Frequently Asked Questions

What is reflexology?

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that involves applying gentle pressure to specific points on the feet, which correspond to different parts of the body. It helps promote relaxation, improve circulation, and support the body's natural healing process.

What can reflexology help with?

Reflexology can help reduce stress, improve sleep, enhance circulation, relieve tension, and support overall well-being. Many people find it beneficial for issues such as headaches, digestive discomfort, hormonal imbalances, and general relaxation.

Does reflexology hurt?

No, reflexology should not be painful. The pressure used is firm but gentle, and any sensitivity in certain areas may indicate tension or imbalance in the corresponding part of the body. Your treatment will always be adapted to your comfort level.

What should I expect during a reflexology session?

You will be comfortably positioned on a therapy couch, and only your footwear needs to be removed. Warm towels will be used to cleanse your feet, and a Neal’s Yard balm will be applied during treatment. The session will be a relaxing experience tailored to your needs.

How long does a session last?

A typical reflexology session lasts around 45-60 minutes. The first appointment may take slightly longer as it includes a short consultation to understand your health history and wellness goals.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs. Some people feel benefits after one session, while others may require a series of treatments for long-term relief. We can discuss a suitable treatment plan after your first session.

Can anyone have reflexology?

Yes, reflexology is suitable for people of all ages, including children, the elderly, and pregnant women. However, if you have any medical conditions, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider before starting treatment.

Are there any side effects?

Reflexology is generally safe and well-tolerated. Some people may experience mild reactions, such as increased urination, slight fatigue, or emotional release as the body rebalances. These effects are temporary and show that the body is responding to the treatment.

How should I prepare for my session?

There is no special preparation needed. It’s best to wear comfortable clothing and avoid eating a heavy meal just before your session. Staying hydrated before and after treatment can also enhance the benefits.
