About Reflexology

Reflexology is known to promote balance, improve circulation and induce deep relaxation. It works through the nervous, electrical, magnetic and chemical systems of the body promoting homeostasis for mind, body and spirit.

Reflexology techniques are applied to reflex maps that resemble the human body. These maps are found on the extremities: the feet, hands and ears.

About Aromatherapy

Holistic aromatherapy works to support the balance of mind, body and spirit through either topical or inhaled applications of essential oils. These concentrated plant oils are chosen for their chemistry and energetic properties and not solely based on smell or a single action.

An aromatherapy treatment will take into account the client's goals, health history, medications and scent preferences of the client.
