Reflexology involves the process of applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, or ears which correspond to different organs and systems in the body. The practice, which is rooted in Eastern philosophies, helps to restore qi (energy flow) within the entire body and brings about a sense of calm, balance and restoration to the physical and energetic self.

During a reflexology session, a trained practitioner will apply specific pressure to exact points on the feet, hands or ears. These points are aligned with organs, systems, and structures within the body, and promote a sense of relaxation and balance, as well as support the body’s ability to begin its own healing process.

These targeted pressure points, specifically on the feet, send signals via the central nervous system to corresponding organs, which can stimulate an increase in blood flow and reduce stress throughout the body. Through the practice, blockages in the body’s meridians (energy channels) can ensure that a healthy flow of qi (life force) is restored, which restores both the body’s overall subtle and physical balance.
