Reflexology is a non-invasive, relaxing, holistic therapy. It can look and feel like a simple massage but reflexology involves the therapist working on reflex points on the feet or hands, which are believed to correspond to various organs and areas of the body.

 

Reflexologists believe that by working on these points they can help clear blockages in different zones of energy flow in the body and help the body to balance and heal itself.

 

There is evidence to suggest that reflexology has been used as far back in history as Ancient Egyptian times. A wall painting seemingly depicting reflexology treatment was found in a Pharaohs' tomb. Reflexology has also been used in many other ancient civilisations.

What can I expect from a treatment?

​

A reflexology treatment should be a real “treat” for you. I will provide a relaxing, calm and quite environment where you can feel safe and comfortable. As an eco therapist, as much as possible I will offer treatments in nature. Where it's not possible, I still use natural waxes and essential oils for treatments.

​

I will usually have a reclining chair or massage table for you to relax on, but can also work wherever you feel most at ease, for example with you sitting in an arm chair.

 

At your initial consultation you will be asked to complete a short medical questionnaire to ensure that reflexology is suitable for you, which for most people it is. You can then sit back and relax and let your feet/hands do the rest!

 

Treatments usually last between 45 minutes- 1 hour and at the end of your session you will be advised to drink water, eat healthily and try to rest for a couple of hours for the reflexology to be most effective.
