What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a therapy that uses the feet as a map or mirror of the whole body. Its main principle is that massaging and applying pressure to parts of the feet known as 'reflex areas', other corresponding and connected areas of the body will feel the benefit. The aim is to stimulate the body's own healing process in order to keep it in homeostasis (balanced). It is a holistic therapy - which means it works on the principle that the 'whole' person must be treated, if one area is out of balance others will be also. It encourages both relaxation and stimulation. Relaxation helps activate the circulation and nervous systems making both more efficient and thus benefiting the whole body. Stimulation helps the body rebuild its energy resources and recover from illness and disease.

I first came across reflexology when I was pregnant with my second child. I went for reflexology treatments throughout the whole of my pregnancy and I feel it made a huge difference to my pregnancy and labour. Since then I have had reflexology treatments regularly and was eager to learn more about this fascinating treatment so went on and completed a Diploma in Reflexology in 2014. I have a strong belief and passion for the principles of reflexology and thoroughly enjoy both giving and receiving the treatment. The benefits of reflexology are huge - reduces stress, induces relaxation, improves circulation, cleanses the body of toxins and impurities, balances the whole system, boosts the immune system - to name but a few!
