Reflexology and Aromatherapy in Cardiff
Reflexology & Aromatherapy are complementary therapies which can help to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium, helping you to optimise your health & well-being. The practice is based in Penarth which is easily accessable from Cardiff Bay and Cardiff as well as Barry, Cowbridge and villages in and around the Vale of Glamorgan area. I also run a clinic in Llanishen at Bridge Cottage Therapies, a beautiful Woodland Retreat & Yoga Centre.
How can Aromatherapy & Reflexology support your health & healing?
Aromatherapy & Reflexology work on both a physical and psychological level, helping you to feel deeply relaxed and in turn helping to support your body's own healing process.Reflexology uses compression massage techniques on reflexes in the feet which correspond to organs and systems of our body – our feet are therefore a ‘map’ of our body. Congestion or tension in any part of the foot is often mirrored in the corresponding part of the body and reflexology can encourage the body to release that tension. Reflexology can help to increase circulation, encourage our lymphatic system to release toxins and help to restore balance and harmony in the functioning of the mind and body.
Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils from plants which when applied via massage are absorbed into the blood stream and act therapeutically on our body systems. Massage also increases the circulation, stimulates our lymphatic system to release toxins (and importantly those excess levels of cortisol & stress hormones) and encourages our muscles to relax (particularly in the shoulders, neck and upper back)
As well as stress, both therapies have been shown to be effective in supporting a whole range of symptoms including back tension and pain, headaches & migraines, arthritic conditions, sleep disorders, sports injuries, digestive disorders such as IBS or constipation, or reproductive conditions including menstrual problems, fertility and the menopause.
