For each person the application and effect of reflexology is unique. By gently working on the feet or hands to detect tiny deposits and imbalances, energy blockages are released, restoring the free flow of energy to the body. Tensions are eased, circulation and elimination are improved, encouraging the body to heal itself at its own pace. Since reflexology treats the whole person, most people benefit from the treatment.
If you are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed or are going through a difficult time, reflexology can help support your emotional well-being. Making time to recharge, refocus, rebalance and relax can help you feel less overwhelmed. Not only does a treatment provide 'self-care' time, reflexology aids relaxation, improves mood, helps release tensions, aids sleep and improves well-being. Treatments are tailored to provide relaxation and help rebalance your body, mind and spirit.
As every woman's experience of the menopause is unique, each reflexology treatment to support your journey is bespoke, to provide relaxation and ease symptoms. Reflexology helps the body to restore its balance naturally and aids relaxation - lowering stress levels can reduce symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Treatments may help you feel calmer, more relaxed, improve sleep, and optimise your physical and mental well-being.
Trying to conceive can be an extremely stressful time, and may take several months, or even years. Stress can affect almost all parts of the body in some way. Fertility reflexology can be helpful for reducing stress, particularly the stress hormone cortisol, relieving tension, inducing a deep state of relaxation, and balancing the body and mind. It is often a good idea for both partners to initially have reflexology treatments. Fertility reflexology can also help support IVF treatment.
Discomforts associated with pregnancy may be eased, and circulation, breathing, digestion and sleep improved. Reflexology may help improve general well-being, induce a state of deep relaxation, and reduce the effects of stress and anxiety. Treatments may also help support the body to prepare for labour. After birth, the balancing, harmonising, and restoring qualities of reflexology may be helpful to reduce anxiety, tensions, aches and stiffness, increase vitality and aid restfulness.
Reflexology can help provide physiological and emotional benefits for babies and children, resulting in a happy, healthy and calm baby. Short, gentle treatments can help reduce stress whether this is due to colic, teething, separation anxiety, frequent ailments, tantrums or sleep struggles. For teenagers, reflexology can help reduce anxiety by lowering the stress hormone cortisol, and increase the release of endorphins that induce feelings of well-being to promote calmness and improve sleep.
