Reflexology is the technique of applying gentle pressure to reflex points on the feet and hands to bring about a state of deep relaxation, stimulate the body's healing process and help us return to a state of balance and well-being. 

There are many theories about how Reflexology works, and I hope continuing research will enlighten us.  I believe reflexology works chiefly by calming the nervous and endocrine systems, and there is evidence that having touch therapies such as reflexology lowers the amount of cortisol (dubbed the 'stress hormone') in the body.  Stress puts us on red alert in a 'fight or flight' state.  When the 'threat' is gone our body systems should relax and revert to normal function, but if stress is a way of life then this often doesn’t happen enough, causing damage to the body.  It is estimated that  around 75% of illness is related to stress.

People have reported that reflexology has helped them with digestive disorders,  migraines and headaches, sinus problems, insomnia, stress and anxiety, male and female health problems, hormone related problems, back and joint pain, pregnancy and fertility issues and many other conditions.  VRT (Vertical Reflex Therapy) techniques may be incorporated into your reflexology treatments.  I can tailor a simple VRT routine to your needs for you to use at home between treatments, to boost the efficacy of your treatment plan.  

Facial Rejuvenation combines techniques from Facial Reflexology and Indian & Japanese Face Massage traditions.  As well as being blissfully relaxing, the massage helps to relieve tension, giving the facial muscles a lift and stimulating the circulation and lymphatic drainage.  Many people report a reduction in facial lines, and experience firmer and more radiant skin. 

Reiki is a Japanese healing tradition where the practitioner is a channel for the client to receive gentle healing energy.  Reiki encourages healing and elimination of toxins, and helps restore balance.  Most people report feelings of deep relaxation and delicious well-being and calm after a Reiki treatment.
