Holistic therapy ~ The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Holistic therapy takes in to account your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves. The aim of Reflexology and Reiki are to promote well-being and to address the underlying root imbalances which may be causing the symptoms, rather than focusing on the symptoms themselves.
Reflexology
Reflexology involves massage of the feet or hands with a focus on applying pressure to specific points or 'reflexes'. The theory of reflexology is that the hands and feet contain reflexes which relate to the organs, glands and systems of the body. Specific massage of these reflexes works to clear energetic blocks and encourages the body to heal itself.
Reiki
Reiki is a form of hands-on healing which works to bring balance and harmony to your mind, body and spirit. Treatments involve placing hands on your clothed body to enable the 'life force' energy to flow, promoting relaxation and healing.
FAQs
How will I feel during and after a treatment?
You will likely enter a deep state of relaxation during the treatment and may even fall asleep. It is normal to feel warmth, tingling or other similar sensations and some people even see colours behind closed eyes. After treatments, people often report that they feel relaxed or energised.
Benefits include reduction in stress, elimination of toxins, more energy and a feeling of well-being. It is advised you drink lots of water afterwards to help the healing and detoxification process. Your body knows what it needs so listen to it - rest, hydrate and nourish yourself.

History of Reflexology
Reflexology has been practiced for thousands of years with its roots in Ancient Egypt, India and China. A wall painting found in an Egyptian tomb suggests that the art of Reflexology was being used as long ago as 2350BC and has been developed through acupuncture and neurological studies in the 19th and 20th centuries. In the early 1900 Dr Fitzgerald developed zone therapy as he learned that the feet and hands contains reflexes which correspond to other parts of the body. Eunice Ingham was the founder of reflexology as we know it today and it is now a popular treatment throughout the world.
History of Reiki
The Reiki we know today was originated in Japan by Dr Mikao Usui. Dr.Usui taught and studied various forms of spiritual and healing arts and provided a place for people to receive healing for free or a token sum. It is said that he experienced a vision of the Reiki symbols on the top of Mount Kurama after a 21 day fast and meditation. After Usui died, his practice was taken up by one of his students, Dr. Hayashi and developed by Mrs. Takata who personally benefitted from the treatments.
