Reflexology
Your Treatment
Your treatment is tailored to best support your key issues after your initial consultation.
A cleansing wipe will be used to prepare your feet for the treatment. Or, you may wish to upgrade your experience with an aromatherapy foot soak and gentle scrub (+ £5).
Then you relax on the couch whilst the reflexes of the feet are worked using a variety of techniques to help bring the corresponding body organs and systems into balance. Balm is used which leaves your feet feeling soft and moisturised.
Reflexology is a truly relaxing and rebalancing experience for body and mind.

Origin of Reflexology
This amazing therapy has its roots in Ancient Egypt where tomb wall paintings dating back to 2330BC have been found showing people receiving treatments on their feet.
Dr William Fitzgerald (1872-1842) is credited with sharing that tribes from North America applied pressures to the feet to promote healing.
Physio-therapist Eunice Ingham (1889 – 1974) worked closely with Dr Fitzgerald to create a map of the body reflexes on the feet after associating where patients claimed their pain was eased when pressure was applied to certain areas of the foot.
Initially called ‘Zone Therapy’, Reflexology is now a recognised healing modality by the NHS, many GPs and hospices.
