If this is your first experience of reflexology, here is a brief overview of what you can expect. I will tell you how reflexology can aid the body with rebalancing itself and show you the foot charts that I am guided by, so that you have a full understanding before we begin.
We will then have a conversation about you are hoping to get from the treatment. I will complete a consultation form with you taking personal and medical history details and look at your current lifestyle habits. Getting this broad overview of you both from a physical, mental, and emotional perspective helps me to tailor your treatment plan to your individual needs, and ensure that I am safely treating you, and that there are no contraindicators to reflexology.
Please be reassured that your personal details are kept in a locked cabinet in line with the current GDPR regulations. For more information, please see the GDPR and Data Protection page.
Once you are happy to proceed, you will only need to remove your shoes and socks and take a seat and relax. I use a Lafuma recliner chair. It is a zero-gravity chair which when you are reclined allows the heart and knees to be aligned for easier breather and your spine is fully supported and free from weight baring. Please note the chair may not be acceptable if you suffer from vertigo or have mobility issues getting in and out of chairs, and the maximum weight for the chair is 140kg/ 22 stone. If there are any problems using the chair, please get in touch and we can discuss alternative arrangements for your treatment.
I use Songbirds Naturals Ltd reflexology wax, they use natural and locally sourced ingredients and I have a range of options, from unscented to tea tree and mint, a citrus blend, lavender, balance blend, and always have a vegan option available too.
After your treatment I am happy to discuss the reflexes that showed up and any specific aftercare advice.
Although it would be unfortunate to have to cancel a treatment, please always cancel and reschedule if you feel unwell, or if you or someone in your household have had vomiting or diarrhoea in the past 24 hours. Reflexology helps with things out of balance in the body, and your body works hard to facilitate this, so the healing response as well as being ill is not an ideal combination for you, you are best off getting rest, and there will be no cancellation fee in this situation. There is always a chance that if you attend that I or other clients get ill as a result also. Thank you for your understanding.
