What can I expect from a Reflexology Session?
At your first appointment, we will complete a confidential medical and emotional wellbeing form and discuss how you are hoping reflexology can help you.
You will be asked to remove your shoes and socks and will be made comfortable on the massage couch. Some people think it will feel ticklish or uncomfortable, but my clients say it feels wonderful and a deeply relaxing experience. This is your time to do what you want with, some of my clients choose to talk, whilst others drift off to sleep or relax deeply while still being fully aware of the sensations of the treatment. If I feel any areas of imbalance or congestion, I will let you know at the end of the session.
Please allow at least one hour for your appointment to give you time to relax fully after the treatment. There will be time at the end for a drink, a discussion of the treatment and aftercare advice.
If you would prefer to experience reflexology on your face rather than the feet, please see the Facial Reflexology page for more details.
How many sessions will I need?
The answer to this is very individual. Many of my clients have a therapy on a monthly basis and this fits in with their desire for a healthy lifestyle and helps to manage any health condition they are experiencing. I usually recommend a course of three sessions to begin with. Reflexology and Reiki work in a cumulative way, so you are more likely to acheive relief from the therapy the more you have it. I usually advise my clients that an initial session will start the healing process but more regular sessions are required to have a lasting effect on wellbeing. Of course any therapy you choose is a wonderfully relaxing treatment as a one off should you wish to treat yourself or a loved one.
