What is Reflexology??
Reflexology is a holistic treatment based on the principle that there are areas and points on the feet, hands, and ears that map via the nervous system to corresponding parts of the body. When pressure is applied to these areas and points it stimulates the movement of energy along the nerve channels, and helps to restore homeostasis (balance) in the whole body.
I may find crystals or blockages surrounding the 7000+ nerve endings of your feet, toes and lower legs throughout the session; I shall perform a variety of movements to release these congested areas and enable them to be cleansed from the body through it’s natural elimination process.

Our bodies are very complex and are capable of healing themselves, anything from a small cut or bruise to a major injury or emotional trauma. Reflexology can help facilitate this natural function within all systems of the body to bring about good health and wellbeing with an entirely holistic approach. It can help with many problems such as-

•   Poor digestion and Irritable bowel syndrome.
•   Arthiritis
•   Relief from skeletal or muscular aches & pains.
•   Anxiety and Depression.

•   Sleep problems.
•   Low immune system.
•   Hormonal imbalance
•   Infertility.
•   Migraines
•   Sinus congestion
•   Skin disorders

What do I expect from the treatment?
Your initial appointment will last around 1hr 15mins as I will need to carry out a full, thorough consultation to ascertain your needs and requirements; enabling me to tailor the session specifically to you as a client.

The session lasts around 50mins to 1hour where you will be made comfortable on a couch, wrapped up warm whilst I work on one foot at a time. You may feel a little sensitivity if there is an imbalance in a certain areas, please do not hesitate to inform me if you feel uncomfortable at any time although as a whole the treatment is a very relaxing process.

You may experience ‘Contra actions’ as a result of the treatment due to the balancing and detoxification process taking place throughout the systems. These can include;

-   Feeling thirsty
-   Headaches
-   More frequent trips to the toilet
-   Feeling very tired and lethargic
-   Nose becoming blocked up or very runny
-   Feeling fevery

These symptoms are what is known as a ‘Healing Crisis’ where  by the body is allowing this crisis to take place in a bid to boost the immune system and self-healing abilities to areas of the body where it is most needed. The Healing crisis can last from 24-72 hours after our appointment and clients usually see a big difference in themselves afterwards.
