An important note on Reflexology....
Reflexology is NOT a substitute for medicine, prescriptions or a Doctor's advice. Reflexology does not cure or diagnose. Responses to Reflexology vary from person to person and is bespoke to the individual. If sessions prove helpful/beneficial to the receiver, it should only be considered as an additional support/aid as part of a larger, all round holistic approach that takes into consideration all elements of an individual's lifestyle/needs/medical requirments etc.
Facial Reflexology
Facial reflexology is a truly beautiful therapy to experience. This relatively new therapy to western culture, works holistically across all planes of our PHYSICAL EMOTIONAL MENTAL SPIRITUAL being.
As with foot reflexology, a multitude of 'points' are mapped out over the face that represent different parts/organs/sytems of the body. Stimulating these points will send signals to the brain & nerves to help regulate homeostasis and encourage self healing. Facial reflexology aims to soothe the central nervous system, engaging the parasympathetic nervous system to subsequently promote feelings of inner peace & calmness. Following a treatment (and with regular sessions - consistency always gives the best results) clients can experience improved mood & sleep patterns, reduction in tension & generally a better sense of wellbeing.
This type of reflexology is a great alternative to traditional foot reflexology, particularly for those who prefer not to have their feet worked on/where there is a lot of pain/injury to feet/reflex points of the feet are too sensitive.
This Therapy feels COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to foot reflexology, it's a much more gentle pressure that is applied. Small, intricate points are worked on (as the face is a smaller surface area to work on and reflex points are closer to the skins surface, a different modality can be employed) and soothing/sweeping movements make the treatment flow in an a fully immersive, tranquil experience.
Headache/migraine/sinus/jaw pain sufferers particularly like this form of reflexology, as it physically soothes key areas of complaint as well as emotionally calms.
A very happy consquence of facial reflexology is that it has the potential to improve skin tone - stimulation to facial tissue can encourage the production of COLLAGEN & ELASTIN - leaving the complexion glowing, plump & youthful.
WOMEN'S HEALTH - reflexology is an awesome way of supporting ladies throughout their years - be it from PMS/menstrual conditions/fertility/pregnancy/peri-menopause/menopause - there are reflex points for them all! Facial reflexology in particular has the potential to promote a healthy hormone synergy. A reflexology session can be completely bespoke to your needs, focusing on those areas/points most in need - taking a real holistic approach to anything from painful, irregular periods to hot flushes & anxiety during the peri/menopause.

Foot Reflexology

Origins of this treatment can be traced back to ancient times of China, Egypt and India whereby the feet and hands were worked upon to treat aliments of the mind and body.
