What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a very individual treatment which is tailored to you as a whole person. You’re not just a symptom or a presenting issue - you are a complex being. Reflexologists like to consider the whole of your physical, emotional and social needs, all of which can affect your wellbeing, when they are working with you.

I give most treatments to the feet or faces of my clients as I have found these to be easier to work with, and most effective. The theory is that reflexology helps the body to restore its balance naturally.

Reflexology is a gentle holistic touch therapy which stimulates nerve endings and reflex points in the feet, hands or face or even ears. These points reflect the organs and complete systems like the skin, digestion, circulation etc. of the body.

Foot reflexology is the therapeutic choice for most of my current clients - feet are easy to access, you don't need to get undressed and many people really enjoy having the treatment to their feet.  Gently pressing, kneading or stroking the foot reflex points can help your body to relax, improve sleep, release tension, help reduce symptoms of minor ailments and improve your mood and wellbeing. Of course, some people prefer not to have their feet touched, so I offer treatments to the face as an alternative.

Facial reflexology, just as foot reflexology is a beautifully relaxing, holistic, therapeutic treatment, and is carried out on the face and head. It can relieve tension which accumulates in the face, head and neck muscles. It's effective in reducing stress and tiredness, and can help to improve the condition and tone of the skin due to improved lymphatic drainage and blood circulation. It also incorporates some elements of massage and pressure points to enhance the experience.

Reflexology is relaxing to receive, you just have to lie down. If we're working to support you at home via online sessions, I teach you the reflexology points on the hands or face instead – much easier than trying to reach your own toes!

After reflexology, you may notice that you feel more relaxed, that you sleep better and that you feel more balanced overall.

Reflexology is a powerful way to resolve or reduce the impact of many health issues, especially for women's health, AND it’s a fantastic way for people to feel calmer, sleep better and feel less stressed. It also works WITH conventional medicine, not against it, allowing you to benefit from both!
