This is a very intense, stimulating treatment which affects the body chemically, physically and spiritually.
Reflexology
Reflexology works on the principal that there are energy zones running throughout the body, which are mirrored in the feet and hands. A reflexology treatment is aimed at keeping these energy zones free flowing. This is achieved by stimulating reflex points on the feet, which correspond to the bodies entire anatomy. This treatment can benefit conditions such as hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, or any condition related to stress. A course of treatments is recommended.
