Reflexology
Gentle pressure, deep systemic balance
Reflexology is an ancient healing art that has been practised in the East since around 500BC. It was founded as ‘Zone Therapy’ in the West in the early 1900’s by Dr Fitzgerald, who recognised its pain relieving benefits and first used it to desensitise the teeth for dental operations.
Reflexology follows the theory that there are points on areas including the face, feet and hands that correspond with all the organs, glands and structures of the body. It works by looking at the feet, hands or face as a micro system of the body, for example; the toes/fingers represent the sinuses. When the Reflexologist stimulates an area or ‘reflex point’ using gentle thumb and finger techniques, this in turn can stimulate the natural healing responses of the body.
What's involved?
This is a very simple treatment to receive, at most you will be asked to remove your shoes and socks. Lay down on a massage table and relax as a small amount of cream/oil is applied to the feet. Gentle and specific pressure techniques are applied to rebalance any disturbances found by the practitioner. Reflexology is not painful nor ticklish. It is very gentle, relaxing and therapeutic, treating the body and mind on many levels. It can be used to complement the treatment of many conditions and is particularly beneficial for relieving stress and anxiety.

Client Feedback
"I live with MS and with that comes challenges. Emma has helped me in lots of different ways, and will always go the extra mile to help resolve any issues I have. I mostly have reflexology (every two weeks) and my sessions are tailored to whatever I need on the day. Emma is a very gentle soul, and having therapies with her is a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended." ~ Sheila
"I have been suffering from anxiety, for the last year, but now feel so much better - thanks to Emma. Her knowledge and compassion are second to none and she has guided me through a very difficult time. We have taken a holistic approach involving meditation, sound therapy, somatic healing and reflexology, and each have contributed to calming my nervous system and making my body feel safe - thereby reducing anxiety. I so look forward to my weekly sessions and am so glad I found her. Everyone should have an Emma in their lives!" ~ Yvonne
