Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic method of improving health by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. This controlled pressure alleviates the source of the discomfort. In the absence of any particular illness or abnormality, reflexology may be as effective for promoting good health and for preventing illness as it may be for relieving symptoms of stress, injury, and illness.
Reflexologists work from maps of predefined pressure points that are located on the hands and feet. These pressure points are reputed to connect directly through the nervous system and affect the bodily organs and glands. The reflexologist manipulates the pressure points according to specific techniques of reflexology therapy. By means of this touching therapy, any part of the body that is the source of pain, illness, or potential debility can be strengthened through the application of pressure at the respective foot or hand location.
I offer various forms of Reflexology practice, including: Classic Foot and Hand Reflexology, Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT), Nerve Reflexology and Maternity Reflexology.
Nutritional Therapy
The foods that we consume play more of a role in our health than perhaps anything else. The saying, “you are what you eat”, is very true and good nutrition leads to a healthy body and a sound mind.
Nutrition is the science that establishes the relationship between a person’s diet and their levels of health. As a fully qualified nutritional therapist I can advise you on dietary and nutrition matters relating to your health. Following a good diet can have an incredible effect on your quality of life and hence Nutrition is one of the most important things to consider in your life.
After all it is not the number of years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.
Within this therapy I offer the following: Nutritional Therapy, Dietary Advice, Iridology, Detoxification Programmes, Healthy Eating Workshops, and Individual Coaching .
