Foot reflexology is a therapeutic practice based on the idea that specific points on the feet correspond to different organs, glands, and systems of the body. By applying gentle pressure to these reflex points, a foot reflexologist stimulates energy flow, supports the body’s natural healing processes, and helps restore balance. This non-invasive treatment is deeply relaxing and may help reduce stress, improve circulation, relieve tension, and support overall well-being.
Foot reflexology is often used to support issues such as digestive discomfort, hormonal imbalance, headaches, and sleep disturbances. While it does not diagnose or cure medical conditions, it works holistically to encourage harmony within the body. Each session is tailored to the individual, making it a calming and restorative experience.

What to expect
In a reflexology session, you can expect a calm and relaxing experience focused on your feet. At the start, your reflexologist will discuss your health history, lifestyle, and any concerns or areas you'd like to focus on. You’ll remain fully clothed except for your shoes and socks, and you'll recline or lie back comfortably on a treatment couch or chair.
The reflexologist will gently cleanse your feet and begin by warming them up with light massage techniques. They’ll then apply pressure to specific reflex points on your feet, which correspond to organs and systems in your body. You may feel slight tenderness in some areas, but overall the treatment is soothing and deeply relaxing.
Sessions typically last between 45 to 60 minutes. Afterward, you might feel calm, refreshed, or even sleepy as your body begins to rebalance.
