Benefits - Regular treatments help to discourage the formation of cellulite.  Cellulite is caused by a variety of factors including genetics, hormones & stress whereby the skin has a dimpled, lumpy appearance (fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin).  It usually effects buttocks and thighs but can occur in other areas. Between 80 &90% of women will probably experience cellulite which is known as orange peel skin due to texture.  It smoothes and softens the skin, improves tone and texture and prepares for tanning.

Reflexologists do not claim to cure, diagnose, or prescribe.

​

Reflexology is a complementary health therapy. It is based on the theory that the feet and hands contain a mini map of the whole body. All body systems, glands, and organs can be stimulated on the feet or hands. These are known as reflexes.  It is not a "foot massage", although the feet are massaged in order to warm up the muscles and joints, it is a specific pressure point technique.

​

Reflexology is the technique used by applying pressure to the reflex points, in order to bring about a response in the corresponding part of the body.  By using a specific massage technique to stimulate the reflexes, the aim is to release any blockages and restore the free flow of energy and blood circulation to the whole body.  Reflexology is based on ancient Chinese theory that energy is flowing around our bodies. If the energy is restricted then illness may result. If the energy can flow freely then we are healthy and balanced.

​

A reflexologist aims to treat the whole person rather than only focusing on a set of symptoms. Emotional and spiritual wellbeing will be taken into account as well as the physical.

​

​​

Will Reflexology help me?

Reflexology is a holistic treatment which works with you individually. It aims to encourage the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance. 

​

How will I feel after a treatment?

Usually after a treatment you may feel relaxed and your tension might be reduced. You may also notice that your sense of well -being is improved. Some other conditions may improve too. However this happens on a very individual basis. Sometimes people report feeling nauseous, lethargic, or tearful but this is usually temporary, and is part of the healing process. After one or two treatments you may find your body responds in a very noticeable way. It is useful to give feedback as this in turn will help  to tailor a course of treatments to your individual needs.

Ayurvedic inspired treatment.According to Ayurvedic scriptures, the point between the eyebrows is the “third eye” and is the home of enlightenment. This treatment  helps open the third eye, removing any blocks in your mind. 

Begin with a relaxing massage to decolletage to commence lymph flow, upper arms, neck and a cool stone facial massage.  Warmed coconut oil is then drizzled onto the forehead between the brows and back through the hair and massaged in.  Your hair  is then wrapped in a warm towel while you receive a warm compress to remove the oil from your skin,  facial mist and moisturiser, and lotion to your decolletage and upper arms.  

Excess oil is blotted out of your hair.  Please bring a hair towel for your journey home.  Leaving the coconut oil in your hair as long as possible will be most beneficial before shampooing out (apply shampoo before adding water & two shampoos may be needed.)
