Reflexology in York by Therapist Renni Prelle

Reflexology is a complementary therapy based on the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which are believed to correspond to all organs and parts of the body. Reflexology works on an individual basis and may alleviate and improve symptoms such as everyday stress and tension.    

Treatment: When you come for your first visit I will do a thorough consultation to get an overall picture of you and your ailments. While I ask about your general health, medical history and lifestyle to have a  better understanding of your needs, your feet can enjoy a foot spa. You can also let me know what you expect from your Reflexology session. You will then be asked to make yourself comfortable on my treatment couch and relax. There is no need to remove any clothing apart from your shoes and socks. Reflexology is also a good choice if you don't want to get oil on your body or in your hair.  

Providing Reflexology on your feet or hands will help you to relax which can help improve mood, aid sleep and relieve tension. Reflexology can be  a wonderfully relaxing experience where you take time out from everyday pressure. Reflexology will give you a sense of general well-being.

During the treatment I can detect which parts of your body are out of balance and these imbalances can be corrected by applying pressure on certain reflex points. The aim is to treat the whole person achieving a state of balanced harmony. Many clients use Reflexology as a regular relaxing and balancing therapy even after the initial problem has been dealt with.

COVID19 UPDATE: I am now able to offer Reflexology treatments again, either in my garden if the weather is kind to us or inside with a view onto the garden. Facial Massage and Head-Neck-Shoulder Massage are still not available due to Government restrictions.

Please be rest assured that I have done additional training in "Control of Cross Infection in a Post Covid19 World". To make sure that you and I are safe, my therapy couch and my reflexology chair will be desinfected before and after each treatment, my pillows have all wipeable cushion covers, I will be wearing a visor and would urge you to wear face covering too. Hand Sanitizer will be available.

NEW: HEAD-NECK-SHOULDER SELF MASSAGE: Most of us feel very tense due to current circumstances. The shoulder comes up the neck and we might experience more headaches than ever before. During this 1-2-1 zoom session I will show you how to do a head-neck-and shoulder massage on yourself to ease off tension and to relax you.

NEW: HOT STONE REFLEXOLOGY: This is a very soothing and therapeutic treatment due to the warmth of the different sized stones.

I will combine a traditional Reflexology session with using the basalt stones to further enhance the relaxation and the heat does help to relax the muscles in the feet. This will be beneficial for your circulation, your lymph function, the blood flow, you will get a feeling of warmth and comfort as well as balancing body and mind.
