The practice of reflexology – massaging and stimulating areas of the feet in order to aid the body's healing processes – dates back to the Egyptians. Reflexology works on the principle that an organ or gland found in the body will have its ‘reflex area' in a corresponding part of the foot – each foot is mapped out to reflect the structure of the body. Where there is imbalance in the body, there are usually crystal-like deposits or congestion in the feet, and by working these, reflexology helps to release deep-rooted problems. The general goal is to create harmony or ‘homeostasis' in the body, when all bodily systems are functioning in balance.

A reflexology treatment can help address specific problems, both physical and psychological, and clients report a huge sense of wellbeing after a treatment. Many clients use reflexology as a way of switching off or unwinding after a busy day and find it the perfect antidote to our stress-fuelled lives. It is difficult to explain the feeling you get after a session, so come along and experience it for yourself!

What to expect : A reflexology treatment takes place with the client lying fully clothed on the couch, with a blanket if needed.Throughout the treatment, I work only on the feet, which allows you to drift off into deep relaxation. Before the treatment, I will take a full medical history and we will discuss specific needs to I can tailor the treatment to you. Afterwards, I will talk you through some aftercare advice so you can benefit fully from your reflexology.
