About Reflexology
Reflexology is a safe, non-invasive holistic therapy that dates back for thousands of years. It can actually be traced back to the ancient civilisations of Egypt, India and China.
It is based on the premise that the organs and systems of the body are mirrored in small areas or reflexes on the feet, hands and face and that by gently stimulating these reflexes using various thumb and finger techniques, the Reflexologist can bring the body back to a state of balance.
Reflexology cannot cure and a Reflexologist cannot diagnose, but Reflexology can kick start the body's own healing mechanisms and can help to improve a persons overall physical and mental wellbeing.
Some of the benefits of Reflexology:-
- Helps to promote deep relaxation which in today's busy digital world is something that is often lacking in our lives.

- Promotes the efficient elimination of toxins and waste from the body.
I carry out treatments in my own home using a comfortable reclining chair with fleece throws. I use a scented oil burner and will play soothing music during the treatment. You only need to remove shoes and socks.
The initial treatment will include a full and confidential consultation which will enable me to prepare a treatment plan to suit your individual needs. You should allow one hour thirty minutes for this appointment. Thereafter, allow up to to 1 hour 15 minutes for each appointment. The Reflexology treatment itself takes 50 to 60 minutes.
