Facial Reflexology
Facial Reflexology focuses on reflex / pressure points on the face which help stimulate the bodies natural healing response, improve circulation and nerve conduction, encouraging the release of toxins from the body via the lymphatic system. The faces close proximity to the brain and cranial nerves make facial reflexology powerful in helping all the body systems and for it to function at it's optimum level. It has all the wonderful benefits Foot Reflexology with the bonus of improving the appearance of the face.
I have been lucky enough to train with Ziggie Bergman a pioneer in modern Facial Reflexology and have completed courses in Facial Reflexology for stress, health and well being and the Advance Facial Reflexology. Modern reflexology taught today is based on the system of ten longitudinal zones, Native American and the Bergman method techniques which allows trained Reflexologists to use their existing knowledge and skills to adapt the sequence for each clients needs.
For the first appointment a consultation form will be completed. The Facial Reflexology will be carried out in a Lafuma chair making you comfortable and warm with blankets. I will cleanse your face with cucumber wipes which are suitable for all skin types, then I will apply facial serum from Alami which is a beautiful product bursting with nutrients and antioxidants, vegan friendly, natural and ethical ingredients. Light upward stroking movements are used with some pressure on reflex points which correspond to different parts of the body. This stimulates your body's own healing mechanism to create balance. With the face being in close proximity to the brain and cranial nerves, this impacts neural pathways and the whole of the body's systems. Crystals such as the rose quartz wand can be used in the treatment to balance chakras, balance emotions, remove negative energy and promote self love. After care advice is always given following your treatment too.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have received Botox or Facial Fillers, you must wait 3 weeks before having a facial Reflexology treatment. If you have undergone Face Lift surgery, a treatment cannot go ahead until 3 months after the operation and 6 months if there have been any complications and/or infection. Sometimes if you have had dental surgery or facial injuries it is advisable to wait so please contact me.
