Facial Reflexology

Facial Reflexology is very relaxing and has all the benefits of foot reflexology, but with one side effect … it leaves your face with a more radiant and glowing complexion.

The treatment is carried out using a Neal’s Yard Facial oil, which is nourishing and soothing.

This relaxing 30 minute treatment can be extended to 60 minutes by adding either a 30 minute foot reflexology treatment or 30 minute head massage.

A facial reflexology treatment can also be added to a full foot reflexology treatment giving a delightfully relaxing, balancing and uplifting 90 minute treatment.

Baby Reflexology aims to:

• Encourage and develop bonding between parent and baby
• Be relaxing and calming, therefore promoting sleep

Reflexology & Older People

Reflexology is increasingly being used in residential care facilities and among many fit older clients who want to retain their health throughout their retirement.

Reflexology is particularly suited for older people as it helps relaxation, improves mood, aids sleep, helps to relieve tension and improves sense of wellbeing.

Reflexology is a very practical and accessible therapy for older people as no outer clothing, except footwear, needs to be removed. The techniques can be applied in a standing, sitting or reclining position, and in many locations – in a chair, in bed or in a wheel chair. Reflexology can also be carried out on the hands, with exactly the same benefits, if they are preferred or more easily accessible.

Reflexology for Children and Teens

Reflexology is just as effective on children as on adults. Like most adults, children love reflexology.

It calms and relaxes them; it helps them with the fears, joys, bewilderment and excitement which are all part of growing up. Reflexology helps to stimulate your child’s natural healing processes. As with adults, regular treatments may boost the immune system and help prevent illness, or speed up the recovery process. Children’s treatments are shorter than those of adults as they are usually quicker to respond.

Nerve Reflexology

Nerve Reflexology can be used to provide fast and effective relief from pain.

This method of reflexology uses nerve reflex points on the various foot bones. By pressing these points there is a precise impact on various parts of the nervous system. This changes the pain process in the nervous system to bring relief from acute and chronic pain. Nerve Reflexology benefits those with pain issues due to reduced or excessive action of muscles, joints, organs and other structures.

Vertical Reflex Therapy

Vertical Reflex Therapy can be combined with the classic reflexology treatment at the start and/or the end of a treatment. It is carried out on the tops and sides of the feet whilst the client is standing.

When the body is weight-bearing, the nerves in the hands and feet become sensitised and this appears to boost the response of the stimulated reflex. It seems that Vertical Reflex Therapy helps accelerate the healing process. Vertical Reflex Therapy was developed by Lynne Booth and is now taught and practiced all over the world.

Head Massage

Head massage is a relaxing treatment which incorporates the face, scalp, upper arms, neck and shoulders.

The client sits fully clothed for the treatment.

Head massage helps improve blood flow to the head, neck and shoulders which increases joint mobility and flexibility. It improves blood circulation and lymphatic flow. It is particularly good for reducing the effects of stress and tension.  Head massage releases toxins from the body, and enhances a feeling of well-being and relaxation, leaving the client feeling energised, revitalized and able to concentrate better.

The session lasts for about 45 minutes.

Head massage has many benefits and may help:

• Muscular tension and mobility in head and neck
• Headaches
• Sleep disorders and insomnia
• Anxiety and stress
• Pain relief
• Scalp tension
• Sinus congestion 
• Breathing disorders
• Enhance feeling of wellbeing
• Improve hair loss and thinning
