Reflexology Treatments
Foot reflexology is a calming and balancing treatment that uses specific thumb or finger manipulations to work reflexes on the feet, as well as general relaxing massage moves. I will cover all reflexes on both feet to give a holistic treatment, as well as focussing on particular areas of imbalance should any be identified.
If there are areas of imbalance it is possible that the corresponding reflexes will be sensitive when worked, and some people also feel interesting sensations in their body, such as tingling, warmth, lightness, a feeling of release or opening up. This is all good, a sign of energy flowing freely within the nervous system. Regular reflexology will often result in clients sleeping better and feeling generally calmer and more balanced.
All reflexology treatments begin with foot cleansing using refreshing cleansing wipes, followed by application of a silky smooth powder to enable me to perform the movements without slippage. At the end of your treatment I may gently file your feet if you have a lot of hard skin, and will finish by massaging your feet with my refreshing foot & body lotion. Of course, as well as working the reflex points, a reflexology treatment will by default give you an intensive foot massage. This can help with conditions specific to the feet such as plantar fasciitis and other tendon problems, soft tissue problems caused by bunions, and general wear and tear.
I offer the following Reflexology treatments:
Reflexology
Lasting one hour, this wonderfully calming and relaxing session covers the main reflex points on both feet and helps to restore balance and encourage self-healing throughout the whole body. At the end of the treatment you will feel rejuvenated and light, like you’re walking on air.
Extended Reflexology
Lasting one and a quarter hours, this treatment not only covers the main reflex points on both feet but also includes extra time for focussed deep work on areas that could benefit from further attention. We may choose this treatment if a previous session had highlighted areas needing intensive work.
What My Clients Are Saying
“I have been going to Kate now for approximately 2 years and was recommended by a friend. Since then I cannot imagine not having a massage regularly. Kate is excellent at putting people at ease, in a situation which for ladies (and men) of a certain age can be somewhat intimidating. She works on whichever part isn't working too well and I never leave without feeling so much better in both mind and body. It is such a relaxing hour that it doesn't last long enough! The reflexology is wonderful too! So worthwhile. Thank you Kate!.
“The best deep tissue massage I've had! Years of intensive computer based work have taken its toll on my shoulders, causing tension and pinched nerves. Kate's extensive knowledge and expertise enables her to quickly pinpoint problem areas, loosen tight muscles and release tension with the perfect amount of pressure. Since I started having monthly deep tissue massages the pinched nerves have become a distant memory. I consider my monthly massages essential to my self-care, combining deep tissue work with a bit of a pampering head massage. I leave relaxed and happy! I can also highly recommend Kate's reflexology sessions.
