When you arrive for your first
Reflexology consultation, I will
take a detailed history from you
so I can find out how reflexology
might help you. This will include
details such as are you on
medication, what your diet and
sleep patterns are like, medical
history, ailments which you are
currently suffering from etc.
If you are on medication or
suffering from an illness and
seeing a doctor or consultant
regularly for it, you will need
to check with your doctor that a
reflexology treatment will
interfere with your illness or
medication.
I will then ask you to sign a
consent form before we begin.
All of this information is
kept strictly confidential but it
will help me give you a more
thorough and effective
reflexology treatment.
Every treatment after this I
will ask you questions about how
you felt after the previous
treatment, how you are at present
and is there any particular areas
you would like me to start
working on.
I treat each client in a fully
holistic manner, taking into
consideration the physical,
intellectual, emotional and
spiritual aspects of their
life.
You will receive your
treatment lying comfortably on a
massage couch. Your shoes and
socks will be removed but you
will otherwise remain fully
clothed.
I will ensure you are warm and
comfortable enough before the
treatment begins.

I will begin your treatment by
gently cleansing the feet with
antiseptic wipes and inspect your
toes for any infections or
injury. I will then use a oil
mixed with essential oils (unless
pregnant) to massage the feet to
relax you first. When I begin
reflexology I will check the
pressure that I am using is
comfortable for you.
As I work around the feet I
will detect areas of imbalance
where the normal flow of energy
is impaired. These areas can be
tender, 'crunchy' and may have
crystals on them. By applying
firm but comfortable pressure on
these blocked areas I can ease or
clear the congestion. This will
set the body's own healing
mechanism in motion and help your
body return to a state of
balance. You will feel very
relaxed throughout the
treatment.
Throughout the treatment I
will ask you questions to see if
you feel any sensations on
particular areas or have any
interesting reactions. I will
take notes of all my observations
and at the end of the treatment I
will tell you where I feel the
imbalances of energy are. I will
not diagnose illnesses as I do
not have a medical qualification
but these areas of imbalance
usually relate to the organs
where you may have a blockage now
or in the past or future.
I will finish the treatment
with a gentle foot massage using
relaxing strokes and techniques.
I will explain what you may
experience as a result of the
treatment and offer you some
water to flush out the toxins.
You should drink at least 8
glasses of water over the next 12
hours to eliminate the toxins
which have been released during
the treatment. The whole
treatment lasts 1 hour.
