What to expect with a foot reflexology

The initial treatment will include a detailed consultation. This is very important to gather the appropriate knowledge of your medical history and your lifestyle, enabling me to build a greater understanding of you as a whole person.

You will be fully clothed with just socks and shoes to be removed. I will cleanse your feet and begin with a warm up massage, followed by the reflexology routine using various techniques including finger and thumb walking, pivoting, hook ins and rotations.

The pressure is medium firm, so it won't tickle but will allow enough pressure for the reflexes to be stimulated.

You might feel sensations throughout the treatment and sometimes areas on the feet are more tender. I chart all the sensations that I pick up and anything you do too.

When the treatment is over, I will wash my hands and get you a glass of water to allow you to ground yourself before leaving.

What to expect with a facial reflexology

Again, the initial treatment requires a detailed consultation so allow an extra 20 minutes. I will gather the appropriate information about you as a whole person, medical, lifestyle, diet and exercise and environmental factors. This helps to guide me in the treatment.

You will be fully clothed and I only ask that you do not wear makeup and limit jewellery. I will begin with soothing hot towels and a simple Neal's Yard Remedies facial wash. Next is a relaxing massage over the face and then I will stimulate various reflex points that are mapped across the face. This will be performed by applying a firm pressure in very slow circular or sideward movements using the finger pad. It is wonderfully hypnotic and deeply relaxing.

The treatment will end with another massage of the face. The entire session will be an hour. I always allow time for you to 'come to' before leaving, particularly if you are driving.

I will need you to wear loose trousers or shorts as I will work up to your knees.

It begins with washing of my hands and your feet and lower legs. The first section of the Thai foot massage begins with slow repetitive pressure along the energy lines of the lower legs and the feet.

The second section involves the use of wax, various techniques of massage, stretching, using the hands, thumbs and a special carved rosewood stick.

The stick will also be used to apply pressure on the reflex points across the foot. Followed by hot towels.

The final section is a more invigorating part, preparing you for the end of the treatment, hopefully leaving you deeply relaxed, yet energised.

I will need you to be comfortable to remove your top so that I can massage the arms, neck, chest and shoulders. You will be covered at all times with a towel, the room will be heated and the couch warmed with an electric blanket to keep you toasty.

The facial will begin with a deep cleanse using products best suited to your skin type and needs. It includes a facial wash and cream cleanser. In between, hot towels will be applied followed by a cool toner, to stimulate the blood. An exfoliation and mask will then be applied and while the mask is working its magic, I will massage your hands and arms using a gorgeous body butter. After the mask has been removed, a further tone and serum is applied. I use the lovely wild rose beauty balm to massage the neck, chest and shoulder area, followed by a facial oil to perform the facial massage. The treatment will end with a scalp massage and some extra moisturiser and a beautiful facial mist that indicates the end of the session.

The benefits of hot stone reflexology

This offers all the benefits of regular reflexology and
It can help increase circulation and elimination of waste products.
It can help improve circulation and lymphatic function.
It can help relax the muscles.

What to expect with a hot stone reflexology

I will need you to be comfortable and wear loose trousers or shorts, skirt, dress as I will work up to your knees.

Hot stone reflexology is the application of heated stones with manual reflexology, the combination of which provides a deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience.

The subtle energies of the warm stones calm the senses, relax muscle tension and can produce a deep relaxed state. The heat from the stones can penetrate to a deeper level giving a different, soothing, comforting reflexology treatment.

The stones used are known as basalt which is porous and a product of volcanic/sedimentary action, leaving a beautiful dense stone which retains heat.

I will use the heated stones to provide the warm up massage and the reflexology routine will use hot stones of various sizes to complete the treatment.

The treatment ends with another massage using the stones and I will then wrap your feet, wash my hands and give you some water to help ground you before leaving.
