White CherrY Therapy

What is Reflexology? Reflexology is a non invasive complementary therapy that involves

application of pressure on specific points on the hands or feet using

a finger and thumb technique, encouraging the body to heal from

within.

Reflexology is based on the principle that the hands and feet contain mini maps of the body and by applying pressure to certain points

can have an effect on the corresponding body part. The aim of

reflexology is to release any blockages and restore the free flow of

energy and blood circulation to the whole body. Reflexology is so

much more than a simple foot rub or hand massage - it is a powerful therapy which has been shown to have a very positive effect on

health and wellbeing.

What to expect The first treatment will involve a twenty minute consultation. It is

important for me to understand your lifestyle, reasons for wanting

reflexology, any medical conditions, illnesses or concerns you may have so I know what areas to work on, ensuring

you get the most out of each treatment. I will then ask you to remove your shoes and/or socks and lay back and

relax on the therapy couch ensuring that you feel safe and comfortable. I will then cleanse the feet in warm,

soothing foot bath using a natural, antibacterial foot scrub. I will then observe the feet. Please do not feel

embarrassed or worried with any hard skin, verrucas, corns and such like, this is not a problem at all. I will then begin the treatment, starting with a gentle warm up of both feet, using a little bit of talcum powder to

enable my fingers and thumbs to move over each reflex point smoothly. I will work one foot at a time covering the

whole of each foot and then revisiting areas that need more attention, depending on what has been discussed

during the consultation. I use a firm and controlled pressure which is neither painful nor ticklish. I usually play soothing music and have many types to suit many different people but can, and have played music

my clients have brought in themselves. My aim is to make you feel as comfortable, safe and as relaxed as possible,

that way your body has the best chance of healing itself. All information recorded will be treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act and will remain totally
