Reflexology
What is Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural, holistic therapy based on the principle that the entire body is mirrored in the feet, hands, and face. Every organ, gland, and part of the body corresponds to specific “reflex points” in these areas.
By applying gentle yet precise pressure with the fingers and thumbs, reflexology activates the body’s self-healing mechanisms, supports detoxification, improves circulation, and restores energetic balance. It creates a deep sense of relaxation and helps the body return to its natural state of well-being.
How Reflexology Can Help
Reflexology may support the body in the following ways:
Reducing stress and physical tension
Improving blood and lymphatic circulation
Regulating nervous system function
Relieving headaches and migraines
Supporting digestion and gut health
Enhancing fertility and pregnancy well-being
Promoting hormonal balance (e.g. PMS, menopause)
Improving sleep quality and emotional wellness
Easing musculoskeletal discomfort
Supporting chronic conditions, autoimmune responses, and fatigue
Reflexology is not a substitute for medical treatment, but it can be a powerful complementary approach, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal and rebalance.
Reflexology Therapies
is the most well-known and widely practiced type of reflexology.
By applying gentle pressure to specific points on the feet, it stimulates reflex zones that correspond to organs and systems in the body.
This technique promotes deep relaxation, detoxification, and a return to balance.
It’s ideal during times of stress, fatigue, hormonal shifts, or overall tension in the body.
Spinal Reflexology focuses on the reflex zones of the spine, as mapped on the soles of the feet. This method targets specific vertebral areas, stimulating nerves and organ connections, helping to relieve tension and restore postural and neurological balance.
Ideal for clients experiencing:
chronic back or neck pain
muscular stiffness
stress-related tension or poor posture
Facial Reflexology combines gentle stimulation of reflex points on the face with holistic facial care. The face, reflecting the body’s internal state, often holds signs of stress, imbalance, and fatigue.
Benefits include:
improved facial tone and radiance
relief from migraines, sinus issues, jaw tension
deep relaxation and emotional release
Orthopaedic Reflexology is a specialised approach addressing musculoskeletal imbalances, pain, and restricted mobility. By stimulating targeted reflex zones, it helps to release tension, improve posture, and support natural movement restoration.

carpal tunnel syndrome
joint or muscle discomfort

Typical Reflexology Session
Each reflexology session begins with a brief consultation to understand your needs, health background, and any specific concerns. This allows the practitioner to tailor the session according to your physical and emotional condition.
The treatment is performed while you remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a massage table or reclining chair. Only your socks and shoes are removed.
During the session, the practitioner applies focused pressure to specific reflex points on the feet, hands, or face — depending on your individual needs. The pressure is firm but never painful, and aims to clear blockages and encourage the healthy flow of energy throughout the body.
A typical session lasts around 45 to 60 minutes. The environment is calm and nurturing, often accompanied by soft music, essential oils, or gentle lighting to enhance relaxation.
What to Expect During a Session
A sense of deep relaxation and calm
A gentle reset of the body’s systems
Sometimes, emotional release or light physical reactions (e.g. increased urination, temporary tiredness) as the body rebalances
Aftercare advice may be given (hydration, rest, light eating)
Many clients report feeling “lighter,” more centered, and deeply relaxed after a session — both physically and emotionally.
Reflexology & Reiki
The Combined Approach
In certain sessions, Effie integrates both Reflexology and Reiki, offering a unique and deeply holistic experience that supports the body, mind, and energetic field as one.
While Reflexology works through physical pressure points to support the organs, circulation, and overall vitality, Reiki flows subtly through the body’s energy pathways, promoting emotional calm and energetic alignment.
This combination may:
Deepen relaxation on all levels
Support emotional release and energetic cleansing
Strengthen the body’s self-healing abilities
Offer a sense of inner reset and harmony
Each session is intuitively tailored to the individual’s needs, making it an ideal choice for those seeking deeper balance and integrated support.
