efficiently. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing.

How does it work?
How does it work?
Congestion or tension in a particular part of the body is mirrored in congestion or tension in a particular place in the foot. For example, a winter cold may produce symptoms such as a headache, sore throat, earache and even a stiff neck. By applying pressure to the corresponding zones on the feet in a systematic way, you will be able to relieve these painful and irritating symptoms. This will work whether the problem is a cold, congestion, backache, digestive ailment, poor circulation, insomnia or depression. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet. By working on these areas of the feet, the reflexologist can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. The way the therapy is applied and the effect it will have on the body are unique to each individual client. Normally, tension in the body will ease and circulation and elimination will improve.

What happens during a Reflexology session?
Your first visit will begin with a consultation to discuss any health issues you may have, or areas that you would like to address and then a quick foot soak to prepare the foot for relaxation. During the fully clothed session any discomfort you may feel will be fleeting, and might be an indication of congestion or imbalance in a corresponding part of your body. For the most part, you will find the sensation pleasant and soothing. Many clients actually fall asleep during session. After reflexology the body feels charged.
