Reflexology
Reflexology involves targeted pressure on foot reflexes connected to body systems. This holistic treatment promotes relaxation and may improve circulation, reduce stress, and support natural healing processes. Suitable for all ages, it addresses various health concerns including stress, digestive issues, and musculoskeletal pain while enhancing overall wellbeing through non-invasive techniques.
Ear Candling
Ear candling uses specially designed candles to gently warm and decongest ear passages. This ancient therapy may alleviate sinus pressure, reduce excess ear wax, and promote lymphatic drainage. The treatment includes facial massage and is particularly beneficial for those with recurring ear infections or congestion, providing deep relaxation alongside physical benefits.
Metamorphic Technique
Metamorphic technique applies light touch to spinal reflexes on feet and head to release emotional blockages. This subtle therapy addresses phobias, stress patterns, and recurring physical issues by working with the body's energy systems. It supports personal growth and emotional healing without physical manipulation, suitable for all ages.
Reiki
Reiki channels universal energy through light touch to promote natural healing processes. This non-invasive treatment reduces stress, alleviates pain, and supports emotional balance by restoring energy flow. Suitable for all ages, it addresses physical discomforts while promoting spiritual wellbeing through gentle, holistic energy work.
Fertility Reflexology
Fertility reflexology targets specific foot reflexes to support reproductive health and hormonal balance. This specialised treatment complements medical fertility procedures by reducing stress and improving circulation to reproductive organs. With tailored protocols for different treatment phases, it offers holistic support for couples trying to conceive.

Questions
What conditions can reflexology help with?
Reflexology may help manage stress, digestive issues, musculoskeletal pain, and women's health concerns. It supports natural healing processes and promotes overall wellbeing through targeted foot reflex stimulation.
Is ear candling safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained practitioner using Biosun Hopi candles. The treatment follows modern safety standards and includes careful monitoring throughout the procedure to ensure client comfort and safety.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No referral is required. However, if you have undiagnosed symptoms or medical concerns, we recommend consulting your GP before treatment to ensure appropriate care coordination.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by individual needs. Some clients benefit from single sessions while others require regular treatments. We'll discuss your specific situation during the initial consultation to create an appropriate plan.
Can treatments be claimed on insurance?
Many health insurers cover reflexology treatments. We can provide receipts for submission to your insurance provider. Please check your policy details for specific complementary therapy coverage information.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing that allows easy access to feet and ears. Most treatments require only removal of shoes and socks, with appropriate draping maintained throughout sessions for client comfort.
