| Reflexology
is a natural therapy, based on the principle that areas on
your feet and hands are connected by "reflexes"
to each of the organs and structures in your body.
A reflex
works like a light switch which when pressed, restores the
flow of energy the bulb and it functions correctly. Likewise
when a reflex is stimulated with gentle pressure, the flow
of energy is restored to its corresponding organ, restoring
balance.
Reflexology
seeks to rebalance the flow of energy, or circulation, around
your body, to enable it to heal itself.
Reflexology reduces stress by inducing a state of deep relaxation
which revitalises energy and helps the body to rid itself
of toxins.
Reflexology
is also an excellent form of preventative care.
A Reflexologist cannot diagnose an illness or write a prescription
for it - he or she will encourage your body to activate its
own healing power.

Your
treatment will consist of a relaxing foot soak and an even
more relaxing foot massage. This is followed by a more specific,
but very gentle, pressure on the reflex areas of your feet.
The
hands may be treated if you are uncomfortable with having
someone touching you feet, although being ticklish need not
mean that you cannot have a treatment on your feet –
mine are very very ticklish but I love my treatments!
