What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears which correspond to every part of the human body.  It is a natural, non-invasive and gentle healing therapy which stimulates the body’s own natural healing processes by encouraging rest, relaxation and repair responses.  By applying massage-like techniques to the feet or hands, all other body parts are positively affected.  Tension is relieved, circulation improved and the natural functioning of the body is promoted.

Essentially, reflexology helps to balance the physical, mental and emotional aspects of your entire body.  Although reflexology does not make any claims to cure, diagnose or prescribe, it is successfully used as an alternative or compliment to western medical treatment in many parts of the world today.

Benefits of Reflexology

Reflexology is beneficial for all ages and may provide relief from a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions.  It is recognized as a well-established, respected and effective therapy that can be used to maintain good health and help restore the body’s natural state of balance.

Reflexology has been shown to be an effective treatment for back pain, migraines, arthritis, sleep disorders, hormonal imbalances, sports injuries, digestive problems, stress-related conditions, and more.

What is a treatment is like?

Your first visit will include a health assessment to determine your present and past health conditions and lifestyle factors.  The Reflexologist will then use their hands to apply gentle massage-like techniques to the feet.  The application and effect of the therapy are unique to each individual.  A professionally trained Reflexologist can detect subtle changes in specific points on the feet and, by applying gentle pressure to these points, can affect the corresponding organ or system of the body.  A session usually lasts about one hour and most people feel very relaxed and invigorated after the treatment.

How often should I get treatment?

A course of treatments may be suggested depending on your needs.  For maintenance of health, treatments are recommended once or twice per month (more if desired).  For more serious health problems, treatments can be done more frequently. 

Cost of treatment:  $75 per session
