Well Being - For Life  
 
 

reflexology

Our feet are often taken for granted.  However, not only do they support our entire body through the rigours of life but they also constantly change in appearance and meaning, often signalling subtle changes occurring within both our mind and body before we are consciously aware of them.

Relexologists believe that there are reflex points on the feet and hands that correspond to every organ and function in the body.  The theory is that by treating the feet you are actually treating the whole person.  All parts of the body are connected a subtle energy which flows from the head to the feet through channels and when there is an illness or discomfort this energy can become blocked.  Working on the feet and hands can unblock these channels, allowing the energy to flow again thereby restoring balance, relaxing the body, relieving symptoms and promoting well-being.

Reflexologists believe the body heals itself from the inside out and therefore work the whole foot or hand so that they are treating the person rather than the ‘disease’.  Reflexology can also be used to promote well-being before problems occur as it gives a wonderfully natural boost to the immune system and aids relaxation and stress relief.

A treatment with Hilary generally lasts about 50 minutes.  She is able to work on both the hands and the feet dependant upon your preference and you can relax to soothing nature sounds or simply enjoy peace if you wish during the treatment.  You may be curious about the treatment itself or you may wish to drift off to sleep and you will be able to do as you wish.

As well as relief from discomfort Reflexology can also be applied to encourage the onset of labour.  Hilary has her own techniques refined by applying her extensive midwifery experience to her Reflexology practice, and she has taken referrals from all over Wiltshire.  However, although Reflexology can encourage the onset of labour regular treatments throughout pregnancy can reduce the likelihood of going over your due date.
