REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is complementary modality that supports the body's own natural healing abilities. Our body has everything it needs to heal itself but when there is an imbalance there is intervention required to support in returning to balance or homeostasis. Reflexology uses pressure points on the feet that correlate with different areas of the body. When these pressure points are manipulated they engage the area of the brain associated with the corresponding organs and stimulate your body's natural processes of healing. This activation can release tension, increase or balance productions of bodily fluids such as hormones, relieve pain, and more. It is a safe, non-invasive modality for all ages.
