“Jo was amazing. She started the reflexology session with some calm breathing techniques and the vagus hold, to calm the fight or flight response.

I loved the holistic approach to the session, and I really benefited from her expert reflexology. Jo gave me really good feedback after the session which I found very beneficial. A serene, relaxing experience. I would highly recommend.”

Reflexology.

Reflexology is a type of massage that uses pressure on specific points along the feet or hands. Areas of the foot or hands correspond to organs and systems of the body and when pressure is applied to these areas, it is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body, helping many ailments and creating balance.

Benefits of Reflexology.

Gives total relaxation:

Reflexology could slow down your heart rate, lower blood pressure, slow your breathing rate, encourage deep breathing, reduce stress and relieve depression.

Reflexology stimulates over 7,000 nerves in the feet and encourages the opening and clearing of neural pathways.  It interrupts pain pathways and reduces pain.

 Promotes psychological well-being:

When stressed our bodies become more susceptible to illness and disease.  Reflexology reduces stress and provides total relaxation.  Once the treatment starts, the relaxation begins.
