pre-session care
Please see below some useful tips to help you get ready for your session and make the most of your treatment.
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a non-invasive complementary therapy that uses gentle pressure on specific reflex points on the feet. These points correspond to different organs, systems and areas of the body. The treatment promotes deep relaxation, helps reduce stress and tension, and supports your overall wellbeing.
Your Session
Your session is your time, a dedicated space for you to relax, unwind and be looked after. Everything you share with me is completely confidential. You are welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with, and I will always tailor the treatment to you and your needs on the day.
What to Expect
We will begin with a short health consultation to talk through how you are feeling and agree the focus of your session. This is followed by a 40 minute reflexology treatment, you will simply need to remove your shoes and socks.
Using a combination of gentle massage and acupressure techniques applied to the reflex points on your feet, the treatment is deeply relaxing and completely non-invasive.
Many people prefer to close their eyes and drift into a state of deep relaxation, some even fall asleep, while others enjoy some gentle conversation. Either is absolutely fine and there is no right or wrong way to experience your session.
To help you switch off, I offer an eye pillow and play soft background music throughout the treatment.
How to Prepare
To help you get the most from your session, please:
— Drink plenty of water in the hours leading up to your appointment
— Avoid a heavy meal in the 1–2 hours beforehand — a light snack is absolutely fine
— Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows easy access to your lower legs and feet
Arriving at The Therapy Loft
Please arrive on time rather than early, as the reception area is not always staffed. On arrival, ring the buzzer for Room 6 and I will open the door remotely. You are welcome to wait in the reception area and I will come and collect you as soon as I am ready.
Your Intake Form
If you haven't already completed your intake form, please do so before your appointment this helps me tailor your treatment to you and ensures we can make the most of our time together.
See you soon, Georgia X
