WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?
Reflexology is a therapeutic practice that is effective in promoting relaxation and wellbeing. It involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and face, which are believed to correspond to different organs and systems of the body. Stimulating these reflex points helps restore the body’s crucial energy pathways and stimulates the body’s own natural healing abilities, returning it to it's true state of balance. It is a beautiful way to regain harmony in our mind, body and soul.
A reflexologist will use specific techniques, such as thumb and finger pressure, to manipulate these points, tailoring the treatment to your individual needs. Addressing the whole person, it emphasizes the connection between physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, aiming to promote overall health.
HOW CAN IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Our energy systems, the mind, body, and soul are interconnected, and our wellbeing depends on maintaining balance among them. Persistent stress or tension in any one area can disrupt the entire system. Reflexology treatments are designed to enhance the body's natural healing abilities and promote overall wellness. Reflexology treatments aim to rebalance, rejuvenate and purify the body, fostering a return to harmony and a feeling of overall wellbeing.

WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE DURING MY TREATMENT?
Your initial treatment will be extended to allow for a discussion of your current health status, ensuring that your treatment is both safe and customised to your individual requirements. It's crucial to consider all aspects of your life to maximise the benefits and results. Before your treatment you will need to fill out a consultation form. Rest assured, all provided information will be handled with the utmost confidentiality.
I recommend that you wear loose comfortable clothing to attend your appointment. You will remain fully clothed but will need to remove your shoes and socks.
The treatment starts with a foot cleanse using hot towels, followed by a soothing foot massage. Gentle pressure will then be applied to specific reflex areas on the feet. All products used during the treatment are 100% natural and vegan friendly.
HOW MIGHT I FEEL AFTER MY TREATMENT?
The aim of reflexology is to encourage the body to establish a natural healthy balance and this may or may not promote a healing crisis. This is perfectly normal and is a sign that your body is healing and detoxifying holistically on many levels. Please do not be concerned if you experience any of the following symptoms below:
* Cold like symptoms (more mucus, sore throat, cough)

* Conditions seem worse
* Increased perspiration
* Headaches (if prone)
*Dreams (can be vivid)

PLEASE NOTE
- These are temporary symptoms and should last no longer than 24-48 hours.
