What Is Reflexology?
The fundamental concept of Reflexology is that the feet and hands are mirrors to our bodies. Reflexology aims to remove and prevent blockages in the body’s systems and organs which is achieved by activating pressure points on the feet that stimulate the central nervous system. With thousands of nerve endings in the feet, Reflexology can be a very powerful treatment on both a physical and emotional level.
Stress, especially long term stress, can have a detrimental effect on many of the systems within the body and can sometimes be the root cause of subsequent illnesses. Reflexology can result in overall relaxation, bringing about a release in tension, can aid sleep, improve your mood resulting in a sense of enhanced wellbeing. Other conditions may well improve too, but this is very individual.
It is a gentle and non-invasive therapy that is suitable for all ages.

The Treatment
During your first treatment, I will allocate additional time to find out about you, your lifestyle, and your overall health and emotional well-being. This is followed by approximately one hour’s treatment.
Following treatments will take approximately one hour.
You remain fully clothed, apart from your shoes and socks, then lie back on my comfortable electronic clinic couch or if it is a home visit by equally comfortable fully supported Reflexology chair and enjoy the treatment which is relaxing, calming and soothing.
As a Reflexologist, I do not diagnose, prescribe nor claim to cure. It is a very individual treatment which is tailored to you as a person, taking into account both physical and non-physical factors that might be affecting your well-being.
