What to expect from the session?

You will be asked some various questions to prioritise around what you are wanting to achieve from this therapy during your consultation, it will then be followed by a visual assessment to the tummy area and feet to indicate any contraindications. I will carefully select the essential oils suitable to apply on your tummy, deliver the massage and then your therapist will cleanse your feet using a lemongrass scrub to the feet, and ankles mixed with warm water. Mitt off the applied scrub and remove any excess dirt or bacteria. The laying position will be slightly raised at the head end of the couch, and extra pillows will be placed under the knee, and at the back of the neck for support and comfort. Your therapist will insert a bolster at the back of your ankle to raise the feet slightly to allow a good circulation flow. Followed by the Reflexology, corresponding to your systems and organs.

After care:- 

After or during your treatment, you may feel emotions running high, this is because the adrenal system is stimulated and works to help release any unwanted feelings as you are processing the detoxification/healing. 

You may also experience a healing crisis. A healing crisis can occur immediately and within several days, or even a few weeks later. Some people feel flu like complaints during the first few days of the cleanse because your body is dumping toxins into the blood stream for elimination. The ill-affects usually pass within 1-3 days. On rare occasions, they may last some weeks, and this can be normal as you then begin to feel your best soon after.

It’s important that you follow the advice from your therapist and drink plenty of water to replenish hydration after your treatment.
