What is Reflexology ?

Reflexology involves applying pressure to specific areas on the hands and feet to remove stagnation and blockages. Reflex points on the hands and feet are connected to our internal organs and the energy channels ( meridians ) of the body.

By releasing blockages the energy can circulate freely and healing takes place.

For example, if you come for a reflexology treatment with a headache , I might apply pressure to your big toe to release the headache, since the toes are connected internally to the head.

What happens during a treatment?

You will take off your shoes and socks and either lie on a couch or sit in a comfortable chair. I will ask you about present and past medical history as well as questions about your lifestyle, diet and stress levels .
In my reflexology treatments I will work on reflex points as well as acupuncture points using acupressure. For most people this is a relaxing session but it is possible to feel a little nauseous or very sleepy.

Why have reflexology ?

Reflexology is a gentle way of balancing energy and release blockages , especially for those who cannot tolerate invasive treatments., for elderly , children , pregnant women and those with autoimmune conditions. Also great for people with a fear of needles.
