Frequently Asked Questions

Reflexology is a therapeutic practice based on the principle that specific points on the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs and systems in the body. By applying pressure to these reflex points, reflexologists aim to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and support the body's natural healing processes.

Reflex points in the hands , feet and ears and face (and peripheral elements of the body) correspond or mirror parts of the body. Stimulating these points assists energy flow and restores harmony and reduces feelings of anxiety.

No, reflexology is different from a traditional foot massage. While a foot massage focuses on general relaxation and muscle tension relief, reflexology targets specific reflex points to address imbalances in various parts of the body.

Some reported benefits of reflexology include:

• Stress relief and relaxation

• Improved circulation

• Pain management (e.g., headaches, back pain)

• Enhanced overall well-being

Reflexology is generally safe for people of all ages, from children to the elderly. It may be particularly helpful for individuals dealing with:

• Stress and anxiety

• Chronic pain

• Digestive issues

• Hormonal imbalances

• Sleep disorders.

Reflexology is generally not painful. However, some points may feel tender or sensitive, especially where a build up of toxins has accumulated. Working these areas I adjust pressure to meet your own level of comfort.

A typical reflexology session with myself lasts 60 minutes.

The frequency depends on your goals. For general relaxation, sessions once a month may suffice, while chronic issues might require weekly or bi-weekly treatments and 6 to 8 sessions.

No special preparation is needed. Wear comfortable clothing, and ensure your feet and hands are clean.

An initial consultation is required before treatments commence to gather health history and discuss specific concerns during your first session. This takes between 10 and 15 minutes.
