Reflexology

Accupressure on feet, hands and ears to promote overall healing, circulation and balance. Clients remain fully clothed. The practitioner may wash your feet before beginning the session. The practitioner will adjust touch to what is comfortable to you. Sometimes a little more pressure alleviates a “ticklish” feeling.

The earliest records of reflexology date back to 2230 B.C. in Egypt and the fourth century in China and India. In the early twentieth century, Dr. William Fitgerald developed the zone theory, which states that there are ten energy zones corrosponding to accupressure point.

How does reflexology work?

Much is still not fully understood. Cellular memory offers the best explanation. The brain records our experiences, even things we may have forgotten. This helps explain how a person who loses a limb can experience phantom pain where the limb once was. When reflexology points are stimulated, the nervous system sends a new, correct message to the brain. With frequent treatment the cell memory changes and the function of the body is restored.

How is reflexology helpful?

The feet are furthest from the heart, where circulation can stagnate. Our feet ground us, but take a beating every day.  Reflexology reduces stress & toxins, improves relaxation & circulation, & balances energy. Reflexology can help with headaches, arthritis, high blood pressure, backaches, sciatica, allergies, sinus problems, carpal tunnel syndrome, insomnia, and menstrual cramps. Reflexology is not just a foot massage, and it is not medical tratment. A reflexologist does not diagnose or treat diseases.
