peppermint feet

I'm Cristina Gomez Martinez, founder and owner of peppermint feet. I have been living in Marlow with my husband for 17 years and our 3 children have the chance to grow in this vibrant town by the Thames. I am passionate about how holistic therapies can rebalance people's life.

 

Having left my corporate role in pharma to have deep understand of both Western and Eastern approaches to health, I obtained a Diploma in Naturopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London in 2005.

​

A few years ago, I got attracted by reflexology and explored the profound and healing aspect of touch.  I am now also a fully qualified Reflexology Practitioner, having trained with the Temple Academy of Reflexology in Milton Keynes,  fully accredited school by the professional Association of Reflexologists. I love the way reflexology can be adapted to the specific needs of each individual and how it can be combined with other modalities to deliver a gently but powerful treatment with lasting effects. So since then, I have undertaken further training about the nervous system and the menopause. I have invested over 100 hours in CPD with Gaia School of Natural Health on how to integrate 40 essential oils safely to my treatments. I trained with Heidi Armstrong in acupressure facial therapy to integrate additional benefits the facial treatments. In 2022, I have completed and enjoyed all the modalities of Gentle Release Therapy which founder Helen Robinson has taught me, allowing me to revive my acupuncture knowledge without using needles! Last year, I have expanded my reflexology by offering ear treatments too, after attending Allison Walker's auricular reflexology and ear seeding course.  And I have been on a journey experiencing a  200 hour Transformational Meditation Teacher training with Vayia Nafees.

​

I am committed to continuing my learning and research, and I am always looking to integrate new techniques and therapies into my practice.

​

I can offer consultations in Spanish and French, too, as I am Spanish and a native French speaker. And I have done a small collaboration in the translation of Jane Sheehan's, UK leading foot reader, online foot reading programme  and book The Gurus’ Guide to Reflexology Book 1.
