Reflexology
Balance the body, balance the mind.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a complimentary therapy dating back 5,000 years, used by the Egyptians, Chinese and Native Americans. They believed that by using a technique of applying gentle pressure to your hands or feet it can bring about a state of relaxation and help the body’s own healing process.
It arrived in Ireland in the 1980’s and has rapidly grown in popularity here becoming firmly established as an effective and gentle form of holistic therapy. Caroline specialises in African Reflexology, which is a gentle form of reflexology where both feet are worked in unison.
Improve Your Body
In reflexology we believe that your whole body is mapped out on your feet and by working these points we can help bring the body back to a balanced state, improving the body’s functions.
Reflexology is used to help treat many health problems relating to the Lymphatic System, Respiratory System, Endocrine System, Nervous System, Reproductive System, Urinary System, Digestive System, Muscular System, Immune System and Circulatory system. It is suitable for all ages from the very young to the elderly.

During the Treatment
During your reflexology treatment you are invited to relax and switch off. This encourages your body’s response to the work that is being carried out on it. Most people tend to fall asleep or enter a deep state of relaxation. The reflexologist may detect imbalances in your feet, which can feel gritty and congested and which can indicate a build-up of waste by-products such as lactic acid, uric acid and calcium deposits.
The area being worked may feel slightly tender or bruised but the pressure applied can help to disperse these toxins and release blockages, restoring a feeling of wellbeing.

Let your feet reveal the answer, find the sore spot work it out.”
