Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the principle that our organs, systems and parts of our body are mapped onto reflex points in our feet and hands. Using specific techniques to accurately stimulate these points can support our overall wellbeing and promote deep relaxation. It brings wonderful benefits for people of any age.
The theory is that reflexology helps the body and mind to naturally restore its balance. My reflexology treatments are tailored to you and your objectives, taking a holistic view of both the physical and non-physical factors that may be affecting your wellbeing.
As reflexology is a complementary therapy it can be beneficial alongside any conventional medical treatment.
Lots of positive research projects have been carried out with reflexology, but unfortunately at the moment there isn't a large enough body of evidence to make clinical claims of effectiveness. After a reflexology treatment most people experience a feeling of deep relaxation and reduced tension. It is very beneficial for reducing stress, which can be can be key in optimising good health and building resilience. You might notice your sleep improves, along with your mood and sense of wellbeing. It's usual for other aspects get better too, this happens on an individual basis.
As a Level 5 Practitioner I have experience with clients who require palliative care and supporting clients with cancer. Working with clients to enhance fertility and provide maternity care, reflexology lymph drainage (RLD), menopause and NEPIP reflexology (NeuroEndoPsychoImmunoPody).
NEPIP is a unique style of reflexology designed to promote effective communication between the mind and body. It supports the limbic, immune, nervous and endocrine systems and can be particularly beneficial for anyone experiencing stress or anxiety, in need of deep relaxation.
