Reflexology The technique for Reflexology is similar in principle to acupuncture, it involves working with the reflex points on the hands or feet to release congestion or blockages in the vital energy pathways that flow around the body, allowing the energy to flow freely and restore the body back to its natural balanced state.
It is based on the principle that there are reflexes on the feet and hands that relate to each organ, gland and structure in the body, in effect, the feet and hands are miniature maps of the entire body and that tension, blockages or congestion in different parts of the body will be reflected in the body reflexes found on the feet or hands. Gentle stimulation of the appropriate reflex points on the hands or feet will restore the flow of vital energy around the body, thereby allowing the body to heal itself at its own pace.
What to expect during a Reflexology TreatmentOn your first visit there is a preliminary talk with the practitioner and you will be asked to give a brief medical history, details of any problems you may be experiencing currently and some pertinent information regarding your lifestyle. On any subsequent visits a brief discussion will take place to enable you to update the practitioner on any developments following on from the last session. Each case is looked at holistically on an individual basis. The number of treatments required will depend on the condition being treated and how long it has existed and the practitioner will discuss and reassess this throughout the course of treatments.
All treatments last approximately 1 to 1½ hours and take place in the comfort and serenity of my healing rooms surrounded by soothing aromas and gentle relaxing music. The Reflexology treatment is carried out in the comfort of a reclining chair and can be performed on the feet or the hands, if preferred. The stimulation of the reflexes is gentle but firm so that the effect is soothing and does not tickle. If there is any discomfort felt on any of the reflexes it is usually fleeting and is an indication of congestion of imbalance in the related part of the body. Most people find the sessions deeply relaxing and rejuvenating and all will benefit in a way most appropriate to themselves. For each person the application and effect of the therapy is unique.
All the details of the whole consultation are completely confidential and client modesty is respected at all times.
MassageMassage has been used for centuries to prevent and aid recovery from diseases and heal injuries. Massage is a series of stroking, kneading, pressure and percussion movements applied to the surface of the body using cream or oil as a lubricant. The stresses and strains of modern living give rise to many physical complaints and as anxiety and tension build up in the body, they cause harmful effects on the system which often manifest themselves as muscular or skeletal problems. One of the prime benefits of massage is to the musculature system, to restore muscle tone by either loosening tight muscles or tightening loose muscle, removing toxic waste products from the muscle and improving the circulation, and lymph drainage.
The relaxing rhythmic movements of massage soothe away the aches and pains of the day and the effect that massage produces can help prevent the stresses and strains of modern living from having the cumulative effect on the body that can lead to illness and disease.

The length of the treatment varies depending on the composition of the massage session and usually each session is tailored to the specific needs of the recipient at that time. A full body massage lasts approximately 1 to 1½ hours, a back, neck and shoulder massage, a foot massage, a foot and leg massage or a hand, arm and shoulder massage all last for 30 minutes and a back, head, neck and shoulder massage lasts for approximately 45 minutes. All treatments are carried out on a therapy couch and take place in the comfort and serenity of my healing rooms surrounded by soothing aromas and gentle relaxing music. If there is any discomfort felt on any parts of the body during the massage session it is usually short lived and is an often an indication of a build up of tension in the muscles. Most people find the sessions deeply relaxing and beneficial and for each person the application and effect of the therapy is unique.
