Due to personal circumstances I am not providing treatments at present but I hope to resume in early 2019. Thank you to my clients for your support in the past, and I look forward to your continued support in the future.

The Treatment

During a reflexology treatment, a gentle pressure is applied to the foot, this is held for a moment or so and then, released. The client may feel pressure in areas that are not balanced or where blockages have accrued. These feelings should never be very uncomfortable; in areas corresponding to parts of the body that are in balance, then just the feeling of pressure will occur.

The main aim of Reflexology is to help the body’s own healing process and maintain homeostasis or balance in the body.

Treatment to all of the reflex areas in both feet will take about 50 minutes and during this time the client will be fully clothed, sitting in a comfortable, reclining position with the feet raised. An additional benefit of this treatment is the relaxation effect, however, a wide range of disorders can be helped by reflexology, including problems such as migraines, sinus congestion, backache, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and circulatory problems. Reflexology does not claim to be able to cure all disorders, but there are very many instances where treatment can be of great benefit.

Following treatment, it is possible in some instances for certain ‘healing reactions’ to occur, such as streaming nose (if there is sinus congestion) or increased bladder activity. These reactions will only be short term and will occur only after the first few treatments. After treatment, many people feel tired, though others may feel quite energized, and often people report how well they sleep.

For most conditions, a course of treatment is required – typically once a week for six weeks. After three treatments, some response should be seen; in some cases there may already be a great improvement, whereas in others it may take longer. In many cases people have a course of treatment from which they benefit and then decide to continue at intervals of, for example, every four or six weeks in order to maintain good health and to try to prevent other problems from arising.
