Reflexology
A deeply relaxing complementary health therapy
Reflexology is a complementary health therapy that is deeply relaxing and boosts the immune system by stimulating the body’s own healing system through the application of pressure on specific points or reflexes on the feet and hands. There are around 7,200 nerve endings in each foot and reflex points that correspond to organs, parts and systems of the body.
The origins of Reflexology date back 5,000 years ago and has roots in Egypt, China, India and Africa.
Reflexology can be practiced on most babies, children and adults. A thorough consultation will be completed before treatment to discuss any medical history, general health and lifestyle. In some cases, a Doctor’s consent may be required prior to treatment.
How can Reflexology help me?
Reflexology is beneficial as it can help reduce stress and anxiety, reduce pain, lift moods and improve general well-being, all of which help the body feel rejuvenated, re- balanced and re-energised. Other potential benefits include:

Each reflexology treatment will last up to 60 minutes. Based on your consultation, you will receive a bespoke treatment and a treatment plan for subsequent sessions. A course of 6 treatments is generally recommended for ultimate benefit.
Facial Reflexology
Reflexology can be performed on the feet, hands and face. Facial Reflexology is based on the same principle as traditional hand and foot reflexology however it focuses on the reflex points on the face to help stimulate the body’s own healing system and eliminate toxins from the body.
Facial Reflexology not only can make you look more youthful by smoothing and toning the skin, but due to its close proximity to the brain and cranial nerves, is an effective and powerful way to help rebalance the whole body and ultimately make you feel better from the inside out.
There are many benefits to Facial Reflexology which can help with certain conditions such as:
- Stress - TMJ
