Reflexology
Reflexologists believe that areas of the feet, hands, face, and ears represent the organs as well as other parts of the body and body systems. By using alternating pressure with our fingers and thumbs to stimulate specific reflexes.
Reflexologists work on those reflexes and areas with the aim of promoting the bodies self healing, returning the body to it's natural balance, optimising good health, wellbeing and deep relaxation.
I believe stress affects every system in the body, I practice Duopody which works all fourteen body systems, using this treatment along with NEPIP {Neuroendopsychoimmunopody} I have seen the holistic benefits in reducing the effects of stress.
Since practicing reflexology I have learnt that lifestyle can have a huge impact on our bodies in turn increasing the symptoms of stress.
The benefits of reflexology in reducing stress are an improved sense of wellbeing, enhanced mood, as well as a feeling of deep relaxation, the relaxing affect that reflexology has will help relieve the tension in our muscles, reflexology energises and stimulates the release of waste from the body and aids sleep. In addition to this reflexology restores balance between the divisions of the nervous system, reflexology also improves cardiovascular and lymphatic circulation.

Kim is a fantastic reflexologist, very talented and knowledgeable. Her treatment room is both warm and inviting and so calming and relaxing and of course, she has the magic touch. I felt so relaxed after my treatment and certainly slept well! You will be in very good hands (and feet) with her. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.
