reflexology

Although variations of reflexology have been in existence since ancient times, modern reflexology was developed by American physiotherapist Eunice Ingham in the 1930s.  Ingham identified reflex points on the feet which correspond with parts of the body.  She discovered that manipulating these points could trigger a positive healing effect in the body.

What happens when I go for a treatment?

In your first session I will carry out a consultation to establish your past and present health, diet and lifestyle.  This consultation is an essential part of your treatment as it allows me to find out about any health problems you have and design a treatment plan tailor-made to address your specific needs.  The consultation will take around 10-20 minutes.  I do not charge for the consultation, it is FREE!

A full treatment takes around 45-55 minutes.  It is carried out in a special reflexology chair.  There is no need to remove any clothing apart from shoes and socks.  (It is also advisable to avoid wearing very tight trousers as I will need to have access to your ankle area for some of the reflexes). 

During the treatment I will work over the whole of both feet applying gentle pressure to the reflex points.  I will find any imbalances and work these points thoroughly.  This speeds the healing process and restores the body's natural balance. 

How will I feel after treatment?

The effects of reflexology are unique to each person but most people feel extremely relaxed and uplifted after a treatment.  Some people feel more energetic straight away, others feel drowsy at first and then energised later on - or the following day.  Nearly all report an excellent night's sleep and lasting improvements in their health and general wellbeing. 

I will give you aftercare advice at the end of your treatment to ensure that you get maximum and lasting benefits.

I am an Association of Reflexologists qualified practitioner.  To date, this is the highest possible level of training in the UK.  Although I treat all conditions I specialise in maternity and fertility reflexology.
