You can! All our treatments are non-invasive and are available for almost anyone at any age, stage or ability. There are a few contraindications for our refexology treatments, which include: - if you currently have blood clots or deep vein thrombosis - if you've recently had heart surgery - if you're experiencing a high-risk pregnancy If you're unsure if a treatment is suitable for you, please get in touch.

The purpose of these treatments is simple: to help you and your body relax so it can best take care of itself. Beyond that, reflexology is considered a complementary therapy that may help support the body with the following: Improving: - sleep quality - energy levels and mood - circulation - lymphatic drainage - nervous system function Reducing: - aches and pains, including migraines - hypertension - stress and anxiety levels - nausea Please note that as each person has unique states of health and wellbeing, how you respond to a treatment will be individual to you and none of the above can be guaranteed. If you're interested in learning more, I recommend this University of Minnesota article, which summarises the results of a number of medical studies on the effects of reflexology. Whilst acknowledging that more studies with greater sample sizes need to be completed, the evidence suggests that reflexology can indeed positively influence the symptoms of a number of specific conditions.

Our standard appointments are one hour, but shorter or longer appointments can be requested. All appointments include time at the start for a pre-treatment check-in, and time at the end for post-treatment care and recommendations. The rest is hands-on time.

Something you feel comfortable in as you'll be fully clothed during your session. Foot reflexology: You'll be barefoot for the treatment, and will need to either push or roll up your pant legs to just below your knees. Hand reflexology: You'll need to take off your watch and remove any rings (if possible). Indian head massage: It's best not to wear anything bulky on your top half. If you're wearing earrings or spacers, you'll need to take them out. Auricular therapy: You'll need to take out any piercings or spacers.

As often as you like, though it's recommended that you leave at least a day between treatments to allow the body to settle again.

Sometimes, though it varies from person to person and from session to session. Some will be obviously positive, like feeling more relaxed, sleeping better, or perhaps experiencing an improvement in mood or tension. Others may experience things like headaches, lethargy, and even moodiness. This is normal and shouldn't last. Just like with massage, the best thing you can do is to stay well hydrated (with water ;) ).

It shouldn't. I practice Western techniques, which are more gentle by nature as their primary intent is to help you and your body relax. That said, you may experience some tenderness over some of your reflex points. Some people do experience what they've described as tingles, warmth, and other hard-to-describe-but-feels-good sensations.
