Reflexology is an ancient art and holistic healing technique – and as such, aims to treat the whole person (mind, body and spirit) with the gentle spark of the body’s natural healing processes. In principle, there are numerous energy and nerve pathways that exist throughout the body. The feet and hands are maps of the body with reflex points that correspond to different body areas, organs and glands.

As an ancient art which embraces holistic healing techniques, Reflexology treatments can recharge the nervous system and gently spark the body’s natural healing processes. Through methodical, direct pressure techniques, reflex responses (unconscious, involuntary {natural} responses to treatment) stimulate the lymph and circulatory systems; help release toxins (through the body’s elimination systems); and tune up biochemical systems and organs.
