Reflexology

What is Reflexology ?

Reflexology is based on the principle that the body can be divided into ten vertical zones, each corresponding to an area of the foot, so that the feet are in effect a map of the body. On each foot and hand are found areas known as reflex points corresponding to each gland and structure in the body. A sensitive area of the foot indicates a problem in a corresponding organ of the body and, by working on the appropriate trouble spot the problem can be helped.

Reflexology can be an effective way of relieving pain and helping to restore the body's natural balance and well-being. Treatment is based on the gentle massage of the feet and the specific areas related to parts of the body. Reflexology can offer health benefits of reducing stress, improving circulation, cleansing the body of toxins and the revitalisation of energy levels.

Reiki

What is Reiki ?

Reiki is a method of healing that originated with Mikao Usui in Japan in the early part of the 20th century. The word Reiki means universal life energy in Japanese.

A Reiki practitioner uses this energy to encourage the body to heal itself. Reiki is not part of a specific belief system and anyone can use it.

There are different levels of Reiki practitioners:
* Level one is for people who have learnt Reiki so that they can treat themselves, or use Reiki
_ informally with their friends and family.
* Level two is practitioner level: people study to a higher level and are able to give Reiki treatments
_ to patients.
* The third level is Reiki master or teacher.
_ This level is sometimes split in two: master practitioner level and master teacher level.

What is Reiki commonly used for ?

Reiki is used for a wide range of physical, mental and emotional conditions, including the relief of stress and tension. It can also be used to help people change their perception of negative situations.

What will happen when I see a Reiki practitioner ?

Reiki takes place in a peaceful and relaxing environment.
You will be asked to sit, or lie on a couch and the practitioner will take your medical history. Apart from your coat and shoes, it is not necessary to take off any clothes. The practitioner will then gently place his hands on or over your body. Treatments can last for up to 1.5 hours.

You may feel a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness or nothing at all.
The course of Reiki treatment will vary in length according to your condition.
Your practitioner should discuss your treatment plan with you and review it as necessary.

Precautions:

It is advisable to rest after a Reiki treatment and drink lots of water. You should tell your practitioner if you are having any other complementary or conventional medical treatments.

Charges:

It is usually recommended that you have a course of 4 sessions at weekly intervals then carry on after that as best suits you.

Some clients find that they need up to 6 sessions at the start to find the balance that their body needs. We will discuss this when you visit for the first time.'
