Reflexology uses gentle or firm pressure on precise points on the feet, ankles and hands that influence corresponding parts of the body.
A sensation can often be felt by the client as they report "that my neck became a little hot and pain was relieved" or "that a tension headache has completely gone" ... "my back and hip eased after the instep of each foot was worked". With other clients it is more of an unconscious effect but still they report feeling more positive and relaxed than when they arrived! Reflexology works wonderfully for many ailments and conditions but you don't have to be unwell to benefit from a treatment ...
Because the client is treated 'individually' Caroline doesn't just look at the symptoms that are troubling them. Lifestyle considerations will be looked at and suggestions made to help the healing process. After a full consultation, Caroline will tailor-make a session or course of treatments.
A number of clients report that they had the best night's sleep in ages... they had more energy and started cleaning out the kitchen cupboards that night because they felt so positive (yes, this really happened with three clients!).
Success can come after one session or over a course of treatments for chronic conditions.
Reflexology is one of the top three complementary therapies recommended during pregnancy: from pre- conception to when labour is due. During pregnancy helping to ease nausea, oedema, backache and general aches and pains are just a few examples.
Examples where problems can respond favourably to reflexology
Caroline enjoys treating men and women from all age groups and has a particular interest in clients with digestive, circulatory, sub-fertility and pregnancy problems.
