Reflexology
Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary health therapy that can be effective in promoting deep relaxation and wellbeing; by reducing stress in people’s lives it can be key in optimising good health and building resilience. It is a touch therapy that is based on the theory that different points on the feet and lower leg correspond with different areas of the body.
Reflexology provides a period of time for relaxation where the client has one to one attention and supportive touch via massage techniques in an empathetic listening environment. Reflexology can be used safely alongside standard healthcare to promote better health for their clients. There are contraindications for reflexology which can be discussed prior to any treatment.

What to expect as part of your booking and treatment
If you are new to Swedish Massage or similar alternative therapies, it may be helpful to know what to expect. Prior to your massage treatment, I will ask you questions about your medical history, general health and your lifestyle. In some cases, if I feel it is appropriate, I will advise you to seek medical advice from your GP before your treatment as to whether massage is recommended. You must disclose any illness, injuries, ongoing medical treatment or allergies. Massage has so many benefits for so many ailments, however there are some contraindications. This is the term used meaning that there may be a condition or illness that would prevent or restrict treatment.
Common example of contraindications:
- Contagious diseases or skin infections/open wounds
- Blood clots/Thrombosis or bleeding disorders
- Pregnancy
- Kidney or Liver conditions
- Vomiting / diarrhoea / Fever
- Cancer
I wear a standard therapist’s uniform (black or grey) and I use a standard massage table/bed. This is covered with fresh, clean bedding and towels for each client & for every appointment. You will be asked to remove the clothing specific to your treatment or to your preferred comfort level. You are left alone to undress and to position yourself on the massage table/bed. If needed advice as to how best to lie to gain maximum benefit will be given. The treatment will then start. The only area of your body uncovered is the area that is being massaged and treated. On completion of that area, it is covered over before I move on to the next area for massaging. At no time will your privacy be compromised. The skills I have learnt allow me to tailor a treatment to your individual needs. For example, after a discussion I may concentrate longer on specific areas of concern or discomfort due to an injury or tension/stiffness for example the lower back or the legs.
Essential oils in a diffuser and relaxing music are also used during your massage to enhance the general feeling of relaxation.
Post Treatment
Following your treatment, you will be left alone to get dressed and once ready you will be provided with a refreshing glass of water. It is strongly advised that in order to maximise the benefits of a massage you drink plenty of water after your treatment. This helps flush out the toxins that have been released from your cells into your system during the massage. Equally, it is strongly advised NOT to drink stimulants eg caffeine or alcohol immediately or too soon afterwards. Ideally, following a massage you should try and find time to have a restful, peaceful day or evening.
