so what is reflexology?
It is a holistic method of using feet as a map of our body and using pressure movement on all the areas that correspond to our organs, body parts and systems.
Reflexology sessions have proven to be a wonderful way to improve circulation, help body cope with stress and stimulate balance and healing where it is needed. A session lasts for about an hour and allows the practitioner to understand the physiology and mind-body connection of the client, and where healing energy may be required.
In other words, Reflexologists help clients "pull out" the healing powers of their body.
Aroma-Reflexology is a powerful way to use Essential Oils, as our feet have large pores and will absorb oils very quickly, carrying them to the organs that need the most help and balance. Individual Essential Oil blends are formulated before the session to target the physical or emotional needs of the client.
the history of reflexology
The history of Reflexology can be traced from India, to China and then to Japan more than 1000 years ago. Interesting fact - in Japan you can find Reflexology salons as often as nailcare salons in USA.
Our feet are so much more than just feet; there are 7,200 nerve endings that connect our foot reflexes to rest of the body.
There has been a misconception about what Reflexology really is. Most of us think it is only a foot massage. It surely has few things in common with massage, as we stroke and relax the feet in between special compression penetration movements.
Many of us don't stop and think about how important our feet are… they carry us all day long, take us where we need to go, restlessly press on gas/break pedals during tiring traffic jams and all they get in return is, most of the time, simply a shower.
