Reflexology Treatments
Reflexology
This is the most common form of reflexology and is the practice of gentle pressure/massage of specific areas of the feet or hands that correspond to areas of the body. By using my thumb, fingers or specific massage techniques I'm able to work around the feet as required, I will often use a cream or balm. Each treatment is tailored to the individual and takes into account physical and non-physical factors that may be affecting wellbeing. I work on all areas to encourage balance and healing in the body. Reflexology works differently for each individual and for some it gives great relief and works well and for others it may not. The only way to find out is to try for yourself.
Reflexology for Menopause
Menopause is a time when fundamental physiological shifts happen for a woman, these can often be accompanied by a range of physical and emotional symptoms, which for some women can be quite debilitating, be this a natural process of aging or has been brought on by surgery.
This reflexology treatment consists of facial, hand and foot reflexology and so offers an enhanced treatment targeting the body on a physical and emotional level. By focusing on systems of the body to help balance hormones, reflexology may help ease the effects the perimenopause and menopause may be having on you.
Having trained with Ziggie Bergman and Louise Keet, both experts in their fields of reflexology, at The London School of Reflexology. The training has also equipped me with additional advice and recommendations on diet, exercise, and lifestyle that I will be able to share with you, along with self care tips to try at home.
The treatment is a top to toe treatment and leaves you feeling relaxed and not wanting to leave.
Reflexology for fertility
Reflexology for fertility may help women to regulate their cycle, reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels and generally enhance their wellbeing and thus preparing the body for conception. Some medical conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Endometriosis can make conception more difficult, but for many couples no reasons are found, and as time marches on this can become extremely stressful.
At present there are no long term studies supporting reflexology as a recommended treatment for fertility, but there are many positives reviews on the internet from women who have had reflexology and believe the treatments have helped them fall pregnant. I regularly see women who are trying to conceive and who have left reviews on my website and on google, which you can see have had successful outcomes.
Reflexology during pregnancy
Reflexology in pregnancy encourages your body to restore and maintain its own equilibrium. Reflexology may help to alleviate a range of pregnancy symptoms. I am able to detect subtle changes on the feet, by working specific points on the feet, therefore helping to rebalance the corresponding area and organ in the body.
Regular reflexology throughout your pregnancy can help the body prepare itself for labour, and research has shown that having regular reflexology throughout your pregnancy, can in fact shorten labour times.
The baby loves reflexology and is often quite active during your reflexology.
Some reflexologists do not treat women until after the 12th week of pregnancy; this can be discussed on an individual basis if treatment is required before the 12th week. Pregnancy reflexology may help with many common symptoms of pregnancy such as:
Food Fads
Constipation
Mild, Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension
Cramps
Itching
Haemorrhoids
Morning Sickness
Indigestion
Heartburn
Tiredness
Mood Swings
Insomnia
Oedema
Swollen Ankles
Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction
Anxiety about the Birth
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Backache
Baby Reflex
I have undertaken a post-graduate qualification baby reflex, a specially designed course that teaches parents reflexology on their own babies. Once the skill has been learnt, then you can use them on your own baby and children for years to come. The areas covered are teething, calming, sleep, digestive system, which can help with colic or constipation.
It is often more relaxing if Baby Reflex is taught in your own home, where, if your baby needs to sleep or feed, you have all you need to hand. It can be taught on a 1:1 basis or gather a few friends from your antenatal classes and have a group session. Get in touch for further details.
Facial Reflexology Treatments
Facial Reflexology has all the holistic and relaxing benefits of foot reflexology. It is non-intrusive and therefore allows you to totally relax.
A pre blended oil is used to enhance the techniques on the face, as well as nourishing the skin. Facial Reflexology focuses on the reflex points on the face, which in turn helps aid the body’s natural healing process. The massage techniques encourage blood flow to the skin and muscles of the face and so help to tone the facial muscles and promote a healthy glow.
Is Facial Reflexology Effective?
Facial Reflexology is effective in improving lymphatic drainage, thus encouraging the elimination of toxins. For many it will relax and help relieve muscle tension, reduce stress levels, headaches & migraines. Facial Reflexology aims to reduce the symptoms and effects of many common ailments including sinusitis and congestion problems, insomnia, lack of energy, IBS and other stress related issues.
What to Expect
Before your first treatment, I will take a medical history and find out a little more about your skin and any sensitivities you may have. I will help make you comfortable on the couch and then it is time to relax. I start by gently cleansing the face, and then apply the award winning Amethyst crystal infused Zone Face Lift Elixir, which hydrates your skin and when used on a regular basis will help reduce fine lines. I will then gently stimulate the reflex points on your face allowing you to benefit from having a full reflexology treatment, while drifting off to a relaxing place.

Zone Face Lift Elixir Treatments
Zone Face Lift was created by Ziggie Bergman -with whom I was lucky enough to have trained with in 2019.

During a Zone Face Lift treatment, full facial reflexology is followed by the use of a combination of rose quartz crystals, Jade Gua Sha, facial cupping, derma roller tools and Japanese facelift massage techniques, all of which are used to encourage toning of the facial muscles underneath the skin, increase blood flow and the production of collagen and to reduce fine lines and frown lines.
Each treatment is bespoke to each client and the full benefits of Zone Face Lift can be seen with a course of 12 weekly treatments, after which monthly treatments are recommended to maintain the results.

How often should I have Zone Face Lift
Results can be often be seen after one treatment, however to obtain the maximum benefit from the programme and sustain results for a longer period of time, a 12 week course is recommended. Alternatively a short course of 3 – 4 treatments over a period of 2 weeks works well for a special occasion.
