Reflexology is based on the principle that reflex points on the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body. During the treatment points on the feet (or hands) are stimulated with a gentle to firm pressure to detect and restore imbalances within the body to bring about a state of deep relaxation and encourage the body’s natural healing abilities and equilibrium.
Reflexology is a safe and non-invasive Complementary Therapy suitable for most including children and young people, pregnant women and older people and only shoes and socks need to be removed. Sessions last 1hr and your first session would last 1hr 20 to complete a confidential health and well-being questionnaire. Each treatment will be tailored to your needs and will include a variety of advanced techniques. Some of the Continued Professional Development courses I have completed that inform my practice include Spinal Reflexology; Maternity Reflexology, Precision Reflexology; Reflexology and Cancer and Footreading. Aftercare advice suggestions are given at the end of each treatment.
I have completed the Functional Reflex Training with Lorraine Senior designed for children and adults of all ages with high levels of anxiety, intellectual difficulties, autism, special educational needs and disabilities. It is an enjoyable and beneficial experience for more vulnerable adults with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Important: Reflexology is usually safe to have alongside conventional medicine but if you are currently having any medical treatment please speak to your GP before booking an appointment.
Experience the benefits of Reflexology with the added luxury of warm basalt stones with reflexology techniques upon the feet and lower legs to bring about enhanced relaxation.
Hot Stone Reflexology really does take Reflexology to another level helping you to feel restored, rebalanced and rejuvenated. The heat penetrates to a much deeper level than finger pressure & may reach up to 7-8cms into the superficial layer of muscle.
This brings about physiological changes as well as improving energy flow and it is warming, deeply relaxing and soothing therapy that helps melt away any tension and anxiety.
Important: Please note that Hot Stone Reflexology may not be suitable for health conditions including varicose veins, skin conditions aggravated by moisture or heat (dermatitis) and during the first trimester of pregnancy.
