Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural, holistic therapy based on the assumption that reflex points on the your feet and hands correspond to organs, systems and structures within your body.

Stimulating the reflexes of the feet is as ancient as touch itself and can affect your whole body. It is based on the principle that your feet represent and affect the whole body.

This was pioneered by Eunice Ingham, an American physiotherapist and nurse, who published her book in 1938. By pressing points in the feet (on hundreds of people) she triggered the body's own self healing power.

Touching Well Reflexology utilises this ancient system, working the reflexes effectively and powerfully by using the No Hands massage approach.

“Being pregnant I had the desire to feel relaxed and energised; this was the most prominent feature!! Within minutes of treatment I felt more rested than perhaps a whole night of sleep. The treatment also allowed me a greater connection between the baby and his/her movements, due to my relaxed state and being in silent awareness. So all in all a wonderful experience to regain the beauty of being pregnant and to allow the body to enjoy this beautiful transformation.”
Arti, Ayuvedic doctor and yoga teacher

“The sessions have always been a wonderful start to the day during what has been a very busy time for me. There have occasionally been surprising moments where I have felt a kind of refreshing rush of blood to the head or a sudden releasing of my stomach, etc. My ankles no longer click and I feel more solid on the ground.”
Matt, composer

“After each session I have felt invigorated, relaxed and stress free. I would recommend the reflexology to anyone who likes to feel like the above. It's certainly helped my golf, too! No aching feet! Thank you.”
Tom, ex police man and keen golf player
