Functional Reflex Therapy

---

The Functional Reflex Therapy Framework for Reflexology is designed for children and adults of all ages with high levels of stress, anxiety, autism, ADHD, special educational needs and disabilities and is an enjoyable beneficial experience for more vulnerable adults with Dementia and Alzheimer's. 

Functional Reflex Therapy aims to: 

Reduce stress and anxiety

Relieve tension

Help improve mood

Encourage social interaction and increase receptiveness

Nurture individuals in their preparation for ongoing activities

Aid digestion, stimulating the whole digestive system 

Help improve quality of sleep by calming the nervous system

Support emotional and physical well-being 

The primary intention of Reflexology using the FRT approach is relaxation through the combination of positive-touch and calming techniques.

Applying these techniques encourages the body to release 'Happy Chemicals' including Oxytocin and Serotonin which allow the body to relax, improve a person's mood, reduce anxiety and support well-being. 

This is a very relaxing and nurturing reflexology therapy delivered to individuals either through their hands or feet depending on the individuals wishes. 

The Functional Reflex Therapy Rainbow Routine is currently being used in some schools across the UK and some care settings, delivered by fully trained FRT reflexologists.

I offer this therapy either individually, through home visits or through visiting schools and treating pupils as a timetabled therapy. 

I am currently treating staff and students at The Holmewood School London, two days per week, to support their mental, emotional and physical health and wellbeing. Both the staff and students look forward to their weekly sessions and the feedback has been extremely positive.

I also offer workshops in this therapy to parents, grandparents and carers, where I teach 

the lovely positive touch 'Rainbow Relaxation Routine', allowing them to deliver the routine to their family members at home.
