Reflexology
ButtonReflexology treatment
Reflexology is all about bringing balance and a sense of wellbeing to the body. It is suitable for all ages, yet it is not be used as an alternative to seeking medical advice.
The benefits of reflexology are very individual, but in general as you rest and enjoy deep relaxation, it reduces tension, improves mood and aids restful sleep.
When stress is reduced in the body:
- Cortisol levels normalize
- Inflammation decreases
- Sleep, mood, and immunity improve
- Energy & focus return
- Breathing becomes normal
- Digestion is more effective
Reducing stress is one of the highest impact lifestyle interventions and allows the body to do its maintenance work!
Before the treatment begins a full medical history will be taken and an explanation given for what to expect during and after the session.
You will be required to remove shoes and socks, then be seated in a comfortable recliner chair. Pressure is then applied to the feet and lower legs as the reflexes are worked. The pressure can be adapted to suit your preference (it's not ticklish!). Overall the treatment should be relaxing and clients leave feeling recharged, calm and happy.
If wearing trousers, I recommend ones that can roll up to the knee as I include hot stones/massage to the lower legs.
After the treatment:
After a treatment it is recommended a person drinks some water and avoids strenuous exercise for the rest of the day.

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage is a wonderful relaxing treatment and a great way to relieve everyday stress for a nervous system reset.
During this treatment massage is applied to the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp & jaw.
Here's some of its benefits:
- reduces muscle tension

- encourages better sleep quality.
You will be seated in an upright position supported with cushions for comfort. You will only need to remove jacket, tie, jewellery as appropriate. If possible I recommend a vest is worn for the treatment. No oils are used and the pressure of the massage will be adjusted to suit individual preference.

Hot Stone Massage
I usually include some use of hot stones with both Foot Reflexology and Indian Head Massage to warm up the muscles, but this is purely optional and of no extra cost. The effect of heat provides relaxation to the autonomic nervous system and feels blissful!
For Foot Reflexology, the hot stones will be used to massage the lower leg, calf area and feet.
For Indian Head Massage, the hot stones are pressed & held against the tension hot spots in the shoulders. Smaller stones are used in the neck area also.
What are the benefits of using hot stones?
- increases circulation
- increases elimination of waste products
- reduces muscle tension
- promotes relaxation
- increases action of lymphatic function
Facial Reflexology
ButtonFacial Reflexology
Enjoy the unique therapeutic benefits of this award winning method of facial reflexology by Ziggie Bergman.
This wonderful relaxing treatment, much like foot reflexology, focuses on balancing Reflex points which connect to the entire body. Working these reflexes encourages the body's natural healing process. Everyday stress can show in the face, whether we frown or clench our jaw, often without realising it. By relaxing, feeling soothed and calm with this soft touch therapy it will enhance your sense of wellbeing.
Before the session, a medical history will be taken. During the session you will be seated comfortably in a recliner chair, your hair will be covered with a towel and a blanket placed over you for warmth.
After a gentle facial cleansing, a small amount of facial elixir oil is applied to the skin. Not only does this nourish and hydrate the skin but it assists with the smoothing techniques and massage. Once the treatment starts, gentle pressure is applied to different reflex points of the face and you should find this deeply relaxing, maybe even nodding off to sleep!
Aftercare information:
Drink plenty of water to assist detoxification.
If possible allow 1 hour before applying makeup to let the skin breathe.
Avoid stimulants such as tea, coffee and alcohol for 24 hours.
Rest as much as possible.
Facial Reflexology:
60 minute treatment - £60
45 minute treatment - £45
