Reflexology
Reflexology is based on the belief that there are reflex or acupressure points on the feet, hands, ears and face which connect – via the nervous system – to all glands, organs and systems of the body. This is similar, in many ways, to the principle of meridian channels in Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
Stimulating these reflex points through firm thumb, finger and hand pressure, sends electrical impulses through your entire nervous system. This can help to reset and balance hormones, relax muscles and reduce stress levels. Reflexology aims to restore the natural health and vitality of your whole body, and can leave your feeling incredibly relaxed and rebalanced.
I have been practicing Reflexology since 2008, and over the years my clients have told me they have experienced effects such as:
- Reduced stress
- Relief of muscle tension
- Feelings of deep relaxation
- Increased energy levels
- Stronger immune system
- Improved circulation
- Pain relief
A course of Reflexology (generally 6 sessions) may also be beneficial for conditions such as:
- Fatigue
- Back Pain
- Sinusitis
- Pre-Menstrual Syndrome
- Symptoms of Menopause
- Migraine
- Stress
- Anxiety
- High blood pressure
- IBS
- Infertility
- Depression
Treatments generally take place in my therapy room however, Reflexology on the beach or in the woods adds a different dimension to a session. Breathing in the fresh air, listening to the sounds of nature and gazing at beautiful views can bring an even deeper level of relaxation to your therapy session. I have a portable Reflexology chair to ensure you feel completely comfortable whilst you receive your treatment.

Reflexology Workshops
I teach a form of Reflexology called Sound Reflex Therapy, which involves applying tuning forks to the reflex points on the hands, feet or face. The tuning fork vibrations deepen the stimulus effect on the nervous system and can make the Reflexology treatment even more effective.
I also teach bespoke self-help workshops for families who wish to offer Reflexology treatments at home to help partners or children manage some of the health conditions mentioned above.
