What is Reflexology?

Healing

Dating back to Ancient Egyptian Times, Reflexology is a healing science which is used extensively to heal many of todays modern ailments. Reflexology works on the premise that the systems of the body are reflected or 'mirrored' on the soles of the feet - from the smallest cell to the largest organ.

Stimulating

The Reflexologist will apply pressure to minute points on your feet, to create a stimulating effect throughout your entire body. The stimulation positively affects physical, mental and emotional ailments. It works on a similar principle to acupuncture, but without needles.

Research has shown that babies who are massaged are more alert, gain weight faster and sleep more soundly, while reflexology promotes relaxation and can help relieve discomforts such as colic

As a qualified Reflexology practitioner, my aim is to encourage parents to learn some very simple techniques to help their babies when they are upset. Often colic can be a problem with infants, it often occurs from late afternoon and can last well into the evening, leaving both parents and infant tired and distressed.

My easy step-by-step guide will show you how you can make calming and loving touch a part of your baby’s routine from birth. Reflexology and foot massage help to relieve common ailments like colic, teething and earache, plus it’s a wonderful ‘bonding’ tool for parent and child. Amazingly, babies respond more quickly to the effects of foot reflexology because their feet are so sensitive and any blocks in their energy flow can be removed easily and balance restored quickly. Babies are much more able to accept support because they have no expectations or pre-conceived ideas.

A few minutes daily applying foot reflexology, maybe just before a nap or after baby’s evening bath will help to soothe and relax them
