Reflexology

What Is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive healing practice that uses targeted pressure on specific points of the feet and hands—called reflex areas—that correspond to other parts of the body. Stimulating these points encourages relaxation, improves circulation, and supports the body’s natural healing processes.

Feel restored, rebalanced, and reconnected from the ground up.

What to expect during a session ?

Your session starts the moment you settle into a comfortable reclining chair or massage table. You’ll remain fully clothed, removing only your socks and shoes. Soft music plays in the background, and your feet are wrapped in warm towels to help you relax and unwind.

Your therapist begins with gentle warming techniques, then applies targeted pressure to specific reflex points using thumb and finger movements. Each point corresponds to areas of your body—organs, glands, and systems—encouraging natural healing, improved circulation, and deep relaxation.

Some areas may feel tender, indicating tension or imbalance, but the pressure is always adjusted to your comfort. Many clients feel deeply relaxed, some even fall asleep, while others feel a release of energy or emotion.

Your treatment ends with a few grounding techniques to gently bring you back to awareness. Expect to leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more balanced—like your whole body just took a deep breath.

Please note: Reflexology is a complementary therapy and does not replace medical treatment.

Patricia actually took the time to understand what was bothering me, and the causes for it, and instead of a textbook massage, used various techniques to help alleviate the tension, concentrating on certain areas that I didn't even realize were attributing to my discomfort.

FAQ's

Is reflexology safe for everyone?
Yes, reflexology is generally safe for all ages—from children to seniors. However, those with severe circulatory issues, foot injuries, or certain health conditions should consult their doctor before beginning treatment.
Does reflexology hurt?
Reflexology should never be painful. Some areas may feel tender if there's an imbalance or congestion in the corresponding part of the body, but the pressure is always adjusted to your comfort level.
Can reflexology help with anxiety or stress?
Absolutely. One of reflexology's most praised benefits is its ability to deeply relax the nervous system. Many clients report feeling calmer, lighter, and more emotionally grounded after sessions.
How is reflexology different from acupuncture or massage?
Unlike acupuncture, reflexology uses no needles—only touch. And while massage focuses on muscles, reflexology works through nerve pathways and reflex points to influence the entire body system.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes are best. You’ll only need to remove your socks and shoes for the session.
Can reflexology detox my body?
While reflexology doesn’t “detox” in a traditional sense, it stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems, which can support the body’s natural detox processes. You may feel the urge to drink water, rest, or visit the bathroom more—signs your body is processing the shift.
How quickly will I feel results?
Some clients feel immediate relaxation or symptom relief, while others notice gradual changes over a few sessions. Chronic issues may take time to respond, but consistency is key.
Is reflexology only for the feet?
While foot reflexology is most common, there are also reflex points in the hands, ears, and even the face. Most of your session will focus on the feet, where the richest nerve pathways are found.
Can I combine reflexology with other treatments like massage or physio?
Yes, reflexology works beautifully alongside other therapies. Many clients integrate it into their wellness routine for holistic support.
