What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is a type of massage which is based on a theory that there are certain points on the feet and hands that are connected energetically to specific organs and body parts.
When a reflexologist applies pressure to these areas, he may remove energy blockages and offer a range of health benefits.
You should consider a reflexology treatment if you’re experiencing:
- Tension headaches and migraines
- Stress
- Insomnia
- Hormonal imbalances
- Digestive disorders
- Arthritis
- PMS
- Back pain
- Multiple sclerosis
- Sports injuries
- Sinus issues
But the benefits of reflexology are not just physical. This treatment can also improve your mental and emotional state. Are you ready to feel deeply relaxed?

Great massage, very professional team. Would highly recommend.
Future is exactly what it’s name says… a true look into the future for beauty!
I personally always go for the amazing treatments— unreal massages from Saila and a fantastic infrared sauna.
Claudia also does incredible skin treatments, and have been going to her for my pre-wedding glow up!
Thanks so much to Adie + the team
Wonderful Therapeutic Massage with Saila Insua Lopez. She tailored my treatment to suit my needs. I left feeling relaxed and wanting to book my next appointment. Thanks ladies.
I love going there! Every time after my treatments I feel very relaxed and refreshed. Everyone there is super nice and friendly. I had body contouring with Indiba and TruFlex, lymphatic drainage massage and facials – everything was perfect! Last time I paired my treatments with Infrared sauna and it became a perfect spa day.
Thank you Wonder and thank you Claudia for my treatment for Ultraformer MPT and my beautiful Hollywood Lift & Booster Glow. My face looks much brighter, with a natural plump and glow. After the session l did not have any redness, no pain and was ready to out and party. After 2 days my skin kept on improving with a youthful glow and tightening. My fine lines had disappeared after one session. It was a natural look with no Botox. Everybody at work was commenting on how healthy and good my skin looked. I would definitely recommend this treatment to all my friends. Thank you Claudia for making me feel special and my skin youthful again.
Could you kindly call to arrange services. Do you offer I home services and treatments
Frequently Asked Questions about reflexology
Reflexology is safe, noninvasive and comfortable to receive. However, talk to your doctor first if you have circulatory problems in the feet, gout, foot ulcers, blood clots, fungal infections, epilepsy, thyroid problems or open wounds on your hands or feet. This treatment may also not be suitable if you have diabetes, kidney stones or certain types of cancer.
No, it shouldn’t hurt. You may feel some discomfort but your therapist will always be consistent with communication. After asking you how are you feeling, he/she will come off of the pressure.
As your condition improves so will the soreness. Pain should always be brief and kept at bearable levels. Your reflexologist may also suggest deep breathing techniques to reduce the uncomfortable sensation.
A reflexologist will ask you about your lifestyle, medical history, and current health. Your information will always be kept confidential.
Yes, you can. If we find that an area of the feet is too tickly, we can switch to using hand reflexology. Your reflexologist will adjust his/her touch to make the treatment more comfortable. You might need more pressure in order to alleviate the ticklish feeling but there are also several relaxation techniques you can try during the treatment. Your therapist will make sure you feel comfortable.
This shouldn’t prevent you from having treatment. Nor should corns or calluses on your feet. If a part of your foot is inaccessible, the reflexologist will treat your hand instead.
While there are some similarities with massage and reflexology, they are two different modalities. While massage therapy works through the musculoskeletal system, Reflexology works through the central nervous system. Also, reflexology works through the stimulation of the nerve reflexes on the feet, ankles, hands, ears or your face but massage targets the entire muscle groups.
The reflexology goal is to improve the function of the human organs, while massage is designed to relieve tension through the muscles.
This type of session starts with gentle strokes that help you relax. As you’re becoming more and more relaxed, thumb & finger pressure will gradually increase in order to relax specific reflex areas.
Your therapist might use a light oil to avoid friction. You may experience a feeling of deep relaxation, twitching, and warmth in the area of the body being worked on.
Your body needs time to normalize between treatments which mean that you should probably visit your reflexologist once a week. We are all different and the number of treatments depends on the condition that you have, your age and general health state but you should probably wait about a week between therapies to avoid overloading the body.
If you are having treatments purely for relaxation purposes, you can be booked whenever you feel like it.
Make sure to ask your doctor first and tell your reflexologist before your session. Some pressure points may induce contraction. Reflexology prepares your body for labor by balancing the body’s systems. It’s mostly safe, but some conditions are unsuitable: placenta praevia, bleeding, continuous vomiting, toxemia, and DVT (deep vein thrombosis).
