Reflexology is a holistic complementary therapy based on the theory that the feet and hands are a direct microcosm of the whole body, that they contain reflex points which correspond to different organs, systems and glands of the body. The right foot and hand reflect the right side of the body and left foot and hand the left side.

                                                                       

After illness, injury or periods of stress the body’s systems are often thrown out of balance and its vital energy pathways become blocked, stopping the body from functioning effectively.  By applying pressure with your thumbs and fingers to stimulate these reflexes, a state of deep relaxation is triggered which allows the nervous system to calm down. Together with improved circulation, the body is encouraged to restore its normal healthy balance and overall sense of well-being. The practitioner is primarily acting as a mediator to activate the client’s own healing potential.

​

• Reduce tension and fatigue by promoting relaxation

• Boost the body’s ability to heal itself
