The Holistic Hut - Reflexology

I offer Reflexology taster sessions for those who are who are maybe unsure of reflexology and haven’t tried before and would like a taster to see if this is a treatment for you. ​

Hot Stone Reflexology really does take Reflexology to another level helping you to feel restored, rebalanced and rejuvenated.

This truly indulgent feeling treatment, using various massage techniques and warm stones, relaxes the body at its deepest level and is effective in creating harmony and balance. The subtle energies of stones introduced into the treatment calm the senses, relax muscle tension and promote a meditative state.

Warm stones have been used as a therapeutic tool for massage for centuries with evidence dating back to ancient Egypt, China, Japan, South America and Australia.

Put your feet up with a warm herbal foot soak, exfoliating scrub and moisturising mask followed by a lovely lower leg massage and full reflexology treatment using Neal’s Yard Organic Remedies foot creams and balms.

Reflexology is a particularly successful fertility boosting therapy when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and lifestyle. Apart from relaxation, it can also boost blood circulation, help balance hormone levels and regulate the menstrual cycle. It is particularly useful in cases of sub-fertility and can be performed on both partners to promote optimum fertility. Reflexology can also help clients undergoing fertility treatment (IVF, IUI, ICSI and clients on medicated cycles). The increased blood circulation seems to enhance the effects of medical fertility treatment.

Reflexology in pregnancy is a wonderful tool to help relax and revive the mind, body and spirit. through the 40 weeks the baby is growing in the womb, a woman’s body has a great deal to do and undergoes many changes, both hormonal and physical. These changes can cause a variety of problems, ranging from morning sickness to swollen ankles, feet and fingers. It’s also a time when an expectant mother can experience strong emotional feelings. Throughout pregnancy babies are very aware of the environment outside the womb and the emotional state of the mother. As well as helping to relieve many of the common minor ailments associated with pregnancy, reflexology can help the mother, and therefore the baby; remain in a balanced and healthy state physically, mentally and spiritually.

Facial reflexology is based on the same theory as traditional reflexology on the feet and hands. As well as the reflex points on the face, there is also an effective therapeutic massage techniques and regular application can work as a natural facelift, rejuvenation method, improve lymphatic drainage and can help to clear sinuses.

It is a deeply relaxing treatment that aims to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanism. The aim of foot and facial Reflexology is to promote healing and help balance the whole body so that it can function at an optimal level. Facial Reflexology is such an effective treatment due to the closeness of the face to the brain and cranial nerves, and this will also have an effect on all body systems.

Quartz crystals and various gems are already found in many facials and body creams, due to the recognition that they enhance the effect of the product. Quartz is a piezoelectric material that generates an electrical charge and was discovered by Pierre Curie and his brother Jacques in 1880. The concept of using crystal energy was developed further in 1970 with the introduction of quartz watches. When crystals are used independently in massage or facials they emit a natural form of light/energy that stimulates the neurological system and sends positive messages/signals to the brain and throughout the body. The light permeates through the skin to a deeper, cellular level encouraging healthy growth patterns and a rejuvenated appearance. Various types of crystals have been found to be beneficial for deep relaxation, improved muscle tone, increased self-esteem and skin purification.

This treatment includes hot towels, cleansing, toning & exfoliation of the face before applying a light application of facial oil, starting with facial reflexology then moving onto the crystal facial massage. Finishing with hydrating essence, eye gel, serum & moisturising cream. I use Neal’s Yard Remedies products which are all natural and organic.

This is a 45 minute treatment.

What is Reflexology Lymph Drainage?

RLD is an award-winning reflexology technique. It was devised by reflexologist, Sally Kay, primarily to treat secondary lymphoedema, as an alternative to  manual lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) which is a much longer and intrusive treatment, Sally achieved remarkable results with the treatment and found that it was not only beneficial for the effects of lymphoedema, but for lots of other conditions too.

Not just for Lymphoedema

Many people have reported positive results for auto-immune and inflammatory conditions, Chronic Fatigue and ME, to name but a few.

Unlike traditional reflexology, RLD concentrates mainly on the lymphatic system which presents primarily on the top of the feet, and the treatment follows a precise set of moves. As with more traditional reflexology, it is also deeply relaxing. It is also a gentle technique and generally light in touch which makes it suitable for most people. In fact, it has very few contra-indications.  Even if the feet are compromised and unable to be worked on, the treatment  can be given on the client’s hands instead.

RLD can also be combined with traditional reflexology and I often use the techniques within my everyday reflexology treatments.

I offer crystal reflexology this is a combination of hand and use of crystals on the reflex points, crystals intuitively picked by myself for your medical needs or general healing.

AromaReflex combines the power of essential oils and reflexology. Together you will receive a full reflexology treatment enhanced with the benefits of a blend of Neal’s Yard organic essential oils, chosen just for you and used on the skin throughout the treatment.

It is an extremely relaxing and nurturing experience.

The AromaReflex treatment is longer than a regular reflexology session as it incorporates advanced massage techniques and a relaxing lower leg massage.
