How many treatments will I need?
Everyone is different and the response to Reflexology can be immediate or sometimes take longer than one appointment, but often benefits can be seen after 4-5 sessions. Regular weekly treatments are best for the body properly beginning the self-healing process. Following an initial consultation, I will suggest the number of Reflexology sessions I think we should undertake and a maintenance programme. Packages with discounted prices are available.
What happens in a treatment?
I offer Facial, Hand, Foot, Ear Reflexology and Ear seeding either in combination or stand alone. Treatment time includes a health consultation, preparation as well as your Reflexology treatment and aftercare advice.
Looking at your concerns and goals holistically, I will create a treatment plan that suits your unique needs. Designed to deliver long-term results, your customised treatment will promote a deep state of relaxation and wellbeing.
Does Reflexology hurt?
You might find some areas feel sensitive to the touch, but Reflexology does not involve hard pressing in the way something like a sports massage might. As a therapist I will be aware of the status of your face, ears, hands and feet, noticing how they feel, the temperature and colour. All these things play a part in understanding which areas of your body - as reflected through your face, ears, hands and feet - require a bit more care and attention.
Can you diagnose my health problems?
Reflexologists cannot claim to diagnose or cure, but during a treatment we get 'feedback' as to which parts of the body are working well and which are not. Sometimes Reflexology will highlight a specific area which is struggling or working hard to maintain your wellbeing; if a particular reflex point shows this kind of reaction I'll discuss it with you at the end of the session. Reflexology treatments combine a profoundly restorative experience with real health benefits. My role is supporting my clients to create the right conditions for recovery.
Are there any contraindications?
Reflexology is a non-invasive and generally safe complementary health therapy. However, there are a few conditions where it would not be suitable: blood clotting issues such as an active DVT, severe cellulitis (a painful inflammation of the skin), phlebitis (inflammation of a vein), areas of infections, contagious or notifiable disease (e.g. shingles, measles). Each client and their condition needs to be assessed individually. This is why the first session starts with a consultation. A full medical history is required to assess your general health and create a tailor-made treatment plan. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact me.
What degree did you earn?
I hold a Level 5 Diploma in Practitioner Reflexology, the highest level of training in the UK. The qualification framework sector that this level is assigned to is 'Nursing, Subjects and Vocations Allied to Medicine' and is therefore recognised by the NHS, the UK government and private healthcare insurance companies.
