I am a Full member of The Association of Reflexologists (AOR). http://www.aor.org.uk/
Reflexology today is a precisely defined form of treatment based on the principle that the anatomy of the body is reflected in miniature on reflex zones on the feet and also on the hands (though a little less defined). By using specific techniques of holds and pressures on these regions, healing is both initiated and accelerated in the corresponding area of the body. Sometimes the body is in a state of ‘imbalance’ following illness or injury, disease or stress and energy pathways are blocked preventing the body from functioning effectively.
Reflexology helps restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing. One of the wonders of Reflexology is that it can bring about the same sensations of relaxation and restfulness that a full body massage can produce and therefore it can be considered most useful in the treatment of stress.
A reflexologist uses hands only to apply pressure to the feet. The therapy and the effects are unique to each person. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances from touching the feet and by working on the reflex points can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased and the circulation and elimination improved. The body is encouraged to heal itself. Since reflexology treats the whole person, not just the symptoms of particular problems, most people can benefit from treatment; therefore reflexology can be considered ideal for:
– Preventative therapy
– Children and adults
– Pre conception
– Fertility Support
– Pregnancy Labour, Birth and Beyond
– Stress related conditions
– Acute and chronic conditions
– Sleep disorders
Indeed Reflexology can benefit almost everyone! An increasing number of people are using this safe, natural therapy as a way of relaxing, balancing and harmonising the body.
At your first appointment I will take a medical and lifestyle history, please let me know before booking if you have a medical condition or have any serious health concerns. I cannot treat you if you have any infections of the feet. If in doubt please discuss when you call.
Please allow up to One and a half hours for the first treatment, which includes history taking.
For subsequent treatments please allow One hour, which includes a recap of the previous treatment
