reflexology is the technique of applying gentle pressure to the reflexes on the feet & hands in order to bring about a state of deep relaxation, stimulate the body’s own healing processes & help a person return to a state of balance & well-being.

reflexology is applied to treat the whole person instead of individual ailments or symptoms & is one of the most effective forms of preventative healthcare.

reflexology is said to have originated in china some 5000 years ago, when pressure therapy was used to correct energy fields in the body. the earliest example of foot & hand reflexology is a painting found in the mastaba (early pyramid) of ankhmahor, the pharaoh’s vizier, which dates from 2330 b.c. it was not until around 1913 that the therapy was introduced to the west by an american ear, nose & throat consultant, dr. william fitzgerald. it is based on the ancient principle of energy zones which run through the body. reflex areas in the feet correspond to parts of the body; by working on these points a reflexologist can release energy blockages & restore the free flow of energy to the whole body.

reflexology will leave you feeling totally relaxed & in a state of well-being. each treatment lasts about an hour & multiple treatments have an accumulative effect as part of a bespoke programme.
