Treatments

---

At your first appointment, a detailed medical history will be taken. This will enable me to establish why you are here and your health and lifestyle. 

A full treatment session will last approximately 45 minutes.  However, please allow at least an hour and a quarter to include discussion and medical history, setting up and down of mobile equipment.

You will be seated and reclined in my reflexology lafuma chair or other reclining seat you may have or prefer. 

You will be asked to just take off your shoes and socks and they will be washed with hot towels.

It is recommended not to wear tight fitted trousers for comfort.

I am proud to use Songbird reflexology balm - a beeswax and you will have a choice of scents to use.

Areas corresponding to parts of the body which are out of balance may feel uncomfortable or tender when massaged and the degree of tenderness will indicate the degree of imbalance. 

The sensitivity of the feet varies from person to person. The treatment should not be very uncomfortable to even the most sensitive of feet and the pressure I use can easily be adjusted, so don't worry about that!

The number of treatment sessions required will vary, it is an accumulative therapy, so you may require an increase of frequency to begin with, but usually then between 4 and 6 weekly is recommended. However, you will still benefit from the relaxation of the treatment even if it is a one off!

An aftercare leaflet will be provided.

An FRT  hand or foot rainbow relaxation routine can last between 15 and 30 minutes and can take place where ever the individual is comfortable, Im very happy to be sat on the floor. Due to the nature of some of the clients I support, the session may only be 5 minutes and we can build up to 15 minutes or not.

I have communication aids with me in the form of widget symbols, which is often successful with a range of individuals needs and I use an unscented beeswax reflexology balm for this therapy.

Within a care home/supported living setting  I am able to provide the 15 minute treatment to three or four individuals, within my hour.

This calmness inducing routine can also be provided in the form of a workshop to:

• to healthcare assistants in a care setting.
• Parents and carers

Or you can:

• Learn the Self-Help Techniques of the Functional Reflex Therapy Rainbow Relaxation Routine to support your own well-being as a workshop. 

I have provided the self care routine to various community groups and primary age children.

Please contact me to discuss any of the above further, so I can meet your specific needs.

As with foot reflexology there are micro systems on the ear that relate to to the anatomy of the body. These systems on the ear will be massaged using my thumbs and fingers simultaneously.

I will  ask you to clean your ears with an antibacterial wipe provided and I will assess  your ears prior to the treatment. No balm is needed for this treatment.

EAR SEEDS - If it is thought that you would benefit from ear seeds post treatment then these will be applied by myself  in the form of medicinal Vacaria plant seeds or Tourmaline mineral seeds. A maximum of 3 ear seeds per ear is recommended.  As part of your self care between treatments or in isolation.

This can also be offered as part of a reflexology treatment.

An after care leaflet for ear seeding is provided.
