Reflexology is a complementary, holistic therapy which works on the premise that there are reflex points on the feet, hands and ears. These reflex points correspond to all of the different parts of the body, including organs and glands. By stimulating or soothing these reflexes, many health issues may benefit in a safe and natural way. Reflexology may work with the body to restore it's own natural balance and is suitable for most people. However, you don't need to be ill to benefit, you may just want to take the opportunity to relax, de-stress and take time for yourself. Having regular reflexology treatments may be ideal as a preventative measure. It is recommended that you have 4-6 weekly treatments depending on what your health concerns are.

 

Many health conditions may benefit from reflexology, here are  just a few;

 

• Hormonal imbalances, such as peri/post menopause PMS, irregular or painful periods. 

• Stress and anxiety

• Hypertension

• Digestive conditions, such as IBS

• Headaches/ migraines

• Insomnia

• Fertility issues 

• Chronic pain conditions

 

Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy that is guided for the purpose of spiritual growth and healing. Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-intrusive hands-on healing technique, which uses energy to treat physical ailments without using pressure, manipulation or massage. It is a holistic system for balancing, healing and harmonising all aspects of the person – body, mind, emotions and spirit. Reiki is becoming very popular as many people experience it and find it has something lovely to offer them and their lives. Reiki is excellent for helping you on every level in your life. It is also wonderful for personal growth and development.

 

Not only is Reiki deeply relaxing it can also help in other ways too. Sometimes it is the right time to move on or let go. Maybe it is a time of life change i.e. the children are leaving home, or coping with bereavement. Sometimes it can be challenging as emotional issues are dealt with, however most clients report a transition to a better place and are delighted with the results.
