| Reflexology - what is it? | | | | |
Reflexology is the
art of foot massage. It can help to relieve various ailments by working on
reference points on the feet, which are believed to correspond to various systems and
organs of the body.
How does it
work?
Reflexology is based on the belief that vital energies, or Chi,
flow through meridians or channels in the body. By applying pressure to
any of the zones on the feet, the entire channel throughout the body is
affected, releasing trapped energy thus easing stress, pain and
discomfort.
The therapy is a convenient, accessible and drug
free way of stimulating the body's natural healing abilities, tuning-up
the body and staying healthy. There is no need to remove clothing and
no needles are used, so the therapy is non-invasive.
What
results can you expect?
The
first time you go to a Reflexologist you have a preliminary talk,
followed by the therapy, which usually lasts about an hour. After the
therapy your body may respond In various ways and this information is
vital to your Reflexologist as it tells them how you are responding to
your therapy. During the course of your therapy, changes occur in your
feet, you will become more attuned to your body with increased physical
and psychological awareness.
Reflexology calms and soothes the
body and the mind, reducing stress and inducing deep relaxation. It
improves the circulation by unblocking areas of tension and debris,
allowing the flow of blood, nutrients and energy to move more naturally
and easily both in the foot and within its corresponding system and
organ.
It cleanses the body of toxins and impurities by unblocking the
lymphatic, excretory and integumentary (skin, hair and nails) systems
by removing the waste products built up at reflex points. Reflexology
can promote well-being and balance in the whole organism. It nurtures
relationships, and aids productivity and creative thought. It is an
excellent preventative health care.
What can Reflexology do for you?
Reflexology
is believed to give access to the glandular or endocrine system, so it is
particularly useful for hormonal & digestive complaints.
Reflexology can instigate change in the internal organs by rebalancing
them, so it is very useful where pain is present.
Reflexology is a direct and immediate channel to healing, boosting the
immune system and building up bodily defences against infection.

|
Who can
Reflexology help?
Adults,
the elderly, children - anyone can use the therapy as there are no side
effects. It may be used with any other alternative or conventional therapy.

I
have been an active practitioner for over ten years and have seen the
complementary therapy field flourish around me.
This
encouraged me to research the various therapies by travelling around the
globe, which broadened my knowledge and helped me obtain unique
techniques from the native lands.
I
subsequently developed a passion to share my work and skills which lead
me to Ireland and the USA where I lectured at schools and promoted
Complimentary Therapy at trade shows.
I am a full member of the Association of
Reflexologists and follow their codes of Practice and Ethics seriously.
In my experience as a practitioner I
have previously achieved the following:
Successfully provided therapy for various conditions using Reflexology and have had broad experience on
fertility/pregnancy issues.
Stimulated Lymphatic drainage and
reinforced Respiratory system with Indian Head Massage.
I have helped to increase flexibility
and blood flow to the knees/hips and improved circulation with "Thai
Foot Massage".
Corrected digestive disorders, boosted
immune system and increased well being with deep tissue work of the
"Hot Stones!".
