Reflexology & Reiki
In-Person Services
What is Reflexology?
According to the Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC), Reflexology is a natural, safe, non-invasive therapeutic method based on the principle that reflexes in the hands, ear, and feet correspond to every body part, endocrine gland, and organ in the entire body.
Through the application of pressure on these reflexes using specific hand and finger techniques, reflexology can lead to several benefits.
What are the possible benefits?
Like any other holistic modality, there is no one guaranteed outcome for clients. Instead, there are numerous POTENTIAL benefits that people have reported during and after Reflexology sessions:
- Reduced feelings of stress and tension
- Improved circulation
- Enhanced ability of body to function optimally
- Reduction of discomfort (through the release of endorphins)
- Relaxation as the body enters the parasympathetic state
- Improved sleep
- Feelings of peace, security, and greater well-being
- Harmony and balance in mind, body, and spirit
- Clear mind and improved focus
- Improved ability to regulate and release emotions
What does a session look like?
After filling out an intake form and returning it to me before your first visit, we will spend a few minutes discussing your health history, current life situation, and goals for the session. I will answer any questions you may have so you feel at ease.
Clients remain fully clothed on the massage table, with or without a blanket (depending on your temperature preferences). The room will have only dim light, gentle music, and pleasant scents from a candle or diffuser (optional depending on sensitivities) to facilitate complete relaxation.
During a Reflexology session, the practitioner first washes and wraps each foot in a hot towel. Then throughout the 60-minute session, the practitioner applies firm pressure to reflex points on the client’s bare feet using their thumbs and fingers. At the end of the session, the client will receive a relaxing foot massage with moisturizing creams.
It is important to stress that Reflexology does not heal. Instead, it merely creates the circumstances where the body and mind can do what they are designed to do.

What is Reiki?
Reiki has been used by many people as a simple, natural, and safe technique for reducing stress, improving relaxation, and promoting inner peace, balance, and harmony.
Reiki can be loosely translated as “spiritually guided life force energy,” though it’s important to stress that Reiki is not connected to any religion. During a session, the practitioner acts as a conduit for this unseen, powerful life force energy. You don’t have to believe anything special for this experience.
What are the possible benefits?
- Relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and greater well-being
- Harmony and balance in mind, body, and spirit
- Release of tension from the body
- Reduced levels of discomfort
- Clear mind and improved focus
- Better sleep
- Increased spiritual growth and emotional cleansing

During the 60-minute session, gentle touch is used, allowing universal life force energy (Reiki) to flow through the practitioner and into the client where it needs to go. You may feel heat where the practitioner is working, and you may even fall asleep due to the deep feelings of relaxation that often accompany Reiki energy.
