About Holibrium


Holibrium provides Alexander Technique lessons and reflexology sessions (reclining and vertical reflexology) to clients throughout the local area. The practice is situated in Stoke Gifford (Bristol), not far from Parkway Station.

Holibrium is managed by Sylvie Samuels. She has trained with the Bristol School of Reflexology. She has a diploma in Holistic Reflexology, a Certificate of Anatomy and Physiology and a Diploma in Reflexology. Since qualifying she has continued her professional development and attended courses to learn new techniques and methods which she integrates into her sessions.
Sylvie is also qualified as an Alexander Teacher and teaches in the Interactive Teaching Method (ITM) way.
Zone Face Lift (Bergman Method), a natural way to lift up your skin and your spirit, and facials are also available. The products used for those treatments are natural, vegan, chemical free, fragrance free, cruelty free effective skincare products.

Holibrium offers reflexology treatments. Reflexology is a holistic touch therapy that balances energy. A reflexology session provides people with 'me time' and usually has a very relaxing effect. People feel happier, calmer and more energised after a session. Sessions can be used to alleviate symptoms of a condition but also as a prevention, hence promoting long-term health.

Holibrium offers Alexander Technique lessons. Lessons take place in a pleasant, caring and fun atmosphere where ideas are examined and put to the test. More often than not, a change in ideas and beliefs brings about an easier and more flexible movement. The latter often mean a decrease in pain and feeling much happier about oneself.

Sylvie Samuels is a member of Independent Professional Therapist International (IPTI), of the Interactive Teaching Method Teacher Association (ITMTA) and is registered with the Complementary and Natural Health Council (CNHC).

J'ai pratiqué des seances à distance par video avec Sylvie. Pendant la période d'épidémie et de couvre feu c'est très pratique et sécurisant. La liaison informatique est très facile : Sylvie s'occupe de vous inviter à une réunion. Vous acceptez. C'est connecté ! L'effet est très positif même sur une seule séance. Vous sortez détendue physiquement (on detend les epaules et le cou après une journée au bureau! ) et psychologiquement. Les cours en groupes sont possible et aussi sympatique qu'en présenciel.

Feel so relaxed after a reflexology session with Sylvie and I found she took a really holistic approach when doing the reflexology. I am feeling less tense in the shoulder and neck area and also have a clearer mind too! I would definitely recommend Sylvie!

I cannot recommend Sylvie highly enough! She is an extremely talented Reflexologist, coupled with an insightful and spiritual approach, I have found the Reflexology sessions hugely powerful and helpful. I first attended with significant joint, sciatic and emotional pain. I was prepared for 'the long haul' and now after 6 appointments am beginning to notice improvements. I also had a recent flare up of Psoriasis, which she has been able to advise on, I recently changed my diet to augment the treatment from Sylvie, again early days, but believe it will ultimately result in overall improvement. I fully intend to continue the treatment, as someone with a hectic lifestyle it would be easy for me to 'put this treatment on hold', however such is the faith I have in Sylvies' skill and knowledge, I will make the time. As Sylvie would say, we all deserve balance and wellness in our lives. Merci bien Sylvie, see you next week!

I cannot rate sylvie high enough! Instantly she made me feel welcome and settled me in for my facial reflexology (something I've never tried before, only had the traditional foot reflexology) it was the most amazing sensation as I felt different parts of my body tingling as she massaged my face. I later learnt this was because she was stimulating certain points. I would definitely recommend sylvie and anyone to try facial reflexology. Hoping to book with her again soon.

Sylvie's reflexology is second to none. I've been seeing her for a few months now and the work she is doing is really helping me. The treatment is very relaxing and in itself is a pleasure to receive. But I feel it working to help my ailments too which is great. Sylvie is teaching me a lot about the Alexender Technique too and I'm really looking forward to attending an introduction and 5 week course starting in February.

This was my first experience of reflexology and I have found it very helpful. I found it an immediate relief. Sylvie is a gentle and calm practioner. I can highly recommended her. I feel she mixes reflexology with her calm personal touch which makes her stand out. I can see that Sylvite does this not for money but as her job.

Sylvie introduced me to the Alexander Technique about a year ago and it has become an important part of my everyday life. For instance, if I experience a twinge or an ache in a movement I now realise that it usually means that I have moved awkwardly or am not using my energy economically. I am able to correct those movements and my brain absorbs the knowledge ensuring that I don’t keep repeating the same mistakes. I am very aware now of how my posture and the poise of my head impact positively on how I move and am so delighted that I am able to use the Alexander Technique. Anthea, Warmley.

