What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a practice that applies pressure to reflex zones on your feet, hands, and outer ears to affect your entire body. These zones correspond to other parts of your body which affects nerves that carry the signals to the affected area of emphasis. By utilizing a thumb walk technique, the pressure on the nerve endings sends oxygen and nutrients to the cells. The benefits of reflexology include balance, lymphatic drainage, as well as improve blood circulation which in turn promotes healing.
Using reflexology techniques, different nerve endings are stimulated and used to open, and clean out neural pathways which improves nerve function and reactivity. This in turn promotes increased neural circulation, thus aids with the elimination of toxins in the body. This has been known to help accelerate healing, reduce tension and headaches, promote relaxation, and aid in healing. It has even been known to help with pregnancy, improve cognitive health, provide relief from stress and anxiety and aid with insomnia.

Prior to the start of the session we review your health history and will focus on areas of emphasis that are related to our discussion. After the discussion the lights in the room are dimmed and soft music is on in the background. The session will begin once you are on the treatment table, fully clothed with the exception of your shoes and socks removed.
In the beginning of the session the amount of pressure comfortable for you will be established. We will start by relaxing your right foot, reflex the entire foot and focus on areas of emphasis per our discussion. I then follow through with the same process on the left foot. The session ends by holding your ankles and pulling to provide a small stretch. After your Reflexology treatment, we will reflect your experience, and address your questions.
