A reflexology session will last around 45 minutes and depending on the alternative holistic therapy it can last from 35 minutes to 90 minutes. It will begin with a full consultation about your medical history and what you wish to gain from your treatment. You will then relax on a massage couch (later stages of pregnancy will be on a reclining chair for comfort and safety), I start the session by guided breathing techniques to reset the nervous system before the start of any therapy.

Reflexology and massage should not be painful but some areas may feel more tender when pressure is applied. This usually corresponds with an area that has a build up of congestion and with gentle pressure should begin to ease. In some cases a course of treatments is recommended to be able to gain the full effects of the treatment, but a full treatment plan is completed after the session and discussed with you.

After the treatment, a client usually feels very calm, relaxed and sleepy. Most clients report that they have improved sleep, better moods and increased energy after an initial treatment. To gain maximum benefit from any holistic treatment, it is advised that you drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine in the hours immediately after your treatment.

If you have any queries regarding the treatment, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
