FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a gentle, holistic therapy that works by applying pressure to specific points on the feet and hands. These points correspond to different organs, systems, and areas of the body, helping to stimulate energy flow, promote relaxation, and support overall well-being.
What are the benefits of reflexology?
Reflexology can help reduce stress, improve circulation, support the body’s natural healing processes, and relieve tension. Many clients find it helpful for relaxation, pain management, sleep improvement, and emotional balance.
How does foot reflexology differ from hand reflexology?
Both techniques use pressure points to promote healing, but foot reflexology tends to provide a deeper, more grounded experience due to the number of reflex points in the feet. Hand reflexology is equally beneficial, particularly for people who may have mobility issues or prefer a lighter approach.
What happens during a reflexology treatment?
You’ll relax in a comfortable position while I gently apply pressure to specific reflex points on your feet or hands. The session is designed to be soothing, and you may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation.
Does reflexology hurt?
Reflexology is not meant to be painful. However, certain reflex points may feel tender if there is an imbalance in that area. Any discomfort is usually brief, and the pressure can always be adjusted to suit your comfort level.
What should I do before an after a session?
Before your session, wear comfortable clothing and stay hydrated. Afterward, drink plenty of water, rest if needed, and be mindful of any physical or emotional shifts you notice.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of sessions depends on your wellness goals. Some clients feel benefits after just one session, while others choose regular treatments for ongoing support. We can discuss what feels best for you.
Can reflexology help with specific health conditions?
Reflexology is a complementary therapy that supports overall wellness. While it can aid relaxation and may help manage symptoms, it should not replace medical care. If you have a specific health condition, I’m happy to discuss how reflexology might support you alongside conventional treatments.
Is reflexology safe for everyone?
Reflexology is generally safe for most people, but there may be considerations for certain medical conditions. If you’re pregnant, have circulatory issues, or specific health concerns, let me know so we can tailor the treatment to your needs.
