Reflexology

“The natural healing force within us is the greatest force in getting well.”
– Hippocrates

What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a complementary therapy that helps the body to restore balance and improve health & wellbeing. It involves applying finger or thumb techniques of varying pressure to specific points on the feet or hands called reflexes. These reflexes represent our organs, glands, systems and structures. In this way the hands and feet are ‘mini-maps’ of the body.

Reflexology aims to facilitate healing. Working the areas on the feet can help to release any blockages in the energy flow, thereby restoring normal balance or ‘homeostasis.’ By achieving a state of homeostasis, the body maintains a stable internal environment which helps it to heal and return to its balance after illness, stress or injury. Factors which the body needs to regulate in order to maintain homeostasis include temperature, pH, blood glucose levels, water and salt levels, calcium levels, blood pressure and hormonal balance.

When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.

Reflexology is a holistic therapy and is based on the idea that health is the result of harmony between the body, mind and soul. Any kind of stress, be it physical, psychological, social or environmental, can upset this and cause ‘dis-ease’. It is now widely acknowledged that most illness is stress-related.

Testimonials

I’m so grateful to have found Lisa’s reflexology treatment service during my second pregnancy. I had never attended a reflexologist before so was unsure what to expect. Lisa created a calm relaxing space each visit, which is exactly what I needed with being pregnant and having a young baby at home also.
Lisa always made me feel at ease and guided me throughout my pregnancy with some pregnancy related issues I had encountered. Lisa went over and beyond to share her wealth of knowledge with me and shared tips to do at home to further enhance my treatments. She’s warm and caring and really takes the time to listen and evaluate concerns and issues to provide the best service she can. I cannot recommend her service enough and I hope to visit her postpartum too. Thank you so much Lisa.

I went to Lisa while pregnant with my little girl. I had never tried reflexology before and had no idea the positive impact it would have! It relieved my symptoms such as swelling, gut issues and asthma and I gave birth to a healthy little baby girl! I’ll be back in the future for sure! Thanks Lisa 💓

I had a number of reflexology sessions with Lisa May and experienced the effects almost immediately, in both my physical and mental health. In addition to the sessions, Lisa offered lots of well-informed strategies that I found very useful. The sessions themselves are very relaxing and Lisa did her utmost to address the areas of health that I was experiencing problems with. I would recommend her highly.

I have regular treatments with Lisa which help immensely with inflammation and muscle aches and pains. I have been treated by a few reflexologists throughout my dancing career and Lisa is by far the best. She is highly knowledgeable and very generous in sharing tips for care after each treatment. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Lisa is excellent. She is extremely knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. Sessions are thorough and very effective. She is meticulous in her assessment and planning. I would highly recommend her. She is fabulous.

I have had several reflexology sessions with Lisa recently post covid illness over Christmas. I found the treatments helped clear my sinus congestion issues and aided my very disturbed sleep pattern. I slept so well after each session and my nasal congestion cleared very quickly. I also felt very relaxed after treatments and enjoyed this immensely. Lisa is very knowledgeable and professional in her manner at all times and I would highly recommend her as a reflexologist.

I really enjoyed my reflexology sessions with Lisa. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful – I asked loads of questions! I found the sessions very good for destressing and I slept really well afterwards. Lisa came to my house for each session but it’s great to know that I could also go to hers if I can’t get the peace and quiet in my own house. I would really recommend Lisa if you are looking for a reflexologist.
