How it works...
All the organs and systems of the body have corresponding reflex points on the feet and hands.
During a treatment, many thousand’s of nerve endings are stimulated to improve homeostasis.
(The internal communication between the individual organs of the body and mind, effects the whole person, to maintain a constantly changing, healthy balance). Then the natural healing process is strengthened and the ability to restore physical and emotional health is increased.

How I work & really ‘Listen to the feet’...
On the first visit I take a full past and current medical history.
I then ask you to take off your shoes and socks, help you onto the comfortable couch and wash your feet, using lavender/tea tree oils.
I then look at both feet ~ their shape, the length of toes, colour, position and the differences, are all significant. They give important indications to your state of your health & fundamental personality characteristics.
Next I assess and listen to the texture of each reflex point, using specific thumb and finger pressure techniques... They might feel numb, gritty, hot, angry, cold or empty so then work accordingly, to ease those imbalances.
The meridian lines have connection points at the base of each nail bed on all the toes and fingers so I also incorporate acupressure, to enhance the effects.
By alternate massage and point work the whole treatment experience feels and is therapeutic and deeply relaxing.
I strongly believe our feeling and emotions have a governing connection with our physical wellbeing. Tension held in specific areas in our bodies hold a clue to particular, stuck negative emotions.
Your thoughts and feelings are unique and perfect for you. They hold the truth of how you have experienced your life, so far...
There is no right or wrong, I focus on listening to the body’s wisdom, identifying the specific links that are causing difficulties/challenges at that moment and turning those messages into opportunities for positive change.
For example: If a client has pain in their shoulder, I work to release the reflex point and to ease muscle tension. They may then talk about how much other people rely and lean on them for support and that they have too many responsibilities. It could be just the trigger they needed to hear (and had been ignoring), to start negotiating and easing the demands on them.
The ultimate aim is to increase self knowledge, inner peace and contented purpose.
