Reflexology is a very old and established therapy, thought to have originated in China or Egypt. Reflexology is the practice of stimulating reflexes in the feet that correspond to parts of the body.
Reflexology is a gentle and non- invasive therapy, an holistic therapy based on the principal that there are thousands of nerve endings in the feet that correspond to every organ and structure of the body.
It is therefore a whole body treatment, not just a foot massage!
Using specific hand, finger and thumb techniques, reflexology creates responses in the body that relate to the different reflexes in the feet.
Foot mapping can affect every system in the body, from the toes and their relationship to the head, neck and, sinuses, to the heel for lower back and areas of the pelvis.
I have completed extra training for fertility, pregnancy, children and also orthopedic reflexology.
