Understanding the art of reflexology

Discover the gentle, soothing, and relaxing benefits of reflexology. It treats the whole person and it is excellent for improving mood and wellbeing.

An ancient practice for modern wellbeing

Reflexology is an ancient healing therapy with roots dating back over 5,000 years. In the 1930s, Eunice Ingham developed modern reflexology by mapping areas on the feet that directly correspond to specific organs, systems, and glands throughout the body.

Using specialised thumb-walking techniques and targeted zone pressure, a practitioner feels for delicate granular textures, crystal-like deposits, or areas of tenderness. These subtle signs highlight tension patterns across the body, encouraging natural release and internal harmony.

What to expect during your appointment

Your comfort is at the heart of every session. Ahead of your visit, we will check that reflexology is suitable for you and review any personal expectations or questions. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing so your lower legs up to the knees are easily accessible.

You will only need to remove your shoes and socks. Feet are gently refreshed before a soothing reflexology balm is applied. There is no need to worry about ticklish feet, dry or hard skin or unpainted nails; firm, mindful pressure ensures the treatment feels deeply relaxing rather than tickly or painful.
