reflexology
Reflexology is the study, science, and art of applying pressure to areas of the feet (and/or hands) to trigger a response in the rest of the body. It has been used for thousands of years across multiple cultures. Like traditional bodywork, reflexology provides relaxation – sometimes, a deeper, more fulfilling kind of relaxation. The theory behind reflexology is that our feet and our hands mirror the rest of our body. An area of tension in the foot has a direct correlation to a specific part in the body. There is a multitude of nerve endings, bones, and muscles in the feet that, like the rest of the body, can be compressed, misaligned, or tight.
In today's society, our feet (and our hands) are unintentionally the most neglected parts of our bodies. Our feet spend the majority of the day in shoes and in most cases, ill-fitting shoes. A majority of the population work jobs that require them to be standing consistently. As amazing and complex as humans are designed, it was not intended for the amount of pressure and strain that we put ourselves through.

Reflexology Options:
Reflexology is capable of creating a full body massage experience by addressing pressure points that correspond with other areas of the body. It is commonly used for stress relief but is also a less invasive alternative for pain management.
- 1 Hour Reflexology
Reflexology sessions should ideally be a full hour. Like a traditional bodywork session, in order to work/assess everything an hour gives enough time for a thorough assessment and focus to problem areas. Experience a deeper sense of relaxation starting from the ground up! This full hour is dedicated to Reflexology.
- Reflexology Combo Journey (90min/2-hour options)
The session begins with a full hour of reflexology. During that time, the therapist uses pressure points in the feet to assess the entire body. Afterwards, the remaining time will be used to address areas that need more attention.
