reflexology

Julie has been qualified as a reflexologist since 1991 after training with the Bayly School of Reflexology.

Reflexology has it's roots in ancient medicine sysems of China, America and ancient Egypt.

It is a balancing treatment involving positive thumb (and finger) pressure on the soles of the feet.The hands may also be worked on instead but the feet are more receptive generally.

As an acupuncturist and 'energy practitioner' there are many correlations between reflexology and acupuncture theories i.e there are 12 different channels, 6 connecting the feet and 6 the arms with 'links' between the 2. This means that by working on the feet all the body energy system is engaged during the session.

Julie uses her knowledge of both chinese medicine and reflexology to gain an understanding of the imbalances of the client and will make lifestyle suggestions where helpful.

The treatment takes approx 20 mins on each foot and lasts up to an hour in all. The first consultation takes longer (1¼ hrs) as presenting symptoms, medical history etc are taken.

Treatment cost is £50.00 per session.

The decision between receiving reflexology or acupuncture is a choice usually made by the client. Julie will guide you if there is a question about the best treatment for you.
