Regular reflexology treatments may help relieve the effects of stress and generally improve health and wellbeing
Reflexology is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is a non-invasive, complimentary holistic technique which has now become more widely studied and accepted as a therapy which has the ability to assist the body to heal itself.
As a practicing Reflexologist for over 20 years, I understand there are ‘unseen’ connections on the feet, for instance, which connect to vital organs and systems in the body, via nerves, circulation and energy channels (meridians).
In a typical session I will apply specific massage and finger techniques specific to reflexology to stimulate these ‘hidden’ connections to the body, and remove any obvious energy blockages.
Many people have tender or uncomfortable areas on their feet, and these provide a sign or convey information relating to the corresponding body part or system. It is then my goal to ‘read and interpret’ these signs and messages your body is conveying via your feet. Strange as it might seem, but can be quite illuminating and often makes sense if you are experiencing problems in that area of the body already. Often the signs through your feet have to do with the stress we hold inside of us, not just ill-fitting shoes. Reflexology specific techniques are applied to these tender areas and carefully released.
The goal in each session is to improve all aspects of the bodily systems, such as circulation, digestion, elimination of waste and toxins, release of lymphatic accumulations, calm the nervous system, relieve stress and anxiety, reduce pain and tension, etc.
Reflexology is useful for most health conditions – here are just a few to consider:
Stress and anxiety, stimulating the relaxation response
General health and wellbeing
Improved energy levels (chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, etc)
Improving quality of sleep and insomnia
Relief of headaches & migraines (depending on cause)
Pregnancy discomfort (nausea, indigestion, back discomfort, sciatica, swollen feet, relaxation)
Plus much more…
Please Note: Many conditions may be assisted with regular reflexology sessions. But as always, if your health condition or pain persists, seek medical attention without delay. Reflexology, whilst very helpful, is not a replacement for good quality medical care. I often say to clients: “If you are in pain, or are suffering from a medical or emotional condition, seek medical attention first, ascertain what you are dealing with, and then seek reflexology to help you recover naturally.
Reflexology is most effective at providing deeper states of calm and relaxation and this is one of the most effective ways to help your body heal.

Full Body Balancing Reflexology
1 1/2 hours – This is usually offered for first-timers of reflexology or brand-new clients, but also great for any follow-up treatments if you prefer the extra relaxation time. A professional intake form is filled out and a discussion about your current health, stress levels and expectations for the session is undertaken. A warm bubbling aromatic foot spa will soak, detox and relax your feet, followed by your balancing treatment. Whilst it is important to target any tender parts of the feet, my technique is not to cause undue pain and discomfort. You will feel so much more relaxed with increased energy, improvement in pain scores and feel lighter and brighter. Regular sessions are recommended for longstanding or chronic conditions, however you should experience some measure of relief after the first treatment.
Reflexology for the Soul
1 1/2 – 2 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 introduce crystal and aromatic techniques to clear and balance your human energy field and 7 chakra centres. Reflexology for the Soul is about bringing all of your four body systems (mental, emotional, physical & spiritual) back into its natural balance. Very relaxing and uplifting.
