Reflexology
-
I became a certified reflexologist in 2004 and it became a big part of my massage therapy career. I am now a Registered Reflexology Practitioner which means if you have an awesome insurance package that covers reflexology treatments, this designation will help you get that coverage. Clients can have reflexology as a stand-alone service or add it to their other foot care services.

Reflexology is a focused pressure technique used on the feet, hands or ears. It is based on the philosophy that there are zones and reflex points on different parts of our feet, hands, and ears that correspond to all parts, organs and glands of the body. Through specific manipulations, the reflex points are stimulated and the body’s natural electrical energy works along the nervous system to clear and blockages in the corresponding zone​​
​
After the treatment.
Reflexology treatments stimulate the body to heal itself. The following is a list of common body reactions to a treatment.​
Benefits of reflexology include:​
Stress Reduction
through deep relaxation, reflexology helps the
body balance itself and promotes healing energies
Increased Circulation
by stimulating blood vessels, reflexology allows for an increase in blood flow
Stimulated Nerve Function
there are 7200 nerve endings on the bottoms of our feet that correspond throughout the rest of our bodies. Reflexology helps clear and open neural pathways thus benefiting nerve function
Improved Immune Function
reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system which carries out toxins from our bodies.
Increased Energy
reflexology restores energy by opening up blocked energy pathways within ourselves
Connected
Reflexology helps us stay connected to our beings and Mother Earth​
