Reflexology

Is a Natural Healing Art based on the principle that there are Zones and Reflexes in the Feet (Hands and Ears) that correspond to every Part, Gland and Organ in the body. Reflexology is the application of pressure to these reflexes and can trigger the body's healing forces into action. Relieving tension, improving circulation and helping promote natural function of the related areas of the body.

Reflexology is a natural non invasive therapy where the Practitioner treats the whole person via the feet bringing all the body systems and energy flow into balance and correcting the negative factors involved in the disease process: congestion, inflammation and tension. Reflexology simply facilitates the body's own natural healing by assisting it to self-correct.

Reflexology can help with: -
Many common Health Complaints

• Digestive Disorders: Colitis, Constipation, And Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
• PMS, Menopausal Symptoms
• Headaches, Insomnia, Depression, Anxiety, High Blood Pressure
• Acts as a 'mechanical cleanser' increasing the elimination of wastes and toxic debris. The Body will run 'cleaner'.
• Increased Energy, Alertness, Calmness.
• Provides Deep Relaxation

Reflexology reveals how it feels to be more relaxed.  When we are relaxed we can drop into a deep quiet level of consciousness where nourishing energy can be received. Reflexology stimulates the Brain to release Endorphins, these have a calming and euphoric sensation, and they suppress pain.

Physical exercise will keep muscles toned and the cardiovascular function tuned, however, many other Organs are seldom stimulated to capacity. Reflexology can affect them all directly. Certain points are tender than others and this is taken to indicate a build up of crystalline deposits under the skin and imbalance in the corresponding organ or body part. Reflexology breaks down these deposits, removes blockages in nerve and energetic pathways, improve blood supply and aid detoxification.

What happens?
Clients should preferably cleanse their feet beforehand, although cleansing wipes can be used. After completing a short health questionnaire clients will only need to remove their shoes and socks before getting on to a couch or into a reclining chair. Clients can relax quietly and enjoy the treatment. Some reflexes may be tender to touch since toxin deposits are being directly worked on, clients are to let Catherine know when there is discomfort. The client's comfort and safety is of the utmost importance. The treatment ends with a soothing food massage.

Clients should always give themselves time to takes things easy for an hour or two after the treatment. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day (6-8 glasses) and taking a relaxing Epsom salt bath will help flush any toxins that have been released.

During and after treatment people's experience vary; clients may feel profoundly relaxed or drowsy - this will pass, leaving clients calm and with increased energy that can last for days. Sometimes a mild headache may be experienced; this signifies the treatment is working by flushing toxins into the bloodstream and out of the body.

Catherine helps to facilitate the recovery/healing process rather than who can 'cure' health issues, each client can become an active participant by taking personal responsibility for their health. By taking action in addressing their lifestyle (stress, exercise, sleep and health habits), maintain a health promoting diet and have a positive mental attitude, clients can succeed in creating a happy, healthy work-life balance.
