About Reflexology

Reflexology is a Holistic Treatment for Mind and Body which involves working on your feet and sometimes hands. It is a unique treatment using fingers and thumbs on the reflexes of the feet. It is not a massage it is a deep treatment sending messages from your feet to your body.

Reflexology may help to restore the body’s natural balance, increase energy levels, improve sleep patterns, boost the immune system and improve your general well being helping to keep your body in good working order and resisting illness.

About Maternity Reflexology

Pregnancy is a time when you need to take special care of yourself and your growing baby.
Reflexology can help you to take time to relax helping your body to prepare itself for all the changes it will go through. Reflexology may help you cope with morning sickness, back pain, pelvic pain, swollen ankles and general stress or worry. Reflexology may help to balance hormones which can play havoc with your emotions and it may help you to keep calm and relaxed giving yourself a chance for the best possible birthing experience.



Amongst other things Reflexology can:

  • Relieve stress and tension (responsible for 75% of illness)
  • Improve nerve and blood supply (restoring vital energy pathways)
  • Encourage Homeostatis (the body's natural ability to heal itself)
