Reflexology
Reflexology is a very safe, relaxing and non-invasive therapy, it gently treats the whole body through compression massage of the hands or feet, encouraging overall balance and harmony. It is an ancient treatment - there is evidence of it being practised in China, India and Egypt as far back as 4000BC. Reflex points on the feet are linked to various parts of the body by meridians (a type of energy line). By consciously working on the reflex points tension and blockages can be released throughout the body and energy field, encouraging more of your life energy to freely flow.
Through the feet the whole body receives an effective treatment that helps to increase physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. It is deeply relaxing and helps to release stress, blockages, tension and congestion thus increasing physical, mental and emotional well being. I have been practicing reflexology for over 10 years and continue to be amazed by the powerful effect it has on people.

How Reflexology can help?
Having your feet massaged during a reflexology session can be a wonderfully blissful and holistic experience. I work intuitively and sessions vary depending on your particular needs and preferences. One of my aims is to empower you to find right alignment within. While reflexology is an excellent, physical treatment, it can be much more than that. By supporting you to open up and release tightness, it enables more of your natural energy or chi to flow through, which can profoundly enhance your life. It can assist in the release of blockages, held emotion and the gaining of clarity and insight.
Reflexology is a powerful way of releasing tension and blockages within your system
which are preventing your soul and life energy from flowing freely,
thus harmony and balance can naturally be restored and health issues resolved.
