Reflexology is truly holistic in that it treats the entire body via the feet, face, hands, etc. Because Reflexology is holistic in its approach, it may help address the cause of your problem and not just the symptoms you are currently experiencing.

Based on the principle of stimulating nerve endings in the feet and hands (called ‘reflex points’), the aim of Reflexology is to clear any blockages, which can indicate an imbalance or build-up of toxins in the body.

What is Reflexology Lymph Drainage

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is a specific technique of working the feet or hands which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes. Its aim is to stimulate the function of the lymphatic system and drain excess lymph. The technique can be included within a conventional treatment, however, it can also be performed as a stand-alone treatment.

Reflexology

RLD was researched and developed by Sally Kay BSc (Hons) whilst working in Cancer Care, initially focusing on supporting those with Lymphoedema post treatment for breast cancer. However, it may be beneficial for many other conditions, namely:

  • Fibromyalgia
  • ME
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Sinus problems
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Eczema
  • Migraines
  • Headaches
  • Muscular tension
  • Aches and pains
  • Premenstrual Syndrome

Maternity Reflexology

Maternity Reflexology aims to optimise your health and wellbeing throughout your pregnancy, during labour and all aspects of postnatal support – helping you adjust both mentally and physically to your new arrival.

Although it may be an exciting chapter in your life, pregnancy may bring some stress and anxiety, together with pain and discomfort due to the changes your body is going through as your unborn baby develops.

Maternity Reflexology may assist with any of the following conditions you may experience during your pregnancy, including:

  • Morning sickness
  • Constipation
  • Pelvic girdle pain/SPD
  • Back pain
  • Oedema
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Calming or stimulating the endocrine system
  • Breech babies – if it’s safe for them to turn!


Additionally:

  • Stimulating your body pre-labour
  • Calming your body during labour
  • Postnatal: generally / breastfeeding / anxiety and depression

What is Vertical Reflexology

Vertical Reflexology Therapy (VRT) is an addition to traditional Reflexology and works the top of the feet or hands in a weight-bearing position, eg. standing. Working the feet and/or hands in this way provides deeper access to the reflex points, with the nerves ‘active’ rather than passive, as they would be in a traditional Reflexology session. The result of which is often quicker results as the nerves send signals to the corresponding parts of your body.

During a session, VRT can be combined with traditional Reflexology and is often performed at the start or end of a session.

What is Facial Reflexology

Facial Reflexology aims to help your entire body function at its optimal level – but has the added bonus of leaving you with a glowing complexion and younger looking skin!

This non-invasive treatment works on the theory that areas on your face are connected to areas of your body (as with hand and foot reflexology) and stimulation of these areas can improve underlying energy imbalances and increase your sense of well-being. The effectiveness of this therapy is due to the proximity of the face to the brain and is especially beneficial for relaxation. Manipulating facial reflex points helps connect to the body’s neuro-pathways, assisting to rebalance and revitalise the body and mind.

Facial Reflexology is not a beauty treatment. However, it does have lovely beautifying side-effects, quite literally ‘lifting’ the face to make your face feel and look smoother and more toned. It also encourages lymphatic drainage, stimulates the facial nerves, increases blood flow to the face, helps to build up new skin tissue and improves skin tone.

One of the prime benefits of Facial Reflexology is total relaxation. As the treatment includes deep tissue massage, Facial Reflexology can produce a natural Botox effect by relaxing facial muscles. It can tighten the skin by improving muscle tone and it can give you a healthy radiant glow.

Over a series of sessions, Facial Reflexology can help the face feel and look smoother and more toned. You may notice a reduction in lines and wrinkles and with this ‘mini face lift’, you can help build up a new layer of skin tissue and improve skin tone.

As with other forms of Reflexology, Facial Reflexology aims to stimulate the body’s healing mechanisms by encouraging the body to eliminate toxins, with the added benefit of a younger, less-stressed complexion and a healthy glow radiating from the inside out.

The treatment may help reduce the symptoms and effects of many common ailments including: stress, IBS, back pain, arthritis, depression, menstrual and hormonal ailments and sleep disorders. Facial reflexology treatments are very popular during pregnancy and are often used to help promote a shorter and natural labour.

Benefits

Reflexology involves using small, precise movements and pressure applied to specific areas of the feet and hands and, because it is holistic and works your entire body, it aims to assist in bringing your body into a state of balance and well-being. Therefore, it has the potential to assist with any condition you may currently be experiencing on some or all levels, as your body relaxes and re-balances and it may be your perfect treatment from a preventative approach.

Reflexology can assist in many areas of health and well-being and may help with conditions such as:

  • Stress and Anxiety
  • Aspects of Mental Health
  • Insomnia and sleep disorders
  • Support for the immune system
  • Headaches and Migraines
  • Sinus Congestion
  • Circulation
  • Mobility Issues
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome and digestive complaints
  • Muscle stiffness/tightness
  • Muscular-skeletal conditions – eg. frozen shoulder, back pain, etc
  • Hormonal conditions
  • Fertility issues, etc.

What our clients say…

“Had my first session last week. Was made very welcome by Lorraine. I felt very comfortable with her.

Very professional and knowledgeable. Had a good chat to start, then massage. Came out feeling very relaxed and felt some of my sadness coming out after many years trapped inside me. Really looking forward to my next session.”

Richard T

“Best massage I have experienced! Felt very tailored to my issues rather than just following a routine or pattern. Lorraine is very knowledgeable and put me straight at ease. I will return for another treatment”

Emma

“After two sessions with Lorraine, not only am I able to relax completely after the treatment, but I have not had one headache since the first treatment. The treatments are the best reflexology and massage, dedicated to my own wellbeing, that I have ever had. Once you have received the best treatment from such a kind and professional person as Lorraine, you will never go anywhere else. I am looking forward to my next treatments.”

Rose B

“I have had several different treatments with Lorraine – reflexology, massage, reiki – and I would absolutely recommend her.  Consultation is thorough and treatments first class.  I always feel relaxed and comfortable during and after treatment and the healing goes on in the following days.  Lorraine is a first-class professional who feels like a trusted friend.  Looking forward to my next treatment.”

Helen C

“I have recently had the pleasure of meeting Lorraine and having an amazing treatment at The Healing Tree.  After the initial consultation we agreed the best therapy for me would be a combination of Reiki and Reflexology.  The Reiki element was absolutely amazing and I had a truly remarkable experience, very emotional but left feeling uplifted, released and clear to continue with the stresses of life, the reflexology was an added bonus.  I would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning to try more of the many and varied therapies.  Thank you again Lorraine”

Emma T

“I went to see Lorraine for Life Coaching when I was struggling to find balance in my life.  Lorraine helped me to explore my purpose and ideas for achieving it.  She then supported me to create an action plan and to build my confidence to make some major changes to my life.  I have not looked back since and have achieved even more than I ever imagined I would.  Lorraine is calm, supportive and listens and I would recommend working with her.”

Emma P

“After yet another wonderful treatment from the lovely Lorraine at The Healing Tree, I thought it would be good to leave a positive review so that others may have the opportunity to enjoy a similar experience.  Today I had Reiki for the first time, having had massages and reflexology previously.  Not really sure how this works but I know it did and I felt fantastic afterwards and still do now!  Such a great experience, highly recommended.  Lorraine is wonderful and so are her treatments and I always feel a sense of calmness and relaxation af ter seeing her.”
