What
is reflexology?
Our hectic lifestyles and increasing responsibilities in life often lead to
emotional and/or physical stress. As a result, ‘blockages’ or ‘knots’
of the energy channels in the body occur and often this can lead to illness,
such as back pains, sleep and digestive disorders as well as lack of energy.

Reflexology is a method of stimulation and manipulation of reflex points on the feet, as well as relaxation techniques which promote overall inner balance between the organs, glands and body systems to help the body with its self-healing.
By massaging the reflex areas regularly through reflexology, the blockages caused by stress, toxins and build up of chemical waste can be eased and cleared. This allows the energy to flow freely again through the zones of the body. Thus promoting physical and mental well-being!
