I offer professional reflexology treatments from my practice to the Maldon and Essex area. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, the body can be in a state of "imbalance" and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology may be used to help maintain the body's natural state of wellbeing.
It is a gentle therapy which encourages the body to work naturally to restore it's own healthy balance. A reflexologist uses authentic anatomical knowledge combined with the application of gentle pressure with the fingers and thumbs over the complex nerve ending network of human feet. I am a professionally qualified and insured member of the Association of Reflexologists.

The most concrete evidence of the practice of reflexology in ancient culture was the discovery of the above wall painting depicting the practice of hand and foot reflexology in the tomb of Ankhmahor (highest official after the Pharaoh) at Saqqara, which is also known as the physicians tomb.
This Egyptian wall painting is dated at the 6th dynasty, about 2330 B.C. Prior to this discovery it was widely believed that reflexology had ancient origins and frequent conjecture was made about it's relationship to and development alongside the ancient Oriental practices of shiatsu and acupuncture.Similarly, North American Indian medicine men are believed to manipulate and stimulate the feet as a part of their healing practice.

Reflexology is suitable for all ages and may bring relief for a wide spectrum of conditions. After having completed a course of reflexology treatments for a specific condition, many people find it beneficial to continue treatment to maintain health and well-being. Stress becomes a problem when we struggle to manage it well and when this happens the body's defences break down and we become prone to illness and disease.
If you have never experienced reflexology before, you may be a little nervous prior to attending your first appointment. Please don't worry! It's a very relaxing experience and I'm more than happy to answer any questions that you may have. The only clothing required to be removed for reflexology is socks or tights and your shoes.
Indian Head Massage works on a physical and mental level. The release of tension from vulnerable areas such as the head, face, shoulders and neck, in turn unlocks trapped energy from the muscles. Blood flow is therefore increased resulting in the energising of the rest of the body. This energy release has a beneficial effect on our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
