• Would you like increased energy levels?
  
  
• Do you rarely find the time to sit down and properly relax?
  
  
• Does your body feel out of balance, or just ‘not quite right’?
  
  
• Or maybe you would just like some ‘me time’!

…Reflexology might be the treatment for you!

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is an ancient touch therapy consisting of the application of pressure to defined points on the feet.
It can be traced back to ancient Egypt and China.

Reflexology helps the body to gently detoxify and may alleviate the effects of stress and lowered immunity.

Some people enjoy the therapy purely for its relaxation benefits and as a way of maintaining a good level of health and wellbeing.

What happens during a treatment?

A Reflexology treatment lasts an hour. Before the first session, a full consultation is given, which includes taking a medical history.
You remain fully clothed throughout; you are only required to remove your shoes and socks.

There may be areas on the feet that feel more sensitive than others as I am working over them. Each point on the foot corresponds to a part of the body, so I am able to determine which areas of the body are under most stress.

The whole of the body is always treated during a session, despite what condition you may want particular help with. This is because Reflexology is a holistic therapy and so takes into account the whole person rather than just symptoms.

As a Reflexologist I believe that when one area of the body is out of balance, it can have a knock-on effect on other areas, or likewise could be due to a problem in another area of the body or an emotional issue.

It is worth mentioning that even people with ticklish feet can enjoy Reflexology! The feet are held in such a way that you won’t feel ticklish…promise!

  Kind Words from Clients
  
  Female, 62, Teacher
  
  For many years I have had intermittent problems with my sinuses.
  When Rebecca started treatment I was suffering with blocked sinuses. Reflexology cleared the problem and I have maintained clear airways. Rebecca is very easy to talk to and I now look on her as a valued friend. I have recommended her to friends who have also benefitted from her treatments.

  At first I was sceptical about alternative therapies but I had got to the point where I was willing to give anything a try. Rebecca came highly recommended to me by a close friend so I immediately felt at ease talking to her. After only the first Reflexology treatment I was hooked! I can honestly say that it has been the only thing that has helped me and it genuinely has improved my quality of life no end. More than this though, having Rebecca there to talk to at any time has been one of the biggest sources of support. I found that whilst my condition started as very much a physical illness, as things progressed, the doctors couldn’t help, drugs failed to work, friends and family got bored listening or I got frustrated talking about it, it started to manifest itself as very much an emotional condition. Nobody likes the words “stress” or “depression” but that was how I was feeling. I didn’t want to resort to antidepressants or being signed off from work (the only answers the doctors could come up with!) and just having somebody to talk to who is neutral and doesn’t judge you but really understands what you are going through has been invaluable. I would have no hesitation recommending Rebecca to anybody at all. A couple of friends have already contacted her and been extremely impressed by her professionalism and approachable nature and have gained great benefit from her treatments. For me though, she has helped me get back to “the old me” and for that I cannot thank her enough!
