WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Reflexology is a natural therapy, a therapeutic treatment, that works on the reflexes to all the organs, systems and structures of the body.
Deeply relaxing, the nerve endings to all the systems and structures create reflex points in the feet, hands or face. By working the reflex points with pressure, this creates a healing response via the neural pathways helping to alleviate pain, discomfort, stress and tension.
Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing. It is based on the theory that stimulating the reflex points can help to restore balance and promote healing in the corresponding areas.
Foot Reflexology
"Reflexology relaxes you, revives you, restores you, balances you and grounds you."
Reflexology is growing in popularity all over the world, with an ancient therapeutic history developed with modern methods that can help alleviate a variety of symptoms to promote the body's own healing mechanism. Our bodies are an intricate web of structures and nerves, and by activating pressure points in the feet made up of clusters of nerve endings, it can send signals to the brain and on to various organs, structures and systems of the body. This acts as a 'reset' button for the body to return to a 'normal' position of balance. There are over 7000 nerve endings in each foot! I have worked with many conditions over the years and my clients report positive results. As a holistic treatment, I work the entire body but can return to the reflexes that present as out of balance.
Eunice Ingham, without whom reflexology in the 20th century would not have developed famously said "If you are feeling out of kilter, don't know what or where to find the sore spot on your feet and work it out". The feet tell stories and as a reflexologist, I aim to translate it so you know how you can help yourself.
Facial Reflexology
A deeply relaxing and 100% natural treatment that works on the reflexes to the face. The proximity to the brain and central nervous system makes this a brilliant treatment for stress, insomnia, anxiety and depression and has the added benefit of encouraging a healthy glow.
Maternity Reflexology
Quite literally, helps you take the weight off your feet particularly during the last few weeks. Many pregnant ladies report that this eases the discomfort which comes with many pregnancy symptoms and some have reported that labour has been induced as a result of a reflexology treatment. Get in touch for further information.
Get in touch
Please do get in touch if you would like to try reflexology or to rebook some sessions.
Some conditions will require a course of 4 - 6 treatments before you see an improvement, other times a one-off appointment as a treat for well-being or to help you relax.
I do aim to respond within 24 hours, but sometimes life gets in the way and am not always able to answer my phone or sit down in front of the computer so please bear with me.
