Satisfied Souls

My Reflexology Service is a complementary therapy that treats the whole of the body through the stimulation of certain reflex points located on the feet. Reflexologists use light pressure to massage each of the points in the toes, feet and ankles to release tension, remove energy blockages, disperse accumulations of calcium and uric acid, stimulate blood circulation and promote healing of both body and mind.

Reflexology stimulates the body’s own healing process in order to keep it balanced. It works by correcting any imbalances that can occur through illness, accident, disease or even lifestyle, and can help to overcome years of neglect and abuse.

Reflexology helps maintain and restore health and is a safe, natural and gentle therapy that can be used on anybody, including the infirm, the elderly and even babies.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF REFLEXOLOGY THERAPY?
Reflexology relieves stress and tension and has a deeply relaxing effect:
75% of disease is estimated to be stress related.
In order to function, the body needs energy in the form of oxygen and nutrients which are circulated in the blood. As Reflexology improves blood circulation, it thus increases the efficiency of all the organs and cells.
It helps release trapped nervous energy and improves neural efficiency; approximately 7000 nerves are stimulated by reflexology massage.
It improves waste removal and elimination.
It activates the body’s self healing.

A common side effect is an increased number of visits to the toilet as Reflexology encourages the elimination of toxins from the body.

WHAT DOES MY REFLEXOLOGY SERVICE ENTAIL?

The first treatment is usually the longest as this involves a full consultation including medical history and lifestyle. From there I will examine your feet, cleanse them, relax them and then start the treatment. The most important thing is for you to simply relax back in the recliner, listen to the relaxation music and enjoy your treatment.

After this initial examination and treatment, I’ll be able to advise you how many treatments you are likely to need. These will need to be spread over a number of weeks to enable the body to heal itself effectively and each treatment will be around an hour in length.
