Clinical Reflexology
If you’re like most people, you probably spend a good deal of time on your feet. Whether it’s running errands around town, going for a jog in the park, or even waiting in line at the grocery store, your feet take quite a pounding. Due to the numerous nerve endings at the soles of the feet, accumulated tension and stress in this area can have adverse effects throughout the whole body. Conversely, by working on the feet you are affecting the body’s autonomic nervous system, which in turn helps to relax the entire body.
The feet can be viewed as a map of the body. All the major organs, systems, and anatomical areas have corresponding reflex zones on the feet. A typical session will often address specific areas of tension held within the body as well as a broader application through relaxation techniques.
Reflexology is a scientific art based on the premise that zones and reflex areas correspond to all body parts in the feet. Applying specific pressure using thumb, finger & hand techniques result in physiological changes in the body. Reflexology is an excellent way to reduce stress and anxiety. It helps to improve circulation, increase range of motion, strengthen the immune system, and aid in such chronic issues as insomnia, digestive issues, high blood pressure, migraines, kidney stones, depression, and so much more.

Structural Reflexology
Foot pain is a common issue that many Americans endure, yet most either overlook it or have resigned themselves to living with it. During a Structural Reflexology Session, Haley employs a specific protocol developed by Geraldine Villeneuve, which has been effectively utilized for the past forty years. This approach aids in alleviating joint tension, reducing muscle strain, enhancing joint mobility, and restoring the feet to a comfortable state. These sessions not only improve joint articulation and support weight-bearing and balance but also enhance blood and nerve circulation to the feet and throughout the body. Furthermore, they relieve compensatory issues in both the feet and body while increasing strength and vitality. This modality is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing Plantar Fasciitis, Bone Spur Syndrome, Morton's Neuroma, Bunions, Neuropathy, Calluses, and various forms of foot and leg pain. Haley will provide education regarding foot health, the necessity of properly fitting shoes (which includes a foot measurement and foot printing session), and techniques for mindful walking to enhance gait and continue to improve in foot health.
