A lot of people assume reflexology is basically massage — but they’re actually two very different modalities that pair beautifully together. ✨
Massage therapy works directly with the body’s soft tissues: the muscles, ligaments, fascia, and all those areas where tension likes to hide. It’s amazing for easing tightness and supporting physical comfort.
Reflexology takes a different route. Instead of focusing on tissue, it targets mapped reflex points that communicate with the nervous system and correspond to various organs and glandular functions. By stimulating these points, reflexology encourages balance, supports internal pathways, and can create a deep, whole-body sense of calm.
Each modality brings its own kind of healing — and when combined, they can elevate your wellness in a powerful, complementary way. 🌟

✨👣Reflexology is so much more than a “fancy foot massage.”
It’s a deeply therapeutic practice that supports the nervous system, encourages whole-body balance, and helps melt away layers of stress you didn’t even realize you were holding.
During a session, I work through specific reflex points and pathways—using intentional pressure, structure, and flow—to support your body’s natural ability to reset, regulate, and restore. Most clients drift off, unwind, and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and human again.
If you’ve been curious about reflexology or you’re craving deep rest, this is your invitation to try it for yourself. 🌿

✨️Reading messages like this reminds me why I do what I do.
When someone finds relief after years of jaw pain, it’s not just about easing tension—it’s about helping the whole body remember how to relax and rebalance.
These TMJ sessions are gentle yet deeply restorative, and knowing they bring lasting comfort truly fills my heart.🥰🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience and trusting me on your healing journey 🤍

It's World Reflexology Week! 👣
📖 Reflexology is rooted in ancient traditions, with origins tracing back to Egypt, China and India. The practice is based on the principle that specific points on the feet, hands, ears & face correspond to different organs and systems within the body. By applying focused pressure to these areas, Reflexologists aim to trigger the body’s natural healing processes and restore internal balance.
Did you know every area of your body is mirrored on your feet? 🤯
The foot map you see here, in slide 2, shows the location of these reflex areas. For example, the tips of the toes relate to the head and sinuses, the arch corresponds to digestive organs, and the heel reflects the lower back and pelvic area.
The Benefits of Reflexology
✨ Stress Relief – Calms the nervous system and eases tension.
✨ Better Circulation – Supports healthy blood flow and cell nourishment.
✨ Pain Relief – May ease discomfort from headaches, back pain, or arthritis.
✨ Overall Wellbeing – Encourages restful sleep, balanced energy, and harmony.
📅 Book your session and experience how reflexology supports your whole body from the ground up!

Welcome to Folk Roots Restorative where we reconnect you to your roots!
Folk Roots Restorative is a wellness company that wants to help contribute to your personal growth, healing & zen needs. Our goal is to accomplish true relaxation & rejuvenation through the use of Thai Yoga Massage, private or group embodiment yoga classes, Reiki energy healing & Access Bars energy work.
For many, Thai yoga massage is a new concept and is relatively new to the western world. The techniques applied have been used for centuries to help relieve muscular stress, joint tension & lower back pain. It increases flexibility, strengthens the body, improves circulation, freeing blockages in energy flow & stimulates internal organs. Thai yoga massage also enhances detoxification from mental, emotional, physical strain; revitalizing and releasing stress. It can enhance the body, mind and psyche connection, heightening awareness and gives a general feeling of well being. Itis a system that empowers an individual to recognize where they hold tension and how to let that tension go. It is essentially a personalized yoga session with therapeutic intent to help one find a connected space with their self (body and mind) enter into a state of full relaxation, restoration & healing. Thai Yoga Therapy works with aspects of cranial-sacrial therapy, breath work, energy work, meditation, mantra & mudra, massage work within the meridian lines to help release blockages in the energetic system to increase energy flow through the body & uses an Ayurvedic approach to assessing & supporting the balance of emotions and energetic system of ones body. Folk Roots Restorative also incorporates the use of Reiki & /or Bars on it's own or entwined with Thai yoga therapy sessions.
Reiki is a form of energy healing & is the universal life force that connects all living things. It is the gift of vitality and self preservation encoded into the genetic makeup of all living creatures & beings. Reiki is holistic, working on the body, mind & even spirit by stimulating a person's own natural healing abilities. It is channeled through the hands and when lightly placed over a person with the intent of healing we connect with the universal life force, the wisdom of Reiki then goes to work to bring about healing, balance & whatever is needed at a holistic level. Reiki is pure energy, it is available to all who wish to tap into it, accept it & become one with it's energy and wisdom. Words cannot adequately describe Reiki, it needs to be experienced. It will change your life for the better if you are open to the energy and allow it to envelop your mind, body & spirit.
Access Bars is another type of energy healing that really allows one to reset and let go of any limiting beliefs you may be holding onto weather we'd like to admit it or not. It allows you to let go of these negatives and start a fresh, open minded state of consciousness. Essentially stopping the mind chatter & allowing you to let go of what no longer serves you. Bars allows one to learn how to truly receive. This is done by lightly holding 32 locations on the head in a specific sequence. Everyone may experience this in a different way but the results are astounding! The best way to find out about access bars is to try it! How does it get any better then this?!
Embodiment yoga classes are gentle, intuitive, restorative classes all about learning to listen to your body & really getting in tune with your true self . You'll learn the basics of foundational yoga postures and how to grow your practice class by class working through all the elements (Earth, Water, Fire Air, & Ether) in a mindful and loving connection with self. This is offered both privately or in group classes.
What you'll need for the session/class is to come prepared with an open heart and mind. It is best to wear comfortable clothing you can move freely in. Bringing a water bottle is never a bad idea either! Sessions can be booked for 60 or 90 minutes . Sessions can be booked at the Folk Roots Restorative in-home studio or we can offer a mobile service & come to you for an additional fee. Bookings can be made via email folkrootsinfo@gmail.com or by phone 403-804-3118. *Please inquire for more info.*
About the owner
Sara first found an interest in the world of health at a young age due to being exposed to many sporting activities. She has grown up in the Calgary soccer community & was heavily involved in the sport for over 15 years competitively. Her background in sport has taught her the importance of maintaining healthy movement in the body. Sara graduated college & started work in the healthcare field as a Registered Dental Assistant. After graduating, she realized how significant maintaining movement, stretching on a daily basis and living in a pain free range of motion was, to up hold a long term career in this field of work. The road to enlightenment continued as she herself dealt with several injuries of her own over the years. That is what lead her to find & learn about the world of yoga. It was there that she was enlightened, she had already learned all of these moves years before, they were just done in a different way. Feeling as though something in her was sparked she followed this path to become a Certified Yoga Teacher with 200 hours under her belt & continued advanced training to become specialized as a trauma informed Thai Yoga Therapist at the 500 hour level through the Mandorla yoga institute. It was here that she finally felt she found her calling, she has experienced first hand the wonders of what Thai yoga, when done mindfully and intelligently, can do for ones body. Not only physically but mentally & emotionally too. Along her journey learning Thai yoga therapy she also discovered the art of Reiki healing and how working with the energy at a more intimate level can optimize ones healing journey. She went on to become certified in Reiki level 1 & 2, continuing to work towards her mastery level. Along with this modality, Sara had also discovered the art of Bars healing. She became a certified Bars practitioner shortly after discovering it's powerful effectiveness in allowing one to let go of negative limiting beliefs and become more consciously aware in the world surrounding us. It is these things that have given her the drive to share these wonderful modalities with the world and help bring people back to their roots and reclaim their bodies! Thank you for placing your trust in Folk Roots Restorative, I look forward to working with you to achieve optimum health.
