🌿 What actually is reflexology? I get asked this a lot…
When you book reflexology, why does your therapist work particular points on your feet or face?
Reflexology follows a map of “reflex points”—areas traditionally understood to correspond with different parts of the body, including organs and body systems.
For example, a foot reflexology map includes areas associated with the spine, digestive system and head. These connections form the theory behind reflexology and guide where and how I work.
Using precise thumb and finger techniques, I apply pressure across these mapped areas, adjusting the pressure to your comfort. Foot and facial reflexology each have their own maps and techniques.
Before we begin, we talk about how you’re feeling physically and emotionally, what has brought you in, and what you’d like from your session.
The reflex map guides my hands; our conversation helps me understand the person receiving the treatment. 💚 l
