Question 1

Am I suitable for treatment?

Accepted Answer

Reflexology isn't suitable for everyone. Before an appointment is confirmed, a completed consultation form is required to ensure the treatment is safe for you.

Question 2

What can I expect at my appointment?

Accepted Answer

My priority is for you to relax during the treatment. Some clients prefer to lie down and use an eye mask (disposable ones are available, or you are welcome to bring your own). You are welcome to listen to music, a podcast, or an audiobook on your phone, or have the TV on if preferred. I can also play relaxing music on my phone. We can discuss your preferences when you book.

Question 3

How will I feel afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Many people feel deeply relaxed, while others feel energised. It can provide an emotional release, so you may feel a need to cry. As the body rebalances, it is normal to feel tired, lightheaded, or experience a mild headache and slight nausea. These are very short-lived side effects.

Question 4

What should I do after treatment?

Accepted Answer

Hydration is essential! Please sip water before and after your treatment. Aim to be restful for the remainder of the day, and avoid strenuous exercise or stimulants like caffeine.

Question 5

How long is the treatment?

Accepted Answer

The session lasts approximately 60 minutes.

Question 6

What does the treatment involve?

Accepted Answer

Your feet will be cleansed and sanitised. The treatment begins with a gentle warm-up and ends with a warm-down massage.

Question 7

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your feet, ankles, and lower legs.

Question 8

What does the therapist feel during Reflexology?

Accepted Answer

It is common to feel "crunchy" areas on the feet. Historically, these were thought to be a build-up of lactic and uric acid. However, recent studies suggest these may be areas of tangled nervous tissue.

Question 9

Can you detect or heal health issues?

Accepted Answer

While it is believed that "crunchy areas" may highlight congestion in the body, reflexology cannot replace the expertise of medical professionals. It is a complementary therapy and is not used to detect or heal health issues. Its purpose is to promote well-being and support the body’s natural healing and detoxification processes.

Question 10

How often should I have reflexology?

Accepted Answer

It can be weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or quarterly. It really depends on how you feel and if you find it beneficial.

Question 11

How much is the treatment per session?

Accepted Answer

The price is £45, and payment can be made by card or cash. (I prefer card payments, but either is fine).

Question 12

What if I book and then change my mind?

Accepted Answer

That is fine. All I ask is that you let me know as soon as possible. This allows the appointment to be made available for others.
