Reflexology

Welcome to my Reflexology page

Reflexology has its roots in Eastern philosophy and has proved to be a safe, gentle, effective and deeply relaxing way of balancing the entire system of the body for over 5000 years. This non-invasive and holistic therapy which heals the mind, body and spirit, is based on the principle that the body has the natural ability to heal itself and that reflexes/areas in the feet/hands map in miniature the internal organs and structures of the body connected by energy channels i.e. the right foot mirrors the right of the body and the left foot mirrors the left of the body. Where there is dis-ease (when the body is out of balance) in any area of the body, it can be located in the corresponding channel on the foot/hand because the flow of energy is disrupted causing imbalance and the problem may be felt as crystalline deposits under the surface. This is further indicated by colour, appearance and possible tenderness in the area. By gently using massage and finger pressure techniques the reflex in the corresponding organ is stimulated and the blockage is released thereby rebalancing the flow of energy and starting the healing process. During this process the body is encouraged to eliminate toxins, improve circulation and strengthen the immune system. Muscles are soothed and relaxed giving pain relief, stress and nervous tension are reduced, energy is restored and you are left with a feeling of total well being.

This therapy is beneficial for most as it addresses the whole person. A course of treatments is recommended for specific problems but it is also extremely beneficial as a regular treatment for health maintenance and prevention of dis-ease

Treatment is performed whilst you are comfortably reclined (fully clothed apart from socks/shoes etc.) on a "Lafuma" - reflexology chair. You also have the option of a therapy couch but most people find the chair blissfully relaxing.

(PLEASE STATE YOUR PREFERENCE WHEN BOOKING)

Once covered with a blanket, each foot is worked on in turn starting with a short massage to loosen and relax, followed by a sequence of moves to locate any problems. Another massage is given using gels/creams with cooling and reviving properties to leave you walking on air!
