WHAT a beautiful therapy reflexology is, and nobody can be forgotten where this therapy is concerned. Reflexology is an ancient healing practice that involves the application of light pressure on particular point on the feet that are reflected and connected to point on the whole body.

I have had the privilege of working on many sets of feet since I qualified in reflexology. The benefit can be seen for all members of the family from the very young to more mature and wider members of the family. It is amazing to be able to read what is going on in peoples lives through reading the feet.

Emotional Health – with reflexology being of a tactic of nature it is often quite nurturing and is done in a compassionate environment that encourages mental clarity and emotional balance. Reflexology creates an environment where people often feel safe to talk about their emotion without being judged.

During the initial assessment it is easy to see where the emotional issues are, and some are very happy to discuss and speak about where they are at emotionally.

Stress reduction and relaxation – one of the primary benefits of reflexology is how calming it is on the body, and it is highly effective at reducing stress and promoting relaxation. The benefit of reflexology can be felt for anything from hours to days. A great night’s sleep is one of the top benefits of reflexology.

At the end of each treatment at the clinic I wrap the feet in warm blankets with a soothing light massage that brings the treatment to a most beautiful completion. My signature ending is followed by the spray of St Michael Aura spray which bring a nice holistic approach to the treatment.

Improve Circulation – With the application of pressure to the feet it encourages the flow of blood throughout the body helping oxygen and nutrients reach the organs more effectively. Extremely supportive for clients with a desire for better circulation.

Pain – Pain can span across the whole body from migraines, back pain, joint pain, PMS etc. Reflexology has been known to reduce tension and provide relief from all types of pain and even chronic pain. I have seen this in the clinic over the years. Often if pain is chronic after a number of treatments, I usually recommend to incorporate other treatments at the clinic. Wonderful progress is made in the reduction of pain.

Mental clarity – reflexology has the potential to address mental clarity, improve focus and create a more balanced emotional state. Most clients may fall into a light sleep or meditative state during the treatment. Others may use it as an opportunity to express where they are in life and like to explore their thoughts. This has proven to be very rewarding for clients.

I do believe that we don’t speak out enough about how we feel about things. When we hear ourselves speak about our problems, often we find the solution for ourselves. It is always good to talk!

These are just some of the benefits of reflexology for the family.

Reflexology at the Clare Wellness Clinic is a treat for the toes and it is true to say that in each treatment I get to work on people’s soul. Helping people to feel like they are walking on sunshine and leave a little sparkle wherever they go!

It is a treatment that is loved by all. It is my greatest pleasure to see how relaxed and calm clients feel as they receive this beautiful therapy.

It’s available on its own or in combination.
