Basically, Reflexology is a foot or hand massage that aims to positively affect the health of the whole person by rebalancing the body through reflex points. The feet and contain reflex points which relate to each of the body's organs, structures, areas and systems. Each point reflects what is happening in the corresponding part of the body. A Gentle Touch^TM Reflexology treatment gently and painlessly massages the feet during which each reflex point can be stimulated or calmed to encourage balance and a return to health.

Forms of reflexology have been practiced around the world for thousands of years.

During times of stress or illness congestion and energy blockages can occur. Some systems may have become sluggish while others are overworking, leaving you feeling tired or unwell.

Treatments can help relax and clear the mind as well as bring short and long term relief to both major and minor symptoms.

On your first visit some health notes are made about your health and well-being. The first session is usually an hour and a half to allow for this plus a full treatment. On subsequent visits a brief update on how you are progressing and feeling is all that is needed before commencing the treatment, and these visits take an hour.

At the end of the treatment your feet are wrapped in a soft towel and you have the opportunity to continue to relax.

If you are just looking for relaxation you may choose to omit the initial consultation and simply enjoy a treatment. For a little more pampering you'll find relaxation packages for yourself or loved ones in the Gifts and Treats section.
