FAQs

what is reflexology?

WHAT IS REFLEXOLOGY?

Reflexology is an acupressure therapy performed on the feet. By stimulating and applying gentle pressure to certain areas on the feet, ankles and lower leg the parasympathetic nervous system is activated and a healing response is activated within the body. Treatment is deeply relaxing and grounding; a lovely way to rest and re-energise.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN MY SESSION?

Ahead of your first session I will take a detailed medical history so when we meet we can discuss any current issues you're facing, plus what you're hoping to gain from the session. Each session will then be tailored to your specific needs.

You will need to remove your socks and roll your trousers up to the knee. Reflexology uses gentle massage and specifically applied pressure to certain areas of the feet. It is deeply relaxing and many people drift off into a meditative state during their treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

This totally depends on what you're receiving treatment for.  A one off session is a lovely way to unwind and treat yourself. Monthly sessions are brilliant for managing stress and maintaining wellbeing. Weekly/fortnightly sessions are preferable if working with a specific condition as the effects of the treatment are cumulative.

For pregnancy treatments I recommend at least a monthly session throughout the majority of your pregnancy and the ideally fortnightly or even weekly from 32 weeks to help prepare the body and mind for birth.

If you're unsure then get in touch and we can discuss what will be best for you specifically.

Where do you offer treatments?

WHERE DO YOU OFFER TREATMENTS?

I offer reflexology and pregnancy reflexology at Oru Space in East Dulwich on a Tuesday afternoon/early evening. I also offer home visits in South London if you would prefer to be treated at yours. Particularly towards the end of pregnancy I find people prefer not to travel and being treated at home allows you to create a cosy nest for yourself with lots of pillows, propped up in a position that feels good for you and your babe.

can reflexology really induce labour?

CAN REFLEXOLOGY REALLY INDUCE LABOUR?

The million dollar question...! Personally I believe that coming to a session with that expectation is not super helpful... your baby will come when they are ready. That said, we know that the more relaxed and calm you are, the more the body is able to get on and do it's job ~ after all that is the premise of hypnobirthing! So any treatment that relieves stress and anxiety by activating the parasympathetic nervous system is only going to aid your body's natural processes. Plus there is no better time to treat and prioritise yourself that before your tiny little dependent arrives.
