Reflexology is a specialised massage technique that applies varying types of pressure to the feet, hands, and ears. It’s also known as Zone Therapy.

This therapeutic practice is founded on the idea that specific pressure points on these areas correspond to particular organs and body parts, similarly to acupuncture and acupressure. By carefully applying different levels of pressure to specific areas of the feet, hands, or ears, reflexology can lead to a wide range of health benefits. These may include significant relief from both physical stress and emotional stress, as it plays a crucial role in aiding the restoration of balance and harmony throughout the mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach not only promotes relaxation but also supports overall well-being.

Reflexology draws upon the ancient Chinese concept of "Chi," which refers to our vital life force energy present within everyone. When this energy becomes blocked due to unresolved emotions, traumas, or stress, it can lead to the development of illnesses and physical discomfort or pain within the body. Reflexology can help to release these stored emotions and stress.

Reflexology is very safe and is a complementary therapy to medical treatments, even for people living with serious health conditions. It’s noninvasive and comfortable to receive, so it may be worth trying if it’s something you’re interested in.

Reflexology has roots in ancient healing practices and has been used in different cultures for thousands of years. It is believed to have originated in Ancient Egypt, China, and India. Evidence of reflexology-like practices has been found in a 4,000-year-old Egyptian tomb painting, which shows people massaging the hands and feet.

The practice of modern Reflexology was developed in the early 20th century by an American physiotherapist named Eunice Ingham. She mapped out reflex points on the feet and hands, linking them to different organs and body systems, thus creating the basis for modern reflexology practices.

Reflexologists believe that certain areas on the feet, hands, or ears are connected to specific organs and body systems through "reflex points" or "zones." By applying pressure to these reflex points, practitioners aim to stimulate the corresponding organ or system to promote natural healing and energy flow throughout the body. The underlying principle is that the body is divided into ten vertical zones, and each zone corresponds to certain body parts.

1. Stress Relief and Relaxation:

   • Reflexology is widely known for its ability to reduce stress and induce deep relaxation. By stimulating nerve endings and pressure points, the treatment helps relax muscles and ease mental tension.

2. Improved Circulation:

   • Reflexology may improve blood flow throughout the body, which can help oxygenate cells and tissues, remove toxins, and promote healing.

3. Pain Relief:

   • Reflexology can help manage pain, particularly for conditions like headaches, migraines, back pain, and joint pain. Some studies have shown it can be beneficial for reducing pain after surgery or cancer treatments.

4. Balance and Homeostasis:

   • Reflexology is believed to help restore balance in the body and support the body's natural healing process by improving the flow of energy or stimulating the nervous system.

5. Boosted Immunity:

   • By stimulating specific reflex points related to immune function, reflexology may support the immune system and help the body fight off illness more effectively.

6. Better Sleep:

   • Reflexology's relaxation benefits often lead to improved sleep quality, as it helps ease stress and anxiety that can interfere with restful sleep.

7. Digestive Support:

   • Reflexology can support digestion by stimulating reflex points related to the stomach and intestines, which may help alleviate issues like bloating, constipation, and indigestion.

When you arrive, you’ll step into a calming, quiet environment with soft music, dim lighting, and the comforting aroma of sage, palo santo or incense in the air. You’ll be invited to lie down on a comfortable massage table with a bolster under your knees and feet to help you feel supported and completely at ease. I recommend wearing something comfortable so you can fully relax into the experience.

Before we begin, I’ll guide you through a calming visualisation meditation to help settle your nervous system and bring you into the present moment. This will be gently accompanied by the cleansing properties of sage / incense and the soothing tones of sound healing. Everything is done with the intention of helping you feel safe, held, and grounded.

My focus is currently on reflexology of the feet and hands, which is where I hold my Level 3 qualification. I’m also trained in trauma-informed coaching, which means I bring a compassionate, non-judgmental, and sensitive approach to our sessions. You’re always in control of your experience, and I’ll check in as needed to ensure you feel safe and supported throughout.

Once you're fully settled, I’ll begin by gently massaging a nourishing balm or soft wax into your feet, helping the muscles soften and your mind unwind. I’ll then move into working with specific reflex points using mild to moderate pressure, applying various reflexology techniques. I tend to cover the whole area for a balanced and grounding session, but I may return to certain points if your body seems to call for it.

I also love to incorporate elements like crystal therapy and sound healing, which can deepen relaxation and support emotional release. Some people feel very calm, some feel more energised afterward, and others may notice emotions or sensations moving through the body. However your experience unfolds, it’s welcome.
