Frequently Asked Questions
Is Reflexology Safe?Yes. Being trained in the Original Ingham Method of Reflexology gives me the knowledge and skills to work with people of all ages, from newborn babies to the elderly, including the provision of professional reflexology during pregnancy, chemotherapy and palliative care.
Is Reflexology Ticklish?No. The way in which a I hold and work the feet is with a firm pressure which is not at all ticklish.
Is Reflexology Painful?Reflexology can be extremely relaxing, however if there is a part of the body that is unbalanced, the corresponding reflex point may feel sore or tender whilst I work to rebalance the area. The degree of pressure used will always be within the individuals comfort-zone.
How does Reiki work?Reiki teachings believe that we are alive because of the life force energy flowing through us. It flows within our body though pathways called chakras and nadis (conduits similar to the Chinese meridians) and it also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. This life force nourishes the organs and cells of our body, helping them fulfill their vital functions.
If this flow of life force is disrupted then our physical health will be affected by causing the functions in one or more of the organs and tissues of the body to be diminished.
Our thoughts and feelings also affect our physical health depending on whether our thoughts are positive or negative. Negative thoughts and feelings will restrict the smooth flow of life force energy (Ki). It is an accepted fact that the mind plays an important part in creating illness either directly or indirectly.
Reiki works by channeling an energy source through the therapist into the person receiving the treatment.This energy flows through sick or unhealthy areas, breaks them up and clears negativity allowing a normal healthy flow of Ki to resume which results in the unhealthy physical organs and tissues being flooded with nourishing Ki helping them function in a balanced healthy way, enabling the client to heal.
