Reflexology
Reflexology is a holistic healing practise that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, &/or face. This pressure helps to stimulate the body's natural healing processes, promote relaxation & improve overall wellbeing.
What Should I Expect During a Reflexology Session?
You will fill out a health questionnaire before we begin, this is so I can get an overview of your general health, reasons for seeking reflexology & if I have any questions to follow up on. I will probably ask a few questions throughout the treatment & please feel free to ask me anything too. Please feel free to chat away or close your eyes & have some time to yourself.
You will feel welcome, comfortable, at ease & leave feeling like you're walking on air!
Does pain mean problem?
No, pain does not necessarily mean problem.
I will look at the health of the feet, the colour & skin - this will give me a good indication of any imbalances first. When the reflexes are out of balance, you may not be able to feel much to start. I will "wake up" the reflexes throughout the session, this is when it may feel uncomfortable, we are trying to achieve a "sweet spot" when the reflex lets go and starts to balance out.
I also have a lot of clients that have ticklish feet...please do not worry, reflexology does not tickle!
Gua Sha Cranial & Facial Stone Therapy
Gua translates as "scrape" & Sha as "redness of the skin".
Raising Sha is the process of rubbing certain tools over the skin to bring blood flow to the surface. Facial Gua Sha is a gentle massage, which has been adapted from the traditional Chinese Medicine. Facial oil is applied to allow specialist tools to glide over the skin, to release tight muscles, improve lymphatic drainage, sculpt the jawline & smooth out lines & wrinkles.
The specialist tools fall into the Stone Medicine Theory which creates a deeper & more profound healing layer to the treatment.
A 90 minute treatment manages to tap into many therapies - Neck & Shoulder Massage, Cranial Massage, Indian Head Massage, Facial Reflexology, Facial Gua Sha & Massage, Stone Medicine & Zone Therapy.
Many of my clients have drifted off to sleep during a session, but awoke feeling replenished, grounded & wanting more...
A real treat for achieving balance!
What happens in a Gua Sha Treatment?
A 90 minute session involves a relaxing Head Massage & the use of a jade stone comb to work the cranial acupressure points & meridians on the head.
A Rose and Geranium Facial Cleanser to used, along with hot towels, to cleanse the face, neck & chest.
A silky Amethyst Crystal-Infused Elixir oil is applied to the chest, neck, shoulders & face. Using a combination of stones and touch, a Gua Sha sequence is performed over these areas, working out tension, smoothing fine lines & wrinkles, tapping into facial reflexology points & creating calm for the body & soul.
Hot towels remove the oil (if you wish), then finishing off with a luxurious organic crème which feeds the skin, strengthens elasticity & uplifts the senses.
