A typical reflexology session lasts about 50 – 60 minutes.  The client reclines an anti-gravity chair that is very comfortable and easy on the spine. The only clothing you remove are your socks and shoes. The room is dimmed and peaceful, soothing music is played in the background. The session begins with a warm foot soak to help unwind and start the relaxation process.   While the feet are softening the therapist begins using gentle, yet firm pressure on the clients hands and then proceeds to work the feet, focusing on areas that need extra attention.

Besides being healing it is also fun! Many clients make their sessions even more memorable and self-nurturing by adding essential oils, scrubs and foot masks to their session. 

If you have a health condition that is being assisted with reflexology you may want to start with a session once every 3 or 4 days.  As your condition improves you can increase the length of time between sessions. If you are healthy and using reflexology to maintain your health, a session once every couple of weeks or so will be sufficient. No one knows your body better than you.  If you listen, your body will tell you when you need a session!

A Reflexologist is not judging you or your feet!  Many people are embarrassed about their feet. Don’t worry, your feet will appreciate the loving care.

Everyone from young to old can benefit.  Reflexology brings the body back into homeostasis. Your body is able to attain a deeper state of relaxation where the brain shifts from the sympathetic to the parasympathetic nervous system (where healing can occur).  Even skeptics have become strong advocates.  Try it and find out for yourself!

Yes. If you are under the care of a physician, it may enhance your results. However, is not intended to replace conventional medical treatment. Its purpose is not to treat or diagnose for any specific medical disorder, but to promote better health and well being in the same way as an exercise or diet program. Reflexology can be a valuable way of indicating areas where higher stress or tension is present in the body and can assist to relieve that stress or tension which can promote or encourage the natural healing process. If a licensed health care provider such as a medical or naturopathic doctor is managing your condition, it is important that you discuss the consequences of any therapy (including reflexology) with this person before you commence treatment. 

No. Reflexology is a non-invasive natural therapy that relaxes the body. On rare occasions, release of toxins as a result of the body's natural healing process may result in symptoms such as perspiration, nausea or headaches.  However these symptoms are temporary and not serious.  It is important to drink water after your session to flush out toxins. 
 

Besides Happy feet?!? 

Your session will leave you feeling tranquil and deeply relaxed. In addition you may or may not feel an increase in bowel action and urination.  Or you may have a heavy head or aching limbs; this is a result of toxins that have been released into your system. The above reactions are a normal outcome of treatment and often show that a positive effect has been achieved.  

Remember, Drink water!
