Reflexology

Reflexology is based on the theory that there are zones on the feet, hands or face that are believed to represent all the organs and parts/systems of the body. This practice involves the Reflexologist working with their fingers or thumbs to apply an appropriate pressure to each zone and this is thought to assist the body to return to a natural state of balance. After a session of Reflexology you may notice that you feel more relaxed, that body tension eases and you experience improved sleep, better mood and a sense of general improved wellbeing.

Reflexology

THE BEGINNING

Because reflexology is an ancient practice, its origin and history is difficult to track. However, reflexology is thought to have been passed down through an oral tradition, and possibly first recorded as a pictograph on the Egyptian tomb of Ankhamor in 2330 BC along with other medical procedures. It wasn't until the 20th century that a system of reflexology was developed in the West. The work of Dr William Fitzgerald and in 1930's Eunice Ingham developed the first mapping and foot charts and modern reflexology as we know it was born.

WHY CHOOSE REFLEXOLOGY WITH GRACE?

The way I work with Reflexology can be described as 'intuitive'. This means that through being able to connect and work with you to interpret the signs and symptoms your body is expressing, I am able to guide you towards a greater awareness and understanding of yourself, including how to continue to support yourself on the journey to experiencing better general health, happiness and wellbeing. Alongside the Reflexology, I may also include some simple guided relaxation or visualisations to help you fully relax and get the most out of your session.
