Reflexology

---

Reflexology is a soothing non-invasive therapy based on the theory that different points on the feet, hands, face and ears correspond with different areas of the body. When pressure is applied to these areas or ‘reflexes’ it helps to restore homeostasis/ 'balance' in the whole body.

By applying pressure to these reflex points I am indirectly working with each and every part of the body, which creates real benefits for a person’s health. 

So how can touching various points on your body help with your health and bring your body and mind back into balance? 

Reflexology stimulates the nerves in the body part being worked on, encouraging the clearing of any blockages and helping energy to flow freely. This allows the body to deeply relax and encourages the body’s natural healing processes to begin.

Reflexology benefits: 

• Induces deep relaxation
• Reduces stress and anxiety 
• It supports the body to re-balance
• Reduces muscle tension, aches & pains
• Helps with digestive issues
• Boosts the immune system
• Aids hormonal balance 
• Better quality sleep 
• Improves and stabilises overall mood
• Boosts self-esteem 
• Encourages the release of 'Happy Chemicals' throughout the body, including Serotonin and Oxytocin 
• Enhances overall wellbeing and many other benefits

Depression, Anxiety, Arthritis, Asthma, Eczema, Chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, ME, Sinus problems, Headaches, Migraines, Neck pain, Frozen Shoulder,  Back pain, Sciatica, Plantar Fasciitis, Hay fever, Insomnia, Hormonal imbalances, PMS, Menopausal symptoms, Autoimmune diseases, Mental Health conditions and so much more.
