DISCOVER REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the principle that reflex points on our feet and hands reflect all of our organs, glands, body parts and systems. Similar to acupressure, reflexology works with the body's energy flow to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function. There are several thousand nerve endings on the sole of each foot. When these nerve endings are stimulated by gentle thumb, finger and hand techniques, the whole body benefits. These techniques interrupt stress patterns in the body, encouraging homeostasis (balance).
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Stress reduction is a primary benefit. As we are aware, many of our health problems are stress-related. Reflexology also improves circulation, thereby allowing your body to do an optimal job of delivery nutrients and oxygen to cells. It is also a therapy that feels good!!
IS REFLEXOLOGY SAFE?
Yes, it is very safe. Reflexology is appropriate for those who are interested in preventive healthcare, as well as for those with more serious health concerns. There are only a few contraindications to its practice. A response to a session is individual, although most clients state that the experience was totally relaxing (see testimonials). Relaxation is a necessary step toward improved health.
WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki has been practiced worldwide for centuries. Developed in Japan by Dr. Mikao Usui and brought to the U.S. in 1973 it offers gentle, yet powerful, relief from stress. Many attest to its healing benefits. Through compassionate touch, Reiki's many benefits include, but are not limited to, relief from stress, tension and anxiety. A client may sit or lie, fully clothed, while the practitioner gently rests their hands on different areas of the body. The deep relaxation induced during Reiki encourages the body's natural healing ability. Reiki is suitable for everyone and practiced in hospitals, hospices and privately.
Reflexology and Reiki are not a substitute for medical diagnoses and treatment. They are a complement to conventional healthcare.
