FAQ's

Reflexology is a holistic therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or face to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. It is based on the principle that these reflex points correspond to different organs and systems in the body. By working specific pressure points on the reflected areas, balance is naturally restored.

Reflexologists do not claim to treat, cure, diagnose or prescribe. Reflexology works on a very individual basis and each treatment is tailored to you as a whole person. Reflexology can be really beneficial for reducing stress within the body, naturally optimising good health. It is very effective for relieving tension, lifting your mood and can aid a more restorative sleep. It promotes deep relaxation and balance within the body, stimulating the body's own healing processes and encouraging homeostasis.

Sessions usually last for 50 minutes. The duration may vary based on individual needs and preferences.

Reflexology is generally safe for most people and can be received at any age, from newborn babies through to those coming to the end of their life and everyone in between. However, there will be certain situations when it would not be suitable to provide a treatment.
