Reflexology
Reflexology Benefits
Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive therapy that applies pressure to specific reflex points on the feet, hands, or ears, which correspond to different systems, organs and glands of the body. This process promotes relaxation, reduces stress, improves circulation and lymphatic flow, and helps restore balance to the body’s systems, supporting overall well-being and healing.
-
Reduces stress: Promotes deep relaxation and calms the nervous system.
-
Improves circulation and lymphatic flow: Enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to cells, and assists with clearing and decongesting the lymphatic system.

What is Reflexology?
We are energetic beings. Universal life energy flows through and around us, and since ancient times healers have used various methods to strengthen and balance energy flow. Reflexologists specify that there are 10 energy zones or meridians, that run the length of the body. By stimulating these zones, reflexology releases vital energy blockages to revitalize and balance the physical and energetic body.
Good health depends on the balance, equilibrium and natural functioning of all body systems - something us biologists call homeostasis. Excessive stress disrupts this balance. The stress reaction, aka the "flight or fight response", is a very primitive response to a situation perceived as dangerous or threatening, where the body and emotions gear up to either fight off the attacker or run for our lives. The issue for modern humans living these days is that we're not actually having to defend our lives, but our adrenal glands don't know that. So any time we perceive stress (think job with too many looming deadlines, kids never giving you time to breathe, relationship issues, etc.), a chain of physical reactions occur to prepare us for the impending catastrophe. And instead of being able to expend this energy, instead we bottle it up and repress it. Eventually, the stress buildup explodes internally and knocks some part of our system out of balance.
