The history of reflexology spans over 5000 years. A holistic therapy that works with the body's innate healing ability to restore balance and harmony. It is a vitalistic energy that revitalizes the whole body.


How does it work?

Reflexology is based on the discovery that organs system and structures within the entire body have a corresponding reflex point on the hands and feet. The feet are by far the most sensitive with over 7000 nerve endings in each foot.

Specific finger and thumb techniques are applied to the reflex points on the feet to both detect and treat energy imbalances throughout the body. The aim is to stimulate the body's natural healing response and restore it to a state of homeostasis.

Some of the benefits


Reflexology stimulates the circulatory systems improving the blood flow and supply of oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body.
Strengthens the immune system and the elimination of toxins and waste. Tones the muscular system and improves the condition of the skin.

Opens the neural pathways allowing vital life force energy to flow freely around the body and improve nerve conductivity. Induces a state of relaxation and counteracts the negative effects of stress.

Reflexology treats the whole person and not just the symptoms of disease. It helps to integrate the mind body and emotions restoring balance and harmony to our whole being.
