Frequently Asked Questions
What is reflexology?
Reflexology is a gentle, non-invasive
therapy based on the principle that specific points on the feet and hands
correspond to different parts of the body. By applying gentle pressure to these
reflex points, reflexology encourages deep relaxation, improves circulation,
and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
What can reflexology help with?
Reflexology may help with a wide range of physical and emotional conditions, including stress, anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, hormonal imbalance, and digestive issues. It’s suitable for people in good health as well as those managing long-term conditions and can be used safely alongside conventional medical treatment.
What happens during a reflexology treatment?
Your first session begins with a short consultation to discuss your health, lifestyle, and any areas of concern. You’ll then relax in a comfortable reclining chair or couch while I work on your feet using gentle pressure techniques. Most clients find the treatment deeply calming and restorative, many even drift off to sleep!
How will I feel after a treatment?
After a session, you may feel relaxed, sleepy, or experience a sense of lightness and wellbeing. Occasionally, the body may respond with mild temporary effects such as increased urination, slight tiredness, or heightened emotions, this is simply part of your body’s natural balancing process. It’s best to rest, drink plenty of water, and allow time to enjoy the benefits.
How many treatments will I need?
This depends on your individual needs and goals. Some clients come for a one-off relaxation treatment, while others book a course of sessions to support ongoing wellbeing or specific issues. We’ll discuss what’s right for you during your initial consultation.
Is reflexology suitable for everyone?
Reflexology is suitable for most people, but there are some situations where treatment may need to be adapted or postponed (for example, certain medical conditions, infections, or during early pregnancy). I’ll always take a full health history before your first treatment to ensure your session is safe and appropriate for you.
Can I have reflexology alongside medical treatment?
Yes. Reflexology is a complementary therapy, meaning it works alongside not instead of conventional medical care. It can support relaxation and wellbeing during illness or recovery and may help you cope better with stress and fatigue.
What should I wear to my appointment?
You’ll only need to remove your shoes and socks. Wear something comfortable that allows you to fully relax during your treatment.
Do you offer home visits or mobile treatments?
At present, treatments are offered in a calm, private setting designed to help you relax and unwind. Home visits are available on request for clients with mobility or health challenges, please contact me to discuss.
How do I book an appointment?
contact me by email or phone to arrange your appointment. Gift vouchers are also available for a thoughtful and restorative present.
Is reflexology safe during perimenopause or HRT?
Yes. Reflexology can be very supportive during perimenopause and while on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). It helps promote hormonal balance, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality, all of which can ease common menopausal symptoms.

After your session, drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol or heavy meals for a few hours, and allow yourself time to rest. This helps your body process and integrate the benefits of the treatment more effectively.
