There are many theories as to why reflexology works, but in general, our feet, hands, face and even ears can be used as a map of our bodies. Within this map, there are reflex points which represent the various organs and systems of our bodies. Reflexology is not a foot massage, however it is a deeply relaxing experience.

Not everyone likes the thought of having a treatment on their feet (although I have changed the mind of many clients), so if this is the case, I can also work on your hands, or you may like to try facial reflexology.

For more information about reflexology, take a look at this link from the Association of Reflexologists. As a member of the AoR, and having undertaken advanced training in all of the techniques detailed below, you can be assured that you are in expert and knowledgeable hands.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Using the information given in your consultation form and any discussions we have prior to your treatment, I will carry out a tailored treatment, also taking into account what I pick up on during the session. During the treatment I will work in a systematic way by stimulating or relaxing the various reflex points and zones on your feet or hands to gently improve energy flow, restore balance to your body and help activate the body’s natural ability to heal itself whilst improving vitality and energy levels. A full session will cover all the major reflexes, but I will also use advanced techniques and give focus to particular areas as required. Subsequent sessions will include a mini-update on how you have been since the previous treatment.

The therapy is a gentle non-invasive treatment which should not cause discomfort, however you may occasionally notice tender areas which may relate to imbalances in your body. The treatment takes place in an extremely comfortable reclining chair and most people find the therapy so relaxing that they often fall asleep during their session!
