Reflexology is based on the theory that different areas on the feet, lower leg, hands, face or ears, correspond with different parts of the body. These areas, or reflexes, are worked using gentle thumb and finger pressure.
Reflexology does not diagnose but treats each person as an individual.
The benefits may include: Relaxation, Release of Tension, Promotion of Positive wellbeing, Increased Mood, Better Sleep, Improved Circulation.
Reflexology is a wonderful opportunity to de-stress and relax for all ages. It can also provide that extra support for women whose lives may become more challenging; when preparing to conceive, during pregnancy, post natally, and for those experiencing perimenopause /menopausal symptoms.
Only shoes and socks are removed before reclining on a massage couch. Let me know in advance if you have any mobility issues so that we can discuss adapting the treatment and possibly use different techniques to ensure you are comfortable.
After assessing the feet, I use warm towels to freshen the feet and then an appropriate choice of organic wax or cream applied to work the reflexes.
I am trained in the following additional techniques:
Facial Reflexology
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage
Vertical Reflexology Therapy
Reflexology to Support Conception, Pregnancy and Menopause

I am an approved RLD practitioner, and trained with Sally Kay, who researched and developed this reflexology technique which has been found to have an affect on the body's lymphatic system.

A calming Facial Reflexology treatment (developed by Ziggy Bergman) uses gentle finger pressure to balance the reflexes of the face.
First we discuss the best products for your skin. I offer a gentle organic cleanser (optional) followed by hot towels, before applying an organic facial oil to work the reflexes.
Facial reflexology can help to relieve tension and tightness in the facial muscles and promotes a deeply relaxing experience.
