Reflexology is a non-invasive, relaxing, holistic, vitality enhancing therapy working on the feet and hands to help heal the whole person not just the prevailing symptoms. There are reflex points on the feet and hands relating to all areas of the body. These reflexes are worked through massage to restore the body’s natural balance by releasing toxins and blockages that impede energy flow/ Chi. The relaxing effects of reflexology contribute greatly to restoring and maintaining good health.

A reflexology session generally starts with an overview of your medical history to ensure the practitioner understands your needs and concerns and is aware of any under lying health conditions you may have. Next you will lie comfortably on a treatment couch/chair while gentle pressure is applied to your hands and/or feet using specific finger and thumb techniques, relaxing the body so that the natural internal healing mechanisms of the body can do their work.

About

I discovered my love of Reflexology when I received my first Reflexology session at the age of 22.  Since then I have travelled the world as an International Flight Attendant, and enjoyed experiencing and learning about the various styles of therapeutic Reflexology.  This has helped me to discover and develop my own style which I would describe as a gentle, nurturing, relaxing approach.

I believe this style of Reflexology melts your body into a deep state of relaxation great for anyone that needs to destress in today’s challenging living and working environments.  Most of find us ourselves getting stuck in the Fight or Flight mode. Let me help you activate your parasympathetic nervous system Rest and Digest and bring you back into balance.

Reflexology performed by a skilled professional is among the most relaxing therapies, it gently nudges the body towards its own innate healing process. As a practitioner I work with care, compassion, and mindfulness, understanding the unique power and transformative potential that can be unleashed through this treatment technique promoting health and wellbeing unique to the individual.

My goal is to create the space within you that allows for relaxation, healing, and wellness to happen.
