Frequently Asked Questions - Reflexology

 Wear something comfy that you can relax in — loose-fitting clothes are perfect. You'll just need to remove your shoes and socks, so no need to get undressed. If you're coming from work, don’t worry — I’ve seen it all (including  pyjamas and mismatched socks). 

Your session takes place in the Zen Den, a calm, low-stimulation treatment space designed to help you settle. You do not need to arrive feeling calm, know what to say, or be “good” at relaxing. Just arrive as you are.

We’ll start with a short check-in about how you’re feeling and what you want from the session. Then you get comfortable in the reclining chair and I do the rest. Most people feel deeply relaxed, and some even drift off. 

Everyone is different. Some people feel very relaxed straight away, some feel sleepy, and some simply feel like they’ve had a good hour to themselves.

There’s no particular way you’re supposed to feel afterwards. Have some water, take it easy if you can, and carry on with your day as normal.

Yes. People often book reflexology while they’re dealing with stress, poor sleep, hormonal changes, anxiety or simply feeling run down.

Reflexology isn’t a medical treatment and I don’t diagnose or treat health conditions. The session is about relaxation, comfort and giving you some proper time to switch off.

If something you tell me sounds as though it needs medical support, I’ll always encourage you to speak to your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.

Usually not. I use steady, comfortable pressure and I’ll always check that it feels right for you. If your feet are ticklish or particularly sensitive, just tell me and I’ll adjust. 

There isn’t a set number. Some people come once, some come monthly because they enjoy it, and others book a few sessions close together when life feels particularly full-on.

There’s no pressure to commit to a course, we cant chat about what feels useful to you.

That’s completely normal. You don’t need to know anything about reflexology before you come. I’ll talk you through what happens, get you comfortable, and we’ll take it from there.

You can ask questions, chat, go quiet or change your mind about anything as we go.

Reflexology is not the same as a general foot massage, although people often search for them together.

A foot massage usually focuses on easing tension in the feet themselves. Reflexology is a focused treatment using reflex points on the feet, with steady pressure and a calm, relaxing pace.

You stay fully clothed, remove shoes and socks, and settle into a reclining chair while I work through the feet.

Many clients find it deeply relaxing, but it is a reflexology treatment rather than a massage service.  Yes, your feet are involved. No, it is not just a nice foot rub with better lighting.
