Reflexology
Your Treatment
We begin with a general health consultation so I can tailor your treatment to best support your key issues and make sure you are as comfortable as possible.
Then it’s time to sink into the couch and relax whilst I refresh your feet and apply a lovely balm to allow perfect grip and slip for the treatment and leave your feet feeling soft and silky.
Reflexology is a truly relaxing experience for body and mind.
You may choose to extend your treatment experience with the lovely Aromatherapy foot soak, scrub and balm.

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.
