Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient Eastern healing tradition which enables imbalances or energy blockages to be found and treated.  This is based on the principle that all parts of the body are connected by energy pathways which end in the hands, feet and head - removing these blockages can restore optimum health and rebalance the body and mind on all levels.

The treatment involves gentle stimulation and massage of reflex points on the hands, body or feet with each point corresponding to a particular organ or body system.  This releases tension and helps energy to flow around the body.

Reflexology stimulates lymphatic flow, organ health and circulation.  It can break down scar tissue promoting normal cell growth and so is very beneficial post-operatively to help with the healing process.  It also has a tranquillising effect on the nervous system inducing a calm and positive sense of well-being.

Studies have shown that regular reflexology is particularly beneficial pre-pregnancy to enhance fertility, and can give many benefits to expectant mothers pre-birth.

Whether or not you have had previous reflexology treatments your first session will begin with a consultation about yourself, your medical history and what you would like to achieve.
