Acupressure & Reflexology

Acupressure Massage - Acupressure is an ancient approach to restoring and maintaining health. It is based on the Oriental philosophy that qi (also 'ki' or 'chi') energy, the life force that flows within us, is the key to our physical, emotional and spiritual health. If the flow of energy becomes blocked, there is disharmony and disease. When qi flows unobstructed through the energy meridians in our body, our energy is harmonized and the blockages that cause disease in the body/mind/spirit are removed.

When acupressure is combined with massage, it relaxes the body while energizing it. A therapist uses finger pressure, not needles, to massage muscles and increase vitality and promote health. Acupressure massage is used as preventive health care. The stimulation of reflex points can alert the individual to the presence of sore spots. Acupressure massage is safe and effective for people with a variety of lifestyles. The acupressure massage is done on a massage table, massage pad or chair. You will be covered at all times.

Reflexology - The ancient healing art of reflexology has been known to man for many thousands of years. It was first practiced by the early Indian, Chinese and Egyptian peoples.

How Can Reflexology Help You?
Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of "imbalance", and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing.
I will use my hands to apply gentle pressure to the feet. For each person the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet, and by working on these points I can release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased, and circulation and elimination is improved. This gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse.

Who Can Benefit From Reflexology?
Since reflexology treats the whole person, not the symptoms of disease, most people benefit from treatment. The therapy brings relief to a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, and is suitable for all ages.
