Work-Life Balance
Reflexology is a gentle and non-invasive therapy that can help with work-life balance by reducing stress, improving relaxation, and increasing energy. Reflexology can help you to feel more in control of your health and wellbeing.
Time to prioritise your wellbeing
In today’s world, the pressures of work, money, and family responsibilities can be overwhelming. Often, our self-care, emotional wellness, and physical health take a back seat, leading to unhelpful habits and medical issues. Taking a little time out of the daily grind to attend to your health and emotional wellbeing can pay dividends in preventing illness and restoring balance to your life.
Stress relief
Reflexology can induce a state of calm and restfulness, and can be used to relieve stress and tension.
Improved wellbeing
As your body relaxes and tension drifts away, your energy balance can be restored. Many clients leave a reflexology treatment feeling energised and empowered.
Guidance for at-home use
Reflexology sessions can include guidance on how to use reflexology techniques at home between sessions, especially on the hands. Learn discreet and easy ways to manage workplace stress or anxiety by applying pressure to specific points.
Time for you
Recline in my comfortable chair, relax, and allow yourself to be fully in the moment, as I apply gentle pressure to points on your feet or hands. A 30 or 60 minute reflexology appointment can feel like an oasis of calm and self-care, and is a wonderful way to set your intention to prioritise your own wellbeing within your work-life balance.
Reflexology for hypertension
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, means the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high. The heart must therefore work harder to pump blood. This puts a strain on the heart, and can cause blood clots which raises the risk of a stroke or heart attack.
Hypertension can have many causes, including:
- Poor diet
- Physical inactivity
- Smoking
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Not getting enough sleep
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Obesity
- Metabolic syndrome
- Family history
- Being over 65 years old
- Air pollution
- Stress
- Substances such as cocaine or methamphetamine
Reflexology reduces blood pressure
Reflexology is an evidence-based complimentary therapy for hypertension. Research has shown that foot reflexology significantly reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertension patients.
Non-invasive
Reflexology is a non-invasive therapy that can be performed quickly and safely.
Relaxation
Stress and anxiety are common factors contributing to raised blood pressure. Reflexology can induce relaxation which supports blood flow in areas associated with the nerve points of the foot.
Effective for related conditions
Reflexology can also help with anxiety management, and reduces the heart rate by inducing a state of deep relaxation.
