General reflexology

Reflexology is a gentle holistic therapy. Holistic means 'whole' and therefore to achieve complete good health three equally important areas need to be in balance - mind, body and spirit.

Reflexology for all ages and health conditions

Perhaps you have a health complaint that has not been resolved by conventional medical treatment or have learned to live with niggling problems because you feel nothing more can be done.

Reflexology may be very effective in the treatment of many acute and chronic health conditions. Here are just some of them:

anxiety

panic attacks

arthritis

asthma and sinus problems

back pain

muscular pain

high blood pressure

digestive disorders, including IBS

headaches and migraine

insomnia

irregular menstrual cycle

PMS

sciatica

skin conditions, including psoriasis

Reflexology is a therapy that is suitable for all age groups - everyone from babies to the elderly can enjoy treatments.

Over the years I have worked with many patients with a wide variety of conditions, including Parkinsons Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. Following a course of reflexology treatments, many have been able to report significant improvements in their symptoms and a vast improvement in their emotional well-being.

Reflexology and stress

Do you ever feel completely relaxed?

If you answered 'no' then you are not alone as stress is an unfortunate result of today's fast-paced way of life. If you are suffering from the effects of stress you may be unaware of just how much it could be affecting you in the long term. Unresolved stress may manifest and show itself in many different ways including anxiety, panic attacks, IBS and skin problems.

Putting time aside for regular reflexology treatments in your busy schedule will help you to relax. The sense of well-being after a treatment may last for several days and could make a considerable difference to the way you are feeling. Many of my patients report that reflexology has had a positive effect on their physical and mental health and continue to come along for treatments after their initial health issue has been resolved.

Reflexology during the Menopause

The term menopause refers to the time in a woman's life when she ceases to menstruate.

About three to seven years before periods stop completely, your body starts to go through considerable hormonal changes. This period, known as the peri-menopause, usually starts when you reach your mid-40s, though it can also happen at a much earlier age. Sometimes this is caused by a medical condition or there may be a family history of premature menopause. Some of the following symptoms may appear at this time, although you may not initially link this to a change in your menstrual cycle:

hot flushes

irritability/mood swings

depression

anxiety

fatique/lack of energy

sleeplessness

irregular/heavy periods

Reflexology helps to regulate and balance your hormone levels in a natural way. Regular treatments will help ease your symptoms and encourage you to relax and unwind - giving you restored confidence and a renewed zest for life!
