reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic therapy (holistic refers to the whole body, mind and soul) and aims to help restore health and balance to the whole person on all levels.
what is reflexology?
It is based on the principle that the body’s organs, glands and systems are mirrored on the hands and feet; they are referred to as reflexes. By applying specific finger and thumb pressure to these reflexes, imbalances can be detected by the practitioner and they are able to treat the areas in need of attention.

can reflexology help you?
Reflexology is thought to help with tension release, better sleep, stress, anxiety and depression. Some of my clients have experienced improvements with digestive conditions, migraines, and reduction in aches and pain related to chronic illness.
It is important to note that Reflexology should not be considered as an alternative to conventional medicine, but as a support to any medical treatment being received. A Reflexologist should not claim to diagnose, cure or prescribe.
how many treatments should I have?
This will depend on what you would like reflexology to do for you. if you are healthy and simply want relaxation a one off session is lovely to enjoy; to maintain a healthy balance some people like to have a treatment weekly or monthly. If you are suffering from a particular condition the quantity and frequency recommended will vary depending on your individual needs, 4-6 sessions given weekly should give you an indication if it is helping you.
only organic, natural and ethical
I use a range organic and natural balms, creams and oils in my treatments; all products are sourced within the UK from ethical providers. Organic essential oils are used to cleanse feet before a treatment. Vegan balms available.
