What is Reflexology

What is it & Possible Benefits

Reflexology therapies are natural therapeutic methods based on the principle that there are reflexes in the body that map to other parts, glands, and organs of the body. Through the application of pressure on these reflexes, reflexology therapy can: Relieve Tension, Improve Circulation and Support the body’s efforts to function optimally.

Reflexology helps to manage many common ailments such as:

musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, anxiety, stress and

hormonal and digestive issues to name a few.

Unlike other therapies which manipulate bones or muscle tissues, Reflexology can provide much needed relief through working the body reflex that ails you on a part of the body that does not.

Reflexology is one of the safest and least invasive complementary therapeutic practices available.

Advanced Facial Reflexology

What is it & Possible Benefits

Advanced Facial Reflexology with Champissage: Indian Head Massage have many physiological and emotional benefits. Using reflexology, acupressure and massage techniques on your face, scalp and neck, I will work on the areas that require the most work while incorporating many of the Indian Head Massage and Advanced Facial Reflexology techniques to give you a completely bespoke treatment, designed just for you during the actual session.

The unique benefit of Facial Reflexology is that not only does it aim to help clients improve their health and wellbeing, with unique benefits for certain conditions, it also can help your you look younger and have a healthy glow. Although it is not a beauty treatment, it has some lovely added benefits. It not only encourages lymphatic drainage, stimulates the facial nerves, increases blood flow and muscle tone, but also helps build new skin tissue and improve skin tone. Afterwards, clients often appear lifted both emotionally and physically.

Other Possible Benefits May Include Relief From the Following: Headaches/Migraines, Bruxism (TMJ), Sinus Tension & Drainage, Depression, Lymph Drainage, Anxiety, Stress, Bells, Insomnia, Muscle Tension

Foot Reflexology

What is it & Possible Benefits

Foot reflexology is grounding. And, given that feet are relatively large, the projected map of the body on the foot allows precise working of stresses that may have accumulated.

These two points make foot reflexology an ideal choice for someone who is mentally overactive or suffering from bodily pain. Additional benefits include releasing tensions, increased circulation and helping the body to function optimally

A Few of the Client reported Benefits of regularly scheduled reflexology sessions:

~ Reduced stress ~ Improved relaxation ~ Released tension ~ Improved circulation ~ Decreased pain ~ Improved body function ~ Enhanced wellness ~ Increased strength ~ Increased mobility

Hand Reflexology

What is it & Possible Benefits

Hand reflexology is grounding. Although smaller than the feet, the projected map of the body on the hand still allows precise working of stresses that may have accumulated. Hand reflexology is also perfect for those who don't like having their feet touched.

A Few of the Client reported Benefits of regularly scheduled reflexology sessions:

~ Reduced stress ~ Improved relaxation ~ Released tension ~ Improved circulation ~ Decreased pain ~ Improved body function ~ Enhanced wellness ~ Increased strength ~ Increased mobility

Lymphatic Drainage Reflexology

What is it & Possible Benefits

The technique was developed to help with lymphoedema which is defined as tissue swelling due to the failure of lymph drainage. RLD was developed through clinical practice while working in cancer care outpatient clinics, using reflexology for patients suffering from all kinds of cancers at all stages of the disease. It is based on the same concepts of manual lymphatic drainage massage.

I combine RLD with other lymphatic drainage reflexology techniques I have learned to give you an optimal, bespoke session.

RLD may be useful with the following conditions:

Lymphoedma, Lipoedema, Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue, Sinus Problems, Muscular Tension, PMS, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Aches & Pains, Eczema, ME, Headaches

Menopause Reflexology

What is it & Possible Benefits

Using specific techniques to stimulate specific reflexology points on your face or feet to encourage the body to rebalance itself. By applying targeted pressure to reflex points, blood circulation is improved, helping to regulate hormonal fluctuations reducing common Menopausal symptoms. This encourages deep relaxation and fosters a sense of well-being.

Oncology & Palliative Reflexology

What is it & Possible Benefits

Oncology & Palliative reflexology is designed to support you in your oncology journey from diagnosis onwards.

It can help alleviate symptoms from chemotherapy and other medications.

It can relieve stress, anxiety, pain and chemo induced peripheral neuropathy.

These sessions are generally lighter and shorter than a full foot reflexology session and designed to support you. Each session may be different depending on the symptoms you wish to address.

Sessions are available in your home or hospital. Please contact me directly to arrange.

*An additional travel fee of $10.00 will apply to home or hospital visits.*

Champissage: Indian Head Massage

What is it & Possible Benefits

Champissage: Indian Head Massage is a form of massage that focuses on the face, head, neck, shoulders and upper arms which are important energy centers within the body where tension accumulates resulting in stiff necks and shoulders as well as headaches.

A firm and gentle rhythm is used to release blockages and relieve tension and pain.

This form of massage combines physical massage with a more subtle form of energy balancing which affects a person’s energy centers.

This Ayurvedic element of Chakra energy balancing focuses on the three higher chakras and has a powerful effect and can bring the energy of the whole body back into balance creating a deep sense of peace, calm and well-being.

Crystal Energy Therapy

What is it & Possible Benefits

In crystal therapy we treat the body as a whole and we count on reducing stress and creating a

relaxed state in order to encourage your body to heal itself. Working with the body as a whole and using your feedback I will use crystals that are grounding and centering to guide you into a space of relaxation. I will then use complimentary colours to restore and replenish that space first. I will then replace them with crystals of the colours to that energy centre to activate its energy once more. Finally I will replace those crystals with grounding stones to bring you back to yourself.

THE HEALING EFFECTS OF CRYSTAL THERAPY

• Promotes the body’s self-healing abilities • Can support the balance of emotional energy

• Crystals hold space to experience mental clarity • Increases mental/emotional awareness

• Encourages the development of creativity • Unlocks the intuition

• Amplifies energy if there is a lack

• Encourages relaxation – if there is too much energy or hyperactivity

• Holds space for emotional release
