Frequently Asked Questions About Reflexology

What is reflexology and how does it work?

Reflexology is a gentle complementary therapy that works on the principle that different points on the feet correspond to different areas of the body. By applying pressure to these reflex points, reflexology can help encourage balance, relaxation, and improved wellbeing.

How many sessions will I need?

Everyone is different. Some people feel the benefits after just one session, while others may need regular treatments over a number of weeks to achieve the best results. We can create a plan that suits your individual needs.

What can I expect during a reflexology session?

Your session will begin with a short consultation. You’ll then relax in a reclining chair or couch while I work on your feet using gentle pressure techniques. Many clients find the treatment deeply relaxing and often drift into a restful state.

Is reflexology safe during pregnancy?

Yes, reflexology is considered safe throughout pregnancy when carried out by a trained professional. It can support relaxation, improve sleep, and help ease common pregnancy discomforts.

Does reflexology hurt?

Reflexology should not be painful. Some reflex points may feel tender if your body is out of balance, but the pressure is always adjusted to remain comfortable.

Are there any side effects?

Most people feel calm and refreshed after a session. Occasionally, clients may feel a little tired or notice temporary changes such as increased urination or emotional release as the body rebalances.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Comfortable clothing is best but please avoid tight jeans or leggings as I will need to work around and above your ankles. You’ll need to remove your shoes and socks for the treatment.
