Welcome to
Rachel's Reflexology Clinic
I'm an AOR qualified reflexologist and Member of the Association of Reflexologists.
I invite you to step away from your everyday life, into a space where you can relax and unwind, enjoying a vital hour of ‘me time’.
My genuine interest in improving your wellbeing and vitality will ensure you go away feeling relaxed and revived.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a holistic complementary therapy based on the principle that there are reflex points in the feet and hands, which relate to every organ and system in the body. Pressure of these points can lead to various benefits:
Releases stress and tension
Increases wellbeing
Improves sleep
Induces deep relaxation
Medical research estimates that as much as 90% of illness and disease is stress related. Reflexology counteracts the negative effects of the stress response on the body, allowing it to recuperate.
As our body relaxes during a Reflexology treatment, it comes into rest mode and can then repair. As treatments continue, this relaxation deepens and becomes more established.
Activates the body’s own healing ability
The body responds to any disturbance by adjusting its internal processes to meet the challenge and eventually returning to its natural state of balance (homeostasis). Reflexology helps this process.
Improves mood
Reflexology helps reconnect and restore the balance between our mind, body and emotions and to maintains those connections at optimal levels.
“We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis” which has profound consequences on our health & life, now and for the long term. Sleep benefits our minds and bodies in many ways and is the single most effective thing we can do to reset each day.
“A state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” WHO. Reflexology treats the whole of the client, physical, mental, emotional & spiritual.
Stressed?
Stress is our body's natural response to a perceived threat, often referred to as our fight or flight response. It used to be more of a quick reaction and response event, after which our bodies would return to rest mode. However, these days we are constantly exposed to stimuli that put our bodies into stress mode, making it more of a permanent state of being. Our bodies have less time in rest mode, leading to 'dis-ease' in the body, which can show up in multiple forms.
The Epidemic
The WHO declared stress the epidemic of the 21st century. 89% of the Indian population say they suffer from stress*
