Sessions
A Session of Reflexology:
For the initial session I will have an intake form for you to fill out. Please fill out the form to the best of your knowledge. The form will include a brief health history as well as general contact information. I will then ask questions and talk with you for approximately 15 minutes to find out more about you in order to start a holistic investigation on who and how you are, in effect gaining greater perspective by which to apply treatment. I feel that talking and getting to know one another is an important part of a therapeutic relationship as I do focus my work on holistic therapy rather than strictly bodywork.
After the initial intake I will show you to the treatment room, where there will be a comfortable reclining chair for you to relax in while I work on your feet (and hands if requested). During the session, for which I will work for an hour, I will address the reflexes of the entire foot (both feet) and discover which areas are tender or have tension. Sometimes I will find crystal like formations as well - which may or may not be tender. I will then take notes on which areas are causing discomfort and ask you certain questions related to these tender reflexes.
I may simply ask, "On a scale from 1 to 5, how tender is that area (1 being the least uncomfortable, 5 being the most). I may also ask you to close your eyes, which you may do at any time, but sometimes one needs to just focus on their breathing with eyes closed. When the session is over I may do some guided breathing while I activate certain reflexes on your feet. Then when all is done I will gently place my hands on your knees as a gentle signifying of a session complete.
Please feel free to call me anytime if you are experiencing a reaction and could use some reassurance as to what may be happening.
