Why people love reflexology

Reflexology can work very specifically to help the body heal itself and clients will often seek a reflexologist for help with common ailments such musculo-skeletal pain, insomnia, hormonal or digestive issues. In many cases they will see their symptoms improve or disappear but, by then, they have discovered how deeply relaxing reflexology can be to their whole being which results in better sleep, peace of mind and less anxiety. Reflexology appeals to many people because it is non-invasive; the only clothes to be removed are shoes and socks. The hands, as well as the feet, can be worked and this allows discrete self-help relaxing techniques to be applied at any time.

SELF CARE TIP: Unplug.


Create sacred spaces in your days or weeks where you unplug from everything. No emails, internet, blackberry, nothing. We are turning into an ADD society, jumping from one distraction to another. Seize back control. Unplug regularly or you’ll burn out your emotional programming.

Our sleep needs

This may come as good news to fans of sleep! And for those of us who aren't able to nap during the day (for whatever reason), reflexology is another way to get the same excellent benefits. According to research by Dr. Jesus Manzanares of Barcelona, EEGs show that our brains enter a Theta state after just 15 minutes of reflexology (vs 30-45 minutes of mediation). "Theta brain waves are the brain state of REM sleep (dreams), hypnosis, lucid dreaming, and the barely conscious state just before sleeping and just after waking."
