Reflexology: A Holistic Approach to Wellness​
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-invasive, therapeutic practice that involves applying gentle yet precise pressure to specific reflex points on the feet and hands. These reflex points correspond to different organs, systems, and glands within the body. By stimulating these areas using fingers and thumbs, reflexology helps activate the nervous system, promoting natural healing, restoring balance, and enhancing overall well-being. This practice is based on the principle that energy flows throughout the body and that blockages in this flow can contribute to discomfort, tension, and illness. Reflexology aims to clear these blockages, normalize body functions, and support the body's innate ability to heal itself.
What to Expect During a Reflexology Session?
During a session, you will relax in a comfortable zero-gravity chair or on a treatment table while the reflexologist applies controlled pressure to the reflex points on your feet or hands. Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, but depending on individual needs and the areas being treated they can extend up to 90 minutes for a more in-depth experience.
​
Reflexology primarily focuses on addressing three key factors that contribute to disease:
-
Congestion (blockages that inhibit optimal body function)
-
Inflammation (an underlying cause of chronic discomfort)
-
Tension (physical, mental, and emotional stress stored in the body)

A Time-Tested Healing Tradition
Did you know that reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years? Ancient texts and artwork from Egypt, China, and India depict reflexology as a revered healing modality. The practice is based on the understanding that specific points on the feet, hands, ears, and head correspond to different areas of the body, influencing both physical and emotional well-being.

Beyond physical relief, reflexology fosters mental, emotional, and spiritual balance, allowing the body to naturally realign itself and enter a state of holistic healing.
