Reflexology is an ancient practice focused on activating pressure points in the feet, hands and ears. Practised in diverse cultures for centuries, Reflexology is a method of touch therapy and a natural healing art. For preventative care or in response to physical or emotional distress, a Reflexology session acts as a catalyst to aid the body towards its own natural healing process. Reflexology is based on the belief that these specific areas of the body (reflex points) are connected to every part, internal organ and gland of the body. Through stimulating these nerve pathways and meridians, healing is promoted and balance within the body is restored.

Reflexology treatments involve using varying degrees of pressure with the hands, fingers and thumbs to create a calming touch. This calming touch combined with specialised Reflexology techniques can help soothe the central nervous system, calm nerves, reduce stress and in turn, diminish pain. As human beings, we can see the direct effect that a loving touch has on our well-being. Our heart rate slows and our nervous system drops into parasympathetic mode thus reducing any emotional distress we may be feeling, enabling the body’s natural healing wisdom. 

Reflexology works together with modern medicine and can help patients with health issues, whether it’s clearing sinus congestion to helping to treat peripheral neuropathy (nerve problems and numbness). 

I use a European form of Holistic and Swedish massage. It allows the body to relax and detoxify at the same time; improves circulation, releases trapped energy from tense muscles and stimulates the production of natural endorphins - the body’s own painkillers and mood enhancers.

Aromatherapy uses the scents derived from the distillation of high quality natural oils from plants. These oils can be used in many ways, including topically with a carrier oil or lotion, or simply diffused into the air. The ancient practice of aromatherapy is extremely popular today and can be as basic as using lavender oil to promote sleep to a carefully curated regime to boost immunity and help recover from an illness. Combined with the healing touch of massage and Reflexology, you’ll leave your session feeling relaxed and renewed.

An ancient Tibetan healing art, Reiki translates as “Universal Life Force Energy”. A method of Energy healing which accelerates and promotes balance on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Often a client will feel heat from the practitioner’s hands and a sense of calm. As well as being effective on its own, Reiki works well in combination with other therapies, enhancing the treatment.
