Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural healing therapy that had its origins thousands of years ago. It is based on the principle that there are reflex points on the feet and hands that correspond with every organ and body part. Massaging these points has a balancing effect on the whole body, thereby allowing the body blood flow and helps organs to release toxins. A reflexology treatment involves removing shoes and socks. Bare feet are massaged with oil or powder. Sometimes hands, ears and face are also massaged as these reflex points are also on the hands, ears and face. People of all ages can be treated. Excellent for boosting the immune system coming on to the winter or any other time of the year during stressful periods. Good in pregnancy for relaxing mother and baby.
