What is reflexology? 

Reflexology is a type of complementary health therapy that aims to encourage deep relaxation and overall wellbeing. By helping reduce stress, it plays a role in promoting optimal health and resilience.

This touch-based method operates on the idea that that pressure applied to specific areas on the feet, lower legs, hands, face, or ears connect with various organs and systems within the body. Stimulating these areas is thought to support the body's natural healing processes. 

 

It can help with:  

  • Sleep  
  • Mood 
  • Relaxation 
  • Release of tension  
  • Wellbeing 

How it works 

Blending concepts from ancient Chinese and early 20th-century Western medicine, the body is viewed as interconnected. 

  • Zone theory: Proposed in 1913, this idea divides the body into 10 vertical zones. Stimulating a reflex point on the hand or foot is thought to impact other areas within the same zone. 
  • Energy pathways: Based on traditional Chinese medicine, pressing reflex points may help restore the flow of "qi" (vital energy) for overall wellness. 
  • Nervous system: Modern perspectives suggest reflexology's calming touch relaxes the central nervous system, reducing stress and improving mood. 


It is a personalised therapy that takes a holistic approach, focusing on the complete person by considering both physical and emotional elements that can affect overall wellbeing. It is suitable for people of all ages, from newborns to those in end-of-life care. However, there are times when treatment might not be appropriate.  

 

If you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed or struggling with poor sleep reflexology might be just right for you. 

Treatment and Prices

A full reflexology treatment usually takes 50 mins. The first treatment will be longer because we need to do a consultation beforehand.

 

Prices - £45 per treatment 

Lower Cost Appointments

I offer concessions for reflexology on a sliding scale for unwaged/low waged of £35/40.

Please contact me if this is something you would like to explore.

What happens when you come for a treatment

During a session, you can expect the following: 

  • A full medical history will be required on your first treatment, and you will be asked to sign a consent form. 
  • You will be seated in a reclining chair and asked to remove your shoes and socks, and I will work on your bare feet. 
  • I will use my fingers and thumbs to apply firm pressure and manipulate the reflex points on your feet. 
  • I use a specific lotion that is for sensitive skin and is designed for reflexology. 
  • Most sessions last about 50 mins – 60 mins.  

Sustainable Practice

I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists, and I pledge to fulfil the following guidelines wherever practicable within my therapy practice: 

  1. Minimise unnecessary purchasing in my practice – I use up existing things before buying new ones, and reuse items where appropriate 
  2. Use paper only where necessary, and to choose paper that is recycled/carbon balanced/ FSC or PEFC certified 
  3. Ensure that any products I use are produced in an environmentally sustainable way, e.g. low volume organic production runs 
  4. Ensure that any chemicals used in my practice are not harmful to the environment 
  5. Consider the carbon footprint of items and products used in my practice 
  6. Minimise the waste generated by my practice and make sure any waste generated is recyclable or compostable 
  7. Minimise the impact of my travel on the environment 

My location

I can give mobile treatments and come to your home, or you can visit me and have a treatment in a treatment room that I rent in Dalry.
