Reflexology- The Natural Way to Health - for ALL of you!
What is it?

This ancient healing art, introduced to the West in 1913 by an American ENT specialist, and further refined in 1930, aims to rebalance the body’s own energies back to a state where our natural healing abilities can be activated.

Stress, injury or disease, lead to a state of “energetic imbalance”, which prevents effective functioning of the body.

The whole of the body can be “mapped out” on the feet,and during treatment, areas of congestion, tension and imbalance can be identified and corrected, enabling correct energy flow to be achieved. This gentle therapy therefore encourages healing to take place at the body’s own pace, as nature intended.

What happens?

Before the first treatment, you will be asked about you, your lifestyle, diet and general health. You will then be asked to remove your shoes and socks (stockings), as treatmant normally takes place only on the feet. Most people find it a comfortable and relaxing experience, with children and the elderly responding extremely well. Some discomfort is occasionally felt, but this is short lived and is indicative of imbalances currently being experienced by the body.
Any adverse reactions to treatment such as tiredness,nausea, headache or an upsurge of emotion are perfectly natural and will pass very quickly. Normally you will experience only a feeling of relaxation and well-being.

General advice on diet, lifestyle and self-help measures for your condition will be offered at the end of the session.

Who can benefit?

Reflexology treats the whole person, not a set of symptoms, so everyone can benefit from treatment, whether you are trying to address a particular acute or chronic condition, or want to use the therapy to maintain your health and well-being.

The number of treatments you will need is dependant on your body’s needs. This would be discussed at your first consultation. Many people find that they like to use reflexology as a regular relaxing and balancing therapy, even after the initial problem for which they sought treatment has been dealt with.

Aromatherapy - Not just a massage with a nice smell!

Aromatherapy is the controlled use of essential oils, distilled from plants, trees and flowers, to help improve the health and balance of both mind and body. The treatment can help to keep you healthy, as well as playing an important part in returning you to better health if you are experiencing problems.

Massage is the most common way of administering oils in a treatment session, but you will be given information to help you choose and use oils at home to the greatest effect for your current situation and needs.

Oils will be individually blended for you at each session and may be used to address both physical and mental aspects of your condition, as appropriate at the time.

The powerful and varied actions of essential oils make it a very gentle, yet effective therapy for a wide range of conditions when undertaken on a regular basis, whilst some people prefer to use an occasional session more for relaxation and to experience feelings of extreme wellbeing.
