Reflexology

Reflexology (feet, face, hands & ears)

Reflexology is the stimulation of points on the Feet, Face, Ears and Hands which relate to all parts of the body.

Reflexology helps your body to stimulate natural energy to rebalance itself, relieve tension and encourage healing from the inside out.

Reflexology may benefit many issues including the following:

  • PMS/menopausal symptoms
  • hormonal imbalances
  • digestive issues
  • joint pain and mobility (arthritis, sore back, stiff joints)
  • respiratory problems (asthma, ear, nose and throat problems)
  • sleep issues
  • sinusitis and hay fever
  • fibromyalgia

 

The main aim of Reflexology is to promote and encourage relaxation, restful sleep and induce a state of calm and well-being throughout your body and mind.

Reflexology does not cure, as only the body can do that, but it does facilitate healing and balancing within the body.

During a foot Reflexology session you only remove your shoes and socks and then lie back and relax – and no it doesn’t tickle.  

 

Ear Reflexology

Ear Reflexology also known as Auricular Therapy is well researched and has been acknowledged for its effectiveness in helping with issues such as physical and emotional pain, mobility and allergies.  I will let the testimonial below speak for itself in the effectiveness of Ear Reflexology.  Ear Seeds are commonly used in Ear Reflexology as the seeds carry on working the reflex point after your session, for sustained benefit.  I have found it to be particularly useful for sinus issues, hay fever symptoms, headaches, joint and muscle pain.  Like all Reflexology it is wonderful for reducing feelings of stress and anxiety and promoting a wonderful sense of wellbeing.

Facial Reflexology (Bergman Method)

Facial Reflexology has the same benefits as Foot Reflexology and as we store a lot of emotions in our face, working the facial reflexes can assist to give a lovely fresh, glowing complexion and relieve mental tension and tight facial muscles.  It may be useful for stress, headaches, migraines, bruxism, bells palsy and sinus issues.  

This treatment starts with a hot towel cleanse before applying organic face oil, then carrying out a gentle décolletage and neck massage prior to your Facial Reflexology.

If you don’t like your feet being touched but would love to experience the many benefits of Reflexology then Facial Reflexology is for you.  

For those who can’t attend in person, a guided self-treatment can be carried out via Zoom.

Reflexology for Menopause

This treatment is specifically designed to assist women with their Menopausal issues, from peri-menopause through to post-menopause.  My aim is to gently guide women through this natural transition phase, ready for the next chapter of their lives.

Are you suffering with any symptoms of Menopause?

Would you like to take a holistic approach to this natural phase of your life?

Would you like to improve your well-being and reduce stress levels?

If you answered yes to these questions then Menopause Reflexology may be able to help.

This is a time to put your physical, emotional and mental health first.  It is a time for relaxation and working and balancing your hormones.  Bear in mind that the menopause is a process and reflexology isn’t a miracle cure but will hopefully greatly assist your body at this stage of your life.

Reflexology for Peripheral Neuropathy

Carol Samuel’s Pain in Cancer Survivors Reflexology course is designed to aid people who are experiencing pain as a result of cancer and the treatments received for it.  The Reflexology sequence I learned is for Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy which is one of the most common types of pain experienced by cancer survivors but the course also covered radiation toxicity induced pain, persistent post-surgical pain, pain as a consequence of hormonal therapy and fascial changes and tissue integrity.
