Doesn’t really matter, but if you can, do wear loose, comfortable clothing.
For Hot-Stone Reflexology we’ll ask you to wear shorts or wide pants that allow your therapist to work on your calf muscles.
No! All you have to remove are your socks and shoes, the rest of your clothes remain untouched. This is one of the reasons why reflexology is an excellent choice for corporate wellbeing sessions.
You may feel some discomfort especially during the first treatment when I’m working on an area that is out of balance or congested. The discomfort will only last a short time as I work through the congestion. You will be invited to practice relaxing breathing techniques while your therapist is working on sensitive areas, which our clients find very helpful and soothing.
Basic medical history, lifestyle, current health and some general information to enable both of us to build up a comprehensive view of your holistic health.

Congratulations! Yes, you can have reflexology although some areas will have to be avoided and there are few situations that may mean reflexology is not appropriate but in general ‘Mums to be’ find the treatment calming and relaxing.
99% of my clients feel relaxed and chilled after their treatment, even after the first one, especially after hot-stone reflexology and enjoy a great night’s sleep after their session. You may feel a bit tired, but this will only last for a short while and is a good indication that the treatment was effective. It is also a good indication that toxins were released during the treatment and the good news is, once this short period passes, you will feel much more alert and revitalised. Many of my clients reported figuring out answers and getting clarification about issues, problems and situations after a reflexology treatment. All my clients receive pre- and after-treatment advice, plus based on the congested areas we may find during the treatment, we’ll discuss follow-up recommendations.

No. I’m a reflexologist not a GP. Your feet may indicate areas that are out of balance and we will be able to discuss what we find but if you have questions regarding a medical condition you should see your GP.
A Reflexology an ancient healing technic. It is a non-intrusive, complementary health therapy involving the application of rhythmic pressure to the feet, hands, face or ears improving energy, blood and lymphatic system circulation. It is based on the theory that certain reflex points correspond to our organs and tissues. This gentle yet powerful holistic therapy may bring relief from a wide range of both acute and chronic conditions, support the body’s natural healing process and speed up recovery time. Reflexologists work along traditional healthcare promoting wellbeing and better health.

In general, everyone can be treated with reflexology. There are some contraindications and caution is advised in certain cases.
If you have
- Undiagnosed pain
- Deep Vein Thrombosis
- Contagious or acute infectious disease
- Under the influence
- Open sores or broken skin areas than reflexology is not an option.
Each reflexology session covers the entire foot or hand. If you have a diagnosed specific condition that you would like more focus on, then I will work more on the related reflexes areas. Please bear in mind that for diagnosed conditions a multisession therapy is recommended to maximize benefit.
Also, If I discover any areas with congestion, during the session, I will focus on bringing this area back into balance.
Everyone reacts differently and the reaction depends on the condition we’re treating. Most clients experience, deep relaxation, lightness and sometimes a tingling in certain parts of their body. If you are a spiritual person you can even feel how the energy blocks are opening and the energy begins to flow as the natural homeostasis is reinstated.
Ideally to maximize benefits 6-8 treatments, once per week are recommended. From experience, you may not feel or see significant results until the 3rd or 4th treatment. However, the number of treatments is determined by the client’s health and aim of the therapy. In some cases, shorter, more frequent sessions are required. To keep a balanced well-being a session every 3 or 4 weeks is plenty.
