Reflexology

Description

Reflexology uses the stimulation of reflex points on the soles of the feet to release toxins and energy blockages within the body. It can prove to be exceptionally accurate in pinpointing any problem areas and is a deeply relaxing treatment for the whole body, not just the feet. Reflexology can help with a whole host of issues and has been scientifically proven to aid fertility issues. It is also wonderfully effective throughout pregnancy.
