What is Reflexology?
The theory is that Reflexology works on identified "reflex" points in the feet to encourage the body's natural re-balancing ability. Reflex points refer to specific areas in the body, e.g. the neck reflex is located at the base of the big toe.
Pressure is applied to reflex points using the thumbs and fingers. Working the feet in this way can allow the easing of tension, can help to improve circulation and elimination, and rebalance and address blockages to the flow of subtle energy within the system.
The experience of reflexology is unique to each person. A majority will find the treatment immediately relaxing, whilst many will also feel uplifted and re-energised. Whilst reflexology is intended to be much more than just a relaxing foot massage, the treatment uses pleasant massage techniques to warm, soothe and loosen up the feet.
This gives way to a natural re-balancing of the body, promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.

What happens during a treatment?
At the first treatment, a full medical history and lifestyle
consultation is taken. This enables Corinne to assess any current
problems, to offer advice as to how to improve upon lifestyle choices
(where appropriate), and to prepare the most beneficial treatment
plan. You can then relax for up to 1 hour whilst Corinne works on your
feet to dissipate energy blockages and re-balance your body's
energies.
Subsequent treatments consist of a short consultation in order to
assess how you are responding to the therapy followed by up to 1 hour
of treatment.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience short term effects such as a headache, a sore
throat, nausea or emotional ups and downs. These can manifest either
directly after a treatment or a few hours later. You must NOT be
discouraged by this as these are positive signs that your body is
responding to the treatment. These short term effects are signals that
your body is starting to take control of the healing process and is
working hard to release stored and unwanted toxins. Any such symptoms
generally last for just a few hours.
Testimonials
"I have been suffering from severe stress and anxiety for several
years. This reached crisis point earlier this year and I knew I had to
somehow resolve my problems. After seeing Corinne's advertisement, I
contacted her and booked 6 initial treatments. After the 5th treatment
I was feeling more able to cope with the stresses in my life and the
6th treatment left me sleeping like a baby. I am now continuing on a
monthly maintenance program and am feeling the best I have in
years".
"After trying many different therapies and following nutritional
advice, I decided to try Reflexology to help my arthritis. At first I
was sceptical but I decided to follow Corinne's advice and have one
treatment per week for 6 weeks. By the 3rd treatment I could feel
changes occurring in my body - my chest felt freer and the pain in my
shoulders was subsiding. By the end of the 6 treatments my energy
levels had risen considerably and I was able to perform day to day
tasks that I could not have even contemplated prior to the treatments.
All in all I have found this to be the most effective of all the
therapies I have tried. Many thanks".
"I had not had a proper night's sleep during the last year and a
friend recommended Reflexology to me. Corinne was very helpful,
suggesting different methods of relaxation to me whilst performing the
Reflexology treatments. Since having regular Reflexology with Corinne,
my sleep patterns are no longer disturbed. I know when I start to feel
slightly on edge that it is time for another treatment and it always
does the trick".

During the holistic approach, the therapist considers, not only the symptoms and medical history of the client but also their lifestyle and circumstances and so tries to alleviate the root cause of the “disease”, or imbalance, thereby caring for the whole person and aiding them to heal themselves.
