What are the benefits of reflexology?

Because of the lack of scientific research, all we can claim is that it aids sleep, releases tension, improves mood, promotes wellbeing and is relaxing.

Even if that was all that people got out of a reflexology session, that would inevitably lead to countless other benefits because your body would be in the right state to get itself back to its optimum functioning.

But don't take my word for it, here's what some clients have said following their treatments;

"I had such a good sleep"
"It helped with the stress of work"
"I feel physically and mentally better"
"I'm pregnant!"
"I feel renewed"
"My monthly treatment are non-negotiable"

I love reflexology! 👣

Auricular reflexology

Auricular or ear reflexology is the stimulation of the auricle or surface of the ear to support the optimal functioning of the body. It is based on Chinese acupuncture and acupressure points, and also incorporates points relating directly to organs and systems of the body.

The proximity of nerve endings in the ear to the brain, and specifically the vagus nerve, is thought to contribute to the effectiveness of this treatment in alleviating pain and helping to calm the nervous system.

After the reflexology massage, ear seeds are placed on acupressure points on the ear. The seed applies a constant, gentle pressure on the specific point, extending the effects of the treatment beyond the session. You can also press the seed to further stimulate the area, and are advised to keep them on for 5-7 days. They are tiny black seeds from the vaccaria plant, held in place with sticking plaster. Metallic beads on clear stickers can also be used.

Sessions can be completely focused on the ears, or in combination with a foot reflexology treatment.

The client in the photo had a 90 minute treatment, starting with ear reflexology to induce deep relaxation, followed by 60mins of foot reflexology, then placing of ear seeds. The points were chosen based on areas of imbalance that were apparent during the foot reflexology session.

What is reflexology?
A complimentary therapy which treats the whole person by stimulating reflex points on the feet, ears, or face, using gentle pressure. It is based on the theory that we can access body systems and organs through the over 7000 nerve endings in the feet, or direct neural pathways in the ears and face, helping to remove energy blockages, stimulating blood flow and encouraging the movement of lymph - the body's own detoxification system.

How does it work?
Unless it is overwhelmed by disease, our bodies have the amazing ability to heal themselves by repairing or regenerating damaged cells and rebalancing body systems.

Unfortunately, our modern lives give our bodies lots of 'noise' to deal with, distracting them from doing the repair work needed to keep us at our optimum.

Reflexology works by helping you slow down and relax, giving your body the chance to focus on what it needs. It encourages you to let go of stress and tension, breathe more deeply, settle your busy mind, and simply take time out to recharge.

What can I expect during a treatment?
You can lie down or sit slightly raised on a massage couch or reclining chair, depending on your needs and comfort. The room is softly lit with relaxing music in the background. You may want to chat, or close your eyes and drift away, or a bit of both, whatever you feel like at the time.

Foot reflexology - The treatment starts with a short foot cleanse, then a reflexology routine suited to your particular requirements using an organic, nurturing reflexology balm or cream. It will last 60 minutes.

Auricular reflexology - A full session includes 25 minutes of ear massage, covering the entire ear surface to stimulate acupressure and functional reflex points. This is followed by the placement of ear seeds to continue the therapeutic effects of the treatment. No cream or balm is used on the ears.

It's World Reflexology Week! 👣

That time of year when I suddenly become active on socials for 5 days in a row 😅

This year i'm kicking off with something I get asked by people who don't really take time to relax - how is one hour of reflexology going to help with my stress when it's not taking my stressors away?!

Reflexology and other therapies that focus on relaxation and wellbeing are all similar in that they want to help your body go into its parasympathetic state - switching off your flight or flight response and allowing your body to rest and restore itself. It's only when it does this that your body can put its attention onto making everything work properly. This is also when your brain can use logic and rational thinking as it isn't in survival mode.

Reflexology interrupts the pattern of stress, breaking the cycle of constant reaction and high alert. When you come out of this state, things seem a lot more manageable.

Why not give it a try? 👣
