Reflexology
The stresses of modern daily life can accumulate to such a point that personal health can suffer not only physically but emotionally and mentally.
Reflexology is an ancient form of healing through pressure points in the feet, hands, face and ears. All ailments in the physical body can be detected through these reflexes. The reflex areas in the feet are most commonly used, corresponding to all the organs, glands, muscles and nerves in the body. Applying pressure to the big toe, for example, has a related effect in the head.
There is a growing body of research evidence into this practice.
The aim of the treatment is to release blockages, congestion or imbalances in the corresponding part of the body. Blood and lymph circulation improves, enabling the body to break down and eliminate toxins.
The entire body is thereby encouraged to work more effectively as a whole.
At the end of a session, the body will feel notably more relaxed and balanced; as a consequence natural resistance to illness is increased. Treatment helps the body's power to heal itself.
Maternity Reflexology
At this special time in your life, enjoy a safe reflexology treatment to help with associated nuances in pregnancy. Back ache, sore feet, headaches etc can all be alleviated with a specially designed treatment plan just for you.
Reflexology also helps with those couples who are trying to conceive. Balancing techniques for the endocrine system help regulate hormonal influences.

Weight Loss
Well being also comes from the inside. Paying attention to all of your health, whether it be physical, mental emotional or spiritual is essential for that feeling of contented well being. Weight is often an issue for many, but classes and clinics do not suite all. A fifteen minute appointment on a one to one basis is helpful for many who want to loose excess weight but do not want the inconvenience or embarrassment of group meetings. Trying to go it alone is not easy. However, one to one support, gives you the opportunity to be weighed each week, measured and have a short discussion on how to achieve your goal through recipes, exercise etc.
