How can reflexology help you?
Reflexology helps you to let go of stress and anxiety, lifts your mood and helps you to sleep better. Leaving you feeling blissfully relaxed, peaceful, warm, happy and balanced.
All you need to do is to remove your shoes and socks, lie back, relax and enjoy your treatment.
Reflexology is much more than a foot massage. If you would like to relax and heal through your feet then reflexology may be just what you are looking for. Everyone regardless of age can benefit from reflexology as it is a very safe, natural and non-invasive treatment.
Modern reflexology is attributed to the work of Eunice Ingham (known as the mother of reflexology) who gave it the name we know it as today. She mapped out reflex points on the feet and hands with corresponding organs, glands and parts of the body. Reflexology works on the principle that all major organs, glands and body parts are connected through energy pathways called zones. These zones end in reflex points on your feet and hands.
When these energy pathways become congested your body reflects this to you. You may experience physical/and/or emotional symptoms and feelings of discomfort.
You do not need to have a health condition to enjoy reflexology as it provides a wonderful way to de-stress, relax and unwind.
Your Reflexology Treatment
At your first appointment your health and lifestyle history is taken. This is when we discuss what you expect to gain from your treatment and the approach to take.
To receive your treatment you will be asked to remove your shoes and socks. You will then relax in a semi reclined position on the therapy couch.
Following this, your feet will be wiped over with a refreshing solution. Your treatment will begin and end with a soothing foot massage. I use Songbird reflexology waxes and balms which are infused with essential oils and are 100% natural. You can choose from relaxing, uplifting or harmonising blends.
Your feet and reflexes will then be worked, using specific holds and pressures. Your treatment will feel relaxing and comforting. Although you may experience some tenderness in places, this will usually be brief. Sensitivity is an indicator of stress in that area, showing a weak link reflecting the need for further attention. Pressure will of course be adjusted to ensure your comfort. At no time should you feel pain from your treatment. I use a gentle touch and have developed this way of working over many years of successful treatments.
How is reflexology applied?
I use specific techniques of holds and pressures on the reflex points on the feet. Stimulating or relaxing the reflex point to restore the free flow of energy along the pathways (zones). This has a positive effect on all levels, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
For each person the application and effect of the therapy is unique. The aim is to restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Thus easing tension, promoting relaxation, triggering your body's natural healing mechanism and returning you to a state of balance and well- being.
