2 2 Train as a professional reflexologist! What is Reflexology? Reflexology is a non-invasive and relaxing complementary therapy that aims to optimise both physical and emotional health. It works by massaging and stimulating specific points (usually on the feet but sometimes on the hands, face and ears) called reflex points. These points correspond to different parts of the body. Reflexologists work holistically to treat the whole person not just the symptoms and I will therefore be able to provide general lifestyle advice and support to you. Benefits of Reflexology Receiving Reflexology can offer many benefits to help optimize health as well as promoting relaxation and de-stressing. Having a Reflexology treatment also allows you to have time out from your busy life, it is a time where you can focus purely on yourself. This should not be underestimated, it is so important that you make time to be able to clear your mind and totally relax.
