Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing; by reducing stress in people’s lives can be key in optimising good health and building resilience. It is a touch therapy that is based on the theory that different points on the feet, and lower leg correspond with different areas of the body and reflexologists work these points and areas to help bring balance to the body and mind.
It is a very individual treatment which is tailored to you as a whole person, taking into account both physical and non-physical factors that might be affecting your health and wellbeing.
The theory is that reflexology helps the body to restore its balance naturally. Usually, after a treatment your tension may be reduced and you may feel relaxed. You might also notice an improvement in sleep and may find your mood and sense of wellbeing improving.
My reflexology sessions always start with a consultation in order to get an idea of health and lifestyle and to ensure that reflexology is right for you.
You will remain fully clothed, simply removing shoes and socks and you’ll be invited to relax on a treatment couch. Feet will be cleansed and balm/oil is used to help provide a free flowing treatment, stretching and massaging the feet and lower legs then moving on to use techniques to work the reflex points on each foot. My treatments are deeply relaxing where each client has one to one attention and supportive touch in an empathetic listening environment. Reflexology can be used safely alongside standard healthcare to promote better health for their clients.
