Going for Reflexology, as with any complimentary therapy, is truly a marvelous gift you can give yourself. You are worth the time and money spent and it reaffirms that you too deserve good health. Complimentary therapy works to keep your body in a state of balance to help prevent illness.

Stress has been labeled as the cause of many diseases. It has its purpose of course but should not be allowed to become our normal state of living. Reflexology goes a long way in calming the body and mind. It will also help flush any excess cortisol, a stress hormone produced by the body.

Reflexology can also be a powerful detoxing tool. Toxins enter our body not only through the food and drinks we take but also importantly through medication. One or two treatments can help for someone taking medication on a short term basis but one could consider more regular treatments if on chronic medication.

It should also be noted that you should check with your doctor before you have Reflexology if you are pregnant, have cancer, sever diabetes, epilepsy or heart disease.

Reflexology is wonderful in the way that each session is different, it trusts your body's intelligence to give it what it needs at that time. Sometimes more emotional relief is found and other times the change is seen more on a physical level. Each therapist will also be unique in what they bring to the practice.

Generally, you can expect that your therapist will apply pressure to different areas on your feet and perhaps also on your hands. You may be asked a few questions to begin with followed by a feedback session after the treatment. This is a good time to have a glass of water. Some areas may be more tender than others, share this as you go as it will bring more value to your session. When you make your booking, try plan that you can spend the rest of your day being quiet and detoxing.
