DISCOVER REFLEXOLOGY
A Natural Way to Heal
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is an ancient holistic healing therapy in which pressure is applied to specific points on the feet, hands, face or ears that correspond to each organ, gland and part of the body. By using this technique we help increase circulation, lymphatic drainage, digestion and metabolism, as well as activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and repair). Reflexology encourages removal of blockages and promotes flow in the body, helping to restore balance and optimal health. Benefits are many, including pain management, stress reduction, improved sleep and much more.
While some forms of reflexology can be uncomfortable and painful, I believe healing is best reached when working with a balance between pleasure and therapeutic pressure.
