What is Reflexology?

​

Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapeutic practice based on the principle that specific areas of the feet, hands, and ears correspond to different organs, systems, and structures of the body. By applying targeted pressure and massage to these reflex points, reflexology aims to stimulate the body’s innate healing processes, improve circulation, and restore balance.

This practice is deeply rooted in the idea that the body is interconnected through pathways of energy, known in traditional healing as meridians or zones. Reflexology works to unblock and harmonize these energy flows, encouraging the body to heal itself on physical, emotional, and energetic levels.

​

The Science Behind Reflexology

​

From a biological perspective, reflexology is thought to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes relaxation and helps reduce stress. By stimulating nerve endings in the feet or hands, signals are sent to the brain, which can then trigger responses in the corresponding organs and systems. Studies suggest that reflexology may improve blood flow, enhance lymphatic drainage, and lower cortisol levels, supporting the body’s ability to fight inflammation and maintain homeostasis.

The tactile stimulation of reflexology also engages mechanoreceptors in the skin, which communicate with the central nervous system, providing pain relief, reducing tension, and promoting overall wellbeing.

A Personalized Approach to Reflexology

 

As a practitioner with a Master’s degree in Biology, I bring a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology to every reflexology session. My approach is highly personalized, ensuring that each treatment is tailored to be relaxing, soothing, and effective for your unique needs.

​

While I am not a doctor and always encourage clients to seek advice from their GP regarding their health concerns, reflexology often reveals subtle clues about your overall wellbeing through the condition of your feet. For example, I may notice signs that could benefit from additional care, such as dietary adjustments or supplementation, and share my observations for your consideration. Always consult your GP for any health-related issues or concerns.
