Reflexology

Reflexology — A grounding & relaxing ancient practice that involves applied pressure to specific parts of the feet or hands to stimulate a healing response throughout the body. “Reflex” in the word reflexology refers to the idea that putting pressure on a specific part of the foot or hand creates a response in another corresponding area of the body. There is a point on the foot for every part, gland, and organ in the body as well as over 1,200 nerve endings!  Reflexology combines massage and point pressure to aid the body to balance, heal, and induce a deep state of relaxation or a parasympathetic nervous system state. 

Through reflexology, Shelli can often find areas of stagnation; places where the body may be out of balance. Stimulating these areas can move the stagnation and promote healing before illness occurs, making reflexology a great preventative therapy as well. Reflexology is a gentle yet effective ancient healing modality that complements any other holistic or medical treatments and is safe and supports healing for anyone from newborns to the elderly, no matter the state of your health. 

Chronic pain or chronic health conditions can greatly benefit from regular reflexology as it addresses the root cause while also helping to alleviate day-to-day symptoms.

What To Expect In A Foot Reflexology Session With Shelli

Your reflexology session is carefully thought out with your stress relief and relaxation in mind. Details you might notice are low lighting, relaxing music in the background, plants and art around the room, relaxing smells, and a safe, non judgemental space facilitated by Shelli. We will start with a brief chat to discuss what you are experiencing and any issues you would like to address. Then you will get onto a massage table with lots of cushions to prop your head up and support your back and knees. Blankets are also on the bed. Once you are comfortable and settled, Shelli will clean your feet with a witch hazel solution and then use almond oil to massage both feet up to the middle of the calves. After a relaxation massage, Shelli will work on one foot at a time with firm pressure to access all the precise points on your feet to stimulate a healing response in different tissues, organs, glands, and systems in your body. Feel free to chat with Shelli, take a nap with a silk eye mask on, or just enjoy the relaxing room around you. After your reflexology session is complete, Shelli will gently wipe the excess oil off your feet and let you know suggestions for making the most of your session in the next 24 hours as well as any recommendations for future sessions or things to do at home. Make sure to drink lots of water afterwards!
