In its simplest form, reflexology is a great, therapeutic massage. But it is so much more...
SERVICES
The benefits of reflexology include:
- aiding relaxation
- releasing tension
- improving sleep
- improving mood
- increasing wellbeing
Reflexology can help support you with whatever life is throwing your way.
Specific areas on the feet and hands (the reflexes) correspond to different parts of the body and by applying pressure to all these reflexes in a sequence the body's natural flow of energy is restored and maintained. This increase in energy clears any nervous and tissue congestion, removes toxins and encourages the body's own innate healing ability and general wellbeing. It doesn't hurt at all and is extremely relaxing and soothing. Hot stone reflexology also brings great benefit to clients as the treatment is deeper and the warmth more comforting.
Your session will be tailored to you, taking into account any physical and non-physical factors that might be affecting your current wellbeing. And if you're just looking for a relaxing massage, that works too.
Treatments
I am based at the Holistic Health Centre, 26 Mount Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells and The Tree Of Hope Wellness Rooms, 61-63 Camden Road, Tunbridge Wells. Home visits are also possible. I work weekdays and weekends so please contact me as I'm sure I'll be able to fit around your schedule.
I offer traditional reflexology and hot stone reflexology.
Once we've confirmed our session, I will email you a health questionnaire to fill in, asking you to send it back to me prior to our first meeting so I have a chance to research anything that may help our time together. Once you're with me, we will chat through the questionnaire and I will gain a thorough understanding of you and what you're hoping to achieve from our sessions.
It will then be time to take off your shoes and socks and give your feet a warm soak. Depending on the temperature and how cosy you like to be I will cover you with a blanket. You'll be lying back with your feet resting on a footrest and wrapped in towels. Unwrapping the feet, I will warm them up before massaging the reflex points on the left foot and then the reflex points on the right foot, all the while concentrating on any areas we may have discussed. Reflexology treats the body as a whole so I will massage all the reflex points on the feet and then go back to concentrate on particular reflexes that I believe will benefit you.
At the end of the treatment I will give you a glass of water. The key to a successful reflexology session is drinking plenty of water afterwards to flush out the toxins. We will have a chat about anything I found of interest or if you felt anything particular. Don't worry, there is never any pain or ticklishness. Some people suddenly catch their breath while I'm working on a particular reflex, or they may have a tingle in their nose or feel a surge or warmth through their stomach. Whether you feel something or nothing, reflexology will leave you relaxed, calmed and soothed.
Your session will be tailored to you, taking into account any physical and non-physical factors that might be affecting your current wellbeing. And if you're just looking for a relaxing massage, that works too.
Some people find it works for them - some don't. Please get in touch and find out!
About Me
My name is Kathryn and I am a registered Association of Reflexology therapist having completed my training in 2003. The power of reflexology is continually surprising me and I find meeting new people, hearing their stories and seeing how reflexology can help them, simply amazing. I know each and every one of us is a wonderful yet complex machine. Reflexology is a great way to help our inner engines restore and maintain themselves.
I moved to Tunbridge Wells at the end of 2013 and I'm building up my local client base. I have a ground floor, calm and bright room at home (in TN1) that I use for reflexology. It currently has the most grown-up sofa I have ever owned. Alternatively you can visit me at the Holistic Health Centre, 26 Mount Ephraim, Tunbridge Wells and The Tree Of Hope Wellness Rooms, 61-63 Camden Road, Tunbridge Wells.
I chose the name the BiG TOE for no particular reason and many reasons. I liked the name, that was the 'no particular reason.' Reflexology treats the body as a whole and the big toe is an easily identifiable part of the body. It holds the head (including the brain), neck and top of the spinal cord reflexes so represents our knowledge and nerve epicentres. The brain is the initiator of body movement and controls our behaviour. It's the source of all qualities that define us as humans and it is the crown jewel of the human body. I also trekked to some dinosaur footprints in Sucre, Bolivia. These have to be the biggest and greatest toes I'll ever see. And so the BiG TOE was created.
Having read Jane Sheehan's book Let's Read Our Feet! I've subsequently learnt that if you have a very big, big toe, this means you're fantastic at brainstorming, coming up with new ideas and thinking outside the box. If you're looking for a problem solver, find someone with a big toe! However, if you have a small big toe, you're a great multi-tasker juggling lots of things at once and never loosing your way. If you've got a lot to do with not much time, a small big toe will help you achieve the impossible.
