Reflexology or Zone therapy as it is also known is a simple, non-invasive technique used to assist the body to achieve optimal health, relieve stress and promote wellbeing. It’s practice dates back thousands of years to ancient China and Egypt but was introduced to western society by a number of pivotal people, namely Dr William Fitzgerald and Eunice Ingram, last century.
It entails the application of firm pressure, particularly through fingers and thumbs, directly to ‘reflex points’ located on the hands and feet. This stimulates the movement of energy or chi throughout the body, which directly impacts the related body system (digestive, nervous, urinary, circulatory, lymphatic) or organ (lungs, pancreas, liver, heart, intestines) or body part (head, neck, toe, elbow, hip), encouraging and assisting the body to heal itself. Reflexology is most useful as a preventative healthcare measure but is also immensely helpful in improving many types of physical and emotional health issues.
There is lots of information I can share with you, at your request, including supportive research studies carried out, eg. cancer, diabetes, MS, pain management.
I encourage you to make an appointment, visit my clinic in Picton and experience for yourself the health improvements reflexology can make.
Healing with Therapeutic & Intuitive Reflexology
Reflexology for Body Balancing & Stress Relief
1 hour – Let your stress and worries float away as you relax and unwind. Experience a heavenly aromatic foot soak followed by a balancing and healing foot reflexology treatment. If you’re interested, you can learn about your body through the discrete messages revealed through your feet. Reflexology recognizes the need for relaxation to occur before the body will properly focus on its own healing.
Reflexology for Body, Mind and Spirit
1 ½ hours – Restore your inner peace and harmony through a full balancing of body, mind and spirit. Experience more energy and vitality, improved restful sleep. I use therapeutic and intuitive reflexology techniques to improve the flow of “chi” energy throughout the body’s systems as well as crystals to balance the 7 main energy centres (chakras). Reflexology for body, mind and spirit is about bringing all of your four body systems (mental, emotional, physical & spiritual) back into its natural balance.
Ultimate Head-to-toe Reflexology Balancing
2 hours – Completely relax and drift off into La-La-land, with the ultimate healing treatment, focusing on improving “chi” energy flow throughout the main reflexes on your feet, hands, face, ears, head (scalp), neck & shoulders. Specialized techniques using both finger pressure and crystal tools will be used and a gentle facial cleanser and light balancing and nourishing oil on the face and ears, hands and feet. Exquisite Halo Drops will then be massaged into the scalp releasing further tension or tightness. (Note: Halo drops can be omitted if you’d rather not have oil in your hair) Promotes wellbeing, noticeable improvements to the complexion, releasing tension and stress from the whole body. A perfect gift for someone you love.
