Reflexology is an ancient practice – people have been working the feet to achieve health and wellbeing for thousands of years.
 
Reflexology works by applying gentle pressure to reflex points on the feet, or hands, to stimulate the body’s own healing system and bring about a state of deep relaxation. Each reflex point corresponds to a different part of the body and messages are sent via the nervous system to regulate and increase energy levels throughout the 8 bodily systems; digestive, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, skeletal, muscular, neurological and respiratory.
More specifically it brings equilibrium to any areas where blockages exist that are preventing the body from functioning at its optimum. Reflexology can find and help correct these imbalances even if you are unaware they exist.
 
By bringing the whole body into balance reflexology can help with disorders that are not necessarily presenting an obvious dysfunction from a particular body part.
Insomnia, for example, can be as a result of bad digestion, an imbalance within the endocrine system (hormone release), muscle tension, a bone injury and/or stress. All of these need to be assessed and treated to help with this presenting condition.

Foot Chart

There are 67 reflex points on each foot and when pressure is applied to an area corresponding with a part of the body where an imbalance exists, it will feel tender. Crystal deposits under the skin may be detected at this reflex point also. These sensations will subside as the condition becomes treated.

Treatments

You can benefit by having a one-off treatment, a monthly ‘service’ or more regular treatments for an acute or chronic condition.

Each treatment lasts 50 minutes, unless it is your first, in which case a 30 minute consultation will be added.

A Presenting Condition

After an initial consultation, a treatment plan will be put together consisting of all the areas of the body that may be affecting your disorder. Even though it is important to work on all areas of the body to achieve optimum health throughout, more emphasis will be applied to these particular areas. The pressure will be tailored to your needs and desire throughout the treatment.

Depending on the condition being treated and it’s severity, the number of treatment sessions required will vary. This will be discussed at your first treatment. Some people also choose to have ‘top ups’ to keep the condition at bay.

Relaxation / Energy Boost

Treat yourself anytime to a pampering treatment when feeling stressed, overworked or just feeling sluggish. You will feel the difference and your skin will glow. You will receive your treatments in a reclining chair with a view of the garden in an oasis of calm.

Benefits

However, you don’t need to have a ‘condition’ to enjoy the harmonising effects that reflexology can give. The benefits include the following:

  • creating a feeling of well-being and optimum health
  • improved circulation
  • hormone balance
  • removal of toxins from the body
  • pain relief
  • assisted healing, esp. effective post op.
  • improved muscle tone and relaxation
  • manipulation of the feet (or hands) for ease of joints, muscles, ligaments etc.
  • nerve stimulation
  • psychological comfort
  • assisting conception
  • providing comfort during pregnancy and preparing for a natural birth
  • balance of mind, body and spirit

Maternity

Because reflexology is a natural, non-invasive treatment it is wonderful to help on many different levels to encourage conception, to help maintain a stress and problem free pregnancy, to help induce the birth of the baby without the use of drugs when the time is right, and to help a new mum get her body back to normal after the birth.

Pre-Conception

The Association of Reflexologists indicates that over 50% of clients seeking reflexology in connection with conception find themselves pregnant within six months.

First and foremost, to conceive, it is vital for your body to be as relaxed and stress-free as possible. Reflexology can achieve this and can also give all the parts of the body that play an important role in conception a ‘kick-start’. Energy pathways can be unblocked and any imbalances that lead to problems of infertility can be corrected.

The satisfaction of knowing that reflexology is harmonising your body, mind and spirit to help create a healthy pregnancy can alone help prepare yourself mentally for such an exciting, yet sometimes daunting life experience.

If you are undergoing fertitlity treatment, reflexology can hugely compliment this procedure by naturally helping to rebalance the hormonal effect of taking fertility drugs. It can also help support you physically and mentally through what can be quite a stressful process.

Christina

When Christina and her husband adopted their twin daughters from China in 2005, she decided to put her Wedding Dress business of 13 years on hold to spend more time with them and to be at home more.

Having always been fascinated by reflexology, having enjoyed many treatments herself, she decided it would be an amazing skill to literally have at the end of her finger-tips to use on her daughters. When she qualified with distinction she knew she’d found another calling! Christina has since established a steady and loyal client base, all enjoying the benefits of her professional, skilful and caring approach! 

“Even after designing dream dresses for brides there is nothing more rewarding than helping people to feel better in mind, body and spirit!”

Testimonials

“I had a wonderful experience throughout my reflexology sessions with Christina. Christina provided a calm haven for my weekly hour of bliss, which as a busy Mum of two was a very welcome. She listened to all my ailments patiently and applied them very well, discussing throughout what she was doing as I was really interested in understanding about the treatment. She also really helped with a bout of insomnia I was experiencing and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an hour of pampering or to assist with specific ailments.” 

Joanna

“Christina’s work is healing on many levels – feet, body, mind and spirit. She invites you into her generous world of energy and gives away with her heart. Plus it just feels bloody good and is really relaxing!”

Ida

“I’ve been seeing Chrissie as I was looking for a way to deal with various minor health issues that I felt were impacting on my overall health.  

It is easy to relax and enjoy the sessions. Chrissie is knowledgable and professional and together with the expert advice she provides, the treatments have had a really positive effect.”

Ruth

“Christina has truly magic hands. Not only is a reflexology treatment with her sublimely relaxing, it also worked to sort out my ailments – all in the comfort of my own home. My skin glowed as a result!”

Claudia

“J’apprécie énormément toute l’expérience de mes séances de réflexologie avec Christina! C’est tellement indulgent d’avoir les pieds debout pendant une heure, après quoi je me sens totalement détendu ou vraiment plein d’énergie en fonction de ce dont mon corps a manifestement besoin. Je pars toujours avec le sentiment que je ne peux pas attendre mon prochain traitement!”

Kirsty

“I had a whole series of reflexology sessions with Christina. She approached each and every one of them with extreme care and professionalism. Not only does she provide a very warm and welcoming setting for her treatment, she also ensures that it is hugely relaxing. I used to really look forward to my next session – and always felt like I was almost “floating” when I left (Christina always having successfully diagnosed any current ailments). I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
