The Healing Touch: A Reflexologist’s Guide to Relaxation and Balance. An Interview with our reflexologist Helle Thorsen
Q: What exactly is reflexology?
A: Reflexology is a holistic therapy that involves applying gentle pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. These reflex points correspond to different areas of the body. By stimulating these points, reflexology aims to promote relaxation and overall well-being, helping to restore balance naturally.
Q: What benefits can someone expect from reflexology?
A: Reflexology is ideal for those looking to relax, reduce stress, and improve their overall well-being. While it's not a medical treatment, many clients find it helpful for managing tension, improving circulation, and feeling more balanced. It’s a wonderful option for anyone looking to unwind or take a moment for self-care.
Q: How is reflexology different from a regular foot massage?
A: Reflexology targets specific reflex points on the feet and hands that correspond to various systems in the body, aiming to restore balance and promote relaxation. Unlike a typical foot massage, which focuses on relieving muscle tension, reflexology takes a more holistic approach to support general health and wellness.
Q: What can someone expect during their first session?
A: During your first session, we’ll have a brief consultation to discuss your health and wellness goals. The treatment itself lasts around 45 minutes, where I apply pressure to specific reflex points. Most people find it deeply relaxing, leaving them feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Q: How can reflexology fit into someone’s wellness routine?
A: Reflexology is a great complement to your regular self-care routine. Whether you're looking for ongoing stress relief or a way to relax after a busy week, it’s a fantastic way to support your general well-being. I often recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions to experience the best results.
Q: What’s the best way to get started?
A: Simply get in touch to book your first session! Reflexology is suitable for most people, and I’ll ensure the treatment is tailored to meet your individual needs. It’s a wonderful way to prioritise your well-being and experience some much-needed relaxation.