Before I started work with Sylvie Samuels I had 2 health issues-my neck was very stiff and made driving difficult as I had to turn my whole body to look over my right shoulder. The other problem was with an old sports injury to my lower back which had left a hard knot of muscle which made standing and walking painful. Through reflexology and the Alexander technique both issues have been resolved, my neck now moves freely and the knot of muscle in my lower back has disappeared making walking and standing much easier. I am now pain free in both areas thanks to the treatment received at Holibrium.

I found sessions with Sylvie refreshing and relaxing. I would recommend her reflexology sessions to everyone.

Sylvie is very patient and encouraging. My Alexander Technique sessions with Sylvie have taught me to think about what I am asking my body to do when performing tasks, to be aware of my posture and poise. Sylvie has given guidance to avoid old habits which may be affecting my physical well being and being able to complete tasks with minimum effort and greater ease. I believe I have greatly benefited from her teaching and discussions.

Having seen the effective results of Sylvie's reflexology I was very interested to understand more about the Alexander technique. Even being an osteopath I realised I had little knowledge of what the Alexander technique actually offered and was very pleased to discover that it wasn't at all about learning to stand as stiff as a board in the name of 'posture'. In fact quite the opposite, it teaches about movement and making smart choices for your body so that you reduce the physical work load that is required in a huge variety - if not all - aspects of daily living. As an osteopath I see immense benefit in this technique and would highly recommend this approach of prevention being better than cure! Sylvie approaches the Alexander technique in a similar fashion to her reflexology - friendly, knowledgable and professional.

15/09/2016 Ms N Young. Eastville Sylvie is an extremely talented reflexologist who also has the rare quality of both putting one at their ease while remaining fully professional. I have an extreme menstrual hormonal condition that is chronic and longstanding. So far having had four sessions with Sylvie I have seen significant incremental improvements with most of my symptoms, which are many and vary in severity from month to month. I'm so happy to have found a reflexologist who both knows what they are doing, do it well and are reasonably priced. I enjoy the treatments so much that even if I did not have this condition I would still come for reflexology with Sylvie as the treatments seem to help me generally feel good!

I first went to Sylvie as a chronic migraine sufferer and wondered if Reflexology may help. In just a few sessions my migraines had decreased considerably and they no longer disrupt my life to the enormous extent that they used to. Sylvie is a very caring person and really listens to how you feel and what you need from your session. I continue with my sessions on a regular basis as they not only help with the migraines but I find them very relaxing and calming. Sylvie has a very dedicated and professional attitude to her work and I can thoroughly recommend her.

I have just had my sixth session with Sylvie and will continue to go back regularly. She is very professional and kind, I would definitely recommend her to anyone thinking of giving Reflexology a try. I am always made to feel very welcome and relaxed, I really do feel the benefits of the sessions I have had and always look forward to my next one.

I have had reflexology several times before, by different practitioners, and I loved it but I can very confidently say that Sylvie was the best. She has a very calming, friendly and caring approach and at the same time she is also very professional and competent. Sylvie delivered exactly what I was looking for and therefore I will be booking another session with her very soon. If you are looking for a good reflexology practitioner, I hope this helps you make your decision. Maria.

I've had 4 1/2hour sessions so far and have benefitted from the relaxation it gives you. Sylvie is very welcoming and explains what she's doing during the treatment. Not only did she help with my digestive system -I walked in one day with a stiff neck and she sorted that out as well. Will be going back in a couple of months.

A gift from a friend to help with my sinus problems, I had four sessions over the course of two weeks. Big improvement overall, continuing my treatment at two weekly intervals. If you have any health or stress related problems then why not try an alternative approach it may help! Thanks Sylvie ? .

I consulted Sylvie to help with some lower back, heel and knee pain. After just a few sessions the back and knee pain have gone completely and there is a noticeable difference in the heel pain. I have also noticed a positive change in my eczema. Sylvie is very friendly and is very thorough. Highly recommended.

Having experienced problems with my balance for over 3 years I contacted Sylvie hoping that reflexology would help me. After four sessions I am not disappointed! I am now much more stable and can go walking alone and at a fast pace. Sylvie is extremely professional which fills me with confidence and allows me to get the best from our sessions because I can relax. I highly recommend her.

I went to Sylvie with a multitude of problems after being injured in the forces. I have had 3 major back operations in the last 8 years but still suffered from back and leg pain aswell as headaches and neck pain. To date I have had two setions with Sylvie. To say I am over the moon with the results are an understatement. No surgeon or doctor has managed to relive my pain after 8 years, but after only two setions with Sylvie my neck pain has just about gone and I have not had a headache since my last visit. I am looking forward to more setions so at last I may be able to have a pain free future. If like I was you are sceptical I can assure you this does actually work. I would recommend Sylvie to any one. Sylvie is welcoming, very professional and carrys out a thorough medical history check with you before starting any treatment. Andy S.Moreexpand_more
