My Training
After completing five levels of training with Branch Reflexology Institute I am now offering Foot Reflexology in my practice.
Why
I’ve been searching for another modality in addition to massage in order to help my clients. This will be a great addition to a massage or on its own!
Definition
Foot Reflexology is a science based on the principles that there are reflexes in the feet and hands that correspond to all organs, glands and parts of the body. Its goal is to encourage the release of blockages/congestion in and around the nerve endings while stimulating circulation and improving nerve and blood supply throughout the entire energy system.
Reflexology is not a foot massage and it is different than massage. The theory of reflexology is that it works to release uric acid build-up in the feet and hands. Uric acid is one of the by-products of the function of the kidneys. Since our hands and feet are furthest from our heart and where circulation is the slowest in the body. If you’ve heard of a condition called gout, this is where a person would have extremely elevated level of uric acid in their joint(s) especially around the big toe or fingers.
Why I love this modality!
· Reflexology looks at how our emotional stress can affect our physical body.
· The session is typically 50 minutes and I can get you in and out in an hour. Perfect for those working and on their lunch hour or that don’t want to feel “lotiony” when then continue on with their day.
· Many people do not want to undress for a full body massage. Reflexology only requires you to take your shoes and socks off.
What can you expect from a session
Start out with a foot soak in an Epsom salt bath with lavender or peppermint essential oil. Then you will lay on the table to receive the reflexology session for about 45 minutes. Finish with hot towels for your feet to remove extra lotion.

Timing
Ideally, I’d like to see you once a week for the first 4 weeks to start out with. This will give you the best results. You can also choose to schedule when you want to come as well either with a single session to try it out or multiple sessions. After that it depends on how far you want to spread out the sessions. It helps if you are adding in other things like exercise, yoga, meditation or chiropractic care into your routine.
