Reflexology

Reflexology treatments are safe, pleasant, relaxing and non–invasive and will provide your body with energy, helping rebalance your system, leaving a feeling of calm and wellbeing. Regular reflexology treatments can also help improve your quality of sleep, mood and immune system.

Reflexology works by applying pressure to certain areas on the feet, known as reflexes, to gently stimulate the corresponding eight systems of the body – skeletal, muscular, neurological, respiratory, endocrine, digestive, vascular, and reproductive/urinary – together with their associated organs.

Stimulation of all these physical systems can also help you conceive, as well as optimise your health throughout your pregnancy, leading to a shorter, easier labour and delivery, followed by a speedier recovery.
