Reflexology


Nothing relaxes me faster than having my feet rubbed, and as stress is linked to so many ailments, what could be better than a reflexology session (with a qualified therapist!) to calm the nervous system and send the message to the body to relax?! I've been having treatments with the very talented therapist - Janicke Michel - an hour of pure, healing, bliss!



Reflexology is an holistic therapy that has been around in different forms since ancient Egyptian times and works by stimulating reflexes on the feet. This therapy works on the  premise that all parts of the mind and body are connected and that the entire body can be mapped on the feet, so by working on the feet it is possible to work on every part of the body.  



Aside from being a wonderfully relaxing experience(i fall asleep every time!), Reflexology has also been found to be helpful in promoting balance, improving circulation and can assist in the body's own healing process - to my mind, that's a pretty perfect pampering treatment!

  1. If you ever need someone to go try out anything for you, I'm putting myself forward for the task...sounds like a tough job but I think I could handle something like this! haha
