Reflexology improves relaxation, sleep, general wellness, and specific ailments through specific, intentional techniques on areas being treated. Our Reflexologist is trained in reflexology techniques for relaxation, lymphatic drainage, fertility & maternity, and specific ailments. Prepare by wearing pants that can be rolled up to the knee comfortably. Payments by e-transfer or cash. Includes taxes. What to expect: When you arrive for your appointment you will be asked to sit in a chair, remove your socks/shoes and roll up your pants for a foot soak and offered an herbal tea of the day. The foot soak allows you to relax about any insecurities you may have about your feet being dirty and prepares them for the appointment. The warm water, Epsom salts, and herbs also support relaxation and increase blood circulation to your lower limbs, as well as soften the tissues so that you can get the most effective treatment in the time we have together. During your foot soak I will review what to expect, discuss your goals for the appointment, and give you the opportunity to ask questions and make an informed decision whether to continue onto the table for the session. Once on the table you will be offered a facepillow for your eyes (optional) and we will adjust the temperature, blankets, and pillows to your comfort. I will work an equal amount of time on each foot. The session covered below the kness, including the calf, to allow movement of fluids to the lymph nodes found behind the knee. It is recommended to wear pants that can be comfortably rolled up to/just past the knee. You can choose to remove tight-fitting pants if you are comfortable with it and will be given privacy and sheets to cover yourself for the appointment. There may be times the pressure causes tenderness, I will frequently check in with you to ensure the pressure is not too much. It is not recommended to "breath through" the pain, it is best if you are not guarding, tensing, or holding your breath. Please do tell me when it is uncomfortable, and I will adjust the pressure or modify the technique. You have the right to stop the appointment at any time. At the end of the session I will leave the room to wash my hands giving you time to slowly come back to sitting to get ready to go.
