Holistic Therapy

​Have you wondered what the difference is between conventional treatments and holistic therapy? And how reflexology fits in?
Conventional medicine generally deals with symptoms such as pain, swelling, low mood, hot flushes. But they are frequently unable to fix the root cause of the problem. Treating symptoms through painkillers, steroid injections, HRT, antidepressants etc help for a while but only provide a temporary solution.
Holistic therapy is all about healing the body naturally from the inside out. It aims to heal body, mind, and spirit, therefore it also looks at healing the emotional aspects of well-being as well as the physical ones.
Disease and ill health are caused by imbalances within the body’s systems. These are caused by many factors such as pollution, diet, exercise, stress, poor sleep etc. By asking detailed questions an holistic therapist will help to understand what needs to be done to rebalance those systems to produce wellness.
As a reflexologist I am passionate about helping you achieve the best balance possible, by applying pressure to specific areas of the feet. By stimulating the nerve endings, messages are sent to the brain to “wake it up” and see what needs stimulating or suppressing to achieve balance.
As a nurse with more than 25 years’ experience I appreciate conventional medical science but believe that it is more effective when supported by holistic therapy.
