Reflexology

Reflexology is a powerful holistic complementary therapy used to treat and help heal the whole person, maintaining positive health. It can be deeply relaxing and of benefit to most of us in this busy stressful age.

There are many outward signs on the foot which indicate an area of the body that is not functioning efficiently. A professionally trained reflexologist can detect subtle changes in specific points on the feet, and by working on these points, affect the corresponding organ or system of the body.

Most people notice an immediate improvement in their general well-being and feel more relaxed or energised. Reflexology can be used to help restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium. This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance.
