REFLEXOLOGY
About Reflexology
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, Improved 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.
I am trained in the following additional Reflexology techniques:
Facial Reflexology
Hand Reflexology
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD)
Vertical Reflexology Therapy (VRT)
Reflexology to support Conception, Pregnancy and Menopause
Reflexology to support living with Cancer

Reflexology on the Feet
Only shoes and socks are removed before reclining on a massage table. 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 or foot spritz to freshen the feet and then an appropriate choice of organic wax, cream or oil applied to work the reflexes.
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD)
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.

Reflexology on the Hands
Reflexes are also found on the hands which can have the same balancing and deeply relaxing effect on the body.
The treatment includes working the reflexes and meridians of the arms, hands and fingers to encourage blood circulation and lymph flow, with or without products,
