REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is a natural Holistic Therapy, which uses specific pressures and massage techniques on your feet. It stimulates your circulation, nervous, and lymphatic systems, and helps to de-toxify your body; it also helps boost your immune system and balance your body's energies.
It is believed that your whole body is mapped or 'reflected' onto your feet. By activating 'reflex' points through reflexology, your body's own healing processes are stimulated. Reflexology works both physically and emotionally and leaves you with a feeling of deep relaxation and well-being.

What is Vertical Reflexology (VRT)?
VRT is a type of reflexology that is applied to the top of your feet while you stand, It can be used alone or together with conventional Reflexology.

What can it help?
Reflexology has been found to help many conditions, including:

• aches and pains

• arthritis

• anxiety and stress

• bowel conditions

• period problems

• grief and depression

• headaches

• insomnia

• low energy

and much more.
As it induces relaxation it is helpful as a preventative treatment for those with stressful jobs or lifestyles

What Happens During a Treatment?
At the first appointment you will be asked some basic health and lifestyle questions. This will help me to tailor the treatment to your needs, and will be reviewed at each appointment. Everything will remain confidential.
You will only need to take off your shoes and socks. I use a light cream during treatment, followed by a short foot massage at the end.
Some clients worry about the condition of their feet, especially if coming straight from work! I can assure you that this is quite normal and will not be a problem for me. I will always clean your feet before starting a treatment.

Although Reflexology is non-invasive and very safe, clients with certain medical conditions may be asked to check with their GP before treatment.

Will Reflexology tickle or hurt?
Some areas of your feet may be more sensitive than others, but I do not set out to hurt you, and will adjust the pressure to suit you. Those with ticklish feet are often surprised that Reflexology does not affect them.
Please ask for a 'taster' session if you are concerned.
