of everyday living. My home based salon provides an oasis of calm. My background is rooted in the corporate world of American Express, but I have always wanted to explore a career which has a direct impact on health and well being.

Over the years my needs and focus have changed, and in later life I was offered the luxury of being able to follow my heart, which lead me retraining in the world of wellbeing. Initially I studied to become a massage therapist and soon discovered the power of ‘hands on’ healing and the importance of creating a safe space to allow clients to re-connect with their own bodies. After an intense period of learning, my attention was caught by the benefits of reflexology and I quickly developed a reputation as a leading reflexologist and foot reader. My practice has grown and developed over time and the techniques I use on the feet encourage a ‘gentle touch’ or light touch approach, which is very conducive to relaxation - the state in which true healing can occur.

As a foot reader I gain insight to any emotional imbalances that may be held, and as a reflexologist I can pinpoint any physical challenges presented in the body. Reiki plays an important role in my practice, giving me the freedom to work intuitively and with connection to a higher power. Reiki allows the body to unblock stagnant energy that can manifest as stress or dis-ease. I have been fortunate to witness how reiki can transform lives on every level.

I have always been a very practical and grounded person, with a very calm demeanour and good listening skills, asking insightful questions to understand how best to serve my clients. My gift of healing is guided through intuition and a force much greater than myself. I feel privileged to be in a position to help people meet their full potential and to serve their highest needs.

The products I work with reflect the qualities that I am aligned to, with organic and natural credentials at their core. I have a long established relationship with Neal’s yard remedies as a channel for their wonderful organic skincare. Divine Eyes heated eye masks from Sensory Retreats have also become a recent addition, combining their use with reflexology adds a whole new layer of deep relaxation.
