About Reflexology
What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is the practice of treating points and areas on the feet and hands that relate to corresponding parts of the body. Using precise hand and finger techniques, it encourages your body to heal itself at its own pace. It is a fully complementary therapy and you can have treatments even when you are on medication.
Reflexology dates back 5,000 years, and was used by the Egyptians, Chinese and Native Americans. They believed that a technique of applying gentle pressure to your hands or feet can bring about a state of relaxation and help the body’s own healing process.
Reflexology treats the whole person, not just their symptoms. It arrived in Ireland in the 1980’s and has rapidly grown in popularity here becoming firmly established as an effective and gentle form of holistic therapy.

What to expect from a Reflexology treatment
A treatment typically lasts one hour. On the first visit, I will conduct a full personal health consultation. This will take into consideration your past and present health and lifestyle. The consultation enables the treatment to be tailored to your specific needs.
Reflexology is non-invasive. You remain fully-clothed throughout the treatment; only shoes and socks are removed. It is a soothing, calming and relaxing experience. Many people fall asleep during the treatment, while others savour the opportunity to take time out from their busy lives and recharge their batteries.

Baby massage and reflexology (“reflexage”) is a unique combination of baby reflexology and massage suitable for babies aged 6 weeks to 9 months. It is a gentle and natural way to enhance bonding between parent and baby. The calming effects of touch through massage and reflexology are hugely beneficial to both baby and parent.
I will teach you techniques to help your baby with comfort and sleep; colic, reflux and constipation; teething, colds and coughs. These techniques can be used anywhere and at any time.
All courses are run by me, a Tiny Toes-qualified baby reflexage instructor. Each course comprises 4 weekly classes of approximately 1 hour 15 minutes duration. Classes are supported by handouts and videos showing the techniques covered by the course.
Classes are relaxed and baby-led, with breaks for refreshments and chat. They provide a great opportunity for you to meet other new mums in your area. Classes are held at Yogaheads, a spacious studio on Dominick Street in the heart of Mullingar.
