About Reflexology

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a complementary therapy and should not be considered as an alternative to conventional medicine

Reflexology is based on the principle that there are reflex points in the feet and hands which correspond to each organ, gland and structure in the body.

This gentle therapy encourages the body to work naturally to restore its own healthy balance.

Can Reflexology help me?

Reflexology is a wonderfully relaxing treatment which is suitable for all ages, adults to children and may bring relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions.

All of us can benefit from some time taken for ourselves, to relax and reduce the stresses due to the busy lifestyles we lead.

Reflexology can also be particularly helpful in dealing with many of those long term and recurring conditions that many of us think we just have to accept as normal.

What conditions can Reflexology help?

These are just a few of the more common conditions that have been successfully helped through reflexology and you can see from the list below, which is by no means complete, the varied areas in which reflexology may be able to help.

• Sinusitis
  
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  
• Asthma
  
• Headaches, Migraine
  
• Calming effect on stress
  
• Hayfever
  
• Allergies
  
• PMT/PMS, Menstrual Problems
  
• Hormonal Imbalances
  
• High Blood Pressure
  
• Insomnia
  
• Back Problems, Sciatic Pain
  
• Pre and Post Operative Care

How many treatments will I need?

A course of four or five treatments can often have an amazing result. Many people then choose to have top-up treatments once every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain improvement. Each client is given a suggested treatment plan after the initial consultation.

Treatment plans will vary from client to client. Please call me to arrange an appointment or ask for more information on Brackley (01280) 701732.

The Treatment

Reflexology is performed entirely on the feet and ankles - so only the feet need to be undressed.

The first appointment includes a consultation period, whereby the treatment can be tailored specifically for the client.

During the treatment the client lies on a reclining chair, supported with pillows and covered in a soft blanket – wonderful….

Reflex points on the feet and toes relate to body organs and body systems. These points are stimulated with a specific type of pressure. The organs and systems are encouraged to release toxins & tensions, so achieving a harmonious balance.

If you have ticklish feet, please don’t despair; reflexology does not tickle!

I even have a number of clients who initially hated their feet being touched. They now relax and enjoy the benefits of reflexology.

Treatments are usually 45 minutes to an hour in duration.

Reflexology treatments £35 for initial consultation, £30 thereafter

FACIAL REFLEXOLOGY is a profoundly relaxing yet powerful therapy which is completely safe for all age groups and with virtually no contraindications. It is therefore of great assistance in helping you to restore balance and calm. A relaxed body is more able to heal, combat disease and resist infection.

What is Facial Reflexology? Facial Reflexology, which is a completely separate therapy to traditional Foot/Hand Reflexology, is both ancient and new. 'Ancient' because it uses several ancient face charts, and 'new' because it is the first time these charts have been drawn together and combined with a modern understanding of neurological points on the face to form one therapeutic practice.

How can Facial Reflexology Help You? During a Facial Reflexology session, neuro-vascular points, reflex zones, and certain neurological points are gently stimulated by hand, using only the finger-tips. This gentle stimulation sends impulses through the central nervous system and the meridians to the physical body and the major organs. In addition it stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, balances the hormones and treats the emotions. Stimulation of the points and zones on the face also triggers the release of endorphins (pleasure hormones) and serotonin (a chemical which promotes a calm and optimistic state of mind and which is instrumental in the treatment of conditions such as anxiety and depression).

Physical and emotional stress are now endemic within our modern society. This may be caused by problems in the workplace, unsatisfactory relationships, domestic situations, social pressures, unresolved emotional issues, environmental pollution or a generally unhealthy lifestyle and diet. It is now widely accepted that physical and emotional stress play a major role in the onset of disease so anything which combats this will significantly improve your quality of life and general well-being

TESTIMONAL RECEIVED JUNE 2007 from Sally, Brackley

I have been going to see Katie each month for the last year; I can’t start to tell you the difference she has made to my life.

I suffer from major ear problems and although Katie cannot cure the problem (ENT specialists are struggling too) she has relieved the congestion connected to my ear problems, I have not had one infection since seeing Katie.

Treatments have relieved me from taking antibiotics each month and from taking decongestion tablets which I was doing daily. Katie also has a great calming affect on me, helping me to feel relaxed and stress free.

When I first started going for my reflexology sessions my husband laughed at me and told me not to waste my money. He has know seen for himself the difference it has made to my hearing and congestion problems that he is thinking about going to see Katie for his own problems!

I feel grateful to have found such a sensitive, respectful, talented and knowledgeable practitioner and I have recommended her with pride to my friends and family.

TESTIMONAL RECEIVED JUNE 2007 from Claire, Brackley

As a health care professional, I fully appreciate the role that complimentary therapies such as, reflexology and indian head massage, play in achieving balance in busy stressful lives. This is what Katie has given me over the past months.

When I first attended for reflexolgy and indian head masage I suffered very badly from migraine and painful shoulders. I was in a highly stressed state, having to balance the demands of study, work and four children. Over the weeks, Katie "worked" on these problem areas and I am amazed at the difference she has made through the use of these treatments.

Katie is very professional in her work and took a full medical history and will not undertake treatment unless it is safe. She is very understanding of your needs and flexible in her working arrangements so she can fit in with your life balance. I know have my treatments in the evening because afterwards Im so chilled I just go to bed and sleep so soundly.

I can recommend Katie to anyone contemplating the use of complimentary therapies.

TESTIMONAL RECEIVED SEPTEMBER 2007 from Carolyn, Brackley

I just wanted to tell you how wonderful my reflexology appointment was today, and that my feet have remained nice and warm ever since, which is quite remarkable. Felt quite tired this afternoon.

It was also nice to meet you, and, I can see how addictive regular appointments could become!!

I will definitely be booking a course of sessions next time I see you.
