Pamper your feet and hands with a one hour foot reflexology session or a luxurious one and a half hour foot and hand reflexology session. Reflexology sessions include hot towels, essential oils, and a foot massage at the end. During the session, the client remains fully clothed and removes only their shoes and socks.I will also give you feedback on any reflex points in the feet or hands where I find congestion or tension.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a safe, non-invasive, holistic treatment involving compression massage to reflex areas on the feet or hands, that correlate to all glands, organs, parts and systems of the body. The physical act of applying pressure using thumb, finger and hand techniques to these reflex areas results in the reduction of stress which in turn, promotes physiological changes in the body. During the session, the client remains fully clothed and removes only their shoes and socks.
Reflexology’s primary goal is to help release tension from the body. It has been estimated that 75% of visits to primary care doctors are for stress-related problems. Reflexology releases stress and helps our body return to its natural state of optimum health.
Some of the benefits of reflexology may also include:
- promoting a feeling of deep relaxation
- reducing stress and tension in the body
- increasing lymphatic drainage and blood circulation
- helping with digestion and elimination of waste and toxins
- increasing nerve stimulation and blood supply to the body
- stimulating endorphins in the body to promote natural healing
- reducing muscle pain and tension
- helping with PMS symptoms
- Revitalizing tired feet
Reflexology is not intended to diagnose medical conditions or replace the care of a doctor.

REFLEXOLOGY LYMPH DRAINAGE
Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is an award winning reflexology technique which focuses on gently stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. The aim is to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body. It is a unique sequence that has been researched and developed by Sally Kay, while working on clients with cancer in the UK. For more information, visit Sally Kay's website.
RLD can help with inflammation in the body. It reduces swelling by creating space for the excess lymph to go, encouraging to re-route. RLD is particularly beneficial for:
Primary Lymphoedema
Secondary Lymphoedema
Arthritis/Rheumatoid Arthritis
Inflammation
Swelling
Post Operation Recovery (cosmetic procedures)
Pregnancy Related Oedema
Allergies
Headaches
Sinus Problems
Skin conditions (Eczema, Psoriasis)
Migraines
Muscle Tension
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
PMS
Approximately 20% of breast cancer patients develop secondary lymphoedema (tissue swelling due to lymph drainage issues) of the arm following treatment. Lymphoedema symptoms and side effects can cause physical and psychological problems which impact on quality of life. RLD is based on Manual Lymph Drainage massage via the reflexes on the feet and can help support you to improve confidence and quality of life.

What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga nidra (meaning 'yogic sleep" in Sanskrit) is a sleep-based meditation practice. You don't have to "do" anything but lie down, get comfortable, relax, and listen to my voice guide you into a deep, sleep-like state (while you still maintain a trace of awareness).
No yoga experience is required and anyone can do it, regardless of physical ability. Even first time meditators can enter into a state of deep relaxation through yoga nidra. For more information on yoga nidra, visit my Deep Rest Yoga website.
