REFLEXOLOGY
ABOUT
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology has its roots in the ancient civilisations of Egypt, China and Africa. As we know it today, Reflexology was first researched and developed by Eunice Ingham. Her theory was that electrical impulses travel down the body, from the head to the feet, penetrating various organs and structures on the way. Reflexology is now a precisely defined form of treatment based on the principle that the anatomy of the body is reflected in miniature on reflex zones on the feet and the hands. By using specific techniques of holds and pressures on these areas, healing is encouraged in the corresponding area of the body. Each of my reflexology treatments is tailored to the individual, combining skills involving aromatherapy as in AromaReflexology (using essential oils), Mindful Reflexology using visualisation techniques or Spinal Reflexology which is very powerful to resolve structural issues affecting the general working of the body, especially rehabilitation after injury, or post-operation.

Reflexology is a safe approach to healing the body that relies entirely on the skill of the practitioner and the healing qualities of the patient. It is a natural method for enhancing physical health and emotional well-being that is part of good preventative health care. In short, a deeply relaxing therapy which may boost your immune system and stimulate all your internal organs, leaving you energised and refreshed.

Crystal Reflexology
With the consent of the patient, I may use crystals when working specific reflexes, especially when there is pain anywhere in the body, when there is a deep need for grounding, or in the case of burn-out.

Feel free to ask if appropriate in your case, or go for it anyway...it is a real add-on!

The benefits for everyone is increased relaxation, leading to faster healing and recovery but it also has a positive effect on the state of mind, better sleep and a genuine increased sense of contentment and well-being.
