Practitioner Description:Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands that correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. Reflexology is a unique method of using the thumb and fingers on these reflex areas.Reflexology includes, but is not limited to: 1) Relieve stress and tension 2 ) Improve blood supply and promote the unblocking of nerve impulses 3) Help nature achieve homeostasis As with acupuncture and acupressure, reflexology recognises zone theory which states that the body is divided into 10 longitudinal zones. By working an area of the foot, the glands, organs and parts of the body within that zone are also being affected. Your reflexology treatment will take a holistic approach whilst also taking into consideration the individual needs and health problems of each client. During the treatment all the reflex areas on both feet, or hands if appropriate, will be worked. This will give a variety of sensations to the feet and body. By interpreting these sensations it is possible to identify areas of imbalance within the body. The principles and practices of complementary medicine have long been recognised as an effective way of resolving health problems. Reflexology promotes good health and illness prevention by releasing tension and allowing the body’s own systems to function more effectively. It is a potent therapy which can help alleviate many disorders. These include but are not limited to: Stress Back Disorders Sports Injuries Arthritis Asthmas and allergies High/low blood pressure Lack of vitality Post-operative recovery Fertility/Pregnancy Reflexology can also help the terminally ill and have a positive effect on long-term conditions. I trained with the International Institute of Reflexology which teaches the world renowned Ingham method. I am an authorised member of the Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT) Network and have done a number of post-graduate workshops including meridian and zone theories. I also hold a Reiki 1 qualification which can be used in conjunction with reflexology if required. I also have post-graduate training on vertical reflexology; conception, pregnancy and child birth; cancer care; the 12 meridians and five elements; Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus. I have had induction in the Gentle Birth Method - this programme can help you to have an enjoyable pregnancy, a gentle birth and a calm baby. Before retraining I was a manager in a very fast paced commercial environment and as such understand the stresses and strains of normal life and the pressure this puts on the balance of mind and body.
